If I had a dime for everything that Ginko Biloba is supposed to do, I'd be a millionaire. The claims are endless. Are there any studies legitimately demonstrating it's efficacy for anything at all?

You're right IL2R, though I do fast 20 hrs most days (except the 2 days I lift), eg. only water, 0 cal soft drinks, black coffee/green tea.

Im currently on the warrior diet, which is to fast for 20 hours a day, save for eating raw fruits and vegetable (juices mostly) sparingly during the fast.

I was wondering though, about leuceines...

we all have our own philosophy. considering that you're training 2 x a day, 6 days a week @ high intensity (either anaerobic or HIIT), I would suggest 3600-4200 and given your bodyweight, Id shoot...

yeah, im referring to gout here. if there's a family history of it, i dont know about it and parents are pretty open about their medical history with me. i dont know of any aunts, uncles or cousins...

It seems like the RICE (Rest - Ice -Compression - Elevation) method does help and it's worse in the winter. last year, i was miserable from september to just this past april.

Heres my thing.. I'm 30 years old and I've spent the better part of my 20s in excruciating pain. Knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, etc.. I was convinced for years that I had arthritis. I've spent too...

All very good ideas from Bateman, Jag, Det4k..

I was wondering about that Det - going heavier than bodyweight for abs, w/ emphasis on lower abs.

I've done alot of captain's chair leg lifts,...

even at my lowest ever bodyfat percentage of approx 8%, my lowest 2 abs on the six pack have never been visible - just a large rectangular deficit where they otherwise would be. there was almost...

thanks for the input fellas.

i understand the importance of fat in the diet. I do get at least .4-.5 grams daily on a regular basis w/ an emphasis on omega 3s and monos. I even go crazy on the...

I seem to have gotten great results on a nearly ketogenic diet (less than 100 grams of carbs daily) and following the 1+ gram of protein per lb of bodyweight and .4-.5 grams fat per lb of bodyweight....

I do take fish oil, 8 g daily. Not sure if it helps. sometimes I feel like it does but it might be a placebo effect.

My knees have been very sore lately but I'm having trouble isolating what exactly I'm doing (or not doing) to make them sore.

Squats were bothering my knees for sure so I switched to leg-presses....

Hey Chris,

I read a reprint of an article you wrote in which you promoted eating 50% above maintenance intake for 3 days during a diet to remain in "nitrogen balance".

Is this 3 day surge in...

I always read about how cortisol rises significantly after 40 to 60 minutes of exercise. What if I want to play 60 minutes of sporadically intense recreational basketball (sometimes intense,...

Do you cook your vegetables in olive oil or is the only fat you get from the meat itself?

I've been getting good results from the warrior diet and now that I'm getting close to my leanest ever, I thought I might supplement with oral leucine since oral administration of aminos has been...
