  1. BTW, looking for answers on bb such as this (where everyone is an "expert") is by far the worst avenue to get answers. My advice is, find a good trainer, sit down with him/her. Make a plan, change your eating habits, and follow the plan.
  2. There are a lot of factors, all interacting with each other. One of the biggest obstacles people struggle with is lack of muscle tissue. "Glycolysis involves breaking glucose (sugar) into two pyruvate molecules, with the corresponding release of ATP. Also as a result of the reaction, high energy electrons are produced that must be picked up by a special compound (NAD) that carries electrons around in the cell. What happens next depends on whether oxygen is available or not. If no oxygen is available (anaerobic), the NAD eventually becomes saturated with electrons and the cell must find a way to get them off the NAD. It can do this either by converting pyruvate to ethyl alcohol (yeast cells) or to lactic acid (many animal cells, including human muscle cells). The result is that NAD is regenerated, more glucose is split in half, and more ATP is produced. Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in muscle cells when oxygen can't be delivered fast enough. But this is only a temporary solution to the energy needs of the cell. Both lactic acid and ethyl alcohol can interfere with cell function when they reach high concentrations--leading to fatigue of muscles and death of yeast cells. If oxygen is available, then the pyruvate is transported to the mitochondria where it is burned to produce ATP during aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration involves stripping high energy electrons (associated with carbon-hydrogen bonds) from organic compounds (including carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) and using the energy to make ATP. Aerobic respiration takes place inside the mitochondria. Pyruvate is converted, through a complex cycle of reactions (called the Kreb's cycle) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and NADH (a compound carrying the high energy electrons). These reactions take place in the middle of the mitochondria (the matrix) and results in the production of lots of high energy NADH. The electron transport system is a system of molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria that convert the energy of NADH into ATP.. So where does the oxygen come in? Oxygen is the final electron acceptor that picks up the "energetically spent" electrons as they come tumbling out of the electron transport system. The compound produced when this happens is water. For many desert animals, this metabolic water is the primary source of water in their water balance." Some animals have what is called "brown fat" and it can burn it in that tissue. Humans (beyond infancy) can do this process in muscle only. Hence if a person doesn't have enough muscle mass developed, the whole "eat less and exercise more" principle goes out through the window.
  3. The question is- are they really sane?
  4. Except that Poland is one of the most nationalistic, homophobic and antisemitic countries in Europe. Besides that we are likable....
  5. Oh please! The younger guy lived there for a whole year! If I go postal and start blowing shit up and killing cops, don't blame it on my birthplace. These are the same fucked up individuals as Cleabolt or Rudolph.
  6. I would wait a bit, before making assumptions. I think press was already wrong one in regard to making arrest.
  7. spilled my morning coffee......

    Saw Sabbath (think) 6 years ago. Pretty pathetic, Ozzy could not even remember the lyrics in couple of the songs. On the other hand Maiden kicked some serious ass, made all these new wannabe look like a child play. Want to see a good metal show, see Iron Maiden.
  9. 130k gun deaths in the US? Inaccurate. My cat is smarter than you correct, pressed 1 by mistake. However just to put it into perspective, it is higher per year, then death toll in Iraq and Afghanistan (on both sides). I bet your cat would not have pressed 1 "by mistake" you dumbfuck clownpuncher. I bet your fat mom would.
  10. 130k gun deaths in the US? Inaccurate. My cat is smarter than you correct, pressed 1 by mistake. However just to put it into perspective, it is higher per year, then death toll in Iraq and Afghanistan (on both sides).
  11. In the meantime US Senator ensured our own gun death industry continue to kill 130K per year in the US. Really- Boston explosions are nothing in comparison.
  12. No, diet is. btw, inside the cell, you don't burn fat anyway. It's a simpleton physiology.
  13. For a stellar season! He managed to redpoint another classic (and totally hard) 14a- To Bolt or not to be. Rudy, stop feeding your kids mutagen!!!
  14. Oh enlighten us oh wise one!!! My cat is smarter then you.....
  15. I am just pointing out the mistake you are making. The leader of the group was from Egypt. There were 3 nationalities involved. So why not target all? Like I said before- a knee jerk reaction worked great with the japs during WWII? wtf?
  16. Hmm, let me see.... actually you are incorrect. 15 were from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt and one from Lebanon.
  17. That is totally wrong, maybe workout like that when you are 80. Interval training and weight lifting will jack up your heart rate, period. 95% of people I observe in the gyms are just time wasting wankers, who lack motivation. I just observed crossfit comp in Vegas last months. 120 wall balls (men 20 lbs, toss it above 12ft line after full squat), 90 double unders and 30 muscle-ups- 12 minutes! People don't get six pack because they work out and can talk! Cardio is ineffective in weight loss.
  18. Pretty much sums it up: [video:youtube]8pHOwP2mOs8
  19. This is by far THE WORST approach in regards to public security. And this has nothing to do with political correctness, but with due diligence in investigative work. National origin my ass- reminds me on a knee jerk reaction of putting Japanese nationals into concentration camps. Worked great- didn't it?
  20. You are mistaken- this would never happen, if people were free to construct bombs, so they could defend themselves with them.
  21. in most such cases it's user error. I have hard time believing, that Petzl (or any other reputable company) would put a defective item on the market. I doubt a sawn sling has anything to do with it. Like the poster in the link said: most likely scenario- the carabiner was kicked, leading to cross loading. So actually a tightly sawn draw would have prevented this, vs Susan's advice.
  22. It will be equally important what you eat and how you exercise. If you really want to change composition of your body, you'll need to incorporate a diet reach in protein, fat ( and I mean healthy fat, not from a cheeseburger) and eliminate simple carbohydrates. You will also need to employ a lot of weight lifting (4-5 days a week). Split your time 50/50 upper and lower body. Cardio is pretty much worthless for losing weight. Also you'll have to deal with your stress- fat around the middle part is a sure sign of cortisol access (in vast majority of cases caused by prolonged and high levels of stress).
  23. with a stupidity vaccine I suppose? Gee, my cat is more intelligent than this wing-nut. Makes you wonder about people in her district.....
  24. now, SHE IS on intelligence committee!!! I feel safer now!

    Oxymoron

    No comment needed. She is a complete imbecile [video:youtube]wBILQ_x49SE
