Try doing 8 exexises to complete muscular failure in 20min and you  know what I mean. This kind of workout stimulates all 3 kinds of condition: muscular strengt, cardiovascular condition, metabolic condition. No amound of work can substitute intensity.

i think your workout is crap

no amount of intensity can substitute for volume.

is it a coincidence that both Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps exercise 5 hours a day ?

Geez...everybody's a critic.

Goals? I like to move, I like to work out, I like to sweat. I like to be physically available for whatever life has to offer, and thus far these sorts of workouts have served me well. Very well.

Not intense? You talking about that particular work-out above or all the workouts I've posted? To each his own, but I like doing 50-100 pull-ups & 200-1000 sit-ups & tabata stair sprints as well as biking & swimming across the lake. Intensity? Well, I suppose it depends on how you're using the term "intense".

i'm actually with you here Skinny.  the traditional train one muscle group a day and kill it up mentality i think is whack.  i am more inclined towards having two full-body workouts a day at a leisurely intensity.  i used to work out so hard in the gym people were waiting for me to break my back or something but that was foolish - that's not a way to build a foundation of health and fitness.

Has anyone had adverse reactions to raw eggs?

I have been consuming raw duck eggs (mainly just yolks) and lately i have been very VERY itchy mainly on my torso but also arms and legs.  Now i have red pinhole size dots on my torso

And i am breaking out, which i never do! 
So weird, all i can think of is the eggs?

I've also read that raw eggs can cause one to detox, is that true? 

thanks 

if u think its eggs why not stop and see if it goes away ?

well the radiation emergency iodine dose is one thousand times higher than normal suggested daily intake.  i don't think it matters what form of iodine you use just for your normal diet but when sh*t hits the fan with some nuclear reactor etc you will want potassium iodide.

Is there some reason you need to concern yourself with these more than other people?

What is it you refer to when you say you know you are wrong?

when i say i know i'm wrong i mean i know humans aren't supposed to eat whey protein.

medical conditions ?  i like to think that i don't have any although i do have borderline high blood pressure, some heart hypertrophy, possibly elevated kidney and liver values.  my pinky fingers get numb when i sleep - probably an issue of blood circulation.

also i get dizzy sometimes when i have a lot of caffeine and/or listen to very deep and loud bass on my stereo ( i have a 200 pound, 2400 watt 18" subwoofer ) so this may be physical damage to the vestibular apparatus from too much bass, or may also be an issue of blood pressure or both.  

but i don't have any conditions that my doctor would consider in need of treatment or even monitoring.  my blood sugar and cholesterol are normal.  although my cholesterol was off the charts bad when i was taking steroids.  all in all i did plenty of damage with steroids - most of these conditions are described are linked in one way or the other to that period of my life - but i don't do them any more.

Monday: weather was great around noon.  biked 20 miles without a shirt.  got very slightly sunburnt.

I tried lugol's solution last week. Seemed good, but I got tired on the last day. I'm going to try another cycle this week.

i think free form iodine in Lugol's solution is somewhat toxic versus potassium iodide in tablets ?

mercola has raw, grass-fed, high quality protein powder that tastes amazing, it's pretty expensive though

what kind of protein, whey ?  

my main protein now:

to my own surprise today i finally received my order of IOSAT pills.

YAY !

all these people (from bodybuilders to cross-fitters and yoga folks) just project their biases as to what is good, with very few of them having a complete closed argument as to what types of things can be beneficial or detrimental.

well sure.  and yet there seems to be a clear bias, the source of which is the limited capacity of the brain to think.  

it is much easier to understand what is involved in a retarded exercise like a curl than what is involved in an exercise like running.  

most people who run don't understand what they are doing - they just do it because somebody told them once its good to lose weight and when they tried it worked so they kept doing it ever since.

few people will spend hours pondering what is the most efficient way to build abs lets say and come to the conclusion that it is by sprinting or swimming butterfly ( whether that conclusion is correct or not is another question ).

so running or swimming may not be the best for everybody but there are very few people for whom bicep curls are the best who instead are engaged in running or swimming.  on the other hand there are many people for whom swimming or running would be best but they are instead engaged in curling because they are too stupid to know anything else.

its just that everybody knows you can get big biceps by doing curls and everybody knows you can lose weight by running.  but few people know that you can shape your entire physique by sprints.  most people have no idea at all that you can use sprints to train whether it is on the track or in the pool.  99% of people run and swim monotonously at a snail pace for 40 minutes and then go home.  

this is because they can't visualize how their muscle is being activated during a sprint the same way as they can visualize it when curling.  i couldn't understand it myself until i tried sprinting for the first time and immediately tore my hamstring.  i couldn't understand how after doing heavy deadlifts every week for a long time ( going to about 95% max weight on most workouts and never running into any serious injuries ) i could tear my hamstring "just" by running ?  thanks to that unfortunate incident now i understand - but 99% of people still have no clue.

ANYWAY THE SUN IS SHINING I GOTTA RUN OUT TO BIKE ...

by the way the reason i like swimming so much is the cold water seems to activate some sort of thermogenesis pathways which include shivering, but i think are not limited to it.  the cold also forces you to exercise to avoid freezing - your body is simply yelling at you i need to move!  this is the opposite of what happens when jogging where you overheat and the body starts to put on the brakes on your exercise ( by inducing a feeling of weakness and exhaustion ) to avoid further overheating.  you just end up burning much more fat in the pool and i attribute it mostly to cold water.

if you were to try to get the same benefit simply from exercising outdoors in winter or climbing mount everest or something you would end up freezing your fingers and ears off before your core temperature even started dropping.  what's great about water is it wicks a tremendous amount of heat from your body while at a temperature ( 80 degrees ) that poses no threat to your extremities.  in other words the water sucks heat MUCH more evenly from your surface.

because ultimately your ability to burn calories is limited by 3 factors:

1 - your ability to pump oxygen through your lungs
2 - your ability to circulate red blood cells from the lungs to the tissue burning calories
3 - your ability to dissipate the heat produced when those calories are metabolized

biking seems to be the best at meeting these 3 criteria overall because it addresses all 3.

1 - the way your torso is supported with the hands on the handlebars allows you to breathe much more freely than when jogging because you're not using shoulder belt muscles to stabilize yourself and therefore you are not putting extra pressure on your rib cage.

2 - with proper pedaling technique ( and proper pedals / shoes ) you are using i would say half of all your body's musculature ( all of legs, plus glutes ) and its a lot easier to push blood volume through that, than through a tiny muscle like a bicep.

3 - the high wind that you effectively create as you are riding at a speed can provide sufficient cooling in almost any weather.  you can feel cool on a cycle in the same weather in which jogging would feel hot.

which is why biking is my #1 exercise and swimming my #2

I'm not saying there is one paleo diet that is ideal, i'm saying that by definition a raw paleo diet includes flesh foods and is not a lacto-ovo diet filled with processed and dried food and heated sweeteners. Whether its high in flesh proteins or fats is individual. I do have my biases on that but that is an entirely different story.

You act as if your knowledge about which foods and routines work is based on what is working in the present, but in fact all of this stuff is built up from the past with likely far less than a single year doing what you are currently doing (in exercise OR diet) in terms of what yields results. It seems like you've lost both weight and strength in this period and are rationalizing that as to what is 'paleo'

it basically isn't even an issue of performance. Its mostly an issue of health first.

your diet = fungal mess within one year and is not conducive to long term health or ideal performance. Hardly any of these foods are even foods never-mind ones that remotely exist in nature. We know bodybuilders and strength trainers can have excellent results in the short term abusing all kinds of foods and dietary methods but this isn't the same as building health and muscle on a raw diet which has both challenges and advantages.

someone that is on a 100% or near raw diet, the body will actually start to break down old materials and slowly build them with new ones. You are not remotely involved in this process because you eat cooked and processed foods all day, so therefore when you suggest things like 90% swimming in a chlorinated pool, you don't understand that this wouldn't work for someone trying to build muscle or health eating a raw diet that doesn't have bodyfat or extra calories to spare. What you don't get about recommending carb binging on a ZC discussion, is the people probably were driven to a ZC diet based in some past abuse of fungally sugars and processed foods in the past.

interesting analysis KD, but what are these fungus you keep talking about ?  how am i eating that ?

generally very few bodybuilders make it to that age..specifically because of supplementation

you're playing with my head now lol.  the only bodybuilding supplement i use is protein.
