I am still barefooting it a couple or three times a week... been doing it in the snow lately, for as long as i can take it... which is around 15 to 20 minutes. I started doing hot yoga once a week for kicks... its really fun. <br /><br />troyHalf Navajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726356217979989075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020854024695206058.post-978281448250465202010-03-23T22:47:57.716-04:002010-03-23T22:47:57.716-04:00Troy: I forgot to ask above how the low PUFA was g...Troy: I forgot to ask above how the low PUFA was going for you.

I will make a post about it later when I get closer to switching.<br /><br />The creatine, as I wrote to Troy, is not something I am "afraid" of using. I am actually excited to try it out and share my experience with it which I am sure will be positive.<br /><br />I have ordered the kelp granules as well and will be using them with the broth as you suggested. I will be ordering and trying the magnesium oil in about a month.Rileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476214732644578220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020854024695206058.post-38151186571850243362010-03-23T22:36:09.875-04:002010-03-23T22:36:09.875-04:00Rosenfelt: Thanks for the motivation.

I think as long as you are consuming it from natural sources and not in large amounts you should be fine. Especially due to the fact that you are active and in good health.<br /><br />Troy: Thanks for the heads up on the creatine. I am not super worried about about of bloat from it. I am going to try the load and see how I react to it.<br />20 rep breathing squats is hellish, but its very good for growth stimulation and conditioning. My goal is to work up to 315.Rileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476214732644578220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020854024695206058.post-26272908928730745622010-03-23T18:16:33.484-04:002010-03-23T18:16:33.484-04:00*reboil the broth with the kelp in it everyday you...*reboil the broth with the kelp in it everyday you have the broth.

To each his own. Everyone has a debate, and I am of the debate you want to do three full body workouts a week. I feel you should only do 1 set for each muscle fiber group to failure. There are three muscle fiber groups. The 20 rep squat works on all three, while working on the "bodybuilder" muscle fiber group especially. If you're going to do just one set that's the best to go. I think you should start off with a 1 rep max, then a 12 or 20 rep max depending on if you're working out the upper/lower body, and then a 30+ max rep set of bodyweight exercises like body squats, pushups, pullups, etc.<br /><br />You need to load up with the extra water weight with creatine in order to get the most results. If you're low bodyfat the extra water weight is hardly noticeable. It increases your strength and endurance by 25% so it's definately worth it. Creatine is considered a natural steroid and it works. If you're self conscious and you are just beginning with weights you might be too mentally weak to take creatine. Not because it is dangerous because it isn't, but because you're too afraid of looking "fat" which you already likely look.<br /><br />Are you taking that magnesium chloride oil or the kelp granules Riley? Those two will also be of great help. I would now say try 3 oz of magnesium chloride in a bath once a week. After three months reduce that amount down to 14 tspn magnesium baths once a week. Have 4tspns of kelp flakes a day for 3 months and then lower the amount to 1 tspn of kelp flakes a day.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />Dan HoltAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020854024695206058.post-38230711700280820912010-03-23T14:48:16.079-04:002010-03-23T14:48:16.079-04:00I read that you really don't need to creatine ...I read that you really don't need to creatine load, and that loading just increases water retention, causing the puffy look.... they say its just best to just start up with the regular servings. I don't know though, i have never experimented with creatine. I read at Martins B. site that he really likes the 20 rep breathing squats, and i had since added them in once a week or once every other week... the shit is tough.<br /><br />troyHalf Navajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726356217979989075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020854024695206058.post-7756950544383030032010-03-22T23:23:23.451-04:002010-03-22T23:23:23.451-04:00Cool man, I really hope those changes help increas...Cool man, I really hope those changes help increase your strength while maintaining your leanness!rosenfeltchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614387936550581123noreply@blogger.com
