For any regular runner, uphill running requires mental strength, which can also slow some runners down. To improve speed, prevent injury and soreness, downhill running can help you to become a much more efficient runner. Perhaps some runners believe that uphill running is the way to improve on speed and stamina, but the stress to the joints may cause an injury if the correct posture is not sustained. Both uphill and downhill running performed together, or on alternate days, will help to improve leg speed, prevent muscle soreness, and help to prevent injury. Running can cause muscle soreness, especially if…

best way to describe Aaron McKie is “Eric Snow wannabe.” (Yeah, he wasn’t even good enough to NOT be good enough to be on the floor with AI but he was their only option.) Tyrone Hill, George Lynch, Matt Geiger, Rodney Buford, Jumaine Jones (yes, I spelled it right!), Todd MacCulloch, Kevin Ollie, Roshown McLeod, Raja Bell (yes, before Mike D’Antoni got a hold of him and made him look better than he really was.) AND, Anthony Miller. This was the garbage that Iverson had to carry around for an entire season. He averaged 31 points a game that season…

As As the UFC heads to Manchester, England for the first time in over two and a half years this Saturday, the organization will attempt to showcase their British fighters in front of their hometown fans. All of the main card fights, except for the main event, feature British fighters (although James Wilks currently resides in California) in matchups with North American opponents. With two fights that may have title implications, the card is one of the strongest the UFC has had outside of the U.S. Time for a preview of the five main card fights. Ross Pearson vs. Aaron…

Just one month ago Brock Lesnar was scheduled to square off against Shane Carwin. If you’ve seen the latest commercials from the UFC, you would have never known it.  Instead the promo would lead you to believe the world has been pining to see the Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin rematch.  We really haven’t, but watching the way the piece is put together I’ll drink the kool aid and act like I have. That commercial alone is the reason why the UFC will always be the premiere world extreme fighting organization for decades to come. I’ll admit I’ve flipped flopped…

UFC 105 will be the eighth extreme fighting event held in the United Kingdom. UK fans have been clamoring for a star-studded event, and they’ve had a point. Most fight events the UFC holds overseas have been weaker shows without a ton of star power. Sure, several UK fighters would be showcased, but they want to see the very best the UFC had to offer. Ask and ye shall receive as none other than the legendary Randy Couture will be headlining the main event in a light heavyweight bout against Brandon Vera. Kicking off the main card will be both…

Just to add to the Basketball mayhem a little:  I’m watching the Friday Night Hawks Celtics game and we’re about halfway done with the 3rd Quarter and the Hawks keep answering the Celts.  More than that, the Celts look like old men again.  I just watched the following confluence of events: The Celtics run a pick for Paul Pierce who barely makes it around and scores (while this is all happening KG is standing at the top of the key and not moving.  He’s just standing there.  He can’t move!!!!  Like, he doesn’t have the cartilage to move around anymore. …

Making your own cleaning products is easier than going to the grocery store and spending your hard earned cash on chemical formulated cleaners. Being a bodybuilder you need to keep your lifestyle as chemical-free as possible. Making your own cleaning products requires very little natural ingredients that you might find in your kitchen. All-purpose cleaner to have on hand for your house cleaning is ideal. To make an all-purpose cleaner that is soft on your counter tops, tiles and floors, you mix into ½ gallon of water ½ cup of vinegar and 3T of baking soda.  You can use a…

Randy Couture may very well be the most popular mixed martial artist of all time.  Don’t let his career 16-10 record fool you, he’s been in a UFC record 15 title fights.  He’s a 5 time champion, three at heavyweight and two at light heavyweight and is already a UFC hall of famer.  At the ripe old age of 43, Couture came out of retirement to defeat Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight title in front of one of the loudest crowds of all time in Columbus, Ohio. Fans were amazed at Couture’s durability.  Most fighters are thinking of retiring well…

Randy Couture (-103, 5Dimes) vs Brandon Vera (-105, Bodog) For the first time since retiring from the ring after his loss to Chuck Liddell in 2006, Randy Couture is venturing back into the light heavy weight division after back-to-back losses at heavy weight.  And he is being welcomed back to the division by Brandon Vera, the man once believed to be the future of the heavyweight division.  It is a very ironic world we live in. Even though Couture has been dealing with questions about his age since he started fighting, it is really starting to become an issue now. …

People who constantly diet to lose the extra weight usually go back to “normal” after the diet. They gain all the weight back that they had lost.  However, a high alkaline diet, as opposed to acidic diet, keeps the weight off for good because it’s a diet that gradually makes your body healthier.  Healthy bodies are neither overweight nor underweight, so weight problems with bodies that are healthy are non-existent. High alkaline diets are fantastic for bodybuilders.  Here is a guideline to help you work towards a high alkaline diet and a healthy body. First of all, it’s very important…
