Series of workout vids on YouTube

feeds@yuku.com (Serious Strength) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 04:04:49 GMT

I am posting a new series of workout videos on You Tube. If I can figure it right, it will be a series of separate videos in sequence that will indicate a full workout leaving the set up out of the pic so all you'll see is the working set.

Enjoy.

Experiences with a minimalist approach to training

feeds@yuku.com (Serious Strength) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 05:03:27 GMT

I'm interested in knowing what people have experienced with a minimalist approach to body building. FE: Has anyone gone from a HIT-based program to a traditional body builder approach and made better gain? Vice versa? If you've got photos, please feel free to post. I have recently upped my volume considerably - nearly thrice what I have done in the past both in terms of volume and sets per exercise. I was hoping for a jump in lean mass but alas, not a drop of extra muscle has been...

Fools and Partials

feeds@yuku.com (Sumo) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 11:45:17 GMT

Previously stats, in his usual stalking fashion, noted that I was banned from the stronglifts forum;

http://seriousstrength.yuku.com/reply/16761/t/knee-extensions-and-useable-strength.html#reply-16761

One of the reasons for this was that I disagreed with a fellow who argued that a fellow who was strong at fulls would be strong at partials. This...

Core stability

This is a very enlightening article on the myths of core stability.

Ethics question in research studies

feeds@yuku.com (Lincoln) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:59:41 GMT

Let's say a researcher does a study. He examines a group of people with problems, trying to determine the most common source of those problems. Let's say he finds that 30.4% of the problems were caused by something we'll call X. The other 69.6% of the people have problems caused by something we'll call Y. This researcher's study does not examine the question of how many people have problems; he only examined people who already had...

Switching to Word Press

Hey gang -

Just an FYI - I am switching my webblog to Word Press. For those of you who care to read my babbling, I wanted to give you a heads up in case things go awry which they already have.

Why we don't Bench Press

feeds@yuku.com (ttraynor) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:03:40 GMT

USC running back Stafon Johnson nearly killed/crippled and out for season WITH strength coach spotting. Coach Carrol's comment: "This happens sometimes when you are doing Bench presses but this one just hit him wrong"....So coach--you mean instead of hitting him"right"?!? Medx chest/Dips/Medx dip/Avenger Incline and good 'ol pushups will have to do at our facility. Sorry Bob....

Typical and completely expected

feeds@yuku.com (jameskrieger) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:42:52 GMT

Well, Fred, it is not surprising that you closed the other 2 threads. You made a long response to one thread, and then closed it, not allowing anyone to respond to your response. I expected that this would happen. This is why you left the jpfitness forums....because you had no control (not because of childish behavior as you claim). Here, you have control and you can censor or halt threads to your desire.....essentially manipulate the opinions provided. This is not the action of someone...

What causes obesity?

feeds@yuku.com (Serious Strength) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 03:51:17 GMT

Perhaps starting a new thread will help focus this discussion/debate a bit better.

My position is that if you eat more calories than your BMR, you may or may not gain fat. This is directly from Lehninger's biochem text:

"Triacyglycerol Biosynthesis Is Regulated by Hormones".

If carbohydrate, fat, or protein is consumed in excess above normal energy needs, the excess calories may be stored and...

The 6 Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle

feeds@yuku.com (Serious Strength) — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 04:40:20 GMT

My wife and I have just completed week 1 of The Cure by Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades.

Thus far the diet goes well - we're not hungry and you can feel the fat melting.

I stink at taking pictures. I try to manipulate the flash so that I can achieve a decent shot without the flash completely washing out the subject (me). I own a little Cannon Sureshot so perhaps this is the trouble. It's a wimpy camera. Time for a new one that can do the job....

Response to Fred Hahn (continuation of discussion from Baye.com)

feeds@yuku.com (jameskrieger) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:44:19 GMT

*************
This is yet another example of the GIGANTIC bias of calories used = weight gain. It presupposes that:

1. The obese are obese because they sit too much and
2. If they moved more they'd lose weight
**************

Fred, if you actually read the review paper rather than just briefly looking at the abstract, you would realize that there is no presupposition going on. The statements made in this paper are based on a large body of work on...

**********
James: If I can, I may have access to a Dexa in Olympia if I can get down there.
*********

That doesn't address the issue. All available 2-compartment and 3-compartment body composition methods are highly inaccurate (minimum of 4-5% error rate) when compared to a 4 compartment model (the gold standard). Even DEXA has a 4-5% error rate in individuals. Thus, I take any claims of a body fat % of less than 5% with a grain of salt due to the limitations of...

Drew Baye did not post my responses to Fred, Don, and David on his site. Thus, I am posting my responses here:

My response to Don:

Don,

Your post demonstrates intellectual laziness. Rather than addressing each study referenced on its own merit, you resort to a blanket post about all scientific research. This is the hallmark of someone committing confirmation bias….quickly dismissing...

Mike Mentzer in Hell? You've Got to Read This One

feeds@yuku.com (patrickOH) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 07:57:00 GMT

Hey Guys,

I'm enjoying this thread a great deal.And Joe my friend, you know, the only real problem we have with Transformetrics is that we make too much sense with the carefully integrated multi-faceted approach that we take when it comes to strength training, body sculpting, injury prevention, nutrition and maximized life long Virility. It's all just too logical. I mean after all, how does the fact that God instills a basic self protective survival...

Sarcoplasmic vs Myofibrillar Hypertrophy

feeds@yuku.com (sb413197) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:09:56 GMT

You see this pop every so often. How good is the evidence behind this - is this pure lore and pseudoscience or is there something real to it? It would certainly explain some things if it was real, and if different training methods could induce one of more versus the other as some people say (beyond genetics ALONE), it would be that much more interesting.
