Juicing vegetables saves time in that you don’t have to spend the bulk of your time chewing all those vegetables to get the nutrients you need. You just simply drink them down in a matter of minutes. Vegetable juice makes it easier for your body to absorb all the available nutrients of the vegetables, a process that practically pre-digests the vegetables. The nutrients of the vegetables go into your body not down the toilet compared to chewing your vegetables. Vegetable juice is very perishable, and it’s best that you drink the juice right after juicing your vegetables. The longer you…

Well, I run off to work today and in the quagmire that is my day job I didn’t hear about Charlie Weis getting fired immediately.  However, I did get in the car and hear about it within 5 seconds of having the radio on sports talk (I listen to 790 down here…mainly because they aren’t homers, although they do have “Chuck and Chernoff” on 680, but the rest of the station just isn’t very good.)  Anyways, so I started thinking about the firing and what that really means.  I know I’ve talked about this but I think we need to…

There are three extremely useful lifts, which can help to build explosive strength – barbell dead lift, barbell bench press, and the barbell squat. To build muscle and strength, these three moves can build muscle mass all over. Power lifters focus on one rep max during competitions. They win through a total combination of the weight lifted rather than reps performed with a heavy weight. With any weight training, the more weight that is lifted or squatted, the more muscle mass can be attained. Power lifting can also shorten a workout greatly. All three exercises – bench press, dead lift,…

In the spirit of the holidays, I thought I would sit down and ponder what I am thankful for in the world of mixed martial arts, and there is certainly a bounty of things to be grateful for. -I’m thankful that Fedor fought for free on CBS. -I’m thankful for the superfight with GSP and BJ Penn last February. -I’m thankful for Gina Carano. -I’m thankful for the sheer volume of amazing MMA cards that Strikeforce, UFC and WEC put out week after week. This sport never ceases to amaze me. -I’m thankful for the mainstream media attention for UFC…

I’m sure you have all heard of a little something called the Body Mass Index (BMI)? The BMI is a simple system of measurement meant to calculate a person’s body fat based on their height-to-weight ratio.  Where it seems to be somewhat flawed is that it takes into account all of a person’s lean mass (blood, bone, muscle, organs, etc.). For example: Kimbo Slice (a mixed-martial arts fighter) is 6′2 and weighs over 230 pounds. His BMI score would then be 29.5. The problem is that according to the BMI Chart, Kimbo would then be considered “obese” and if you…

Not everyone wants to be huge and muscular, and look like ‘beefcakes’. Here’s some reasons as to why: The Ladies. According to a variety of surveys, the majority of women do not find huge, bulky guys attractive. And, I know for a lot of you, they’re the reason why you even bother to work out. Finding clothes that fit. As a short-but-muscular guy myself, I find it hard to get clothes that actually fit. And clothes cost money. It’s not so good for your wallet. Sports. A lot of sports have weight boundaries, such as boxing. And others would just…

The Red Sox are “putting on a full-court press” to acquire Roy Halladay, according to a source, and are hoping to add the former Cy Young winner to the top of their rotation to go with Josh Beckett and Jon Lester. “They would love to get it wrapped up before the winter meetings (beginning Dec. 7),” the source said of the Red Sox, who made a big push to deal for Halladay last summer. The article goes on to speculate that Boston would probably have to give up Clay Buchholz along with minor leaguer pitcher/shortstop, Casey Kelley. I absolutely love…

The right form of training can be exciting to the mind and push the body past its ‘comfort zone’ to develop endurance. Many people agree that whatever training is carried out; there is no way to improve on speed. Fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers have their importance when focusing the body and mind on an increase in endurance. People with a higher proportion of high twitch muscle fibers are able to define their training to match their sport, such as sprinting. Many people are already born with a balanced number of slow twitch and fast twitching muscle fibers.…

As college football’s regular season draws to an end, we have yet to see anyone separate themselves from the rest of the pack and become the clear frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. Just like the six undefeated teams packed closely atop the BCS Rankings, there are six players all very much in the discussion for who will win college football’s most prestigious award. In no particular order, here are the six Heisman hopefuls with a realistic chance of winning the award. 1. Tim Tebow, QB, University of Florida: There has been quite a bit of discussion recently as to where Tebow would…
