I asked one of the buffest kids on the block about fasted cardio and the response I got was so scientific that I spent more hours researching and looking up the definitions of the words.

I appreciate your response but please keep it in simple english, I'm a noob and I don't understand the words like catecholamines.

Rant over.

    I never heard of it either and it peaked my curiosity .. soooo .. I looked it up:
    We've all heard of ' the 'fight or flight' ..

    "In the human body, the most abundant catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine, all of which are produced from phenylalanine and tyrosine. Various stimulant drugs are catecholamine analogues."

    The scientific mumbo jumbo I hear from some of these insanely in shape people on here baffles me.

    I'm trying to keep up but cant.

    But it works for them.

    And maybe the whole fake it til you make would apply here.

    #1 - no you are not the only one

    #2 - my take on the 'buffest kid on the block' is that he/she is a dumb *kitten* and didn't have a clue what you were talking about.

    My idea is this:

    fasted - means on an empty stomach;
    cardio - well we all know what that means.

    If you really want a quick easy answer just type in fasted cardio in your search bar and see what you find. That is how I get many answers to many questions. I'll bet you aren't the first person to ask that question. So see you aren't a dumbass afterall, just an inquisitive person.

    The best teachers can explain something effectively without you having to google it.

    You aren't dumb = They're just bad teachers, find a good one.

    I'm one too... I like the KISS technique. Keep it Simple Stupid. Calories in vs. calories out.... thats what it all boils down to.

    The only dumbass here? If the inability to recognize sarcasm is a sign of being one, then certainly not! I have evidence!

    So why not tell HIM that you didn't understand instead of just complaining about it here?

    I'm with you. Rather than learning multiple-syllable words and scientific reasons behind things, I'd much rather keep it simple with picture books.
