Aren't you going to get arrested for carrying a knife on the streets? It's illegal in Romania. Knives, swords etc are called "white weapons" and are illegal.

i don't carry a big knife on the skreets, i carry a small one then.. on your own property it's fine, open carry laws in florida on your own property.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: The Truth About Milk. Good or Bad?

Milk Intake, Circulating Levels of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I, and Risk of Colorectal Cancer in Men

    *  Received December 15, 2000.
    * Revision received June 27, 2001.
    * Accepted July 6, 2001.

Abstract

Background: Milk and dietary calcium may have antiproliferative effects against colorectal cancer, but milk intake also raises serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). A high ratio of IGF-I to IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) has been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer.Conclusion: Intake of dairy products was associated with a modest increase in circulating IGF-I levels, but intake of low-fat milk was associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer, particularly among individuals with high IGF-I/IGFBP-3. This subpopulation, which is at increased risk of colorectal cancer, might benefit the most from specific dietary intervention.Conclusions: Our results indicate that individuals showing high consumption of milk have a potentially reduced risk of colon cancer; however, the association does not appear to be due to intake of calcium, vitamin D, or to specific effects of fermented milk.













A Role for Milk Proteins and their Peptides in Cancer Prevention

Author: Parodi, P. W.1

Source: Current Pharmaceutical Design, Volume 13, Number 8, March 2007 , pp. 813-828(16)
 
Abstract:
A role for the amount and type of dietary protein in the etiology of cancer has not been studied extensively. Nevertheless, there is no compelling evidence from epidemiological studies to indicate that protein, at levels usually consumed, is a risk factor for cancer. On the other hand, animal studies suggest that certain peptides and amino acids derived from dietary proteins may influence carcinogenesis. The predominant protein in milk, casein, its peptides, but not liberated amino acids, have antimutagenic properties. Animal models, usually for colon and mammary tumorigenesis, nearly always show that whey protein is superior to other dietary proteins for suppression of tumour development. This benefit is attributed to its high content of cystine/cysteine and ?-glutamylcyst(e)ine dipeptides, which are efficient substrates for the synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is an ubiquitous cellular antioxidant that directly or through its associated enzymes destroys reactive oxygen species, detoxifies carcinogens, maintains proteins in a reduced state and ensures a competent immune system. Various experiments showed that tumour prevention by dietary whey protein was accompanied by increased glutathione levels in serum and tissues as well as enhanced splenic lymphocyte proliferation, phagocytosis and natural killer, T helper and cytotoxic T cell activity. Whey protein components, ?-lactoglobulin, ?-lactalbumin and serum albumin were studied infrequently, but results suggest they have anticancer potential. The minor component lactoferrin has received the most attention; it inhibits intestinal tumours and perhaps tumours at other sites. Lactoferrin acts by induction of apoptosis, inhibition of angiogenesis, modulation of carcinogen metabolising enzymes and perhaps acting as an iron scavenger. Supplementing cows with selenium increases the content of selenoproteins in milk, which on isolation inhibited colon tumorigenesis in rats.








that study is interesting ^^^


anyway, if anyone has any more REAL studies, post em`..

peace

will check journals tmw, and make some vids tmw, busy day

12/22/2010

bw = 154
soreness = calfs a bit
aches/injuries = right upper back, right ankle (i tweaked it a bit trying a trick last dunk session, didnt upload but i tried some lob 360 bullshit and landed odd)
fatigue = moderate
diet = prot shake, dunking, prot shake, chipotle, movie, cookies, training + prot shake, prot shake + chocolates, sandwhich

workout #1:  :ibjumping:
- jumps/dunks, pics above

workout #2: strenf, no walking  :ibsquatting:
- half squat: MSEM set 1: 315 x 1, 325 x 1, 315 x 1, 325 x 1
- half squat: MSEM set 2: 325 x ~12-14 singles, i forget, got stronger halfway through, could have hit singles all night, short rest
- half squat: 255 x 21


without walking / sprinting before squatting, im strong as hell.. so what i've been doing is good, literally felt like a monster tonight i could have squatted 325 singles forever.

right ankle was kind of messed up during dunking, after too.. during squatting (i had massaged it a ton prior), it felt good.. feels better now.. hopefully itll be good fri, need to murder some massive jumps fri.

well for the history of the nfl combine it's been double arm reach, they might have changed it recently (only the last 1-2 years).

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello there!
« on: December 23, 2010, 03:14:48 am »
Hello! I'm Kokoy, well as you can see on my username, and I'm a Filipino. I'm 17 yrs old. I want to bust the stereotypes and myths that we Filipinos (and Asians) can't jump high (except for the tall guys)! That's one of my goals in life, to have 45+ inch vertical, and to be an inspiration for my friends and countrymen.

I did VJB with good results, around 5 inches in 5 months. I'm doing VertFreak 2.0 now for my first week and will know that i will gain much from it. I'm just a bit worried though Adam Link is a very nice guy but all of his marketing hype and promotion of Squatflex has destroyed his reputation. As Abraham Lincoln said, "If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all the people some time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time". That's why I'm losing confidence on him. But still he gives free coaching in facebook and twitter.  :)

I am personally gratified as what this forum is aiming to do, giving free and reliable information for those who can't afford the programs that are sold in the internet. I too can't afford those prices but managed to save some money for 3 months or so, to buy Vertfreak 2.0. And I know it will work. By the way I got VJB for free, if anyone wants it you can mail me ;).

welcome man!

ya Adam Linkenauger went downhill, i mean, after the first time he promoted squatflex we were like "uhhhhhhh", but you know, being good people, gave him a "second chance", not like he cares about second chances from us or whatever, but still.. he claimed he'd NEVER PROMOTE SQUATFLEX again, then he did... so that's the end of that.

ya don't offer programs etc on here, we don't allow that, no trading of copyright material.

thanks for the kind words about the site, hope VF goes well for you.

peace

lol, so ya that knife is really sharp and really big, very easy to pull out of the holster, I'd never want to use it but if I had to, no hesitation, plus i'd probably get it on cam, would make for a sick youtube video lolol.

damien is a damn video editing beast..

Perhaps it's collaborating with the enemy, but I've wanted to someone to help me with videos or consult me from time to time... or even make intros / outros...  If your interested hit me up.

Adarq... thanks for posting those testimonial vids... I should mention - I think the "freetofly" one is Danial Back (cool dude and has a nice youtube channel 'jumptrainee", and unless that is his channel it's some affiliate re-posting his vid, I should let him know so he can get it taken down.  On a second note, Brandon Todd has asked for his testimonials to be removed (he has started his own thing)... I took mine down, he knows they are on youtube, so not sure why he doesn't ask youtube to remove them, they are really good about that. The others though, are random dudes who sent me vids :)  I have some more also... that I haven't posted.  One that some kid sent me last year that I have hesitated on because it will probably get criticized.

hey, bmully posted those, not me.. hehe

damn that's kinda grimey though that Brandon Todd wanted you to take down his testimonial, if your program did help him, he should have stuck by that. Weak.

Dude I don't know what a VDSLR is.. I thought both the sony and canon were DSLR...

I have a feeling we're about to be kicked out of this forum for topic drift.

Adarq rules with a steel hand knife.. which he wears around his friggin neck... have wondered why.. ?? anyone?

i've been chased by loose pitbulls before, so.. it's just for general protection, I have a pretty expensive camera out there, so, rabid dogs, rabid thugs, or who knows what else, i got to be prepared :) I'm very defensive, always have been, I try not to put myself in situations where I don't have exit strategies, don't know why, always been that way.. lol, so ya that knife is really sharp and really big, very easy to pull out of the holster, I'd never want to use it but if I had to, no hesitation, plus i'd probably get it on cam, would make for a sick youtube video lolol.

Btw, damien is a damn video editing beast.. I'll create a video editing topic in "Let's nerd the F out forum" so you guys & I can continue any convo there.

peCe!
