Parkour And Freerunning / Re: What's Important Now?
« on: March 27, 2012, 09:05:27 AM »
I use this quite often, actually. "If there was anything I needed to get done right now, what would it be?"
A modification of this that helps me manage my time well is: (browsing Facebook for example) "If I was done with what I needed to do, would I really be doing this, or am I just stupidly wasting time?" There's a bunch of other things--training, traveling, making money, etc--that I know I'd be doing if I had accomplished my goals already.

Parkour And Freerunning / Re: Starting Parkour with Arthritis?
« on: March 24, 2012, 07:23:03 PM »
I don't know a lot about arthritis, but I know a lot of people have been able to eliminate theirs by adopting an anti-inflammatory diet (eat things that are not inflammatory and/or anti-nutrients). If you'd like to check this out further, go research the paleolithic diet. There is some information about this in our Diet forum under General Fitness.

Great video! Thanks for posting.
I will actually pin this for now. If we start collecting a bunch of resources like this, we'll want to go ahead and organize them into their own thread.

Parkour And Freerunning / Survey of danger in parkour
« on: March 21, 2012, 10:41:04 AM »
I don't see this posted yet, but sorry if it is.

The survey is about danger in parkour. I'm sure it would be of great help if as many people as possible participated, so I'm spreading it here.
More details on the website.

General Fitness / Re: Optimal Reps For Strength
« on: March 16, 2012, 12:39:08 PM »
Hopefully it's OK that I modify this question a bit... it seems to have been answered. My friend plays water polo, and he says size/weight is also an important aspect since polo also involves pushing people around.
So what about strength and size? I assume that in polo, you could be as strong as you want but without any inertia to hold you in place in the water, you wouldn't be of much use.
Just take a middle ground of strength and hypertrophy?
Or train split days?

General Fitness / Re: High Drop training ?
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:35:26 PM »
Do not train drops. Gravity will make you fall automatically, you don't have to try.
Common rule is not to train jumping off of things you cannot jump onto. This is a safe range, plus it motivates you to improve your jump height.
The force absorbed by your body from heights higher than that will damage it in ways that are difficult to repair, if not irreparable. Do not train drops.

Diet / Re: Rice Krispies, Question.
« on: March 14, 2012, 03:31:34 PM »I agree with you on the eliminate grains...but i'm a realist so I suggest to most people eat whole grains instead of, refined, white bread.I'm absolutist. I'll tell you the right way. If you don't want to follow it, it's not my problem.
The reasoning behind eating several times a day is, it helps to boost your metabolism. It puts you on a schedule and helps you to not get hungry (thus avoiding the snack cravings)If you restore your leptin and insulin sensitivity, you don't get those cravings. You might actually forget to eat. That, at least, 1) the mechanisms behind this are well known and 2) my friends who have implemented a paleo-type diet as well have demonstrated this. So basically, you're right, but if your macronutrient ratios are in the right place (using whole foods, mind you) it's a non-issue.
Red meat is harder for you body to digest.I've been -told- that this is not true, though it can be the case for some % of the population. Remember where you heard/saw it?
[cheap meat]That's probably true... we bought beef chuck from Costco and the meat pretty much smelled like chicken manure, which is probably what they were feeding the cows. Disgusting, not doing that again.

Diet / Re: Rice Krispies, Question.
« on: March 13, 2012, 07:33:15 PM »
No, rice krispies would be absolutely useless, and actually would most likely cause you to gain weight.
For weight loss, follow the advice Jake suggested above, except with 3 modifications:
- eliminate grains and legumes
- do not eat small portions several times a day. Simply eat when you're hungry, and don't stop until you're full.
- add pork and beef to your list of meats
And on the fruit, eat it sparingly.

Diet / Re: Cold Drinks, are bad for health.
« on: March 13, 2012, 07:25:05 PM »
Did somebody tell you this? It's kinda a weird question.
You'll want to avoid cold drinks if your teeth are sensitive, but other than that, I've never heard anything about this.

Socialize / Re: Legit question: what makes a guy attractive?
« on: March 12, 2012, 06:22:16 PM »Honest curiosity: Do you guys score girls like this?I'm pretty sure people make up scoring systems, then never actually follow them when the time comes. People have a nack for not knowing what they really want in a person (until they see it). Whether are you asking the guys that are looking for a relationship or the guys who are just looking to hook up, I don't think "point systems" are ever the final decider. The players will drop the system just to score, and the men will simply realize they like things they didn't think they would.
Remember this: social theorists have been trying to come up with "equations" for centuries now. Probably every week there's a new book about human interaction.
