I really don’t know why so many young guys want to juice up or just get big naturally. All that muscle will turn into ‘Hogan fat’ when you get old. Nastiest look you’ll find, imo. Keep yourself looking nice, but overdoing anything is just plain ignorant. I call it low self-esteem is why “it’s not good enough” for so many.

stretch,stretch,stretch before working out
Yep, especially if you don’t want to get bulky. It definitely would wreck your golf swing, that’s for sure! Stretching is just good in general, even if you’re not lifting.
I wouldn’t call cheap-campus burgers, McDonalds dollar menu, and Taco Hell better nutrition
Probably explains why you gained all that weight then…

muscle does not “turn into” fat when you get older.
When you stop working out you do lose your muscle mass and as you are not burning off as many calories you tend to start adding fat, especially when you get older. The muscle though does not itself turn into fat

McDonald’s, Taco Bell, etc is all bad for you if you just sit around and let it consume your body. Get off your fat ass and do some walking, jogging, punching, kicking or just do SOMETHING and you can burn off the majority of it. People just sit there and get depressed like, “why am I so fat”. Hmmm, I don’t know, move off the couch and get that fat ass a movin! I know, I know, with some people it’s genetics, but that’d give me more motivation to prove genetics wrong.

David O’Brien-”I doubt that most audio experts would agree with you that MP3 format is as good or better sound quality than you get in a typical CD, particularly in recent years as CD quality has improved. But I’m certainly no expert. I just know what I hear, and what I’ve read on it. Maybe some others familiar with the technology behind it can offer an opinion or some facts.”
I’m no expert per se, but mp3 quality is very close to the quality of CDs. Mostly this depends on the compression (e.g. most mp3s are ripped at 128 Kbps, which is not as pure as an mp3 ripped at 256 Kbps, but offers less compression, or larger file size). In my opinion digital is digital with minimal incremental quality from one speed to the next. Neither CD or mp3 can compete with good old fashion analog (read: that vinyl you’ve got in a closet somewhere) because digital recording merely takes samples of the sound wave and analog records the entire sound wave.
A lot of people think that the mp3 generation prefers this medium simply because that is what they are accustomed to. That is the only format they’ve ever listened to and they are used to and it sounds normal to them. Kind of like people who grew up listening to LPs and prefer the clicks and pops of vinyl.

Quicker recovery and increased stamina to name a couple.
“and helping oyu bounce back quicker and helping with recovery time is not a performance enhancer? really?”
“Prove that it does.”
Prove that it doesn’t. Have you ever used HGH, or do you know people who have used HGH for a prolonged period of time? Wait, you don’t have to answer because I know that the answer is NO.
I have never used it myself, but I work out with people who do and I can tell you that there is a noticeable difference. Both to the person using HGH and to anyone paying attention. That may not be the scientific, peer-reviewed study you are looking for, but you aren’t going to get that on a blog. For every study that says one thing there is a study that says the opposite. But you can’t argue with real life evidence. That is why clinical trials are such powerful tools when bringing new pharmaceuticals to the market and required by the FDA. You won’t find guys at the gym filling out a questionnaire for a guy in a lab coat, but the results are in.

statistics show (here we go again) that LOTS of people are familiar with satellite radio, but that doesnt necessarily translate into subscriptions .
Sirius XM ended the year with about 18.8 million subscribers, adding about 257,000 net subscribers in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Sirius XM’s self-pay subscriber base increased by about 247,000 in the fourth quarter to about 15.7 million subscribers, while total paid and unpaid trials included in the sale of a vehicle remained level with the prior quarter and the prior year at about 3.6 million.
A recent Arbitron study of Satellite Radio subscribers, which was conducted in October and November of last year, shows that Sirius XM (Nasdaq: SIRI) Satellite Radio has over 35 Million “premium” listeners. The results of the study, which were released Thursday, clearly show that Satellite Radio listeners are smarter, richer and more receptive than those that listen to AM/FM.
The Arbitron study found that 32 million of the over 35 million total listeners to Satellite Radio were weekly listeners. Sirius XM listeners were shown to spend an average of almost 3 hours in their cars daily. While in their cars, they overwhelmingly chose Sirius XM 71% of the time. The study found only 17% of ‘time was spent listening to AM/FM radio and only 5% of listeners’ time was spent listening to mobile devices, such as cell phones and iPods.
Satellite Radio listeners were shown to be highly educated. 56% of Sirius XM’s listeners are college graduates or have advanced degrees compared to only 24% of AM/FM listeners. Does this mean that you have to be stupid to listen to AM/FM? Not quite, but close. Based on the study’s results, I guess you could say that Satellite Radio listeners are over twice as smart as those who choose to listen to AM/FM radio.
The Arbitron study found that Satellite Radio listeners are rich. 24% have household incomes of $150,000 and over. This compares to only 9% of AM/FM listeners having incomes of that level. According to the study, these rich Satellite Radio listeners are more receptive to commercials too. Sirius XM listeners were 61% more likely to stay with a commercial and not change the channel than AM/FM radio listeners. This clearly creates more value for advertisers who choose Sirius XM.
Interestingly, the Arbitron study excluded all of Sirius XM’s commercial-free music channels. The study only included Sirius XM’s news, talk, entertainment, sports, and other commercial programming channels. That doesn’t sound fair to Sirius XM. How can that be considered a fair study if you take away all of Sirius XM’s commercial-free music channels? What would the Arbitron study’s results look like if all of Sirius XM’s commercial-free music channels had been included? Game Over.

Metabolism is a real b!tch for some people. Skinny people that can’t gain and obese people that can’t lose. A lot of it is genetic. I don’t care what anyone says, I’ve seen it in my own family. Almost everyone on my mother’s side of the family is overweight. My grandmother was a diet and exercise warrior and it took everything she had to keep her weight under control. I have a different father than my sister and I can eat pretty much anything, whereas she is overweight and struggles. I may gain a few pounds around the holidays, but I can literally lose it in a couple of weeks without trying.
“Life is 98% mental.”
I couldn’t agree more. It amazes me how you see some celebrities who have everything most people desire, yet they are depressed or on drugs or both. Then you see people who most would say “have nothing” and they are happy as can be. It’s all relative.

Tomhawkin, sure, whatever you and ‘Nas’ think. Of course it’s mental. Check out “Salty Dawg” last comment. Celebrities being miserable is a perfect example. It’s your own outlook on life with the way you look, etc. So many people get wrapped up in looks and what they have instead of looking at what you DO have. Those poor people in Haiti had nothing but their lives and for most of them that’s gone. And here in America we watch spoiled brat celebrities fight over who gets the $5m opposed to the $6m.

The HGH discussion. It doesn’t give players strength or energy, but it does help them heal faster. It apparently reverse the effects of aging too. So it doesn’t result in gaining strength, but it does keep players healthy and being able to prolong their careers. Look at the players who have been linked to using HGH:
Mike Bell

Kevin Brown(Deca-Durabolin)

Brandon Larson is that right? A college player hit 40 homeruns in a college season? Wow…

I think that is the one thing that kills me about the steroid era. All these baseball cards I thought would be worth a fortune. The 50 or so Barry Bonds rookie cards I have, the 30 or so Bic Mac rookie cards etc. the list goes on and on. They are seemingly worth crap right now and will never be worth much more. Sure there are some that might still be worth something in the era, like perhaps a greg maddux rookie card. And to think my dad paid a penny a piece for to mickey mantle rookie cards a many a years ago.

it’d be funny to ask Belle to sign those cards as Joey ’sted of Albert… you’d have 2 black eyes and they’d be surgically removing both of your hands from your rear end. I can remember him getting into a fight with fans in Baltimore who called him Joey. I thought he was gonna kill those poor souls- nostrils flaring wide enough to fly a umbo jet into, eyes wide as dinner plates and face flushed with anger. He was like watching Bruce Banner transforminig into the Hulk!

That medical article that Steve from OH copied and pasted on here is far to long and boring to actually read so I am going to vote to dismiss it as evidence.
Solid gold I tell ya! Excellent and riveting! (although I ‘ll admit scientific articles/papers do tend to be that way to the average laymen…but so do things such as UZI, VORP, WAR, WHIPS WACKS and PADYWHACKS to actual ball players…

Eric- yes, it is true. Should still be the college record. Sad thing about that is Brandon is a cool, nice, gentle soul. But 40 homers in college? Man, that looks suspicious! No surprise, the following year is when NCAA enforced the stricter rules on aluminum bats.

All this talk of HGH got me thinking… Why did Viagra drop Rafael Palmeiro as their spokesman after he was revealed to have used steroids. They had the perfect commercial:
“Hi, I’m Rafael Palmeiro, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s performance enhancing drugs…”
