this is going to be a great event, though they should have put it on versus.

[9:23pm] adarq: ok if i eat 10 bananas, how much potassium is that
[9:23pm] bRuCeLeE: 10 banans
[9:23pm] bRuCeLeE: would give you 13 g of protein
[9:23pm] adarq: nice
[9:23pm] bRuCeLeE: 31g of dietary fiber
[9:23pm] bRuCeLeE: which would make your shit
[9:23pm] adarq: ya
[9:23pm] bRuCeLeE: fly out of your intestines
[9:23pm] adarq: god damn that fiber is making me shit so good
[9:23pm] bRuCeLeE: because 123%
[9:23pm] adarq: its great when u shit so good
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: 1g of saturated fat
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: which is 7% of daily allowance
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: 144g of sugar
[9:24pm] adarq: l0l0ll
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: you would have taken in 217% of vitamin b6
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: 171% of vitamin C
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: also...
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: 4.2 g of potassium
[9:24pm] adarq: HOW MUCH POTASSIUM
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: which is 121%
[9:24pm] bRuCeLeE: of daily value
[9:24pm] adarq: nice
[9:25pm] bRuCeLeE: total calories
[9:25pm] bRuCeLeE: is 1050
[9:25pm] bRuCeLeE: rolf..
[9:26pm] adarq: nice
[9:26pm] adarq: lol

[9:26pm] bRuCeLeE: 10 bananas would be 42 ounces
[9:26pm] bRuCeLeE: 12 ounce a pound
[9:26pm] adarq: damn
[9:26pm] adarq: no wonder i shit so much
[9:27pm] bRuCeLeE: it also gives you 106mg of tryptophan
[9:27pm] adarq: weird, i dont get tired from them
[9:29pm] bRuCeLeE: maybe you should only eat 9
[9:30pm] bRuCeLeE: 8 bananas is perfect
[9:30pm] bRuCeLeE: because that puts you at 97% daily intake
[9:30pm] bRuCeLeE: but you do more work than the average adult
[9:30pm] bRuCeLeE: maybe you deplete more protein
[9:30pm] bRuCeLeE: so 9 bananas would be good
[9:30pm] bRuCeLeE: possibly 10
[9:30pm] adarq: im an athlete
[9:30pm] adarq: being over 100% is fine
[9:31pm] bRuCeLeE: you are not an athlete gtfo out of here
[9:31pm] bRuCeLeE: you use to be an athlete
[9:31pm] bRuCeLeE: then u got cut
[9:31pm] bRuCeLeE: by your coach
[9:31pm] adarq: wtf
[9:33pm] adarq: suck my banana excrement
[9:33pm] bRuCeLeE: rofl!!1
[9:33pm] bRuCeLeE: its extretion...
[9:34pm] adarq: wtf is extretion...
[9:34pm] bRuCeLeE: excretion rofl1!
[9:34pm] bRuCeLeE: GOD SHOULD I GO TRIAN
[9:35pm] bRuCeLeE: or master lisp
[9:35pm] adarq: master listhp like nick ring

wtf was that? haha

I jsut wanted to experiemtn with that second philosophy - training specific to movement patterns.
And since I have done trapbar deadlifts, and my RVJ lift, I think I am the most credible in saying that they work the muscles similarly. . .. lol I've done both, and trap bar deadlifts hit my lower back the same way as this does.

The confusion regarding the jerkiness of this lift is due to the fact that it's a max attempt. I believe I had the smoothest lift at 00:47. I'll post a video of it being smoother on a lower weight.

i'd shoot the vid from a bit further out, back angle AND side angle.. that'd give everyone a better perspective on what's going on.

And LBSS, an RVJ, in my opinion, looks smooth because it happens so fast. But in slow mo, a lot of things are moving and jerking. Tdub is extremely smooth, but look at GC. He bows his neck down and curves his back a little bit, creating a powerful stretch shortening cycle to the RVJ. I pretty much do the same thing in this lift. And I love using momentum to lift as much weight as possible, while trying to not do anything stupid regarding form.

ya well about the GC thing, the only difference is he's not vigorously using his erectors to try and become erect & he's squatting down more, so i think it's a bit different than your deadlift exercise.. I would imagine a squat on mid-foot, low bar, would mimic GC's plant extremely well.. It's what I call poonanny squats, i was going to experiment with them, i liked them for sure, but i cut out weights. This lift would be limited by the ankles, since squatting on mid foot (heel not touching, toes up) is pretty tough.
 

In terms of the comment on large scale studies: think about a recent study that evaluated low carb vs low fat. The two variables were fats and carbs . . . other variables include mineral cmposition of the diet, digestibility of the proteins, um fiber, antioxidants in the diet, etc. Remember this study? I laughed when it came out because people believed the results, whichw as that low fat results in greater weight loss long term (1year), and low carb offers greater weight loss short term (6months - not that short for a cut). An example of how so many confounding variables screw up results.

And chicken is not as high quality of a protein as spirulina, it may have more protein, but spirulina has the minerals/co factors/enzymes that probably increase protein synthesis beyond anything a complicated polypeptide bonded protein could do.

Also, did I mention this yet? Nutritional science is brand new; people who rely on the science too heavily tend to refute things not backed up by science, such as raw food. I mean I stopped studying nutritional science after realizing how backed up in outdated bs the major was. So for me, I feel great on raw food, most people do. I've felt great on some cooked foods too, but having a high amount of those in your diet tends to improve well-being a lot, and clearly you have not tried it. btw I eat like 60 g of protein a day and my lifts have been going up for the past 3 months continuously - so that's high quality protein.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens btw, a promoter or raw food, gets people off insulin in 2-4 days at his institute. I think that's pretty profound. They've cured type 1 diabetes as well, and put the results together in a documentary titled "Simply Raw."

@Nba2020: thanks man, I record diet/training/how I feel everyday in my journal. In fact, I know I'm gonna have a good lift when ma swagga is at its best. THat's when the legs are strongest, seriously, i think many can attest to that

cya man!

I knew you were lurking on the Island. 

Or did you see it somewhere else? Either way, I gotta cut back on going to that place, it's addictive. And either way, that kid is ric ckulously strong.

my oly-lifter friend linked me on irc

these brozknoz guys are impressive.
