Who is Dr. Scott Connelly? Well, that depends on who you ask. You may have heard that he was the creator of the original MET-Rx formula or that he discovered an ingredient that would later be named Metamyosyn, but those claims appear to be false. The truth is Dr. Scott Connelly has spun a web of lies that is finally catching up with him. He soared to great heights along with Bill Phillips in the development of MET-Rx. On the brink of bankruptcy, MET-Rx was sold to Rexall Sundown in 1999, and not by him as he claims, but by…

This week, Sluggers and Slugs will bring the heat like Aroldis Chapman to the most important Like the previous week, my predictions were anything but accurate.  The Tampa Bay Rays have fallen 2.5 games behind the New York Yankees, the St. Louis Cardinals failed to close the gap, and the Atlanta Braves failed to increase their lead. However, I was right about the Chicago White Sox tightening up the AL Central Race after they completed a weekend series sweep in Boston.  This puts the final dagger in any playoff hopes those whiny Sam Adams-sipping Sox fans had left. Thanks to…

Even before Boise State and Virginia Tech tangle on Monday night, there is no doubt that college football is pretty jacked up.  UNC had to play with third-stringers all over the place, and Ole Miss fell to a “tomato can.” Is LSU not as good as we thought?  Are we really that close to a BCS shakeup? There are just a couple of teams that will shape the 2010 season, but a thousand ways to shape it.  I’m not going to go off on any particular tangent, but I am going to hit the NCAA hard on how they handle…

Let’s face it, when you lift heavy and often, you eat heavy and often.  It’s just part of the game. Sometimes, no matter how disciplined you are, you just want to have a snack.  We all get tired of sitting down to a plate of chicken or tuna with a green vegetable and half a sweet potato.  Other times you’re in a huge rush and don’t have the time to sit down for a meal. What Are Macronutrients? Of course each individual’s macro breakdown is going to be different depending on your body type, goals, and whether you’re cutting, bulking,…

Couch Potato Blitz Sit back and relax as I predict where all of the teams in the AFC will wind up within their respective divisions.  Last season I got four of the six teams that would make the playoffs in my preseason prediction.  If you’re a fan of the NFC be sure to check out my predictions on that conference for the 2010 NFL season. AFC North Baltimore Ravens Pittsburgh Steelers Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns This division is tough to gauge because the Ravens have a quarterback on the cusp of greatness in Joe Flacco, the Bengals have a team filled…

Alright, Nyjer Morgan is a dumbass douche bag.  We get it.  He’s brash, he’s young, he doesn’t see the big picture and he’s a pain in the ass.  However, when a fight ensued at a Nationals/Marlins game centering around Morgan, I had questions. Actually, one question specifically.  What unwritten rule of baseball did Morgan break that got the Marlins pitcher throwing behind him?  It only took five minutes listening to the radio to find out. He was stealing bases. Oh no. Henny Penny, the sky is falling!  Whatever shall we do?! Yeah, the Marlins were kicking the shit out of…

Beginning a gluten-free diet can be overwhelming at first. There is an exorbitant amount of information available. Take some time to sort through it and gather what you can apply. Have a good look…

College football kicked off on Thursday with a bunch of meaningless games and Utah beating Pitt.  Yep, I just covered the entire opening day of the season. Everyone was getting so jacked up to watch games that mean nothing and would be played pretty badly.  Even if it’s your team, it’s kind of hard to watch Miami beat someone 45-0. The real test of what college football is comes next week when we have some showdowns that actually have national title implications.  I don’t mean to be harsh, but there are a lot of college football teams and not very…

One of the toughest things in life to do is On E-Health MD, they gave some surprising stats in an article on what events (good or bad) in life can raise your stress level. The following situations are rated on the “Holmes-Raye” scale.

Boosting your testosterone levels might be great for your present and future health, but having too much of a good thing in your system could get you kicked out of international athletic competition. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), recently in the news for its dogged pursuit of cyclists Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong for doping allegations during Tour de France competition, has named testosterone as a “banned substance on the Prohibited List of all illegal performance-enhancing substances.” WADA classified testosterone as “an anabolic androgenic steroid, an illegal steroid that is intended to produce or facilitate male growth and physical characteristics…
