2. Topics

a. High Salt Prevents Weight Gain In Mice on a High-Fat Diet

i. From: University of Iowa Health Care

ii. "People focus on how much fat or sugar is in the food they eat, but [in our experiments] something that has nothing to do with caloric content -- sodium -- has an even bigger effect on weight gain," say Justin Grobe, PhD, assistant professor of pharmacology at the UI Carver College of Medicine.

iii. The UI team started the study with the hypothesis that fat and salt, both being tasty to humans, would act together to increase food consumption and promote weight gain.

iv. To their surprise, the mice on the high-fat diet with the lowest salt gained the most weight, about 15 grams over 16 weeks, while animals on the high-fat, highest salt diet had low weight gain that was similar to the chow-fed mice, about 5 grams.

v. "This suppression of weight gain with increased sodium was due entirely to a reduced efficiency of the digestive tract to extract calories from the food that was consumed," explains Grobe.

vi. Summary: In a study that seems to defy conventional dietary wisdom, scientists have found that adding high salt to a high-fat diet actually prevents weight gain in mice. The findings highlight the profound effect non-caloric dietary nutrients can have on energy balance and weight gain, and suggest that public health efforts to continue lowering sodium intake may have unexpected and unintended consequences.

b. 11 Foods Scientifically Proven To Lower Your Blood Pressure

i. Beetroot – Helps, to reduces blood pressure.

ii. Garlic - Significantly lowers elevated blood pressure.

iii. Fish Oil – Helps, effective treatment for high blood pressure.

iv. Cashews and Almonds - Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 bodily process.

v. Kale - It's loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds known to help prevent disease.

vi. Stevia - Natural sweeteners

vii. Turmeric - Indian curry spice

viii. Green Tea - Is so beneficial is because of its polyphenols

ix. Green Coffee - Unroasted coffee.

x. Vitamin K2 - Vitamin K2 helps regulate where calcium ends up in the body. It works to keep calcium in your bones, and removes it from blood vessels where it can cause arterial stiffness and calcification.

xi. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil - Is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and phenolic antioxidants.

c. How Your Gym Attitude Affects Your Exercise Habits

i. Researchers surveyed 1,552 individuals to determine their attitudes and behavior regarding exercise practices.

ii. Of the 1,552 individuals, 989 were considered overweight or obese.

iii. Overweight individuals had a greater belief that exercise would lead to improved appearance and self-image.

iv. Overweight individuals felt more embarrassed and intimidated by exercise, exercising around young people, exercising around fit people and about health club sales people

v. Overweight and normal weight individuals had the same attitudes regarding exercising with the opposite sex, using complicated exercise equipment, experiencing exercise boredom and overall intent to exercise.

vi. The heavier the individual, the lower his perception of health and the more negative emotions he would experience in association with health club exercise—this was particularly true for Caucasian adults.

vii. The interesting thing about this study is that both normal weight and overweight individuals had the exact same intent to exercise and held similar attitudes regarding gym equipment. The main barriers to exercise in overweight individuals were primarily due to negative attitudes regarding exercising around younger, more fit individuals

viii. If you're simply not comfortable working out in a gym setting, you don't have to ditch exercise altogether.

q. From: Anonymously @All

And women with a normal weight and a potbelly were 32 percent more likely to die than obese women.Obesity was determined by the person's BMI, or body mass index, which is often used as an indicator of health.Not all fat is equal. Just as there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, there is good fat and bad fat.Fat around the belly might look the same under the microscope as fat from the arms or legs, but it's much more active. Belly fat is especially bad for you because it is often deposited in the liver and causes inflammation that could lead to diabetes and heart diseasePeople should be aware of their waist-to-hip ratios and should aim for building muscle, not necessarily just shedding pounds.Source: http://www.newsy.com/videos/a-potbelly-could-be-deadlier-than-obesity-study-says/Christmas and New Year Plans?What are our plans for Christmas Holidays and New Year?EmailsFrom: Ryan62007 @All
Question: So I've heard the term "genetic lottery winner" thrown around a lot in the world of bodybuilding.

From: JetBlack Panter @Syn
Question: i'm a social recluse and don't get out much. I go to con and feel more open to others but how do you get out there to meet someone with similar interest in a small group of people to start with and even more if they are not gay?

a. MWFF 2015 – Plans
- Highlight any events are focus anybody be doing while at the convention.
b. Tips of Thanksgivings
- With Thanksgiving in about two weeks there a lot of stuff to watch out for. One thing to keep in mind is that while others are not on a workout plan, you are. Watching what one eats is a good place to stay focus on, not saying one shouldn’t eat that special dish, just keep a few points in mind while doing so.
- 1. Don’t let yourself not eat all day for a big buffet later on. – Skipping meals lowers one metabolism, as well as eating a big gigantic meal.
- 2. When eating load up on meat and vegetables – Eat less starches and more high-fats items such as green bean casseroles and candied yams.
- 3. Eat Turkey, Go Skinless – Lose the skin and eat more meat.
- Some Examples:
- Turkey: Roasted, With Skin; Calories: 208; Protein: 54%; Carbs: 0%; Fat: 42%
- Turkey: Dark Meat, No Skin; Calories: 187; Protein: 61%; Carbs 39%; Fat: 35%
- 4. Drink More Water, Less Coffee and/or Alcohol
- In addition to filling you up a little more with your meal, drinking water will ensure that you stay hydrated, and flush out some of that excess sodium that you will be eating.
- 5. Eat Slow - Eating slower, taking smaller bites, and putting your utensils down in between bites will ensure that your body lets you know when it is full, rather than letting you overstuff yourself too early on.
- 7. Weight Maintenance, Rather Than Weight – Weight lost is not a major priority, but keeping weight maintenance is the focus.
- 8. Skip The Crust. Just One Serving - When eating pie, eat the filling part and leave the crust, to save on some empty calories.

Question: Is there a difference between working out 5 days in a week for an hour compared to 3 days in a week for two hours? Which works best between the two?
(Shawn Arent, an exercise scientist at Rutgers University. There was a huge difference between working out two and three days a week. While any amount of exercise is an improvement over none at all, if you're already in decent shape, exercising for just two days a week will not get you much additional benefit.)

Furry-Muscle Cast – 49 – Fall(ing) Weights & Conventions
IntroductionsGuess Co-Host - Tibor Tiger – Saving Furries With Hugs (Confirm)Maximus-Ursus – Gym, Weights, Coins, Cons.Beastly Bahamut – Hot, Sweating and Ripping Off All The Clothing.Tiptoe – Smelling Cheese at A.C.Jazz Wolf – Biking That Extra Mile.Schredded Wolf – Working, Lifting, Cons…MmmmmSnowheart – Moving, Working and LiftingSyn – Just Another Rat at The RaceTiberious – Working, Flying and Lifting.Zak – Researching, Reading, Organizing, Planning...Let Go!TopicsAnthrocon, Megaplex Conventions Review – Fall/Winter Conventions (25 Minutes)We briefly go over the A.C. and Megaplex cons and any highlights are stories. Talk about what plans we all have for this coming Fall/Winter conventions.The Big debate between Free Weights and Weight Machines (25 – 30 Minutes)Both free weights and machines weights do have pros and cons to each of them. They both do help build muscle just in different ways and attacks each muscle group differently.Machines are good for training size and strength but they neglect key core and stabilization muscles.Pros of Machines WeightsEasy to learn.Isolate muscle groups more efficientlyAllows you to train with heavier weights without assistance.Usefully to elderly populations and/or rehab.Cons of Machines Weights.Non-Functional – They don’t train complete human movement patterns.Neglect smaller stabilizing musclesMay cause injury directly and indirectly. - It is still possible to use too much weight and enough poor form to cause a serious injury. Overloading the same movement day in and day out is also an easy way to set yourself up for an overuse injury.False sense of strength gainPros of Free WeightsIncreased use of stabilizing musclesImproved balanceIncreased use of brainpower - Whenever you perform an exercise with free weights, you use proprioreception, which is the brain's ability to know where the body is in space and whether or not it is balanced.Allow for endless variation - With free weights, all you need is one dumbbell and you can do hundreds of different exercise variations.Cons of Free WeightTakes some skill to learn proper technique.Greater risk of injury when not done properlyNeed a spotter to lift heavy weight on squat or bench press exercisesDecreased efficiency in time - if you're using dumbbells that require adding or removing plates to adjust the weight, much of your time will be spent preparing for your next exercise.Source: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/trainingstation3.htmSource: http://www.builtlean.com/2013/06/11/free-weights-vs-machines/Source: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/expert-answers/weight-training/faq-20058479Source: http://www.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding_100/141_fitness_tip.htmlKeeping MotivationBody Image: Our society gives us this type of motivation most of the time in the form magazines, social media, television shows, movies, etc. These wants can be transform in to a goal to help push oneself to keep up the workout goal to what body you like to have.Working Out: Having a gym buddy will help to keep stuff one motivated to keep going. They help to encourage and push you as well as make you not miss a workout.Results: Seeing what your workout has been doing helps with the physical side of the mind to keep work out and get bigger are more in shape depending on your goals.Variety: Keeping things fresh helps to keep the mind from being bore with the task. Try to add change to your workout but to keep the same goal. For example we will use a cardio work out, people usually use a treadmill. So to mix it up how about running outside, working out in the pool class are try a boxing class. Something to get the same effect of what cardio will do but just mixing it up is the key.Music: Find some music that will help keep you upbeat and in the mood to work out and on track.

a. Muscles Kicks Depression’s Ass!
i. A powerful body can protect the brain, a new study suggests. Toned muscles filter a toxin from the brain and keep depression at bay.
ii. By discovering a previously unknown link between muscles and brain in mice, the results provide compelling evidence for the healing power of exercise.
iii. Researchers have known that in response to a good workout, muscles produce a compound called PGC-1 alpha 1, which is a general do-gooder around the body. The compound prompts the body to make more blood vessels and mitochondria (power factory for a cell), for instance.
iv. To get the benefits, people would need to routinely challenge their muscles, which means regularly upping their exercise regimens.

c. Whole Eggs vs. Egg Whites
i. Egg whites are a nearly pure source of protein, containing almost 100% of their calories from this macro with virtually no fats or carbs.
ii. Whole eggs, on the other hand, contain considerable calories and micronutrients that come with the egg yolks. All of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) in eggs are found in the yolk. In addition, the yolks contain the healthy fats and cholesterol necessary for the production of hormones such as testosterone.
iii. 8 Egg Whites | 4 Whole Eggs
Protein = 28G | Protein = 28G
Carbs = 2G | Carbs = 2G
Fats = 0G | Fats = 21G
Calories = 137 | Calories = 312
iv. Best to go with whole eggs over egg whites. Whole eggs have a better amino acid profile to help support bodybuilding results.

2. Topics
a. High Salt Prevents Weight Gain In Mice on a High-Fat Diet
i. From: University of Iowa Health Care
ii. "People focus on how much fat or sugar is in the food they eat, but [in our experiments] something that has nothing to do with caloric content -- sodium -- has an even bigger effect on weight gain," say Justin Grobe, PhD, assistant professor of pharmacology at the UI Carver College of Medicine.
iii. The UI team started the study with the hypothesis that fat and salt, both being tasty to humans, would act together to increase food consumption and promote weight gain.
iv. To their surprise, the mice on the high-fat diet with the lowest salt gained the most weight, about 15 grams over 16 weeks, while animals on the high-fat, highest salt diet had low weight gain that was similar to the chow-fed mice, about 5 grams.
v. "This suppression of weight gain with increased sodium was due entirely to a reduced efficiency of the digestive tract to extract calories from the food that was consumed," explains Grobe.
vi. Summary: In a study that seems to defy conventional dietary wisdom, scientists have found that adding high salt to a high-fat diet actually prevents weight gain in mice. The findings highlight the profound effect non-caloric dietary nutrients can have on energy balance and weight gain, and suggest that public health efforts to continue lowering sodium intake may have unexpected and unintended consequences.

b. 11 Foods Scientifically Proven To Lower Your Blood Pressure
i. Beetroot – Helps, to reduces blood pressure.
ii. Garlic - Significantly lowers elevated blood pressure.
iii. Fish Oil – Helps, effective treatment for high blood pressure.
iv. Cashews and Almonds - Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 bodily process.
v. Kale - It's loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds known to help prevent disease.
vi. Stevia - Natural sweeteners
vii. Turmeric - Indian curry spice
viii. Green Tea - Is so beneficial is because of its polyphenols
ix. Green Coffee - Unroasted coffee.
x. Vitamin K2 - Vitamin K2 helps regulate where calcium ends up in the body. It works to keep calcium in your bones, and removes it from blood vessels where it can cause arterial stiffness and calcification.
xi. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil - Is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and phenolic antioxidants.
xii. Source: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/11-foods-scientifically-proven-to-lower-your-blood-pressure.html
c. How Your Gym Attitude Affects Your Exercise Habits
i. Researchers surveyed 1,552 individuals to determine their attitudes and behavior regarding exercise practices.
ii. Of the 1,552 individuals, 989 were considered overweight or obese.
iii. Overweight individuals had a greater belief that exercise would lead to improved appearance and self-image.
iv. Overweight individuals felt more embarrassed and intimidated by exercise, exercising around young people, exercising around fit people and about health club sales people
v. Overweight and normal weight individuals had the same attitudes regarding exercising with the opposite sex, using complicated exercise equipment, experiencing exercise boredom and overall intent to exercise.
vi. The heavier the individual, the lower his perception of health and the more negative emotions he would experience in association with health club exercise—this was particularly true for Caucasian adults.
vii. The interesting thing about this study is that both normal weight and overweight individuals had the exact same intent to exercise and held similar attitudes regarding gym equipment. The main barriers to exercise in overweight individuals were primarily due to negative attitudes regarding exercising around younger, more fit individuals
viii. If you're simply not comfortable working out in a gym setting, you don't have to ditch exercise altogether.

h. Tiberious – Away
i. Zak – Getting Busy
2. Topics
a. Tiptoe & Syn – Racing
i. Run through the racing that you both just done.
b. Bad Fat, Turns Good
i. Bad fat cells called adipose cells can be converted in to good cells.
ii. The drug called GC-1.
iii. GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate, essentially converting white fat, which stores excess calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease, into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat.
iv. GC-1 works, according to Phillips, by activating the receptors for thyroid hormone, which play a role in regulating metabolism.
v. Until several years ago, scientists thought that only animals and human infants have energy-burning, "good" brown fat.
vi. Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks, Phillips reported. Treated mice also showed antidiabetic effects, such as a sixfold improvement or better in insulin sensitivity (how well the body clears glucose from the bloodstream).
vii. Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150307095940.htm
c. Pea protein: Is it the new soy?
i. From cereals to smoothies to energy bars, pea protein is everywhere. What's driving the craze is the hunger to find an easy-to-digest plant-based protein that is less apt to cause allergic reactions, like gluten or soy.
ii. Pea protein is a supplement derived from the same kinds of dried peas you'd use to make soup.
iii. The one downside: It's not a complete protein.
iv. Unlike other popular protein products, soy and whey, it doesn't have all the amino acids we need that our bodies can't make. To get the full nutritional value, it needs to be combined with something like rice or bread.
v. It also contains soluble fiber that can lower cholesterol levels. The protein in pea fiber can also help keep you feeling satisfied, not being hungry.
vi. There's a growing body of evidence that plant-based diets can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and the risk of early death.
vii. Source: http://www.today.com/health/pea-protein-it-new-soy-t10501
d. Adding Protein Throughout The Day Has Health Benefits
i. Research has shown that eating more protein can support weight loss and prevent weight gain by boosting metabolism, increasing feelings of fullness and helping the body retain muscle while losing fat.
ii. University of Missouri researcher Heather Leidy and her colleagues conducted a review of the current scientific literature on protein consumption and found that a moderate increase in protein consumption at each meal, balanced throughout the day, can lead to significant improvements.
iii. Eat Breakfast - Eating a protein-rich breakfast containing about 30 grams of protein leads to even greater satiety throughout the day and can reduce unhealthy snacking by improving appetite control.
iv. Add a little protein to every meal, especially at breakfast and lunch.
v. Consume high-quality protein - Not all proteins are created equal. High-quality, or "complete," proteins found in animal-based foods such as beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids and are easily
vi. Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150430124835.htm
e. Rock-Hard, Flat Mid-Section
i. Core training is obviously a very important aspect in developing a strong mid-section.
ii. Nutrition - Stick with an 80/20 rule when it comes to diet. 80 percent of your week at the minimum needs to be spot on. Do everything that you to do 80 percent of the time. Then, the remaining 20 percent allow for error and some fun.
iii. Exercise – The core is made up of these areas: rectus abdominis, obliques, quadratus lumborum, erector spinae, transverse abdominis, multifidus, diaphragm and the pelvic floor. That's a lot to train, and you are not going to hit them all by doing crunches.
1. Planks
2. Side Planks
3. Bird Dog
4. Sternal Crunch (With No Flexion)
5. Belly Breathing
iv. Sleep - Getting a sufficient amount of rest is vital in being healthy overall and the healthier you are, the more of a fat-burning furnace you'll be.

Question: Me and my husband have be together for over six year. I had been hefty for over a long time as well as him. I found the podcast and stated to get my ass out and do something to address the current problem that is apparent to me. I have lost thirty pounds of weight in about four month’s times. I have still got a way to go but a email for another time, but, my question to you both. My husband has yet to see the light and has been not as support of going to the gym as me trying to help myself and him to come as well. There have been some times that we have had some heated words over the subject, but he coming around a little bit. How can I help promote a better life with him and I if he lacking the drive to hit the weights and help keep the tension low as well. Also, how do you both handle your relationship with the gym? Do you mostly focus on yourself and then your partner? Are, are you both always in the same boat and move forward?

3. Topics
A. The Hidden Benefits of Exercise
o Reduce Stress
- Exercise also increases concentrations of norepinephrine, a chemical that can moderate the brain’s response to stress.
o Boost Happy Chemicals
- Exercise releases endorphins, which create feelings of happiness and euphoria. Studies have shown that exercise can even alleviate symptoms among the clinically depressed . For this reason, docs recommend that people suffering from depression or anxiety (or those who are just feeling blue) pencil in plenty of gym time.
o Improve Self-Confidence
- Physical fitness can boost self-esteem and improve positive self-image. Regardless of weight, size, gender, or age, exercise can quickly elevate a person's perception of his or her attractiveness, that is, self-worth.
o Enjoy the Great Outdoors
- Find an outdoor workout that fits your style, whether it’s rock-climbing, hiking, renting a canoe, or just taking a jog in the park. Plus, all that Vitamin D acquired from soaking up the sun can lessen the likelihood of experiencing depressive symptoms.
o Prevent Cognitive Decline
- Working out, especially between age 25 and 45, boosts the chemicals in the brain that support and prevent degeneration of the hippocampus, an important part of the brain for memory and learning.
o Alleviate Anxiety
- Hopping on the track or treadmill for some moderate-to-high intensity aerobic exercise (intervals, anyone?) can reduce anxiety sensitivity.
o Boost Brainpower
- Studies suggest that a tough workout increases levels of a brain-derived protein (known as BDNF - brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the body, believed to help with decision making, higher thinking, and learning.
o Sharpen Memory
- Getting sweaty increases production of cells in hippocampus responsible for memory and learning . For this reason, research has linked children’s brain development with level of physical fitness.
o Help Control Addiction
- Short exercise sessions can also effectively distract drug or alcohol addicts, making them de-prioritize cravings (at least in the short term)
o Increase Relaxation
- Moving around five to six hours before bedtime raises the body’s core temperature. When the body temp drops back to normal a few hours later, it signals the body that it’s time to sleep.
o Get More Done
- Research shows that workers who take time for exercise on a regular basis are more productive and have more energy than their more sedentary peers.
o Tap Into Creativity
- A heart-pumping gym session can boost creativity for up to two hours afterwards.
o Inspire Others
- Studies show that most people perform better on aerobic tests when paired up with a workout buddy. Even fitness beginners can inspire each other to push harder during a sweat session, so find a workout buddy and get moving.

B. Little Changes for a Better You
o Cut out sodas
o Avoid fast food whenever possible
o Order salad dressing on the side and dip your fork in for flavor in each bite.

3. Topics
A. Lifting Fast or Slow?
o The subject has been discussed many times over and over and the results have gone both ways as to which one is better.
o Lifting fast can increase the chances of injuring muscle and joints as well as doing the exercises incorrectly.
o Lifting fast does have a positive side as well, it has a more metabolically demanding on the body. It burns more calories.
o Lifting fast improves balance and strength.
o Lifting fast with a lot of reps of light weight will not have the same benefits as lifting heavy.
o Lifting slow helps to improvement in low velocity exercises.
o Lifting slow helps to keep the muscle under tension longer which helps to break it down.
o Lifting slow lowers the number of muscle fibers being fired in the muscle for it to work.
o Sources: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/lift-weights-fast-or-slow
o Sources: http://www.livestrong.com/article/439458-slow-reps-vs-fast-reps/
o Sources: http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/muscle_myths_debunked/Slow_Lifting_Builds_Huge_Muscles.php
B. Classis Training Ideas: Fact or Fiction?
o New research studies haven't change the way we think on training and nutrition, but it has rather refined some of the view points on them.
o Bigger Weight Will Produce Bigger Gains
o Our muscles are extremely adaptive to the stimulus we apply to them, and resistance training is our strongest activator of muscle growth.
o Research shows that we don't only have to lift heavy but more along the lines of we don't only need to lift heavy.
o These studies uncover how low-load and high-load resistance training can produce similar anabolic responses and gains in muscle size, highlighting the importance of tracking the total work you perform—as well as lifting to failure if your goal is muscle growth.
o There's An Anabolic Window
o The common norm is to have a protein shake post workout within a time frame after working out. But in recent years that the timeframe is an is not as crucial as we all may have thought.
o Take your shake if it's part of your gym ritual, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's any more important than everything else you eat. Protein intake over the course of the day appears to be more important in eliciting in muscle growth than proximity to a workout.
o More Protein is Better
o The high protein diets are becoming more and more widely accepted to be safe and effective for improving physique.
o Because of the plateau effect on muscle protein synthesis, focusing on the amount of protein per meal is a better approach than the amount of protein per day. Save your money and maximize the muscle-building benefits of protein by eating around 0.12 grams per kilogram of body weight per meal, rather than cramming in high doses of protein to meet a daily standard.
o Fasted Cardio Maximizes Fast Loss
o It’s a common idea to run before eating food as the body will burn more fat for fuel.
o Recent study showed that fasted cardio did not provide any further benefit compared to morning cardio in a fed state.
o One should keep in mind that it more of personal preference, since fasted and fed cardio appear to offer similar benefits to fat loss.
o Those attempting to maintain muscle mass while losing fat should be cautious with fasted cardio. Upon waking up, our muscles are in a catabolic state, and fasted cardio can elevate the use of protein as fuel. These athletes should consider sipping on fast-digesting protein or BCAAs (branched-chain amino acid) before or during morning cardio to limit muscle loss.

C. Music While Workout
o While listen to music it helps to improve one’s workout.
o Research find that listen to music distracts athletes from their bodily awareness.
o Source: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/25/phys-ed-does-music-make-you-exercise-harder/?_r=0
o Studies found that not just listening, but controlling and creating music in time to one's pace had an even more profound effect on perceived effort during a workout.
o Music is the good kind of distraction.
o It ups your effort.
o Music puts you “in the zone.”
o A good beat can help you keep pace.
o Music can elevate your mood.
o It makes you want to move.

C. Working Out While Traveling
- We all on vacation sometime in our lives. But we can’t always have access to a gym. We got some tips to maybe offset that extra plate of food you just ate.
- Swimming Pools – Never underestimate power of water! Swimming helps with ankle, kneels and hip joints for basic water works. Of course if one chooses to do more swimming than water classes you get more of a whole body workout and work all your body.
- Stairwells – Yes you hear that right! Stair wells are the best way to get a cardio workout. Try running up five levels and see how you feel. Just walking up and down the stairs from start to finish at your own pace. This will give your legs a workout and help raise your heartbeat.
- While in your hotel room the basic exercise can work wonders. Push Ups, Sit Ups, Planks, Lunges and Jumping Jacks to name a few.

C. Back To Basics
- What are carbohydrates or carbs?
● Carbs area component in everything we eat, mostly.
● Carbs can be categorized into two types: simple and complex.
● Simple: These carbs are usually labeled as “bad carb’s.” They are made mostly from processed flour and contain added sugars. They give very little nutrition to the body. They often give the person who eats them a burst of energy, later followed by an energy crash.
● Some sources of simple carbs are corn syrup, candy, soft drinks, and fruit drinks.
● Complex carbohydrates are long branches of fructose, glucose, and sucrose molecules organized into more complex structures, such as starches or other “High carbohydrate” foods.|
● Starches are polysaccharides and are composed as huge chains of various sugar molecules that get broken down and metabolized into massive component groups of mainly glucose and sucrose molecules. See risks of carb overload in lower bullet point|
● Some sources of starchy foods are potatoes, bread, cereals, rice, pasta, and beans.
● But like anything too much of anything is a bad thing.
o Carbs, specifically glucose and sucrose, as a general category cause massive spikes in insulin levels which, over time, can lead to insulin resistance and the body essentially “Runs out” of insulin and can lead to diabetes.

D. Alpha Chow Infomercials
- Contacted Arrow and speaking to him about an interview.
- Short Version By Arrow: “The short version of the story is that a writer from a company that films shorts for Adult Swim contacted me because he wrote a script involving a buff mascot costume. He apparently found me from a fursuit parade video. After reading the script, I agreed, and flew down for a day-shoot. It was an amazing experience – I was treated as “talent” as much as any of the other actors in the short, and everyone was friendly and fun. I got to be in prosthetics and I got to say a line on camera. The complete story is below!”

C. 11 Fitness Myths
1. Sit Ups And Crunches Are Most Effective For Six-Pack Abs
o Truth: Moves like planks and push ups are much more effective at carving out your ab muscles than sit ups and crunches. |This doesn’t make sense. At all.|
2. Cardio Burns The Most Calories
o Truth: If you want to burn more fat overall -- and keep burning it long after your workout is over. |This last part is an effect of lean muscle tissue, not cardio. Cardio’s effects of fat burning are due to metabolic processes during actual activity.|
3. Stretching Is Best Before Working Out
o Warming up with cardio before a workout is much more effective than stretching. | Warm up, stretch, work out, stretch, cool down|
4. Weight Lifting Will Bulk You Up
o Women aren't built to bulk up the same way men do; females don't have the testosterone levels necessary.
5. You Need Eight Glasses Of Water Daily
o Drink as much water as you need for clear urine. |Urine opacity and hydration levels aren’t actually related, but there is a very very crude correlation|
6. Go Gluten-Free To Lose Weight
o Unless you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, there's no need to go gluten-free. |This isn’t technically true. True, there is a gluten-free fad going on, but at the same time, diets high in gluten are scientifically shown to increase rates of diabetes, obesity, and are directly correlated with the instances of auto-immune disease and neural degenerative diseases such as alzheimer’s, parkinsons, and a myriad of others.|
7. It's Too Late To Get In Shape
o It's never too late to begin a healthier routine. If you don't exercise at all, start by walking 5 to 10 minutes a day, gradually increasing the time and adding in strength training after 1 to 3 months.
o Moderation is the key here.
8. You Need A Long Workout
o Your body starts burning fat as soon as you start exercising |Incorrect, there are two energy systems that need to be exhausted before fat begins to metabolize.|
9. You Need A Gym Membership To Get Results
o You don't need a gym membership or major equipment to work out. A yoga mat, resistance band or even a chair are all you need to get a full-body workout at home.
10. If You're Not In Pain, You're Not Working Hard Enough
o While muscle soreness is to be expected during a workout, especially if you're trying a new exercise or lifting a heavier weight, but if you're in serious pain, stop what you're doing. It doesn't mean you're working harder -- it means you're probably injuring yourself.
11. More Exercise Is Always Better
o Intense exercising every single day will burn you out, making you less likely to maintain a routine. Your muscles need time to recover.

B. Holiday Fitness Tips
- Prioritize Your Time - During the holiday rush many people forget to give themselves “you” time. If one can’t get a normal workout in it best to at least do 30 minutes of activity first thing in the morning.
- Pick Your Indulgences Wisely - Indulge wisely and in moderation. Is the goodie in question one you can eat year-round, or is it a seasonal special? There's no point blowing your diet on a cookie that comes from a box purchased from the supermarket. You can throw those in your cart at any time.
- Buddy Up - Find someone with similar goals, and work together to accomplish them, this can help with staying on track during the holiday eats.
- Schedule Training Wisely - Plan ahead a little before diving in to workout. Putting the turkey and stuffing to go use. Time your meals so you can use them as fuel or to replenish nutrients.
- Other Tips On Link’s Website
- Links: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/8-holiday-fitness-tips.html
C. Volume Training
- What is Volume Training? - To train a muscle group many times over above 15 sets (many times one does that exercise).
- Risk: Obvious risk of overtraining,
- Do 18–26 sets for large body parts, like back and quads. Do 15–20 sets for smaller body parts, like triceps and calves
- Work out six days weekly, and train all body parts, other than abs and calves, only once a week. This will allow you to keep your intensity up throughout the entire routine.
- Keep all workouts to 90 minutes or less.
- In order to maintain your intensity, increase your overall workout volume gradually. Don’t add more than two sets per week.
- Link: http://www.flexonline.com/training/training-style-volume-training
C. Protein
- What is the best time to eat protein?
- Most people get their protein intake at breakfast and dinner times.
- Is there an advantage to spreading protein intake throughout your day? *Pause* Hell, yes.
- Researchers studied 24-hour muscle-protein synthesis in a group of healthy men and women.
- Protein synthesis was 25% higher when subjects consumed protein evenly at each meal. The researchers concluded that it’s better to have protein with breakfast, lunch, and dinner than having a big, high protein meal at night.

f. After-School Exercise Yields Brain Gains: Study
· Regular daily exercise appears to improve children's attention and multi-tasking skills.
· The researchers randomly assigned 221 children, aged 7 to 9, to either the after-school program or a wait-list for the program. The after-school program occurred for nearly all of the school year (150 days). Over two hours, physical activity alternated with rest periods, resulting in about 70 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise every weekday.
· Because the study directly compared two similar groups of children, the findings support the idea that the physical activity actually caused the brain improvements, though it's less clear how physical activity improves thinking skills, the experts said.

A new Georgia Institute of Technology study shows that an intense workout of as little as 20 minutes can enhance episodic memory, also known as long-term memory for previous events, by about 10 percent in healthy young adults."Our study indicates that people don't have to dedicate large amounts of time to give their brain a boost," said Lisa Weinberg, the Georgia Tech graduate student who led the project."The findings are encouraging because they are consistent with rodent literature that pinpoints exactly the parts of the brain that play a role in stress-induced memory benefits caused by exercise."Source: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141001102028.htmFitness Regimen Helps Older Men Live Longer:Researchers and experts have said that exercise and increased physical activity is good for the body at any age, but new data suggests in particular that regardless of a man's age, cardiovascular fitness can add more years of life.‘Higher in fitness means lower in mortality rates'Researchers found that when compared to the subjects with the least ability to exercise - those who belonged to the low-fit group - the subjects in the next-highest category of low-fit had an 18 percent lower risk of dying. Men who were considered moderately fit had a 36 percent lower risk of passing away; men in the high-fit category had a 48 percent lower risk of death.In other words, Reuters reported, for every 100 people placed in the very low-fit category who would die, the high-fit group saw only 52 subjects die.Source: http://www.naturalnews.com/045356_longevity_high_blood_pressure_fitness.htmlPlanet Fitness Kicks Pregnant Woman Out Of The Gym For Her 'Belly Hanging Out”A young pregnant woman was working out on a treadmill at a Planet Fitness gym in Charlotte, N.C., when one of the staff approached her and explained that she couldn't bare her bulging midriff. She had to change tops or leave. So she was given a choice. Melissa was wearing a string tank top, which Planet Fitness doesn't allow under their dress codes. Melisa complained that that's what she had worn each time she came to the gym, so that didn't make sense to her, a reasonable complaint but not a major newsworthy issue.Here's Planet Fitness' official entry into the much-ado-about-nothing incident from PR Director McCall Gosselin: "This particular location also had a stated policy that prohibited bare midriffs. In this instance, a staff member approached the member to inform her of the policy and offer her a free t-shirt to complete her workout. She was not asked to leave the gym as a result of her attire.Source: http://www.naturalnews.com/045011_Planet_Fitness_pregnant_woman_exercise.htmlGym StereotypesWhat do we see in the gyms?Where do we think we fall into?What do we hate the most.Our thoughts on the subject overall.EmailsFrom: Falconmage To: All
Question: What is the purpose of crossfit? Is it the same as high intensity training or will it help to actually build muscle and lose fat at the same time? After looking at most of the regimens that they have in their crossfit programs, it seems to lean more towards endurance training and fat lose.
From: Falconmage To: All
Question: What are your thoughts on Arnold Schwarzenegger's blueprints? A lot of people has been talking about how great the workout program is and are making gains and results from it but will it apply for someone that's an endomorph?
From: Falconmage To: All
If I were to incorporate a workout program that involves RPM and weight training in one day, will I actually lose muscle from all of this? There are plenty that says cardio burns muscle and a trainer once advised that we shouldn't do high intensity cardio right after lifting. If that is so, what about cardio first and then weight lifting? Is there a difference?
From: Tibor Tiger To: All
Question: How do you keep track of your progress/workouts? Do you use a notepad and paper or do you use an app on your phone or do you just keep everything in your head?
From: Tibor Tiger To: All
Question: Have you ever used DMSO (Dimethyl sulfoxide) to relieve muscle aches and pain? There's lots of info online about it but no clear answer about how well it works.

o Wear proper supportive devices to prevent wrist flexion.
o Practice moderation during exercise. In most cases, the more difficult the resistance training exercise.
o Ice your wrists after resistance training workouts, it will reduce the inflammation that can occur as a result of the activity
o Refrain from doing weight-bearing wrist curls or any other exercises where you feel excessive pain in the wrist.
o Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen reduce pain and inflammation.

D. Saving the spine
o Our spine is important in everything we do in our lives. Keeping it safe while lifting for work or for a plain walk in the sun. Here are a few tips to keep in mind when working out or lifting something heavy in the gym or at home.
1. Be active. Walking, running, swimming anything, the healthier one can be.
2. Maintain good posture. While sitting in front of a computer or doing homework keep a good posture while sitting.
3. Work the core region. Do different core exercise that will strengthen the abs and lower back.
4. Skipping that Military presses (where a barbell is lifted overhead), it can axially load the spinal column. Running can also be risky, he says. Just make sure you get your cardio some other way.
5. Don’t ignore sighs. When back pain first occurs, you'll probably keep doing what you're doing; you'll try to fight through the discomfort. Stop what your doing and rest your back.

2. Topics
A. Best Time to Workout
· Performance – “If you’re interested in performance, some evidence seems to point toward the afternoon and early evening as the best time to exercise”
· Hormonal Effects – “One study found that lifting heavy things in the evening, as opposed to the morning, resulted in a more anabolic (strength and size-building) testosterone/cortisol ratio.
· Health - Recently, much has been made of the neuroprotective effects of exercise. In other words, the pursuit of brawn appears to lead to brain.
· Sleep - Here’s one that found a 5:00 pm 30-minute session of moderate exercise improved sleep in elderly patients who normally had trouble falling asleep.
· Sustainability – “One study found that people who exercised in the mornings were more likely to exercise in general, while people who said they exercised at night or in the afternoon were less active overall.
· Bottom Line: “ultimately, the best time of day to exercise is the time of day that works for you.”

2. Main Topics
A. Ectomorph
An ectomorph is a typical skinny guy. Ecto’s have a light build with small joints and lean muscle. Usually ectomorph’s have long thin limbs with stringy muscles. Shoulders tend to be thin with little width.Ectomorphs find it very hard to gain weight. They have a fast metabolism which burns up calories very quickly. Ecto’s need a huge amount of calories in order to gain weight. Workouts should be short and intense focusing on big muscle groups.Small “delicate” frame and bone structureFlat chestSmall shouldersThinLean muscle massFinds it hard to gain weightFast metabolismSource: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/body-types-ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph.html
B. Making Sense of Chemical Stories
People are still being misled by chemical myths.The presence of a chemical isn’t a reason for alarm. The effect of a chemical depends on the dose. This guide flags up the more serious misconceptions that exist around chemicals and suggests straightforward ways for people to evaluate them.All the food contain chemicals that are toxic to humans. But are usually present in very small amounts, far below to harmful dose.Apple Seeds – Contain Amygdalin ~0.06g/kg of seedsPotatoes – Contain Solanin ~0.2g/kg (higher in green potatoes)Source: http://www.senseaboutscience.org/pages/making-sense-of-chemical-stories.html
C. Food Fatigue
People getting sick of eating the same food over and over again. It's an issue with serious bodybuilding, and alternatives to the otherwise obvious.“Maybe the key to not getting fatigue is to have no variety at all” ForumsThe idea is to have a variety in your diet so this does not happen.Variation is the key. Most cultures know this and even if they eat the same food day after day they often have one day when they eat something completely different.

· Background – Fandom, Life, School, Lifting, etc.
· Power lifter – How it started?; How long at it?; Contest?; Goals?; Future plans?
· How has powerlifting influence your life?
· What is the different between bodybuilding and powerlifting? (Tiberious’s point of view).
3. Topics (30 – 90 minutes)
· Review:
§ Body types can be place in to three main categories
§ Ectomorph – Tall & Lean (FMC - 33)
§ Mesomorph – (FMC – 34)
§ Endomorph – Shorter and usually a bigger person. (FMC – 35)
§ Mixed – These body types are not set and stone and people can have a combination of two body types.
A. Mesomorph –
· Large Muscle with naturally athletic physique.
· A mesomorph has a large bone structure, large muscles and a naturally athletic physique. They find it quite easy to gain and lose weight.
· Traits:
§ Athletic
§ Generally hard body
§ Well defined muscles
§ Rectangular shaped body
§ Strong
§ Gains muscle easily
§ Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs
· When it comes to training endomorphs find it very easy to gain weight. Unfortunately, a large portion of this weight is fat not muscle. To keep fat gain to a minimum, endomorphs must always train cardio as well as weights. Usually supplements may not be needed as long as the person has a high protein intake in their diet.
· Source: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/body-types-ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph.html
B. Rice Is Nice! (Occasion)
· Each food has a unique nutrient profile — high in some nutrients and low in others.
· A person who only eats nothing but chicken breasts, rice and broccoli, will still be lacking nutrients that should be balanced out by eating other foods in some of his daily meals.
· If rice is not for you try other complex carbs, such as yams, oatmeal, potatoes, pasta and whole-grain breads, you will still be covering your bases.
· Also try mixing some lemon juice and sugar with your rice to get it to separate and to give it moisture. This may make it more palatable for you. If you still don’t like it, then turn to complex carbs that you will enjoy eating.
· Keeping in mind that food balance is always important to the body.

C. The Science of Pecs! (da muscles)
· Pecs – Pectoralis Minor and Pectoralis Major (Images)
· These are two large, flat muscles that run across the surface of your chest. These muscles generally come into play when pushing something or hugging someone.
· For men a well form chest helps in self-esteem as well as show to others of physicall of the individual to others. For females it helps to support the breast and show off self-esteem as well.
· Pec Tears and Strains (Images)

4. Emails (30 – 45 Minutes)
A. From: Reeve @Schred/All
Comment from what Schred’s said from last Cast FMC – 33.
Review: Schred1 – Comment (Audio)
Review: Schred2 – Clearing Up Comment (Audio)
Review: Schred3 – Zak Follow Up (Audio)
Comment: I do believe that the distinction between the different body types is actually very important as long as people understand this is just a very generic scale to give you an idea of how fast your metabolism is.

I consider myself an endomorph. I’ve always been the pudgy little guy.
When I started working out, I was mostly doing cardio. My goal was to get in shape and feel a bit less ashamed of my body. The problem being that I had a really sweet tooth and preferred by far sweating on a treadmill than going on a diet. Also, from my personal experience, no matter how heavy I lift and how hard I push myself, I can't "lose fat" simply with lifting. Cardio seems to be, if not the only option, at least the best for me.
I did very intense cardio for about 5 months. In the end I was weighing 120 lbs for 5'3" and still looked a bit pudgy although I had very skinny arms and could nearly see my ribs.

I went to see a dietician who told me being slim would basically mean a drastic change in my lifestyle, both for exercises and diet. However, she also gave me this little explanation about body types, mostly to make me understand I had a slow metabolism and what it would imply. If I wanted to get in shape, it'd have been much easier for me to start lifting than to try and lose fat. So far, my results have been pretty good and I've started out-lifting ectomorphs friends who were ahead of me when I started.

All in all, what I'm trying to say is, even though the generalization of body types shouldn't be taking too seriously, having a general idea of the pros and cons of your metabolism can really help you finding the workout and diet that suit you best. I refuse to give up on my occasional cookie or ice cream, but if it hadn't been for learning about the endomorph body type and their ability to gain size easily, I would never have started weightlifting in the first place.
B. From: Anonymous @Snowheart (Image with Question)
Comment: t doesn't seem to look like I've changed much or changed at all after these past two years and it's actually quite demotivating and frustrating to see. I've done what I can within those two years and learning in between. There has been 5x5 (which I've learned quite a bit from previous podcast), HIIT and now, body weight training. Food intake is kept at a minimal as I'm trying to lose those fat and changing them into muscle mass.
Unfortunately, I am unable to fix down on a diet as money is an issue and my family isn't very supportive of what I'm going through. Being a Chinese and whatnot, I'm unable to bring them down to say that white rice is bad for me at the moment cause I did went through that phase and had an argument, even few days ago. We just need to have white rice. I tried adding in brown rice but two issues: 1) it's expensive to obtain and 2) my dad doesn't eat brown rice. Thus, boils down to the issue of food intake where I've been trying to cut half of my portion till now. I know food is a huge issue here but it's difficult in an environment where my parents aren't that supportive of it.

That goes for food and for training, I'm on a body weight training with a personal trainer. I've just started on that recently in December 2013 and still going on till now. What I've been doing are push ups, jumping lunges, squats, sand bag training, etc,. It's intense, that much I could say cause my trainer is one hell of a trainer. He pushes and I'm hoping to see results but I'm only on personal training with him once a week. The remaining days, I go on HIIT like RPM classes, biking. I hate running the treadmill and it's not what keeps me motivated. Classes like those keeps me focus and really force myself to push forward. Even after all those, I'm still not gaining or losing much. As you can see from the comparison, it's really demotivating.
I'm only taking whey protein and fat burner as supplements. And I have no access to any nutritionist. Supplements that I'm taking. I'm only taking whey protein and fat burner as supplements. And I have no access to any nutritionist.
