As Ive understood it, there is pretty good support from science for the view that a high protein take has positivt effect on muscle growth. Not because all the amino acids are actually used to build muscle, but because of hormone responses or something like that, dont remember exactly.

I also never used them, so I dont know. I did hear good things about powerblock though, so personally I would rather go for those. Also, the bowflex dumbbells only goes to 52.5lbs, thats not much. To me they also seem expensive, I think a set of standard adjustable dumbbells would be more worht it. But all this is just my personal opinions of course .

I agree, Id say that anyone empathizing with this suffers from complete lack of empathy, and thats a big problem .

Hmm, good point . Oh, sounds like a valuable tip, thanks .

Actually there isnt even a point in comparing them . I mean slipknot is a pretty good band, but slayer is slayer .

NY dolls have a new album ? But Johnny Thunders died 15 years ago or something . Anyway I guess the new album might be worth checking out, even if I dont have any high expectation. And of course if Iggy is on it it makes it extra interesting. Stooges is pretty good gym music by the way. Or wait, thats not really correct, Stooges is great music for any occasion . Oh, you know you love wearing it Keep it quiet, thats a secret

Slayer. Not more vegan or woman friendly, but angrier louder and faster . Myself I usually dont listen to music while I workout, sometimes I listen to something before going to the gym. In principle I think any good music gets me in the mood for training.

'Travelin' man'? Like the song recorded by Ann Arbors 'The Iguanas', mostly known for featuring a young Iggy Pop? Sweet . I dont think it would work without a pro-vegan production team making the show, and I sort of doubt that will ever happen. I think there has been lots of shows like this featurig vegans, like the one kadett8 was in . Not sure about that, but at least I dont think they would manage to make him look small . Yes there is, and yes, like all swedes (except me) do all the time, the contestants in it wear blonde-braid wigs .

Hmm, problem is that if they had a vegan in the show they would probably make him look whacky and/or hypocritical with some creative cutting no matter how well he behaved. Allthough Im sure Ryans size would be quite enough to make a good impression of veganism .

I do them with kettlebells occasionally, but my technique is crap so it really beats up my forearms . Its good stuff though .

One legged standing calf raises. You can also do seated calf raises with a barbell on your knees.

I agree. If it doesnt feel 100% stop imideately.

You can rest assured that I havent forgotten about you . Oh, I meant that in a good way, who wouldnt want to look like such a beautifull bird ?

Im also not very good friend with the deadlifts since hurting my back with them. They just dont feel right anymore. Im thinking of starting doing some clean style deadlifts to see if they feel more comfortable, I have a feeling they might. If nothing else they should have a better carryover to cleans . And of course I second what jono said about starting light and working your way up .

Oh, Im afraid you did . Ive met the following in person: Buzz Crystal Daywalker GenTDuke Jay Jonathan K-oz kadett8 MichealHobson Runner Tarz Topher I thought very hard for this, so it would be embarrasing if I had forgotten someone Ive met .

If you read the thread you will find that the only thing questioned here is their sexism.

Hehe, those are funny .

Hmm, I allways just cooked them after just rinsing them a a bit in cold water and I never had any problem with the taste.

You are implying that conservatives are inherently sexist, which is blatantly not true. No, Im not implying that. I didnt mean that PETA should try to piss off conservatives as much as possible, only that progressive political ideas are quite likely to piss off conservatives, so it might be hard to avoid. I also think that in general it's likely worse if they are pissing off radical people, because then they are more likely to be doing something wrong, for instance being sexistic. The best thing would of course be if they could present their animal rights message without pissing off anyone, but that is not an easy thing.

However in this context I think the second definition is the one referred to: 2: to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage These links might give you a rough idea what we are talking about: http://www.mediaandwomen.org/problem.html http://www.medialit.org/reading_room/article40.html http://www.csuohio.edu/clevelandstater/Archives/Vol%206/Issue%2010/news/news5.html http://www.media-awareness.ca/english/issues/stereotyping/women_and_girls/women_sex.cfm And you wouldnt have known the name and visited the website if they didnt have pictures of naked women?

Well, since this doesnt really fit with the definition of the word (the definition I found on dicitonary.com that is), please explain what it would mean to exploit one self? Well, thats pretty good then . But I like working out and I like lipstick sometimes Guess I didnt word that very carefully. I dont see anything wrong with people training and using makeup if they feel like it, freedom of choice is good most of the time. It does get problematic though when people feel they have to do it, not because they like it but because they need to 'fit in', ie when the standards of the society in some ways limits peoples choices. Of course this is not only limited to looks related things, but relates to a lot of things in life. I dont think so either, and I didnt write that. What I meant was that even if its not exploitation, it can still be problematic. Yes, thats pretty much it.

Yes, you have a different perspective on thing. The problem is that the more women are displayed as sexual objects in advertisements etc, the more women are seen primarily as sexual objects in other contexts as well. This will affect most or all women, not only the ones that are actually in the comercials, so one can definitely discuss the willfullness of it. Well... ( from dictionary.com) Exploitation 1. The act of employing to the greatest possible advantage: exploitation of copper deposits. 2. Utilization of another person or group for selfish purposes: exploitation of unwary consumers. 3. An advertising or a publicity program. I think in these contexts the second meaning is the one referred to, and using someone for selfish purposes is not a good thing, no? Nope, see above, 'Utilization of another person or group' ie you cant exploit yourself. But I agree that it is problematic that women and men feel they have to put on makeup, do training etc, for no other purpose than to make themselves look good. The problem is that to some people they rather make veganism seem shallow and stupid. I dont see pissing of conservatives as a problem, being pissed off by any progressive ideas is what makes them conservatives . I think it is far worse that they piss off radical, antisexist people. It also seems PETA is pretty bad at giving meaningfull answers to this kind of critisism. I would like to think they have some analysis of what they are doing, but they seem unwilling to share what exactly they think regarding the sexism .

How about back extensions and deadlifts ? What exercises are you doing now?

So you agree with Jay that PETA should stop using objectifying images of women (and men) to promote AR? Glad to hear. I certainly agree with Jay .

I agree with wannalift, lower reps are probably more effective for building strength, I suppose volume is not your main goal? I dont think you should do 3 different exercise per bodypart, I would rather do only one and increase the sets. Thats mainly personal preference, but I find it a lot easier to get into the exercise with more sets. Since you also train quite a bit of MA it could possibly be a good idea to keep the volume low and do heavy compound stuff only, maybe on a 2- or 3-split, or even full body.
