December 9, 2010

After attempting to relay the benefits of low to no carb eating to type II diabetics (T2D) on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) web forum to no avail, I decided instead to do some searching around the web.

Strength is Strength

September 29, 2010

“Yo, how much can you bench?”
“Yo, how much can you squat?”
“Yo, yo, how much can you dead?”
