Alright, cool. So starting Monday, I'm moving the first three exercises of each workout to four sets of 6-8 reps, instead of 3 sets of 8-10 reps, allowing me to go a little bit heavier. Looking forward to it!

Yes, the stereotypical "pregnant craving" is ice cream and pickles...
definitely don't think they should give into that particular craving.
Well, the pickles are fine but definitely not the ice cream  :D

This new paragraph sounds much better, and more professional!  *thumbs up*

Have you tried the recommendations in the Beginner's Guide to RAFD or whatever it's called?
You know, like cooking your meat less and less over time to get used to it?

If you truly can't do raw meat, it's my belief that lightly cooked meat is better than no meat at all.

honestly, ridiculously overpriced with a lot of worthless/unnecessary ingredients at levels that are so low there's no point in their inclusion.

it really isn't that hard to get enough vitamins from food

Haha, I read your post about the monkey face and was able to see what you were seeing.

However, you must be quite an interesting person if that's what you saw right away. Not a bad thing at all, mind you. I've done things like that before

Health / Re: Heart Palpitations
« on: July 30, 2008, 07:06:38 am »
This is from Ted, a writer at www.earthclinic.com:

Apple cider vinegar (with appropriate buffers such as bicarbonate or baking soda) removes the body of lactic acid, which in excess kills the cells and causes heart problems.

Yes, yogurt causes heart palpitations because it has lactic acid. Lactic acid is peculiarly toxic to the cell's mitochrondria. Atheletes dread lactic acid buildup and wish one day they can rid of them. Well there is a remedy, it is the acetates (and can come from apple cider vinegar and the side effects are also reduced with citrates - from lemon and bicarbonates).

As a student when I studied biochemistry I would cringe at the idea of lactic acid. If I do a cell cultures, and use lactic acid as a pH to adjust to ideal biological conditions, the cell cultures would immediately die. This is a well known fact.

Since the heart is the source of constant energy, mitochrondrial health is extremely important. Lactic acid buildup intracellulary is dangerous, and this is why athletes have short lives - from long lactic acidosis causing muscular fatigue, thus heart attack is frequent.

In my opinion, magnesium acetate and potassium acetate are an ideal form, and this is found best whenever apple cider vinegar and baking soda is added. May I dare say that apple cider vinegar and baking soda is a food for the heart.

The other issue is the calcium buildup which causes the cells to function improperly. Usually a citrates, found in 8 teaspoons of lime juice (or lemon) plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda is taken reduces the serum calcium buildup which clogs the cells. This should also help.

The best detoxification of lactic acid is either sodium acetate, potassium acetate, magnesium acetate. These acetate forms are found whenever apple cider vinegar is taken, in any brand, and it is reacted with the body's bicarbonates to neutralize and convert to acetate. The cells use the acetate to rid the body of lactic acid. The problem about ridding the intracellular is half of the problem. The other is the body needs to neutralize the acid extracellularly also, which I think is best handled with baking soda and citrates (lemon juice). I remember that whenever a person has a heart attack, they use Harvey Teams (in hospitals) to inject a large syringe of baking soda. This is a quick remedy, but not a complete one. Acetates, magnesium, potassium, and bicarbonates is the preferred remedy to use, in my opinion anyway.

I recently have a friend who came to visit me one day and told me her heart had a terrible heart palpitations that she would nearly faint and breathing becomes a problem. I knew it was a simple electrolytic imbalance. After taking 1/16 teaspoon of potassium citrate, 1/16 sea salt, 1/16 teaspoon of magnesium chloride, and some sodium citrate, the conditions stopped within minutes and never came back.

People never realize that these electrolytes are the power cells that gives cells their electrical energy. In the olden days, they use salt with a cardboard in layers to create electricity (Alessandro Volta). If you have a multimeter, most salt solutions do have electricity. Usually it is about 1/2 volts, in case you are wondering. Just imagine what happens if the body's electrolytes are imbalance or lacking, the heart needs electrical energy for normal heart beat too."

I just wanted to report back that as of late, palpitations have not been a problem at all.
I resumed taking my daily drink of apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and cayenne pepper in the mornings and this has stopped the palpitations apparently. I stopped taking aforementioned drink at the advice of a fellow board-member, but I find that it is just too health-giving.

Wow, interesting.
Raw tuna is absolutely divine for me. Even the very first time, I find it to be absolutely delicious.
Canned tuna has a very powerful taste and smell, but raw tuna filets are very delicate.
What kind of tuna did you get?
The kind I've always gotten is wild yellowfin tuna (dark red in color)

Monday July 28

Well, pretty much every lift went up from last week, especially Leg press (my legs gain muscle and strength much faster than the rest of my body) so that is good news. Hopefully this continues, and with an ample amount of grass-fed fat and protein, I see no reason why it shouldn't!

Numbers in parentheses are from last week, for comparison (only first set)

1. Bench Press:                         125x10 (115x10)         125x7             115x6
2. Leg Press:                             380x9  (340x9)          380x9              380x8
3. Pulldown:                              120x10 (120x9)          120x8             120x5
4. Standing Dumbbell Press:          25x8   (20x12)           25x7               25x6
5. Pushdown:                             130x8  (130x7)          130x5             120x4
6. Preacher Curls                         70x9   (70x8)            70x6               70x2
7. Weighted Crunch:                     20x10 (20x10)          20x8

Anyone else seen this movie?
I just finished watching it and it is the best movie I've ever seen. Ever.
I highly recommend it.
