Nov 7	comment	Loosening tight muscles? Did you try seeing a naprapath? They are practically chiropractors with more focus on muscles instead of just cracking bones.
Aug 21	comment	Are there any reasons not to blend different types of protein powder? @JohnP what about diversifying the sources of protein to get different composition of vitamins/minerals etc, or decrease the risk of overloading a particular type of nutrition?
Aug 13	comment	Equality of different protein sources +1 fantastic answer!
Aug 13	comment	Does it matter when during the day carb intake occurs? +1 great article. I particularly like the following bit: "Contrary to what many people seem to believe, blood sugar is extremely well-regulated and maintained within a tight range in healthy people. It does not swing wildly up and down like a chimpanzee on meth"
Aug 12	comment	Does it matter when during the day carb intake occurs? What I have heard was from friends, but a google search yields many results on "no-carb-in-the-evening" diet. Just added some more information on the question body.
Aug 8	comment	Does it matter when during the day carb intake occurs? @JohnP I know, I am not frustrated with you in any way, I tried to add more information to make it more relevant to my exercise schedule.
Aug 7	comment	Does it matter when during the day carb intake occurs? @JohnP last I checked nutrition/diet questions with regards to health and fitness were on topic here. I admit that the question might not be well-phrased, and I will try to improve that. It's just good practice and common sense to write a couple of lines when you see something wrong with a question...
Aug 7	comment	Does it matter when during the day carb intake occurs? Why the close vote?
Aug 6	comment	Cardio Alternatives to Running @IvoFlipse good point :)
Aug 5	comment	Cardio Alternatives to Running @IvoFlipse There is a huge difference between running for the sake of running and running in a football game, imho.
Aug 3	comment	Could a thicker pull-up bar explain my inability to do as many pull-ups? At the risk of sounding demeaning or dismissing, I have to point out that the fact that you have gotten stronger in one way doesn't necessarily mean that you are stronger in all muscle groups in your body. Maybe the core muscles have been neglected or something like that. Are you doing the pullups the same way (arms as wide as before) ?
Jun 8	comment	Why aren't fruits allowed on a slow carb diet? I realize that you are not cutting of all carbs, but I'd say fruits are a valuable source for many other things, even if you want to avoid fructose altogether.
Jun 8	comment	Are ninja tuck jumps safe? The link should be OK now.
Jun 8	comment	Are there any benefits to running in the heat? @IvoFlipse: I guess that's as good an answer as this question will get, I think you should formulate your comment as an answer.
Jun 8	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Interesting angle, I'll see what I can do about that. Although I think the anticipation is usually not the problem, I feel. I am usually pretty good in reading the game, which is why it's really annoying to be slow in reaction time, because I usually can see it (e.g. dribble) coming
Jun 7	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Well if I knew some I wouldn't have asked the question here, would I? :) The reason why I made that remark is that the gym over here are typically pretty crowded/densely packed with machines and such. So putting cones and doing intervals in between is simply not possible. But I'll try out some of these exercises outdoors, if I can find some of the equipment like cones or ladders.
Jun 7	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports @DaveLiepmann In that case, as in with your definition, I am very skeptical about being strong will make you faster/quicker. There are lots of people who spend their days at the gym and look pretty much like meat-mountains. I don't anyone of them have any agility, even though they might be able to bench twice their weight etc.
Jun 6	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Thanks for the tips but not sure if those are drills I can do at home or at a local gym.
Jun 6	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Interesting... It looks fun and extremely tough at the same time. But primarily based on how they look in the video, I'd say it has a very suitable name :)
Jun 5	comment	Useful exercises to increase agility/responsiveness for team sports Well I suppose it depends on what you mean by strong. I'm usually very stable on foot, I do not get tackled easily in football for instance. I used to have good reflexes (while weighing about as much as I do now) but the time spent without proper training has slowed me down significantly.
