I was thinking, I have been asked my opinion a lot lately on how I feel about the raid on BB.com , and to be honest I am still not sure. I personally don’t spend anytime on that site, because it is really not my type of forum, not that it is bad or anything. It is just not my cup of tea. I do have to say though , it is a massive misuse of Law Enforcement resources, and for what, to disrupt the lives of citizens that for the most part follow the law.  If there was a…

What’s up people!? (Besides the fact that I was dead wrong on Miami and VT) I had a crazy sports week.  Baseball is finally coming to an end (the regular season anyways), college and pro football were crazy ridiculous, and we’ve even got the President saying he’s going to go to Denmark to make a pitch to the IOC for Chicago to get the 2016 Olympics.  This is going to be insane! A Conversation That Probably Happened After Virginia Tech beat the tar out of Miami on Saturday I watched as Randy Shannon and Frank Beamer met at mid-field to…

Plyometrics are exercises, which when performed build explosive power in the body. Athletes use this form of training to improve on their specific skill, but any fitness trainer can use plyometric training to build power through their muscles. Throughout these movements, muscles are tensed and then contracted rapidly, using the elasticity and strength of the muscles and its surrounding tissue to throw farther, jump higher, hit harder, or run faster, dependent on the training goal desired. Plyometric training increases the force or speed of muscular contractions. Examples of plyometric training include the burpee press-up: Up upright position, fall into press-up…

So here we are, back with the second part of this series. In case you didn’t read the first one, I’ll quickly brief you. This series is about foods that could help you gain without nescessarily having direct effects, or just being a new form of protein. It’s about the other nutrients, and the other foods which are rich in these nutrients. So, without much further ado, I present part 2 of this 3 part series. 11. Grapefruit Grapefruits are rich in folic acid, and this is crucial for oxygen delivery to the brain, which means it will take longer…

So,  finally, we have reached the last of the series, the third part. It’s a crying shame, I was enjoying researching these foods and looking through science journals. Anyway, if you haven’t been around for the last two parts, I’ll quickly brief you. This series is about focusing on the nutrients that are NOT protein or carbohyrates, but instead the vitamins and other nutrients which matter to us alot aswell, but are often overlooked. And so, to conclude, here are the final 10 superfoods… 21. Walnuts Walnuts have an association with brains simply because they look like them…but thats not…

Amino acids are known as the building blocks of protein. There are twenty known amino acids required by the body. Nine are essential amino acids required in the body, and the other eleven non-essential amino acids are made when necessary by the body through linking with the essential amino acids. The essential amino acids must be consumed through the diet, as a deficiency can cause the body to slow down the building blocks of proteins, and even break down the muscle if amino acids are not supplied to the body in an adequate quantity. This can provide havoc for the…

I’ve got a big scoreboard and I’m not afraid to use it! I’m 21-10 for the season, and after I got of to such a good start in Week 1 I am feeling the crunch from Week 2.  Let’s discuss a couple of my losses just to make sure I’ve got this straight. The 49ers beat Seattle:  I figured out WTRM… Mike Singletary might actually kill players who don’t play hard, because I have no other explanation for this.  Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but this is crazy.  I always respected Mike when he was with the Bears,…

It’s Friday Night, I got some thoughts, and we got College Football coming tomorrow.  I’m not keeping a record for College Football because it’s too up in the air.  I never know what games will strike me from week to week.  I read the schedule and then my brain is flooded with ideas….so here they come! (22) North Carolina @ Georgia Tech   12 Noon North Carolina is pretty hot right now, Tech is not.  With absolutely no ability to pass the ball the Jackets HAVE to get off to a good start.  If they get behind even 7-0 I…

For much of the first 125 years of professional baseball, one never thought of such things as a player taking days off, a starting pitcher throwing less than a complete game, or there being prodigious power hitters. This was especially true during the dead ball era at the turn of the 20th century, where you could see the league leader hit as few as a dozen home runs over the course of a full campaign. Fast forward into the last decade, when the game seemingly has exploded, from attendance, to the number of teams, and most surprisingly, the sudden rage…

Every day, I see guys eating the same old stuff, and getting worse and worse gains. You know why this is? They’re neglecting their bodies, focusing entirely on protein, as if that is the one, single nutrient their bodies require. How much more wrong could they be? Of course, protein is extremely important, definitely the most important nutrient if your lifting, however, that is not to say that there aren’t other foods that could supercharge your gains if eaten in moderation. This series of articles is about the other foods – which contain the other nutrients – which really could…
