I went to the store and bought [i]gyuu karubi[i] and gyuu bara. Karubi is short ribs and bara means boned ribs. Well, apparently, karubi has something like 2000 calories for 300 grams while bara has like 1200 calories for 250 grams. On the day that I ate the shortribs I had nothing else but veggies so that was probably cool, and today I just ate the bara as my first meal to break a 17 hour fast, but tonight I'll have sweet potatoes and chicken. I had no idea that this stuff had such high caloric content ... no wonder it's the only cheap beef at the store. While the calories are pure gold with 80% saturated fat 20% protein (yum), it just has ridiculously high calories. wow wtf, 2000kcal for 300 grams? it's gotta be like 60-70% fat for that be true :O bacon, which is on average ~35% fat is less than 400kcal/100grams | ||

Having to gather and crack them from their shells. I know Harris prefers to avoid fish oil altogether. I probably wouldn't exceed .5g per 10 lbs per day unless you were like obese or something trying to get all the PUFAs in the body fat in line. I know Robb and Poliquin and some other people have different opinions on this matter. I don't see the harm in doing <10g/day really if diet is decent and fish oil is taken with meals so the body doesn't oxidize it for energy. Wouldn't worry too much.... supplements are supplements. Leave them to be as such and don't rely on them to be a major factor in your diet and you'll be good What's the problem with taking fish oil on an empty stomach? I usually take them on an empty stomach and don't eat for a good 5-6 hours afterwards... =\ it's so hard to find good information on supplements online | ||

The women that you see that are all bulky are either 1) on steroids or 2) their size isn't muscle, its fat. Women don't have enough testosterone to trigger large gains in muscle mass. Remember that a lot of strength gains have to do with not just the size of the muscle, but the efficiency of the energy processes as well as the ability of the CNS to send strong enough signals to get the full power out of your muscles (basically). Both men and women can get significantly stronger without any noticeable increase in muscle mass. I think a lot of us know this already but convincing the women in our lives that its actually true is another story! | ||

Failed at my benchpress today and caused a bit of a ruckus. It had a little to do with the lower back pain. It affected my squats and overall day at the gym today. My form was shite though. Well at least on the way up (everything else was good). The bar wasn't moving smoothly up and down, and I was putting more force in one arm then the other. In my last few reps, it FELT like I could make it but half way up my arms sort of just gave way and the barbell fell on my chest. Legs comically flew in the air and the weights on each end slid off. I hate benchpresses. | ||

I'm kind of curious what your beef looks like, because I've never heard of a beef cut that's 80% fat. Usually it's no higher than 30%, and that's really on the high side. | ||

Re: bench Use clamps on the ends, and get a spot... that sounded pretty dangerous and could have ended badly. I do something like the downward facing dog before I go to bed. That's the p90x "yoga x" in me doing that. I'll try that bridge pose. I never use clamps at the ends exactly for safety reasons, so if my set does dail I don't get stuck under weights I can't lift off my chest. I think I do need a spotter though and I need to reset/progress a lot more slowly. | ||

I think I'm going to need to ask random kids to spot now starting at 185x3x5... also will probably need to buy some ~1 pound weights to microload that after I need to reset. | ||

I've heard that these fit well on olympic barbells and are .625 pounds each (so 4 will be 2.5 lbs, which are usually available). I bought 6, but haven't had the chance to try them out. It was $16 shipped for me. I ask people to spot for me on my last work set, and I don't think they mind too much, it takes like 30 seconds. | ||

I always get someone to spot for me (just anyone walking by) if I'm alone. | ||

If you eat them on an empty stomach especially when hungry your body is going to start to process them as energy for its cells instead of as where they'll typically be used for the anti-inflammatory processes you want. Basically, it's like the fact if you don't eat enough and your body starts to use the protein in your diet for energy purposes instead of incoporating it into your muscles if you're trying to bulk.

ETA: Is there any danger of my aggravating anything by trying out all the exercises? I still am not sure why my back hurts. My tail bone hurts and it hurts around it but it's not persistent. Only when I bend a certain way does it hurt. It's like a light pulsing pain, doesn't radiate to my legs. I think it might just be strained muscles because the pain dims as the days pass by. However, I first started feeling pain in my lower back during a squat a few days ago. And those were shooting, stabbing pains as I was finishing the last set (Though I was able to finish it with good form). | ||
