    getting rid of the fat

    probably true enough, but even so, the plasma lipid-lowering characteristics of almonds can't be overlooked.

    Squats are Evil

    I alternate squats with leg extensions. Let's just say that I really *love* my extension days

    getting rid of the fat

    :D :D :D OK, so you're *not* middle aged!!! Your diet looks pretty danged good- pretty clean, although you're eating 45-50 grams of fat just in your peanut butter. And probably about 10-15 grams of saturated fat as part of that (assuming you're eating a commercial brand). I'd get rid of...

    getting rid of the fat

    Matt- Welcome to the forum! What does your diet look like? This is really the first place to start. If you're eating too much, and especially if you're not eating clean, HST isn't going to help you much. Also, if you want to cut, it's probably a given that you'll need to introduce some...

    HIIT training with HST?

    Jeffro- I think it will depend on your goals as to how you work cardio in, but let me share with you my moitivation for doing some form of cardio 6 days/week. I do HIIT (stationary cycling: 20 minutes, 5min warmup and cooldown, and 10 bouts of 30sec sprint/30sec baseline) after lifting during...

    I think I overestimated a few weights..

    I'd alternate them too, and consider dropping to one set for your 15s. THen increase to two sets for your 10s. Also, why do benches and dips? You could alternate these too!

    Health risks

    In a word, yes- you can still use HST and eat naturally (I'm assuming by that you mean you'll drop the supps).

    Exercising while injured

    Glad to hear you're doing better, fire, and glad to help! Just to clarify something you said in the previous post about NSAIDs masking ability- actually, NSAIDs diminish inflammation, so any pain relief you get from them is a result of the drug interfering with the COX-1 enzyme that is a...

    Switching Gyms

    Great list, Bryan! Hannes, I don't know if this is part of your research question or not, but have you considered people who switch from a gym to home or vice-versa? These types of switches might be different from switching from gym to gym. I'd bet that the list of reasons wouldn't be much...

    Exercising while injured

    I hear what you're saying about the NSAIDs- my doc had me on 800mg of ibuprofen 3x/day for a month to treat a cervical spondylitis several years ago. It was ripping me up, but a physician coworker of mine suggested a neat trick, and it really worked: eat about half a meal before taking the...

    Exercising while injured

    Hey fire- sorry to hear about this- I had the same thing (with a lateral epicondylitis, too- what a drag) last year, although mine wasn't as bad as yours sounds- I was able to fight it off with careful exercise, a steady stream of NSAIDs (aspirin and ketoprofen), and conscientious use of a...

    Unsweetened Yams

    In thinking about it, I don't think I've ever seen canned unsweetened yams- not to say they don't exist, I've just never seen them. The first place I'd try would be a health food store or something like a Whole Foods. I have to ask, though- why not cook them fresh? They can be baked, boiled...

    Brown rice seasoning?

    It sounds to me like you overcooked it, or cooked it too fast. when you do that, the grains split, and spill the germ out as gelatinous whitish-colored mass. (I've never seen yellow, but it could be the variety you're using.) Try soaking one cup of rice in 2.5 cups of cold water in a cooking...

    Is it ok to drink sedimented water?

    It could be "poo" but more likely, it's rust, especially given that it's only found in water coming from certain taps. Ruhl, have you tried running the water until it's clear? This usually works if it is rust. However, there is some reason to be concerned that if there's rust, there...

    Is it ok to drink sedimented water?

    Assuming that you mean water with sediment in it, you shouldn't drink it without filtering and purification becuase the sediment often contains (harmful) bacteria as well as amebae and other interesting parasitic organisms. In addition, the sediment can contain unhealthy concentrations of...
