It's basically a meal replacement. 1.5 c orange juice 1 head romaine, washed Stuff that in the blender and blend it until it's juicified. Then add…

research sources (and stevia)
I know it can be frustrating trying to do research on the internet. Scholarly journals cost money and unless you attend a University with subscriptions to the journals and databases, it's expensive to access them. There are some free consumer sources such as PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ Another option is…

storytime
So I was doing my lunges the other day, one of those days where everything is really hard. So I wonder to myself, and my lifting partner who's having her 60 second rest, "Who came up with these? (4.) Must have been Nazis. (5.) Hitler himself. (6.) Soviet military. (7.) Apache warriors. (8.) Al Quaida." At this point I was…

protein powder + hot drink = not so good?
So I've tried putting chocolate protein powder in my coffee, didn't work out so well, but wasn't inedible. In a latte, tasted a bit better. But is it just me or is this stuff just made to be taken cold? Coz when I mix vanilla powder with homemade ICED coffee (or mate tea) it's delicious.

changing reps/sets
Working my way through Stage 1, and I am considering ignoring the changes to reps and sets-- the reps are supposed to decrease every 2 weeks and then the sets increase from 2 to 3. Thing is, it's hard enough to judge when I'm ready to increase resistance, and then I've got to factor in fewer reps, so maybe I can add a bit…

step-ups
How do you add weight on a step-up? I was holding a plate weight or dumbbells, but they are getting awfully heavy and I'd like to give my wrists a break if possible. Maybe put them in a backpack?
