ohh boy.  i probably shouldn't comment as i've only read the last page, and page 1 and 2.  skipped the rest.  but i imagine i won't find too much new stuff in between.  it seems to be raptor really needs to changing his thinking.  if you've been at this for 2 years and have not manage to really cut fat, you're doing it wrong.  take the experience ppl's advice and follow them.  diet is hard, but how can you say you don't believe in that??!?!  we are what we eat!  there are very few exception (some ppl can eat TONS with out gaining weight) but most of us are not that lucky.

just my 2 cents...

wow, that Q&A with the coach is pretty awesome.

lets see how well your 66 year old MMA dude move.  this guy has 50 years on top of that.

awesome looking stills.  since you're about my frame/reach your stats and photos are highly motivation for me.  when 1 day i get closer to your squat numbers (hopefully in 1.5-2 years) i hope i will have 35+" standing too.  i hope to hit 1.5x atg squats before mid 2011.  :-)  do you remember typically how fast your squats numbers go up and your training frequency then?  or, what method/schedule seem to have been the more efficient gains...

can someone recommend the type of glove i should get?  photos would be helpful.  as the weights gets heavier the weak link is my grip.  holds true for DL's and heavier db for walking lunges (high rep count @ 50+ lbs each hand)...  i've seen gloves with stapes attached to it, and google results shows this http://www.newgrip.com/ is that any good.  factual product feedback much appreciated!  thanks.

i'm on my first kg of casein, this stuff is yucky in texture (when mix with water) compare to whey which mix so easily.  from what i read casein is full of bcaa, protein, and glutamine so i guess i better find a way to down this stuff.

my casein came yesterday and i mixed it for the first time tonight.  after opening the package i notice how fluffy the casein powder is compare to whey i had a hunch it might mix differently. at first i thought i had some bad product so i googled before drinking it because it looked kinda gross...  but apparently that is normal and i will need a blender/mixer for this stuff.

well it came out super clunky and i'm freaking chewing tar/cheese right now! at least it is flavorless so it does not taste too nasty.   i'm thinking maybe some kinda cheese omelet or with potato might be good...  don't think i wanna chew next time.

i remember those anti dairy documents calling casein poison because of the fact that it is used as a glue...  but stickiness (i guess that's why it digest slow) is just a natural property of it so i'm not really worried.  if you think of it in the wrong perspective (like chemical glue) then it does sound nasty as hell.  anybody else taking casein currently or before and did you achieve good results from it?

i ordered 3 home gym items to help me achieve my new years goal of getting below 10% body fat by jan 31st 2011.  a pull up bar for the door way, push up pro, and a roller wheel thingy for the abs.  all 3 items together only cost me $28 in taiwan and they are nice little helpers.

i do like using the push up helper it does give me a better push up work out.  since i can go a little deeper than just palms on the floor.  for $9 it's a good deal.  it helps a lot with close grip push ups actually, less strains on the wrist.
