One of the funniest things he ever mentioned was "DON'T DEADLIFT. IT'S DANGEROUS." I raised my hand and said, "Yeah. but so is crossing the street if you don't know how to do it properly." I had to laugh it off because it seems that I said it a lot more sarcastically and cynically than I had planned so I emphasized the part of "doing it right" afterwards so he didn't think I was just trying to be a smartaleck (which I was). Anyways...back on topic.

I've been fortunate enough that in my nutrition classes, my professors understood the difference in nutrition for performance and nutrition for survival. They actually referred to the RDAs AND the PDI's (Performance Daily Intakes) in most everything they discussed.
Fact is, as advanced as a nation as we are, performance nutrition has remained relatively untouched. Even something like 90% of elite athletes have severe nutritient defenciencies (which may speak to the importance of genetics in reaching that level, but that's not my point). Once you get your undergrad work done (which is important) start looking at advanced clinics and specialized courses AWAY from regular academia. I try to attend as many of these types of things as possible, and I pay for my trainers to do the same and it definitely pays off in the long run.

i agree with ya boyd. ppl are to scared to deviate away from there over-calculated and 'safe' recommendations for intake. they are so worried about what 'harm' it could cause they unwilling to adapt it to something remotely close to what it should be. good advice to deviate away from traditional academia. as an undergrad. you should b trying to get your 'foot in the door' to many other specialty areas/clinics, look for potential places for you to do some postgrad. or more general stuff, depending on your areas of interest  .dont under estimate looking ahead .

Random Fitness Ramblings...
Alright, as mentioned I got two hours of advanced massage work today. I know I go a lot but I have NO doubt that it plays a huge role in my recovery. I sleep better after and the aches and pains I've dealt with over the last several years have vanished. I don't get adjusted as much as I used to, but to be honest, I don't feel like I need to with the amount of massage I get - things aren't getting tugged on as much. Don't get me wrong, as SOON as I feel the need, I'll go visit one of my chiros, but I'm not on a weekly or every other week schedule like I have been in the past.
Switched my cartilidge support supp from Osteo BiFlex to the Pharmanex version. Don't get me wrong, I love the Osteo BiFlex, and you can get it anywhere, but I get a good deal on the Pharmanex brand and to be fair, I thought I'd give it a try. I'll call a spade a spade and if I start feeling aches that have been gone with my BiFlex usage, I'll dump it and go back to the oldie and goldie. I've also went back to a little extra stretching a couple of times per week. Not just 2-3 minutes either. I'm going to dedicate at least 30 minutes per week to some intense stretching. Not really Extreme (DC) style, but enough to make sure I'm keeping limber and not losing range of motion. I'd venture to say that my wind is better than it has been in a couple of years as well. Texas is HELL on allergies, so when you have asthma and allergies, sh!t gets tough. Whether or not I have mentioned it here, I'm alternating ever 2 weeks with heavy but short rest work (usually supersets). That's why you see me doing iso work on occassion - because it's impossible to keep the intensity with the constant supersetting and giant setting of complete compound exercises. Yesterday, we were talking about extra-curricular type seminars and such. I get a huge listing of those things on a regular basis from different organizations. Since I've been in the field for a while, I have an idea which ones are worth your time and which ones aren't. They aren't cheap either, so if you're worried about dropping a few hundred dollars on knowledge, I recommend you stay on scholar.google.com (which, btw, is a great site for finding studies). However, most of these seminars are pretty cutting edge and use real world info. There are usually pre-reqs for many of them, but if you're interested, send me your area and I can let you know what you have coming up. I've thought about a few articles I could write, but I realize this is the type of crowd that prefers exacts, although there are exceptions to everything and nothing is the same for everyone. I try to limit my writing here to specifics, but it's probably the hardest thing to write because there are so few of those. Alright, I've rambled long enough... PEACE!

Smoked some back (in between poetry).
Deads warmed u and went to work 495x5 545x3 585x1 605x1 Had to do it... No hesitation, no dragging ass. Bent Rows 225x8 275x3 (just to acclimate 315x5x2 315x3 (grip slipped) Pulldowns 200x15x2 200x11 DB Rows 100x15x2 Rear Delt Flies 40x15x3 Not a lot of volume. I didn't want to do too much direct trap work because my massage therapist is breaking that sh!t up and if I drill them, they get too tight and she can't get it fixed. But I feel a huge difference in what she has done so far. Hopefully I'll be completely fixed in a week or two... My ass is a bit sore STILL from doing stupid lunges on Saturday. NOTHING on me gets that sore for more than a day, but I could still feel them when I got up over 500 in the dead.
