Great articles from CT and Chad and no more burning throat from mag10! This is the best update in quite a while I must say.
What are you guys planning on for next week?
I wonder if a new 4-AD is going to be available after the mag-10 craze dies down a bit.
Agathos - Next week: hot lesbian action.

Aren’t you ALWAYS planning on “Hot Lesbian Action”?
Stop the talk, it’s time to deliver, damnit!

Thats a Fucked up story about Carl,TC. If I ever met that guy I wouldn’t feel sorry for him I’ll have a few word w/ him.
I hate people lying about something they don’t have especial a diesease like cancer. Becuase, everyone feels for you if you say you got it. And they try and help you any way they can.
Although, for me I like to do things on my own. And I don’t want that help. It is nice of them to offer but don’t treat me like I am a sick person. Because I am not! I think people w/ cancer like to do things on there own unless they are really sick and they are in the hospital. We don’t like hand outs ect. Same w/ something like ADIS (which by the way is out there just not talked about that much).
Sorry, this post was so long the reason I post this is to say that most cancer patients are strong indvduals and they really don’t want the help that people give them. It’s nice but we like to do things on our own. Postive thinking is the only way to beat this disease.

Accentuated Eccentric Training was a great article, I do however have a question.
I am VERY new to weight training have been going for the last I beleive 3 weeks, 2-3 times a week to the gym and am going to try and increase that to 5 times now that my schedual has opened up a bit.
However I work out alot at home, just simple things like pushups, ab work and I fortunately stole a chin up bar from my father before I moved out of the house so while Im far from a full set I am working hard on the eccentric part.
Pushups are a big thing for me now, my numbers are super low and im pretty embarassed by it, now does emphasising the eccentric part of a push up aid in the building of the muscles involved? I know it does for chins, but the article said that its not important for all exercises (I think deads would be a good example, but I could very likely be wrong.)
Thanks,

Jordo - You’re better off putting this question into the “Lair of the Ice Dog” forum, which is run by the author of that article. Or start a new topic in Training/Nutrition.
Welcome to the forum!
