in reference to the Blood Type Diet (and author)

"A search of PubMed under the author's name does not yield any peer-reviewed articles with data to support his claims. For example, his claim that elderberry can be used as a remedy for the common flu lacks scientific evidence and may be misleading."

"D'Adamo claims many ABO specific lectins exist in foods.[1]:23 This claim is unsubstantiated by established biochemical research, which has found no differences in the reactions of lectins with human ABO types. Research shows that lectins specific to a particular ABO type are generally not found in foods (with several rare exceptions, e.g., the Lima bean) and that lectins with ABO specificity are more frequently found in non-food plants or animals."

lol @ Tolga

What Gym/Exercising forums do you guys frequent. I want to talk to some other people who have been through the same back issue as me.

My planking is getting stronger but I'm seeing no discernible reduction in pain in my back.

ausbb.com

there is also aussiegymjunkies.com but bulk of the people on AUSBB are also there.

same same.

I don't think that proraw forum is for you.

I don't post on there Tolga - I joined it to see if Markos had any more wisdom to share, but it's mainly relating to GPC stuff that is of no interest to me.

I sometimes read the Starting Strength forum, but threads tend to derail after 2 or 3 pages

I used to read starting strength, rippetoe can get a bit aggro on there hey!

had another session of crossfit last night.

it is amazing how unfit i am these days. Gone from being able to compete for 3-4 rounds in mma, spar for 12 rounds in boxing

to unable to do 40+ burpees in a single sitting

I hear ya, since cutting back on the gym a little, 35-40min sessions, and not doing any walking or running at the moment I've gained a couple of kgs even thought I've cut back on my food (not enough obviously)

Dem tight pants.

I meant it's not a forum for Dan asking about his injury.

ah yeah fair enough.

I do like that Rip posts on his own forum frequently and yeah I like him and Jim Wendler's No BS, straight talking approach (which was why I also liked the PTC Newsletters and Markos' very dry humour). I still haven't read Starting Strength in its entirety - next up is the 5/3/1 book as I'm intending to start in the next week or so.

I did have question relating to Rip's methods (for the more experienced here) - Is it ok to keep the back neutral and thrust with the upper legs for OHP like Rip teaches, or is that defeating the purpose of the press (legs shoulder width apart, pressing from the chest, not a push press)? It would certainly make it easier to get it out of the bottom.

There strangely enough doesn't seem to be much of an online presence for health and fitness forums in Australia (unless I'm missing something). There is Bodybuilding.com, but their forums are full of broscience phds, blind devotion to IIFYM, supplement company shills (and rajab forbid you ever say anything negative about any supplement ever) and tools. I do like select content there though, like Alan Aragon's writeups.

knees don't bend in the method I am thinking of. hip position change? The starting point (bottom section) of the movement can be trained for sticking point but, mostly that's supporting muscle strength.

yeah hip position change. I used it today, worked well, but my form is quite shit trying to keep the glutes squeezed while doing it.

saw the regular curlbros doing deadlifts for once today, 170kg with completely rounded back. I really wanted to tell them that they were cruising towards snap city, but I thought that these two jersey shore wannabes would likely tell the fat guy who squats 3 times a week to f**k off and mind his own business.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
