Vary your intensities when you run. Some high intensity or sprint training will help with speed and actually improve your lung capacity for distance running too. Just don't do any high intensity training the day before games. Long, low pace runs the days before games and high intensity days the day after games. Your legs will be sore trying to do both but that might help minimize that.

Success. Captain obvious here, but taking one of the next two would be super.

I miss Provus.

Is this during your cut? Heavy lifting is the last thing you should remove...Keep lifting heavy so your body has a need to keep the muscle. You want to lose fat, not weight.

No disdain, just pointing out that you can be perfectly healthy while eating meat. Like I said in my first post on the topic, if it's out of personal preference, then cool. But the idea that meat is anywhere in the top 10 reasons of people being unhealthy or nutrient deficient is untrue. Out of curiosity, if you don't mind, how many grams of protein are you getting regularly? What are some of your main sources?

People would be amazed how "healthy" they would be if they'd just eat a balanced diet of the appropriate amount of calories and exercise a little. Every concern in this thread regarding meat can be solved without the removal of meat and the protein it provides. Inadequate fiber and calcium? Broccoli and dairy. I don't know of one nutritionist that I respect that would advise against meat. ESPECIALLY in the context of weight loss, advising against meat is a fast track to muscle loss and metabolism destruction. That's my biggest issue with a no meat diet, how are you getting enough protein? I bet 98% of the people in this thread or reading it that have a goal of weight loss are not getting enough protein daily. And we should take away the easiest source of that? Yikes. I have nearly 30 clients and 100% of them came to me with inadequate protein intakes. Great points Louis. TLB, exercise would do more for your health than stressing over which red meat source.

If you prefer not to eat it for personal reasons, that's fine. But meat is not "unhealthy." This is classic magic pill stuff right here. Inhibiting the absorbtion of dietary fat? Not sure why you'd want to do that? Healthy fats are essential for heart and brain function, energy, fat loss, etc etc. The only magic pill is eating the right amount of macronutrients. Nothing personal Schlitz! Regarding hydroxycut or other thermogenic fat burners. Someone mentioned it a page back but the main benefit these are going to provide is energy, specifically pre work out. If you don't mind the price then great, but the main ingredient that works in most of them is the caffeine(coffee). As far as actual fat burning, the best ones boost your metabolic rate by 10% tops. Meaning you burn about an extra 200 calories a day. At that rate it would take almost 3 weeks to burn an extra pound. In other words, they don't do much for actual weight loss.

It's really not a big deal at all which of Marcum, Wolf, or Narveson pitch 3rd.

Wow, is this true? I didn't know this. This makes Braun that much more believable. Absolutely. This plays right into why I was already believing Braun after his press conference. If this is true, it leaves zero doubt in my mind he's innocent. My line of thinking is one I don't see many people talking about. In my line of work I am familiar with testosterone and it's effect on the body and performance. What I've been saying all along is that he looks innocent just on the basis that this was a one time thing. Reason being is that testosterone has to be present for a long period of time- weeks, months- for it to have an effect on performance. Elevated testosterone make muscle and strength gaining easier, but it doesn't magically happen. You can't drink a red bull-esque testosterone drink and boom, Ryan Braun's bat speed. That said, in order for him to be guilty there are only two plausible scenarios. One is that he was taking it consistently but had a masking agent that the MLB didn't know about. Seems unlikely, because how/why did his masking agent suddenly fail if it had helped him pass tests in the past? He surely didn't forget to take it, especially if he was aware of testing around play off time. And again, if you believe he cheated you really have to believe he's been cheating his entire career. He hasn't changed much at all from the time he entered the league. His body size and more importantly stats have been pretty much the same since entering the league. The long winded point I'm trying to make is that a short term boost in testosterone means nothing. He'd have to be taking it long term for it to have an effect. Why on earth wouldn't he abort that going into the playoffs if there was something to it? It would only take 3-4 weeks to restore normal testosterone ratios and the Brewers knew long before October 1st that they would be present in the playoffs and pee tests were right around the corner. Let's look at the other option. Say I'm wrong and there is a drug out there that gives instant and short term spiked test levels. Do we really think Braun is dumb enough to risk taking those if he's aware of playoff drug tests? I don't think this is realistic regardless. I can't imagine a PED that would short term elevate a guy's testosterone and make him better at baseball that day. Again, long term elevated testosterone would lead to strength gain. Short term would probably lead to more erections. Finally, if Braun was really on something that spiked his testosterone higher than the league has ever seen before, he'd simply be a bigger human being. With how hard he works there would be no avoiding extra muscle mass. Some say he gained 15-20 lbs going into last year, but I don't see any noticeable or abnormal changes to his body that would be a red flag at all. Braun's power comes from his god like core strength, not McGwire like forearms. Oh yeah, long term elevated test leads to hair loss. Moral of the story, Braun's cabbage is way too pretty for him to be a juicer.

I will train one Brewerfan.netter for half price my current(already reasonable) rates. Private message me.

Hhaha "e-standards." Nope, I think I've dated cuter girls, and see cuter girls around Milwaukee every weekend. Her body is great though, no denying that.

This is SCREAMING for the easy response. But I'm going to take the high road.... and let someone else say it... PLEASE speak your mind 20fry.

Her face isn't even that attractive to me.

just tickle it T ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
