The Great College Kid Debate: Alcohol vs [email protected][email protected]@
A little off topic than most questions here, but a physiological topic nonetheless. Now this topic has been debated for quite some time, and the government has taken the side of alcohol being less dangerous. Most kids, however, take the side of [email protected][email protected]@, saying weed is not as dangerous as alcohol. ...

Heh, I look forward to doing it every time because I can see the results. I guess there is some physiological factor that plays into this. I remember a thread a while ago that talked about full body workouts and why doing workouts on consecutive days isn't the most optimal. For instance, doing chest...

Running patterns. Every day or every other day?
I am lucky to have a flexible summer schedule. So now, I have the ability go running on any given weekday. I also play ultimate frisbee on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. What would be a better plan? To do HIIT on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday to "stack up" on those running days? Or should I do HIIT ...

Got curious and did a search on the effects of high protein diets on the liver. http://www.sportsnutritionsociety.org/site/pdf/Manninen%20SNRJ%201-1-45-51-2004.pdf Good article. It goes to show that a lot of research is flawed and a keen eye for detail is necessary to make any assumption. However, ...

I have found visualization works wonders. But not the typical "oh I just thought about it." I'm talking about REALLY visualizing the scene. Take in all five senses when you are visualizing yourself making the throw. Smell the air, have the touch of the ball in your hand, see yourself making the perf...

Pain is not an indicator of growth. If you are not sore or don't feel pain in an area after a workout, that doesn't mean the workout is not doing anything. It just means your body was able to adapt to the change and take the work in stride. That is a GOOD thing. You don't always want to be in pain a...

I know a lot of tennis players have this problem. Where their entire forearm is just filled with veins sticking out like crazy, even when they are just letting them hang on their sides. I dunno what to say though. There's no real way to "prevent" your bloodflow, so your veins will always be there. I...

I'm not exactly sure if it is my forearm. Sorry for the misleading title. Let me put it this way. Put your elbow on the table, with the fleshy side of your palm on the table (pinky finger is closest to the table). The part that is giving me pain is the area that is a spot on your arm that is touchin...

By "no discomfort," do you mean absolutely no pain at all? Or no pain during running? My knee has improved a lot and I can walk and jog without feeling much of anything. But, if I get in a squat position, I can still it being sore. In addition, if I apply pressure with my fingertips around certain a...

I'd much rather increase the resistance than just keep endlessly adding reps. Also, this program doesn't include any form of seated calf raise for the soleus. It's not really feasible because this is a bodyweight-only program. Maybe you could find stairs with a low ceiling and push on it for more r...

Calf riase program
What do you think of this calf program?
http://www.angelfire.com/anime/dbajoin/ ... ertsh.html
It's not written well, but you get the general idea of it. As a bodyweight calf program, is it worth it to do it?

Forearm pain
In my forearm, I've had this lingering pain for almost a month now. It kind fo feels like a soreness pain, but a bit more painful than it should be. What worries me is that it hasn't recovered by now. Is it possible that there might be a slight stress fracture or anything like that? What can I do ab...
