Digging Through the Archives

Here are a few of my older blogs that you may have missed, never seen or will give you a nice recap. I think you will all enjoy having the chance to read some blogs that may have gotten “lost in the shuffle of time”.
Secret Superfood - This is a good one about a common [...]

A Quickie While at Orientation

I am actually at the Folger Library for my UMaine Graduate School Orientation as I write this quick blog. We had about an hour and a half for lunch, and as I am still conditioned to eating food as rapidly as possible from years of eating-while-coaching at CP, I had well over an hour to [...]

Creatine: Villain or Scapegoat?

A CP client just sent me an article on abcnews.com that asks the question “Did Creatine Lead to Compartment Syndrome Cluster?”
The article alleges that creatine may have caused 13 members of the McMinnville High School football team to be hospitalized with severe muscle problems.
This article is an example of absolutely awful sensationalist reporting. It makes [...]

Summer in Maine

This past weekend I paid a little visit to CP. It was nice to see some friendly faces, do some coaching, catch up with the staff and get in a brutal 20 minute Prowler push medley (after doing some other strong man work).
I hate the Prowler, and I hate EC for programming that the day [...]

Awesome Hybrid Fruits & McStatins?

So today I was simply planning on writing about one of my new favorite grocery store finds - hybrid fruits. I will get to those in a moment, but something was brought to my attention this morning that was so earth-shatteringly (is that even a word?) stupid I was at a loss for words.

Good News for Low Carbers

While I am of the mind that quality of carbs is just as important, if not more so, than quantity of carbs, I do recognize the fact that low-carb diets work well for a lot of people, and can be especially beneficial as a dietary intervention in people with certain conditions (like diabetes and epilepsy).
Unfortunately [...]

New Research on Rooibos Tea

I came across some really interesting new research that I thought I would share with you guys.
There was a recent study looking at the effects of green and black tea, as well as rooibos tea on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). I have written about tea many times, check here and here for more.

On a quick aside, [...]

The Benefits of Exercise

A former client sent me an interesting article about exercise. We have known for a long time now that exercise is the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth.
Exercise improves quality of life in innumerable ways. It improves cognitive function, cardiovascular health, improves blood vessel function, improves mood and decreases risks for a [...]

Stuff You Should Read

Now that I have had a little time to catch my breath this week, and actually get in three quality training sessions, I have been able to not only blog consistently, but do a little reading as well.
I love reading blogs as I find they can often offer little tidbits of wisdom that often get [...]
