question to the readers...

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2007/01/01, 11:25 PM so in my studies (and in my leisure time) I spend a lot of time reading medical journal archives, etc. Sometimes I come across stuff that is interesting and applicable in the world of strength training... However it is often difficult to understand and occasionally trivial... I want to know if you guys would like me to start posting some of what I come across. They are tough to understand, but I am willing to try and explain some of them. However, there should be a geniune interest, because otherwise I'm wasting time. So who's interested? -------------- Iron and chalk.

ecle5c Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/07/10	2007/01/02, 02:45 PM I think it's a great idea. It would definitely keep some action in this board and allow all of us to learn more.

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2007/01/02, 08:30 PM I didn't realize so many of you actually read this forum... Looks like everyone other than Ron thinks it would be a good idea, so next time I come across anything interesting, I'll post it and we can discuss it here. There were actually a few I was reviewing the other day, I'll pick one and post later tonight... -------------- Iron and chalk.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/01/03, 01:30 PM I have posted tons of studies, tips, tricks, etc. over the years. If they are too technical, or even have some science sounding words in them, folks do not even read them. Make a post that has science behind it telling best way to lose fat, what to do with studies, and noone even responds. They get maybe one reply. Make a 'd*ck' post and it gets 100 responses. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2007/01/03, 01:42 PM Well...this is true...some things are just interesting. But I read your posts bb1...and try my best to understand them.Sometimes I do...sometimes I don't...depends on how the cookie is crumbeling that day:). Anyway...I think most people are like me...they read them. -------------- \\"If you had one shot...or one opportunity to seize all you ever wanted...in one moment...would you capture it...or just let it slip\\" eminem
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2007/01/03, 01:55 PM well in general its hard to read long posts on the comp...hurt smy eyes, even with a flat screen. -------------- Get your bicep curling, cut off shirt, matching workout outfit wearing,flexing in mirror "toned" wanna-be ass , out of my squat rack!

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/01/03, 02:55 PM I don't doubt that from you BA. Reading at all must hurt your eyes. Aside from that, I have to go no further than my leptin post a couple weeks ago. May well be one of the most fascinating aspects of weight loss/gain, control, and what, one, maybe 2 responses? ============ Quoting from bigandrew: well in general its hard to read long posts on the comp...hurt smy eyes, even with a flat screen. ============= -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2007/01/03, 03:04 PM I responded...then you guys moved on to tuna...and law suits. It was very interesting...I would bet many people read it. -------------- \\"If you had one shot...or one opportunity to seize all you ever wanted...in one moment...would you capture it...or just let it slip\\" eminem

flyonthewall Posts: 1,823 Joined: 2005/01/18	2007/01/03, 03:26 PM I have to agree with KC here. Just because no one responds doesn't mean the post isn't read. I read most of the technical posts, but have to admit i get kind of lost sometimes, and i have a scientific background and am used to reading journals. I also have a pretty short attention span, so the shorter and more concise the article, the better. If wrestler is willing to digest and regurgitate in laymens terms, some of the more interesting articles he's read, then I say go for it.
	2007/01/03, 04:30 PM that's a shame BB1. However I can only speak for myself and I mainly post in S/P...with only occassionally roaming to other forums...
Velasca Posts: 441 Joined: 2006/10/26	2007/01/03, 04:38 PM I read them...and from now on I will atleast post a thank you to let you know...any input is greatly appreciated..
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/01/04, 12:32 PM Well, it is nice to hear these things. At least one feels like all the 'effort' is not a total waste. It is in fact all about trying to help the folks on this board. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/01/04, 12:49 PM By the way, hopefully many have taken notice that I stopped posting any 'study' type stuff and have been posting in as relative and simple terms as possible, with always leaving the notation (for simplicities sake, and if anyone wants more in depth feel free to respond so, etc.). Sometimes I feel like I am being too simple, but 'listening' to you folks I am doing the right thing. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2007/01/04, 12:53 PM That is why I asked Ron. To get an idea for what everyone wanted... I'll post an abstract, followed by a link to the full study. After that, I'll give an explanation and then open up for discussion. Anyone that has questions can ask away and I will do my best to help those that take the time to ask those questions. I'll probably be posting mostly in the powerlifting forum, since that is where I normally post most anyways, and most of my research has to do with performance rather than aesthetics. -------------- Iron and chalk.
wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2007/01/04, 12:56 PM and be nice to Andrew. I was asking his opinion too. -------------- Iron and chalk.
shaunbroyhill Posts: 115 Joined: 2006/12/30	2007/01/04, 01:03 PM I wouldn't mind reading some of your material wrestler.... I have a degree in biochemistry with focus on the nutrition and dietary side, and have a knack for liking to learn new things from reliable sources and wouldn't mind reading all the technical things you find.... Even though it seems technical to some people, other people may understand it better and get usefull information on it. Plus if anyone ever has any questions for myself on the aspects I know about (biochemistry, nutrition, supplementation and its effects on the human body, etc.) feel free to ask. I wouldn't mind answering the questions myself and since I hope to learn from everyone, I wouldn't mind teaching a few things as well.

	2007/01/04, 03:57 PM Now why do you have to bring KC into this. She will rock your world and the thread is already getting off topic. -------------- There is no such thing as a stupid questions. Just stupid people who ask questions.

adalos Posts: 174 Joined: 2006/02/04	2007/01/04, 06:06 PM ya, i read them all, but i don't post because it's not my field of expertise and wouldn't even really know what to ask if it's really scientific. however, that doesn't mean i won't try what the overall outcome of the study was in real life. and then, if it works for me, i add it to my day to day life. if it doesn't, i move on to something else.
