    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs For Friday Feb 1

    Hi guys! I don't really post here as you all know but I wanted to chime in for Randi.... I do take my supplements during my break. What I do is first thing in the morning, I drink whey protein with L-Glutamine and L-Carnitine. It hasn't hurt me. I would keep going with what you've been doing...

    Protein powder ok for kids?

    Hi, I really, really do not recommend protein powder for toddlers. If it's 100% natural whey protein without any BCAAs and all, then that should be fine but if it has BCAAs, additives, etc for muscle growth, fat burning (95% powders have this) I really, really would not give it to him. My son...

    Overtraining and getting sick

    Hi, He could be overtraining but what I am more concerned about is he's lifting for 2 hours a day. That's definitely no good for men. If the man lift for more than 45 min, their testastrone level drop significally and they won't be able to gain muscle mass. What I personally suggest is for...

    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Monday Nov 5

    Hi, I just wanted to chime in about white potatoes. It's not as bad as people have previously thought. It has just has much nutrients and fiber as sweet potatoes. Only problem is it has a lot of starch. I eat white potatoes every other week and I don't have any problem. I just can't stomach...

    Question for vegetarian/vegan pet owners

    I'm not trying to start a controversy either but like both you and Shannon said, why mess with what's natural for them? What is the difference between you giving your dogs raw meat and wild animals killing herbivores for meals? I feel for cows and chickens but I also feel we all need protein...

    1408 The Movie

    I watched The Descent last night after reading this thread....I must say I wasn't scared at all. That creature reminded me of Gary Oldman from Bram Stoker's Dracula. I agree with the poster above about The Ring. Scared the crap out of me and I couldn't sleep for 2 weeks. I still get a...

    "10 Exercises that Suck...

    RE: Shoulder Presses/Cleans I'm a trainer also and I hardly make my clients do kickbacks. I personally don't think tricep kickbacks work very well with a dumbbell. If you try it with a free motion machine at a gym or even the B band, it works much better than a dumbbell. When I train clients, I...

    Carbs can cause Cancer???

    I personally belive simple carbs CAN cause cancer. Most of these things are man-made. High Fructose Corn Syrup comes to mind. I think anything you eat that's not naturally made CAN cause cancer. Some people eat nothing but processed crap and they're very healthy. Depends on your body IMO. It's...

    can you overlift?

    The best way to get more info. about doing weight training/cardio for more than 45 min. is to talk to a CSCS certified trainers. They're very knowledgeable. Craig Ballantyne and Alwyn Cosgrove comes to mind. You can go on their websites to get info. Ballantyne's website is...

    can you overlift?

    For men, 45 min. is the limit for weight training because their testastrone level drops significally. The reason why they want you to do cardio after weight training because cardio burns glycogen. Weight training doesn't really do that all that much. It depends on the person. If it works better...

    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Wed Sept 19

    Did 2 mile trail running plus "running" hill climbs. Could barely walk to my truck as my legs and glutes were brutally tortured. LOL Wasn't easy pushing my 3 yrs old around in the jogging stroller on the trail. Pushing him up those hills is like pushing up 100 pounds. Will do some biking later...

    Well, the new dog has been a disaster.

    Carola said it all PERFECTLY. I've had dogs ALL my life and have seen it all. Believe me, it will get better as time goes on. Rarely, dogs will really hate each other. You have two different sex so that helps a lot. I'd give it another week if I were you. Thanks for writing this, Carola...

    Hardcore Fitness Maniacs for Wed 8-22

    Hey Suz, Here's a VERY small article I'm going to type out word for word for all of you.... :-) For those with exercise-induced asthma, treatment could be an orange. "Exercise causes drying and cooling of the airways," says Sandy Tecklenburg, doctoral canditate at Indiana U. And for...

    Pitbulls Mauled a Woman in her bed

    Here's an article. I'm pretty sure their main "prey" was the poor Jack Russell terror. What is wrong with people? (this post is not meant to start an argument. I just have never heard of a strange dog breaking into someone's home at night to attack) GIG HARBOR, Wash. (Aug. 22) - Two pit...

    For Hemp Eaters

    Thank you! I appreciate it. I will see if they have Nutiva in my store. The taste is not BAD, just taking a bit of time getting used to. It is very filling though. Kathryn, I bought some vanilla hemp milk the same day I bought the bagels. I really like the milk. Makes my protein shake more...

    For Hemp Eaters

    Hi, I bought some bagels by French Meadow with mostly hemp in it. Forgot what it's called. Is hemp supposed to smell bad? Whenever I toast it, it comes out smelling kind of fishy. The taste is pretty decent. Not my favorite taste but good enough to eat if I ignore the flavor a bit. LOL What...

    Pit bull attacked

    I read in the news today a horse was struck in the head by a tobacco machete. LUCKILY it did not hit her brain or any of her nerves. She's making a full recovery as well. I don't get why people do these things. I have a pit bull myself and she's a total sweetheart. Only barked ONCE but...

    ZT27 (Lisa)

    RE: ZT27 Lisa I'm very glad Lorie (I hope that's the right name) forgave me. I really do apologize for my immaturity the other day. As a lot of women here are, I'm extremely opinionated and if the mood strikes, I blow up. Thankfully it only happens once a year. :-) Also, I don't mind Carola...
