OK, guys, explain these mythical “A” skips for those of us who didn’t grow up with an athletic background.[/quote]
Walking A’s are drills used to teach proper mechanics and coordination when running.
You basically march, with emphasis on arms, shoulders, knees, and ankles, ensuring that each does what it’s supposed to when it’s supposed to.
This was the best pic I could find. 
What are you wearing, er, I mean ,how goes it? ARE YOU READY FOR BC??-Jules
Hey Dave,
What % concentration of “active ingredient” (EPA+DHA) do you look for in a FO supplement? Just curious about your preference.

Absolutely! I was just booking flights with my brother, and we’re pretty psyched!

Well here is what the label says.
Natural Fish oil concentrate 850mg
EPA + 240mg
DHA + 200mg
Perfect, now we even have fish oil ethyl ester. Can fish oil-AKG be far behind?

Doc Lonman, literally every brand of fish oil cap I have seen has been 180:120mg EPA:DHA per gram of oil. Even the funky tasting enteric coated caps claim this.
Dave,
When is your bulking article going to see the light of day? I can’t wait to read it.
Any tidbits of advice? Thanks!

CH, I am getting my creatine article out to peer review tonight, and have finished my secret project this afternoon.
This means that the bulking article is next on my list, as long as the web site keeps going well.
Having said that, 3 of my top 8 bulking tips have already been written up, so it’s just a matter of “finding the groove” and writing up the other 5.
As a bit of a heads up, the article may be a little controversial -but then again, I’m the guy who loves sucrose and Pop Tarts, so what do you expect?

P.S Are concentrated or more omega 3’s better for you?
[/quote]
GL, I’m still having trouble with the whole “more concentrated” issue. I’m not saying that it’s bs, but I don’t think enough research has been done to say how this is done, or who does it etc.
I mean, my enteric caps claimed the standard dose of EPA and DHA, but according to your brand, they should have a higher concentration.
As long as it’s not cost prohibitive, right now I’d keep using them and get your ~3g of omega 3’s per day.
What’s up with you not answering my email, Barr? You trying to dodge me?

Crap, between you, Doc Ryan, and Get Lifted, people are going to think that I never reply to emails (or PM’s).
Can we hear from people who ask questions via emails/PM and to whom I respond? LOL
Hey Dave
I did the George Brown College Fitness and Lifestyle Managment Program in Toronto. I want to pusue a carrer in exercise science, but can’t fin much about schools with good programs in Ontario (Toronto would be best). I think York, offers one, but is there any others?
DB,
I eat. A lot. I’ve always been on the bigger side and eating has always been easy.
However, for about the last month, I’ve found that it is getting harder to eat what I normally would. I still get hungry, but 10 mouthfuls in and it’s like I’m still full from a meal I had 3 hours ago. This isn’t normal.
Any ideas on how to speed up digestion (or if that is even the problem)?

jcharles, York has the only such program (that I am aware of) in TO. Of course I’m biased, but the Kin program at UW is top notch.
Another suggestion I have is to ensure that the program tailors itself to your ultimate goal. Exercise science is now broad enough to encompass everything from molecular biology to health studies.
How was the George Brown program?

Massif, any major lifestyle changes or novel stresses in your life?
You couldn’t have come to a better person with this question, because I have natural propensity to consume 1500 Cal/day!
I’m all over liquid meals (blenders are great for “pre-digesting” food).
Snacking is also important, so you don’t get completely full, and can eat again in a few hours.
As a preview of the upcoming article, jack up your nutrient density so you’re consuming more Calories for a smaller volume of food.
BARR -
I called you a Mountee in my thread and you didn’t even notice. HA!
And he must not like you other guys, 'cause he ALWAYS answers my PM’s!
Stay strong

Hey DB,
How goes the development of the new business, will it be up and running soon? Facing any challenges? What services will be offered and will you be partnering with other service providers?
Cue the Western theme music and tumbleweed.
So that’s what a pin dropping sounds like.
Man the crickets are loud tonight.
Just kidding, I got your email today; I’ll give you my feedback tonight.

Bob, the challenges I am facing setting up this business exemplify why I did not continue in Galveston. I’ve been stuck in a lab for so long, that learning a completely new field (or three) is really exciting!
I’m not just learning about business, but also the subtle differences of e-business, along with web site development. I’ve set up a Geocities web site before, but doing a business web site is 1000X more difficult (surprise!). But I have to add that it’s a blast.
For the initial launch I’ll have consultation services set up, along with program design (with several options).
Because I enjoy writing about supplements and nutrition, people may forget that I’m also a strength coach.
Cheers
