Oh yeah absolutely, I think at this point in time the calves are very very underrated. Before they were so overrated, like all you needed to do was calf raises and that was your vert training.

I don't know if you're aware of it, but another myth "from the elders" about eggs is that the "evil, intoxicating thing" in the egg yolk is a half-inch "whiteish" color "thing" somewhere in the yolk... if you boil an egg and then crack it, you can see that in the middle of the yolk more often than not.

Well my mom and dad always keep on throwing this "eggs cause liver problems" at me all the time it's getting really annoying.

Probably if you're eating like 20/day.

Aren't you like 25?

Yes I am but what I meant is that I grew up with that being repeated in my ear again and again. What does a virus has to do with eggs - I have no idea.

Probably what they mean is that many eggs are "hard" for the liver to "digest" if you will.

Well yeah... too many eggs aren't toxic or something?

In terms of cardio - that will burn calories... and I can barely take too many to aid in muscle growth already. That's my issue. And I've started to eat really clean these last few days and plan on continuing with that. Hopefully some recomposition will occur.

Well that yoghurt had more carbs than fat... weird.

Would you think getting rice AFTER a workout would be cool? I plan on doing that today. Rice + chicken.

My problem is with meals outside of training... when I'm idle at work sitting on a chair for 7-8 hours...

Would something like yoghurt + fish (pangasius) work for a meal at work? (for a protein + fat meal) Other ideas for this?

No homo ":P". For what does that ":P" stand for :D

But anyway, I thought fish + salad = protein + carbs?...

And I looked at a yoghurt bottle and it was like 4 protein, 5 carbs and 3 fats... so more carbs than fats... wtf?

i imagine you will have a "blood thirst" kind of feeling once you start eating like this, and that's a bad sign

What do you mean by that?

Is powder milk acceptable? Because I have milk intolerance... I mean, I can drink a cup or so per day but that's pretty much it.

I have a hard time of getting protein+fat meals. I mean, I have no idea of what these meals look like... I guess I always ate protein+carbs...

Can someone throw a few examples at me (I'll look for some in Kelly's body comp basics book).

Also, running won't be an option when winter comes. Running on the treadmill could be and kettlebell swings for cardio work... although I don't like using the treadmill... I'm afraid of it (falling and all that).

And wouldn't it be detrimental to muscle building if I burned calories doing stuff like running and cardio? Wouldn't they contradict each other?...

Well theoretically your calves don't do much in terms of jumping. If you isolate them and jump only by ankle extension you won't get very high. Good plantar flexion ankle ROM is a great way to get more out of them I suppose.

However, I have a feeling that once they get "loaded" at high speeds/high forces they contribute much more than you'd think.
