Redefining “Joe SixPac”
Just some Friday fun. In the midst of moving; more on that, later.
You know which one you want to be.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND HOW IT WORKS
Free The Animal is an eclectic writing project about everything since November 2003. 23 years, 5,500 posts, 5 million words.
It's a paid membership blog. Most posts are free and public, but only paid members can comment. What determines whether it's free or paid is when I publish. Monday through Friday, free and public. Saturday and Sunday, for paid members. That's it. Membership info here.
For a good laugh, I suggest taking a look at this video, where one Dr. Delgado “brings science to the masses” by showing how one can “become diabetic” in 6 hours:
I posted about this here:

And Tom did a longer post here:

Richard, I suspect that on a less pleasant day this would elicit a post with some bombs from you!
Heh, I actually have an f-bomb post in mind. Just not enough time, at the moment.
Richard,I love it! Thanks!
either way he has a small package ;-)
Hmmm. I don’t know how alcohol fits into the Big Picture. You see stuff like this, for example:

Oh, Mango, that’s nothing. Check this one out:
At any rate, it’s all just for a giggle.
LOL
lol, cheers for this, nice one!
“You know which one you want to be.”
I would like to be the guy on the left, minus the testicle chin.
When you come back will you please dive into this?

Dr. Eades had this to say about it:

“These hazard ratios don’t mean squat, but if it makes you feel better, add more LC veggies to your lowcarb diet. “
Yeesh, that is one cesspool of a place to comment. You’ve got every flavor of ignorance rolled into one.

Marc,
Consider the source….Ornish
Whatever happens to Niamh blogpost?
I took it down, which I’ll explain in a separate post, later.
Richard,
Just in case you weren’t aware- the “Niamh” post is still very much intact on facebook.
Keep doing what you do brotha!
Thanks Daniel. Hadn’t see the negative comments over there. But anyway I removed the post.
Gotcha. Good luck with moving!
I love that Dr. Ornish recommends “nonfat dairy and egg whites in their natural forms”. You know, because dairy is naturally nonfat, and Nature would not be so cruel as to include – gasp! – cholesterol-rich yolks in its eggs.
Of course, there is no shortage of people who claim to have unlocked the fountain of youth with a low-fat plant-based diet, but until I see one of these people squat bodyweight x2, I will continue to be dismissive.
That x2 BW on the squat is going to be tough for me. That’d be about 340-350. I can definitely see that coming in deads within a couple of months (I’m at 295 x 8 right now). I was at 215 x 6 on squats but I and my trainer were increasingly unhappy with my form, so I dropped back to about 145 x 8 and have been adding 10# per week, now back up to 175 x 8 but with better form and a deeper squat. Not quite ATG, but definitely in the hole, below parallel.
