I think we’ve discussed this in the past and I’m pretty sure we both have access to responsibly raised beef. My chicken, on the other hand, is mass produced and probably has a horrible life. My wife went vegan for the ethical reasons and I’m right there with her. I guess I ought to switch over to more beef and pork since I can buy the whole animal and it’s raised locally with a normal life.
Will your sister-in-law eat anything that you personally kill? I believe your avatar used to be picture of you with a freshly killed turkey. It doesn’t get much more ethical than killing wild game for the purpose of population control. That’s good for the whole flock.
That’s a good progression. I went to a conference back in '08 and someone cited a recent research study that stated that 3 x 10 with 60 sec rest did a good job (not sure if it was the best or just better) of increasing testosterone naturally. I’ve used 60 sec rest for all of my sessions since LOL!
I’m completely used to it. I can kill myself and get my heart rate up to 180 and I’m usually back down to 120 or less within a minute of resting. Now that I’m pushing my conditioning more I set the timer for 45 sec which usually has me back to the bar/weight by the 60 sec mark. CT’s Built 4 Battle program says the 60 sec rest interval is for people who are in decent shape so I guess I’ve succeeded at something with my training.
And yes, I do hunt and try to buy local when possible. But no, she is full vegan, no bending of rules regardless of how it was raised/killed.
Well lets add that to the list of pros for using this program!
This is definitely a goal right now. It would be a stretch for me to say I’m in decent shape presently. I do think I can get into decent shape pretty quickly/easily though, which is an OK spot to be.
I’ve just seen a program about reducing Co2 they stated that if a family had one vegan day a week, they would reduce Co2 with what was equivalent to driving a car from Denmark to China about 7000 km.
They also said that meat from: cows, pigs, sheep, and the likes were the ones responsible for a lot of Co2.
But I think going vegan once a week can’t hurt, but it sure sounds boring.
Good luck with the new program/template.
Have you thought about Krypteia, that was the shit over at the Wendler forum.
Yeah, there are definitely a lot of additional factors that can make one consider reducing meat consumption. It definitely interests me, as I try (albeit, not as hard as I should) to reduce my footprint/waste.
Yeah once a week, or 1 vegan meal per day isn’t so bad.
I hadn’t actually looked that closely at Kryteia before, just taking a peak at it now, cycle 1 looks like exactly the same program as Prep and Fat Loss Training. Then it just varies supplemental/assistance throughout the next cycles. This might be a better route to take so that I have better progression through the program.
Thanks for suggesting it, I’ll take a closer look at it this weekend and might just jump on it!
I don’t have the books, and I’m not that familiar with prep and fat loss.
Krypteia: The first cycle is four days, wereas the real krypteia bites you, with 3 days, ditching OHP.
Jim stated that THIS was the ultimate program… But I guess he have found some new ones since.
Choose by heart Sleepy, the one that you likes the most.
EDIT: I’m a cheap bastard, and it costs af fortune to send to europe.
It’s cheap here by comparison but I don’t have it. I don’t think the program could change that much and I don’t need a bunch of assistance templates. I can work that out on my own.
The thing about one family doing a vegan day once a week for Co2 or whatever it is, it will literally make zero impact on the world whatsoever. However if alot of families did it that’s a completely different story.
You can’t go through life thinking like that my man!
That’s the attitude that heavily impacts low voter turnouts. One family has to do it before a lot of families do!
That’s exactly what I thought! Our union at work has had low voter turnout for our contract in years past. 43%! Apparently 57% of our members didn’t have the time to vote about potential pay increases. It makes us look weak.
Well… Humans are going to go extinct because of what we’ve done to the environment. A bunch of nuclear reactors could melt down = bye… Globar warming = bye. nuclear war= bye. No water or food to feed the ever growing population = bye…
Thousands of species are now extinct because of humans. Ecosystems destroyed. Ocean reefs destroyed,Polluted air, Polluted ocean, Rubbish everywhere. Oil rig spills, Rubbish dumped into the ocean, Sewerage… pedophiles walking free while someone caught growing weed gets locked up, Corrupted goverment, pedophiles,Rapists,Murderers,Serial killers, Sociopaths, Liars,Thieves, Scum,Pyschopaths roaming the earth, People in positions of power like Donal trump that are completely stupid Etc. What one person does won’t help the world at all. World is stuffed. Humans have ruined it. To think humans could have lasted until the sun dies. Not anymore lol. I got a bit carried away but basically I’m an advocate for helping those in need. Not the world though, Theres nothing i can do
Believe me, there are days where I start fumbling down the road of thought you’re on. This is basically the “we are fucked, so why try” mindset. This is the mindset that is GUARANTEED not to help make a difference in making the world a better place. I’m old/mature enough now, that I’m not comfortable simple living in ignorance of the consequences of my actions. I’m nowhere near perfect, but have implemented simple things into my daily routines to reduce my waste/impact.
You do have the power to change the way you act and advocate for others to do the same. If everyone starts reducing their waste, or reducing their consumption of non-renewable resources, etc., etc., we can at least reduce the impact we are having on the planet which I’m sure we can all agree is better than nothing.
Yes, if you alone reduced your carbon footprint, you will not save the world. If everyone starts reducing their carbon footprint, we can have a huge impact on the health of our planet. Are you part of the problem, or part of the solution?
Well, I was good with my nutrition last week and then completely ruined it this weekend.
We finished up our holiday visiting this weekend. Dinner and drinks both Friday and Saturday night and a large brunch with family on Saturday morning. I did get out for a game of pond hockey yesterday, but no workouts.
Woke up at 221.8lbs. +0.2lbs from last week. Sunday morning will be my official weigh in for the week, but I’ll try to also grab a few through the week to catch any fluctuations.
See this won’t happen. Unless all countries come to the same conclusion and leaders find ways to stop this, then It doesn’t matter who i try to convince or advocate these things to, Theres 7 billion people in the world. People are too selfish and just want to be rich so they’ll keep fucking the environment. The goverments are corrupted. They’re not going to change. Theirs always going to be corrupted and horrible people in this world. Think of people hunting animals for sport? Animals that havent been driven extinct but are close to people still hunt for fun anyway. I’m pretty sure they know its wrong. They just need to be trialed and put in prison. Think of foreign countries hunting whales, the us goverment can’t do anything about that. It’s not in their jurisdiction or my goverments either.
That’s good of you to do that, and I’m not saying i don’t either. My mates will litter but I’ll simply refuse and put it in the bin. It doesnt matter to me if it’s “Cool.” Or not. Its the weong thing to do. the fact is individually you’re not saving the planet. Like you said If everyone though… anyhow humans are doomed
Sure, we aren’t in the best place in terms of global health, but there have been some recent shifts/initiatives that have at least shown hope in improving/cleaning up some of the damage that we have done. I’m not saying you have to go out and protest the next forest destruction, but just be aware of your own personal contribution to the negative impact and do your best to minimize it.
