I obviously can't confirm or deny the effects of Vit D without further testing in winter. But I reckon eshlow's onto something here. | ||

Vitamin supplements help me alot from becoming sick (knock on wood). And when I get sick I feel the same mild symptoms you describe. | ||

It's an anti-oxidant right? You might also wanna try Carnosine and Taurine as far as anti-oxidants go | ||

Yeah, that's why wrote this up: http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/10/a-closer-look-at-vitamin-d/ Vitamin D upregulates T-lymphocytes and various anti-microbial peptides such as cathelicidin and defensins.

Nope. In general, anti-oxidants will help recovery from endurance exercises. However, instead of allowing your body to adapt, they will blunt the recovery inflammation etc. So if you want to actually improve performance you should just let your body heal normally. Just search pubmed for anti-oxidants and endurance/workouts etc. and you'll see there's some blunting effect of adaptations. I think there was some recent news pieces on this too. | ||

Is there any other exercise better to replace the power clean? Something that's not on a machine. Try pendlay rows or do assisted or negative pullups if you must. Teaching yourself the powerclean isn't that hard. Inverted rows would also be fine. Do any "light" pulling movement. | ||

Even without that part, you heavily use your shoulders and overall core/legs just getting the bar to shoulder-height.

It's mostly about exploding with your hips and that explosive shrug. I'm not sure what the purpose of high pulls since I never done it before. If you video tape your form, I can see whats wrong. I don't have that great of an eye, but maybe eshlow can see. | ||

You don't get adequate amount of Vitamin D in winter due to complete lack of exposure, you need almost full body. Which in Australia we get plenty of during the summer, although even that is reduced due to sunscreen. In winter you're almost always covered up, not to mention a real lack of sun. Check this out mate if you don't have time to read eshlow's article. | ||

I'm at around 250lb squat but I can't even run 10 minutes on the treadmill. I'm unhealthy as crap at the moment and I'm no liking myself. I haven't gained or lost any actual weight in terms of numbers but I believe I have lost some muscle and gained some fat. I can only see the top row of my abs. This is shit, it's going to take at least 6-8 weeks to get it back, and the worst part is I have little to no motivation to actually go for it. I have a trip to Nepal in 7 weeks, but I just figured I'll do some cycling and running a couple of weeks before hand. Where has my motivation gone ;(. | ||
