You can't lose weight without a calorie deficit, so offering a diet "tip" to exchange something for a higher calorie option is dumb. You have to use a LOT less cream or half and half to equal the calories used in skim milk.

Heard of de novo lipogenesis? Probobly not...

What are those reasons exactly?

For the most part, if a diet has a name then it's probably no good. I think the only notable exception is the Atkins diet. It's really just a low carb diet that Dr Atkins labeled for himself. Anything that has emphasis on certain macronutrients, as opposed to other bs like eat lots of xyz, is probably ok.

Dr. Stacy Sims (Osmo Nutrition) has done some awesome research on hydration and really knows what she's talking about. Thermal imaging and everything. By looking at her product it seems to also be of better quality. I haven't used Nuun, but it has a lot of citric acid. If that is buffered out by the bicarbonate then…

Not at Starbucks, all the same price. Everyone gets the same plan coverage options, even the managers.
This is for anyone who works over 20 hours. If you don't work that much, you don't get benefits at all.

I would HIGHLY encourage you to put a safety disclaimer on this... that if you want to test the bounds of your food that is refrigerated you really need to make sure the temps are good in your fridge. Use a calibrated thermometer, go digital, or get a fridge thermometer that will pretty much last forever, unless you…

This may be true, but the best storage is the freezer. Take the stems off, put in a ziplock, and freeze. You'll know its the best method of storage after trying it. The leaves don't harden to the point of leaving an unpleasant mouthfeel like they do when dried (think basil in a pasta sauce. The dried stuff always has…

Bret Contreras has his PhD in sports science. Here's an article he did with EMG results for the pecs. This is to hit the point of "there are better exercises" https://www.t-nation.com/training/insid…

Having said "no progress" I'm referring to the long run. Sure you may get development, but it will be sub par and it…

Lol

The flat bench press is far from the best pec developer... By a long shot. You're better off with dumbbell variations, incline work and even a good machine or 2 (gasp!).

It loads the forearms if you squeeze the bar, and the quads if you get leg drive, but those aren't going to be really stimulated enough to grow from the bench. My point is, there are better exercise for hypertrophy. If a client wants pec development and relies on the bench they will likely have issues. Just because is…

If that's your thing, sure (They got Arnold where he is, he's not doing bad by any means. I could make the list go on, and on...). Steroids don't fix improper form. In fact, the massive growth in strength from AAS will usually lead to injury from undeveloped connective tissue, especially if you have bad technique.

Go…

Mike O'Hearn claims to be natural and is bigger than former pro bodybuilders (like Arnold, who openly admitted using drugs). I'd suggest avoiding his work out of principle. I don't like liars and don't recommend them. His physique is probably enhanced with other things besides AAS anyway.

Greg has a ton of great info, and I generally agree with his work (and recommend it to clients) but this is just one situation where other high level trainers/coaches (who deal with raw lifters) disagree with him. As someone who worked with a lot of clients with AC joint issues I'm inclined to avoid flaring so…

Not sure what you mean by disagree. There may be conflicting info from different contributors on the site, but the vast majority will agree with me.

They're not arbitrary if they cause issues. How many overhead athletes do you work with?

The structure of the AC joint is meant to work great if you know how to hold your position. Most people don't. Most are sedentary, have horrible tight internal rotators and very weak external rotators. Those people (read as most ppl) run into issues. This is the same issue for baseball players. No matter how hard they…

The bench press IS NOT a good chest builder, and in trying to use it as a good chest exercise you are going to both hurt yourself and make no progress. Lifting the elbows to 90 degrees (to target the chest) creates too much internal rotation at the acromion process and will allow the humerus to slide around in the…

I've got to say, those bs studies stats on regaining weight piss me off. Let's go ahead and make excuses. Everyone is fat and everyone who ever tried to lose some gained it all back.

Stop walking like you're on hot coals. So many people do necessary things each and every day. They are highly functional where they…

I had a bad run with a zpak a while ago and antibiotics helped me tremendously. For those who didn't have a great effect or those who didn't get an effect fast enough I'll offer some help.

Go to the baking aisle and find the ultra-pasteurized milk, it's in a box that's not refrigerated (I've only ever seen hershey…

could you elaborate more? I was considering this phone or later models whenever my current one dies... Thanks
