The signup process is great. On the donations page I think the $ amount should be displayed in the same box as the number of coffees or allow people to enter a usd amount as well or number of coffees. Now it's only visible on the button which I didn't see immediately.
Regarding #1...
I'm pretty sure that to digest 100kcal worth of chicken breast requires more energy for the body to do, compared to digesting 100kcal worth of Coke/sugar. It also has a different impact on your insulin levels.
Living on a 3000kcal McDonalds diet will give you a different body shape compared to living on a 3000kcal diet of home cooked, organic meals.
For #1: the point of #1 is that body shape and insulin levels are not being considered. That point specifically only matters for weight gain/weight loss. In regards to differing energy expenditure for digestion for one food vs another, I would guess that that is a level of detail the average person would not spend their time investigating.
For McD's vs home cookin, calories in/calories out still holds to be true. So, if your exercise levels are the same, then you will end up weighing approximately the same after both diets. However, lean body mass, body fat percentage, your overall health and the effect McD's has on any diseases you are fighting/trying to prevent will likely be different based on the quality of your diet and it's macronutrient distribution.
You can build aerobic power (at least to some extent) using anaerobic exercise like sprints / intervals. I would assume a combination of aerobic & anaerobic exercise is probably the healthiest because that way all energy pathways and muscle fibres get activated.
I always think it's crazy to expect humans to function properly without exercise. We see the problems in all other animals when they become sedentary below the level that they would historically be expected to do. Yet somehow some people seem to think we are an exception to this rule.
There is probably a correlation between overall health -> leg strength & overall health => brain health / power. Not as revolutionary as I would like it to be.
Really sad. It's also depressing to see the response from politics. Border controls and more police presence. How likely is that to solve the underlying problems?
That's awesome!
I didn't think this would work but it does. It would be amazing to combine this with a training tracking app. So far the data entry has always been really annoying so only machine exercises could really be captured properly. Really exciting stuff. I think this has a lot of potential for a startup!
I really like the format and styling! It's broken up nicely with the images you added and the commands are kept to the really important ones. The summaries at the end of each chapter is great as takeaway. Maybe you could create a cheat sheet of the combination of summaries?
I'm looking forward to the Git edition of this series.
Wow! I've competed in rowing at fairly high level and reading this is article is shocking. I did not expect such a huge performance boost and THEN to turn up clean is insane.
So far I've always given people the benefit of the doubt but this really makes me wonder...
Rowing would be a perfect sport to do this in. I've heard rumors that there are rowers who do it, but I think the reason why it isn't that widespread is because there's no money in the sport. Although testing is lax, so maybe it is widespread at the top levels and we just don't know about it?
I rowed just below international level and several of my former team mates have world and olympic medals. Also, I know that my pure power output was better than some of the international rowers and I didn't even take Creatine. My house mate is in a national team squad right now and he gets surprise tested every few months. He actually has to keep a calendar of where he sleeps every single night so they can find you in the morning... I doubt there is much cheating going on in rowing, like you said, it's just not worth it financially.
I would really advise agains even trying, unless you are simply bored. I created a system with exact parts recommended by tonymacx86 and it took days to get everything up and running. Even then basic stuff kept braking like sound. Speed stepping didn't work at all so I abandoned that ship...
