If this stuff holds up against those bugs out in Africa, I suspect it will perform just as well against the ones lurking around Arlington... 😬

True, though I must admit, it feels a bit steep to me now $37 just to get my hands on 500 grams of whey concentrate. I’ve heard whispers that they’ll be releasing their Premium Whey Isolate quite soon, and word is the packaging will finally move beyond those small 500g tubs, which, if I'm being honest, sounds like a much more sensible way to shop... 😉

But you really did just list them... I noticed your location is set to Palm Springs, and isn't it a curious coincidence that the Pro Nutrition company is also based out of Palm Springs?! It all seems a little too convenient for my liking... 😬

nimbledriver81 said:unfortunately, ramping up your protein intake doesn't automatically equate to more muscle mass, given that there is a physiological ceiling on how fast protein synthesis can actually occur. anything that isn't being utilized for muscle building just gets flushed out of your system—which is why I maintain that overdoing it is essentially just throwing money down the drain.
I am quite uncertain whether you have had the chance to browse the Search website; they have this rather helpful calculator designed to estimate caloric requirements based on your specific level of physical activity. I have personally calculated my own necessary intake, though if I were a professional athlete 😬 , my requirements would likely be double what they are now, so it stands to reason that your needs might be significantly higher than mine.

Of course, I am well aware that a fair amount of that extra protein ends up heading straight for the restroom, but I tend to consume quite a lot simply because I possess a genuine fondness for eating large meals. And, if I am being honest with myself, I may have somewhat overtaxed my digestive system over the years, as I often find myself plagued by cramps if I go even three hours without a snack; I suppose I have a rather low tolerance for hunger.🙂
I haven't spent much time looking at the Search website, but if I were to weigh my total intake against my daily caloric expenditure, I suspect I would find myself in a healthy surplus, as I am certainly consuming more than I burn off. That said, the quality of those calories matters immensely, and timing plays a crucial role as well. Not all calories are created equal, after all.🙂

you are likely aware that one should ideally consume low-GI carbohydrates before training and high-GI ones afterward? also, have you considered measuring your fluid loss during workouts? it is entirely possible you are dealing with dehydration.

Well, I seem to possess a rather peculiar physiological makeup; I have a slender frame with narrow bones and thin limbs—the kind of build people would classify as an ectomorph—and yet, when I indulge in heavy carbohydrates, I find myself gaining body fat quite easily and feeling rather poorly afterward, sleepy and lethargic, which would suggest more of an endomorph tendency. Consequently, I practically restrict my carbohydrate intake to just two meals following my workouts (the first being high-GI and the second being low-GI) along with my breakfast. For the remainder of the day, I focus on proteins, fats, and a very generous amount of vegetables. This is truly the only way I can prevent that feeling of complete physical malaise after eating. On days when I am not training, I only eat carbs at breakfast, while my other six meals consist strictly of proteins, fats, and plenty of greens. Even though some people don't count vegetables as carbohydrates, if you eat enough of them, those low-GI carbs paired with fats and fiber are really what keep me going and help maintain steady blood sugar levels.😉
As for hydration, I haven't really noticed any excessive fluid loss during my sessions, particularly when the weather is cool. I generally drink a substantial amount of water, roughly five to seven liters a day, so I find it difficult to imagine that I could be suffering from dehydration.😉

We would be absolutely overjoyed...🤣 🤣

I wasn't entirely certain who that was intended for, but since it appeared immediately following my own post, I decided to take it in stride—either as a rather amateurish attempt at deep philosophy or perhaps just someone trying their hand at being a bit witty. 🙄

I found myself wondering where else they might host such an event if not in San Francisco. They showed some brief clips on the news, and honestly, Broadway looked absolutely packed, almost like the crowds you'd see on New Year's Day. 😉
The only place that didn't really do anything was Miami, though I suppose they finally showed up at the Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Lakers game, so they did get a bit of a warm welcome there after all. 🙂

Let me try to lay this out one more time, just to be absolutely certain we're on the same page: anything exceeding 2 grams per kilogram is essentially just throwing money down the drain. If you look at elite athletes, they really only need somewhere in the ballpark of 1.2 to 1.6 grams per kilogram to perform optimally. Now, I have this nagging suspicion that you might be involved in bodybuilding—which is fantastic, don't get me wrong—but if that’s the case, then I suppose those higher numbers might actually make sense for your specific goals.

Maybe it really is just throwing money down the drain—and I’m certainly not going to stand here and argue otherwise—but after years of experimenting with different ways of eating, I’ve finally found a rhythm that actually works for me. I do some recreational bodybuilding, though my primary goal isn't necessarily hitting massive new PRs; it's more about maintaining the physique I have right now. To be honest, I can only manage that if I keep my calorie intake quite high. The moment I even slightly scale back on what I'm eating, the weight starts dropping off immediately.
Well, I’ve found that I tend to lean toward a higher protein intake lately, and honestly, I’m also consuming quite a significant amount of fats. To be perfectly candid, that's just what my body seems to crave more these days. It’s a bit heavy on the fats, isn't it? To be perfectly honest, I find that certain meals—well, they’re just sort of "off," if you know what I mean—leave me feeling rather subpar and sluggish afterward, unless, of course, I make sure to eat them right after I've finished being active. 😉

I was wondering if there was any sort of official welcome held in Charleston? I saw on the news last night that they held one over in Seattle, but apparently, nothing happened in San Diego at all—even though Vrdoljak, Đogaš, and Kunac didn't arrive until about 10:00 PM. Most of the locals were absolutely exhausted and could barely stay on their feet, so they just headed straight home to be with their families, only to end up heading right back out to "The Corner," where the festivities apparently raged on until the early hours of the morning... 🙂

Oh, wait just a moment! 😬 Aren't you the very same person who spent our previous conversation trying to convince me that nutrition in zone wasn't actually a good way to go? You were insisting that I should be consuming, what was it, about 3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight? I must ask, what on earth was your reasoning there? 😁

Now, I certainly recall our discussion regarding protein intake, though if my memory serves me correctly, I don't believe I ever suggested that the zone approach was inherently flawed. In fact, back then, I hadn't even realized I was following those principles; I had simply been eating that way for nearly a year without ever knowing it was technically "in zone."
😬 At the moment, I am aiming for roughly 3.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass, which is why I referred to my current method as a sort of "enhanced" version of the zone. The fundamental logic remains identical—specifically regarding insulin management, fat ratios, and all those other moving parts—it’s just that I'm consuming significantly more calories overall...
😁

I was catching the news on Open, and they were mentioning that Vrdoljak is actually going to be bringing out the starting lineup this Wednesday during the Atlanta Braves versus Los Angeles Lakers game. I can only imagine how that’s going to go down; once he steps out there, I suspect the entire Wrigley Field crowd is going to start chanting, "Now you've finally taken the trophy, Zdejoooooo!" or perhaps even something a bit more colorful like, "You could really use some Zdejoooooo right now." 😁 😁 😁 👋 👋 👋

It truly feels like a travesty that Vance wasn't recognized as the league's top goalkeeper, especially when you consider how Nieman took home the honor instead. To make matters even more frustrating, while we see Boskov making the first seven in the lineup, that entire group somehow lacks a single playmaker to actually distribute the ball. 😵 🙂

Buric didn't actually pick up water polo until he was eighteen years old. The former head coach of the roj spotted him playing over in San Francisco and brought him down to the Coast, where they began working together quite steadily. So, you could say his development as a player really took shape in Seattle.

Well, if we're looking at pedigrees, Boskovic hails from Key West; he played for the local youth teams there—maybe even the cadets, though my memory is a bit fuzzy on the specifics right now—before making the move to the South. Regardless, there isn't much debate about it: he is definitely a product of the South's training system. 😉

@Dogma

If you factor in those European Super Cups as well, we’re looking at a grand total of five European titles for Yugoslavia, thirteen for Youth, and four for the Republican Party. 😉 EDIT: And let's not forget, the Partisans managed to snag one Super Cup too.

@Vanja

I remember vividly when Dobise beat us 9-8 down in Miami just before New Year's Day; it was essentially this exact same roster, though they were missing Smodlaka and Đogaš back then. Then, in the second matchup—which happened right before the World Championships—we managed to grind out an 8-8 draw. 😉

And goodness gracious, how could you possibly leave Mike out of this equation?! 😬 😉

Anonymous said:well, I wonder how much effort a city like Dubrovnik would actually need to put in...🙂

And honestly, if you look at Miami, they have just as many as they do in Dubrovnik—exactly five. 😉

Our final offensive push.

Good grief, another attack

Good grief, those absolute clowns over at PBS have gone and decided to put

Vician was easily the best goalkeeper at the World Cup.
