Video of the week.

Next two links are awesome. One is on the importance of sleep and the other is stress. These two components are just as important as the time you spend in the gym.

Deadlifts! Always a good choice. Keep in mind that the properly-done kettlebell swing does almost the same thing for your body, and most of these benefits apply to men as well.

Anyone who really wants to delve into the minutia (and read past the tabloid nutrition headlines funded by processed food companies) about what eating meat really does for your body.

Old article, but well worth the read. It pre-dates any kind of popular “diet-culture” interpretation of what a “paleo diet” is, or what has been pretty much bastardized by different cookbooks, etc.

The thing to realize is that the nutrition information presented comes straight from the physical sciences, not from nutritionists that are held to maintain the party lines of what the AHA and ADA claim is healthy.

That’s it for this week. Enjoy!

Video of the week: Nina will make you question everything you read about nutrition:

Someone needs to let the Mongolian restaurant next door know they’re doing it all wrong. Maybe now I won’t get so many funny looks when I fill up a bowl with nothing but a few nuts, some shoots and the rest is meat.

It is amazing how years ago so many mainstream nutrition types blew off a primal diet as a fad, and now how almost all their recommendations look about 95% paleo.

And added benefit of something like the July Challenge where you limit palette options is that some learn they can’t handle certain foods upon reintroduction. That means those foods never really worked for you, but you didn’t realize it until taking them out.

Devil is in the details. Our bodies are designed to operate optimally with a certain amount of sleep, sunlight, and eating foods that align with our physiology.

Our primal connection with dogs helped us to rise to the top of the food-chain. It is in our DNA.

This week’s video. More on food and mental health.

10 Things that are key to gaining muscle and losing fat.
http://main.poliquingroup.com/ArticlesMultimedia/Articles/Article/1480/Ten_Simple_Truths_About_Body_Composition_That_No_O.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2XF3rw7TbjP8lQfpFvGhnqDQl7CetjlxjM2S7rNnlu9bOYOLnCUxi8PSM

I’ve been using what is now called “Intermittent fasting” for a lot of years now. It’s never hurt me in putting on muscle or keeping it. Looks like it didn’t hurt this group either.
http://www.ergo-log.com/time-restricted-feeding-without-positive-or-negative-effects-in-female-strength-athletes.html?fbclid=IwAR3Izur1ppxtwXqoOq-sHzkaKAV4Im_IIpy9BXS5V4m3cR1dP512aLzpNoA

Bone density. We talk now and then about this in class, and this is a specific reason many begin strength training. Things like squats, deadlifts, kettlebell swings, pushups, farmer’s carries, etc. put stress on the system enough to benefit. Additionally, make sure you are getting your magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D, in addition to calcium.

Even the mainstream headlines are getting the message that “chronic cardio” is useless and even harmful.

We see negative press about carb restriction and replacing with fats in the diet. Here are results actual people have when they adopt that strategy. Virta Health is a trendsetter.

Bonus video: You’ll soon see a vegan propaganda video circulating showing several athletes who are supposedly vegan. Here’s the real story on them.

Video of the week: I can’t emphasize how important this is. Very much worth your time to watch this:

People who work hard live longer. This should be no surprise to anyone.

Be my guest to do this goblet squat challenge anytime. I kind of prefer 1,000 feet of lunges to this, but go for it if you are so inclined. Every day is “leg day” at IKSC.

Some of you give me a look of disbelief when I talk about Planet Weakness. I’m not making it up.
https://www.t-nation.com/opinion/planet-fitness-nightmare

A topic or question that comes up frequently is bodyfat percentage and if I test it or not. Here is something I wrote up on it a while back. The pictures shown are really not that far off, either.

This illustration is true for most people. I’ve given this out many times.
