So if I understand the author, THC has now been rescheduled so it can legally be used in medication. And the author is outraged because that means Big Pharma is in control of production instead of street level entrepreneurs. But isn't that a form of legalization and an endorsement for the...

I hear that. When your grocery shopping consists of circling the outside walls and avoiding the middle aisles, checkout always brings a cringe. Funny (ironic) that we are one of the few places on Earth where our poor have obesity issues. And we have a generation of kids growing up that have no...

I'm not sure they want you to believe it's "healthy" if you're using your definition of healthy. Healthy is one of those words that needs context. If you're on the cast of Survivor, it would be damn healthy. If you're comparing it to another menu item with a similar calorie content, the...

Not feeling the moral outrage for some reason. McDonald's sells "tastes good" to people, not "good for you", because that's what their customers want. You can rest assured that this product was tweaked and market tested to conform to the common denominator's tastes. And that CD puts sugar and...

i can see how IV injection gets the vitamin into your bloodstream quicker, but how does that really help? don't the kidneys, etc. filter excess, unused water soluable vitamins from your bloodstream as well? i would think the key to maximizing uptake of water soluable vitamins would be to keep...

True, most people can do much better in terms of time/distance/speed measures on a treadmill as compared to outside running. But comeone, treadmills don't work? Any cardio works. Some may burn more calories than others over the same period of time, but they all work better than nothing.

if my GF is laying on top of me, push-ups are the last thing on my mind. ;)

i'm just not sure why you would wwant to add mass in your abs. some definition, sure. but mass?

not sure how long you have been lifting but I have heard that muscle fiber will grow faster than connective tissue like ligaments when you first start lifting. any chance you are new to lifting or have had sudden, recent muscle gains that may be straining some ligaments? if so, it may just...

I agree that "real" running is probably going to surpass in calorie burn all of the stationary, machine-based exercises but if you are going for a stationary, machine-based workout, I would choose an elliptical machine over a bike, treadmill or stairclimber every day. I have a difficult time...

my thoughts too. let's take one of the most important evolutionary developments/creationary advantages...the opposable thumb...and say "naw, that's alright." :bulb:

YouTube - Bench Press Accident here it is. :nail:

not to one up that video, but there is an even sicker one out there... it's a lot of weight this guys drops and you can see the bar drop through his thorax and just SIT THERE with his legs flopping...gruesome!

Damn, DOMS! your avatar(?) is freakin' hypnotic. i just realized i've been staring at it for 43 minutes. :D

I am 5'11" and currently 240# (down from 300# at Christmas '06). I have a medium to medium heavy bone structure. Have always had thick/strong legs without trying but i have an ACL recon on my left knee and my left leg around the knee is weaker and skinnier as a result. Goals: 1) Lose body fat...
