James Krieger on Glycemic Index.
A copy pasta from James Krieger, a brilliant man with a head that's damn near as big and misshapen as mine. "Conclusions in science are always tentative based on the data. When presented with new data, a scientist evaluates that new data against the current body of data, and determines whether current conclusions are…

Building muscle AND losing fat.
This is an article by Menno Henselmans. It's short but well worth the read. I happen to agree with his stance on this. http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/gain-muscle-and-lose-fat-at-the-same-time/

Online coaching update -- 1-3 slots open in November
Hey! (First -- this thread exists in a group that I moderate on Myfitnesspal. It is not in the public forums and consequently this advertisement for my coaching is not against MFP forum rules. It is against forum rules to post in the main forums). So one of the reasons I haven't been posting as much on MFP is that I'm much…

Saturday night Q and A
Hey everyone, I thought I'd make a Q and A thread in the main forums. Yes, I know that these can really come across as arrogant (not my intent) so go ahead and troll me :) I'll be around for a couple hours if anyone has any general questions about training/diet, feel free to post here.

Training while injured.
Injuries suck. Depending on what it is, you could be out for a few days, a few weeks, or several months. And if fitness is a big part of your life, that injury could be taking away something that gives you a great amount of satisfaction. I've had multiple back injuries that have taken me out of competition twice in 2014, a…

So anyway I'm still alive
Hey kids. So you probably don't even remember me but I'm that one dude who started this group with Sara but then she stopped showing up.

Palatability experiment
Hey everyone, So this is going to be a rather goofy post that I might also post in my blog. I'm also going to paste the link to this to my online clients to see if I can have some of them attempt this and report their results. I'm a big fan of Stephan Guyenet. He's an obesity researcher who focuses on the neurobiology of…

Non tracking methods and behaviors that may help while tracking
I'm copy and pasting a reply I made from our Eat, Train, Progress forum group. This was originally regarding fat loss without tracking calories. I'm posting this here primarily because I think some of these behaviors can be quite beneficial even when calories are being tracked. A few updates on the below: Regarding the…

PL meet recap
Hey! Competed in my second PL meet. I'm happy with how I did overall, although I missed my last DL attempt and I really wanted it but I just plain ran out of steam. Bar went off the floor fairly fast, got it to just below my knees and it went straight back down. Hitting that last pull would have gotten me to 1200 total…

Meal Frequency. Rev up that furnace. LOL.
I've written about this before and I'll be cutting and pasting from a previous thread but this should go here as well. There's a long held belief in the fitness community that eating frequently "boosts your metabolism". Often times analogies are used involving a furnace or a car, and they sound good, but unfortunately they…

IIFYM
Probably one of the most amazing but misunderstood concepts circulating among bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts in general, is IIFYM. What started as a phrase from a user named Erik Stevens on bodybuilding.com, quickly caught on and proceeded to cause an uproar of internet stupidity everywhere. IIFYM stands for "If It…

USAPL Minnesota State Open
Sara and I competed this weekend in the USAPL Minnesota State Open. This was my first full powerlifting meet and I was excited and nervous as FUARK. I was injured several times last year from random things and it prevented me from getting on the platform. I have a lot of thoughts about this, but we made a few videos for…
