Too Much Meat Leads to Weight-Gain Over Time
Meat, whether it is beef, pork, chicken, or fish, is a high-energy food, meaning every bite has a lot of calories; unlike vegetables which have fiber, making them low-calorie foods. Meat does not contain fiber.
And new research claims all those calories from meat may turn into extra bodyweight over time.
Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists analyzed more than 370,000 individuals, 100,000 men and 270,000 women, from 10 different European countries participating in a cancer study.
Over a 5-year period, both men and women gained an average of about one pound a year, and the more meat a person consumed, the more they gained.
Intense Upper Body Training – Upper Body Crush Lifts
Share
WARNING
This Training is Intense
This post will show you how to incorporate a new style of training that can be used as a finisher for your chest, back, arm day, or wherever else you’d like to place it in your training.
I’ve recently re-introduced myself to a pretty cool new training method that I call Upper Body Crushing.
I originally discovered this type of training when I was researching for and outlining my Nail Bending eBook. I was looking for ways simulate the movement pattern of crushing steel down to the minimum two inch distance between the handles, and learned about chest crushing a #4 gripper using upper body strength
and power.
What I found out at the time was I was already bending steel that was harder to crush down than the handles of the #4 gripper. How
Eating Fish May Lower Risk of Eye Disease
Consuming fish has been linked to a myriad of health benefits, mostly due to omega-3 fatty acids, which have been associated with decreased risk of cancer and heart disease.
And according to a new study in the journal Ophthalmology, older adults eating fatty fish – such as salmon, mackerel, and albacore tuna – at least once a week may have a lower risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leading to vision loss.
For the study, experts analyzed data from over 2,500 adults, ages 65 to 84, who completed dietary questionnaires and underwent eye exams; 15% were found to have early or intermediate-stage AMD and less than 3% had advanced AMD.
Researchers found participants with higher intake of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, consuming one or more servings a week, were 60% less likely to develop advanced AMD, than those consuming less than one serving per week.
However, the scientists insist this does not prove eating fish is directly linked to reduced risk of AMD.
But a major concern among fish eaters and non-fish eaters is mercury. Man
Metabolic Core Training Exercise – Great for Conditioning and Power

Cool Metabolic Core Training Exercise
Great for Conditioning and Power
Check out this cool exercise from Martin Rooney. He demonstrates the proper execution of the movement with a powerful rowing motion with the arms and an explosive flexion at the hips. Pulling in the lats and upper back is key to any real core training movement.
The great thing about this exercise is that it is very metabolic. Because it incorporates the whole body and it is done at a high intensity, your conditioning and your metabolism get spiked.
It is a win-win movement.
Don’t be fooled though, it will mess you up. Trying to hit 3-4 sets at 20 reps will be very tough and getting your torso off the ground near the end is murder.
Sit and Row
As you can see, there is a powerful hip flexion and row. As soon as the end position is hit, another rep is engaged. You must also control the flow of your breathing and not hold your breath.
When can you hit this movement?
Kill it between your supplemental workouts after your primary sets, during a finisher after the workout or on a totally separate “extra” workout.
Try it and try to hit the 4×20 volume! Leave a comment with how you did!
Hope you enjoyed the drills, please “like” the video on YouTube.
