    Sweat/Sauna Suits - are they a fad?

    I meant burn less fat, though I'm not sure what I said is right. Basically ignore me! But with regard to the actual product, well it may or may not do what they say (I'd say not) but either way they are misleading customers with fancy references that don't match the statements. This would be...

    Sweat/Sauna Suits - are they a fad?

    Your body wishes to regulate body temperature at 37 degrees c as this is the temperature at which our body's processes work most efficiently. During exercise your body heats up and you begin to sweat, this is the method the body uses to lower heat. Basically your body uses the process of...

    Sweat/Sauna Suits - are they a fad?

    The 'benefits' stated: I had a quick glance at the referenced article: 'Cheung, S. S., & McLellan, T. M. (1998). Heat acclimation, aerobic fitness, and hydration effects on tolerance during uncompensable heat stress' From the abstract: Interesting, it doesn't seem to say anything about...

    Philosophy is dead...?

    When you start creating theories based on the unobserved and the unobservable it's pointless. At least with gravity we can observe its effects and extrapolate.

    Philosophy is dead...?

    It seems to me massively irrelevant, and as untestable as any god.

    Rant of the week.. The F word on adult tv and violence in video games

    I think censorship is a good thing (in moderation).

    Rant of the week.. The F word on adult tv and violence in video games

    Censoring swear words teaches children (and some adults I reckon) that they're taboo. Remove censorship and the taboo will be eroded, swearing will be seen as more acceptable.

    Philosophy is dead...?

    My thoughts really. The human mind has no answer to nothingness.

    How is this diet?

    Why is it always porridge and toast on brown bread for breakfast? :confused: Ditch the porridge and have egg and bacon instead. Keep the toast if it makes you happy but only one piece and add full-fat delicious butter (not margarine). It's better for you and more delicious. If you think...

    Carbs how much per day? Time to lose weight again.

    Insulin doesn't just store carbs in fat cells, it inhibits the release of energy from fat cells also. Of course in general following any sensible restricted calorie diet will result in weight loss, but I would still say of the three macronutrients carbohydrate is the least beneficial one to...

    Carbs how much per day? Time to lose weight again.

    My personal opinion is that the best way to a better body composition is to ditch most of your carbs completely. Elevated insulin levels are not good for fat loss, and consuming a lot of carbs will cause insulin levels to rise (whether sweets or wholemeal pasta). Try to keep carbs to <100g a...

    In Mensa!

    Please explain how being horny ends up with you getting a camera, taking a picture of your willy, uploading said picture and then posting said picture on a website. I mean, perhaps I'm being dense, but don't most people just crack open their favourite filthy website and get on with business...

    In Mensa!

    I just cannot understand why anyone would ever post pictures of their willy on the internet... :confused: Can anyone explain the rationale? I mean The Sophisticate surely you're best placed to explain, what was the motive behind it? Honestly... why did you put your willy on the internet? TELL...

    *** The 2010 Gym Rats Thread ***

    You're probably going too 'deep' (on most exercises a good thing!). I can't remember the specifics but basically going too low (where the elbows are above the shoulder) puts a lot of strain on the shoulder which can cause injury.

    *** The 2010 Gym Rats Thread ***

    There's an unnerving trend seen here, you eat almost exclusively carbohydrates for breakfast (and mostly sugar too!). Yoghurt Banana Toast Orange Juice 423 calories, 2.5g fat, 81g carb, 18.6g protein (and 47.4g sugars)* Here's a better option: Scrambled Egg (3 Eggs, in 10g butter) 4...

    10k run - good time?

    Treadmills are the running equivalent of partial squats - not a realistic indicator of actual running speed. Get out on the road and run like a real athlete! :p And if you're interested OP: http://www.halhigdon.com/10ktraining/10kinter.htm Higdon's plans are very highly rated in the running...

    Grip

    http://www.myprotein.co.uk/products/liquid_chalk Unless you lather your hands in it it is pretty invisible. If the gym staff start getting arsey either ignore them or move to a decent gym! Most people who suffer from grip issues when deadlifting typically just have sweaty hands. :)

    Jesus Christ! Don't forget to put your seat belts on!

    I know two brothers. Both are modest and affable people, two of the nicest people I've ever met. Both are policemen in the Thames Valley force. I think that some are simply suited to the level of responsibility and inherent power you have as an Officer and for good reason their training...

    Jesus Christ! Don't forget to put your seat belts on!

    Not being funny mate but you seem to think that what you experience is tantamount to what everyone else experiences. Just because you never see a banger being pulled over doesn't mean it doesn't happen... you are not the center of the universe. What should the speed limit be then? Don't...
