Kian — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:00:30 +0000

Training IS pain. Let's face it, working out hurts. The question is how much hurt is too much hurt, and what kinds of hurt are too much? Mind you we are NOT doctors, and everything on this podcast is our opinion and not medical advice. We are pretty awesome though

Kian — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:11:12 +0000

All carbs are not created equal. That's why the glycemic index was created. It's a bad ass ranking system that's going to help you figure out what carbs to eat and which ones to avoid. Enjoy

Ep 81: What Not To Wear

Kian — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:00:30 +0000

We hate reinforcing the stereotype that the gym is a meat market and all you should care about is how you look (ok well I hate it, I'm not so sure about T). Despite all that you, our listeners, have asked us to give you the heads up on wardrobe in the gym. Sit back and enjoy

Barefoot may not be the best choice for everyone.

I'm still not a fan of motion controlled shoes.
