Silk 10 Day Challenge
I love a nice tall cold glass of skim milk. Even so, for quite a while I have flirted with the idea of giving up milk entirely. My desire to give up dairy caused me to think of all the areas that I use it on a daily basis. I use it for cooking, baking, cereal, smoothies and in my coffee not to mention ice cream or frozen yogurt. The problem for me with dairy is the caloric intake, cholesterol, and the fact that dairy does not always love me back. For someone with sinus trouble, I have been told that dairy products and sinuses do not get along. Then enter the Silk 10 Day Challenge. I thought it was a cute idea but I did not have high hopes that Silk could replace milk in all areas.
Trip to Sorinex for Summer Strong #4 – Part 1
Hello DIESELS!
I want to sit down for a while and start telling you about my fantastic trip to Sorinex two weekends ago.
Before I get into that, let me just tell you that if you EVER get the chance to go to Sorinex, do it. Their place rocks. Not only will you get to try some of the most outstanding grip equipment in the world, but they also have a completely fully functional training area for the rest of your body as well. Awesome.
With that, I also suggest that if you ever get invited anywhere for a strength training get-together, DO IT.

Mike won one of the weekly challenges a few weeks back, in the One Hand Dumbbell Snatch. When he received his shirt, he immediately threw it on and did some Grip Training, and this is what he did

Two Hand Pinch Holds are great for developing thumb strength, full hand strength, and for endurance.

May 31, 2011 — The iconic Food Pyramid is coming down on June 2, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) tells WebMD in an exclusive interview.
What will it be? The USDA won’t say until June 2 — but WebMD sources confirm media reports that the new icon will be a plate, showing the relative proportions of healthy foods one should eat at each meal.
Why a new icon? The pyramid really does not capture the public’s attention anymore, and the new icon heralds a “monumental effort” to improve America’s health, Robert C.
