Quote of the Day 7th April 2009

Question -

I only have exercise bikes available at my gym and was wondering what I could do with them. Could you think of any metcon workouts I could do that wouldn't be completely useless?

Rips Answer -

You can do 30 second all-out sprints with a moderate load, or Tabatas. Quite a hairy-ass experience, if done correctly.

Question –

When starting tabata should I use the empty bar?

Rips Answer –

On an exercise bicycle? Sure. Make a video.

Quote of the Day 4th April 2009

In response to a thread about eating raw eggs, Rip replies

“Let's stop a second to consider where eggs come from: they emerge from a chicken's feathery, unkempt, unpampered ass.

You'll do this until a little bit of goo remaining on a shell makes you sick as a horse for about 2 days. Then you'll stop eating raw eggs.”

You are right to be wary. There is much bullshit.

Be wary of me too, because I may be wrong.

Make up your own mind after you evaluate all the evidence and the logic.

Testosterone levels peak in our mid-twenties,
hold relatively steady for another decade, and then
begin to fall like women’s clothes at the
kinds of parties we don’t get invited to any more.

Quote of the Day 1st April 2009

Only people willing to work to the point of discomfort on a regular basis using effective means to produce that discomfort will actually look like they have been other-than-comfortable most of the time.

You can thank the muscle magazines for these persistent misconceptions, along with the natural tendency of all normal humans to seek reasons to avoid hard physical exertion.
