Those terms were created in a research paper about the personality types of swimmers. They have nothing to do with how people should eat and train. People like V-Shred have used that to shill their products.

OMG, v-shred is such snake oil. lol

Going on a limb and say Brame leads the TEs in TDs this season.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Brutha ive drank enough beer, legit, for a lifetime. from keg parties in HS to more keg parties, and pre parties to after parties.

I'm done.

Reread, please. It was a divorce joke. I would never discourage someone from stopping the drink.

Does Brazzell getting arrested mean we are back?

Yeah, we needed at least one arrest before the season.

Not as worried about the WR room anymore. We have some options if worse came to worse.

For a few reasons, my wife and I chose to cut out alcohol from our lives. I have also been informed recently that my cholesterol levels have started going up and I should consider altering my diet. The problem is we eat pretty healthy for the most part and I try to exercise 4-5 days per week. There are truly some things that are genetic. However, I am seeking out remedies that are non-prescription in nature to help with my cholesterol including diet changes. Prescription pills are the very absolute last resort for me.

I've had an issue with low HDL for years. Dr offered atorvastatin but felt like you skip the rx. Friend suggested CoQ10, started 400 MG for about 6 months. Next visit all my levels were lower but not a significant improvement in HDL level. But the rub was I paying more for the CoQ10 than a rx of atorvastatin would cost me. Dr started me out on low dose 25mg which I have taken for about 5 years now. Levels are great and I've had no issues with the statin.

Unless your Dr is a quack listen to what they're telling you.

Let’s become friends. What’s your address?

Well
I’ll consider it. You were pretty cool in big trouble in little China.

People being fat vs skinny has almost everything to do with diet and activity levels.

The metabolism is a DISTANT second. I've worked in restaurants a long time and I would observe and monitor what my fat vs skinny co-workers eat.

The fat people eat. The skinny ppl, like skinny girls and guys say stuff like "sometimes I just forget to eat" and I'd watch them do nothing but nibble....and I'd finish their food lol.

I didn't lose weight until I started eating like a skinny person....which feels like not at all.

That last statement is so true. I have to eat less than 1,000 calories a day to lose any weight and while that’s pretty easy to achieve my energy levels sink tremendously. My buddy is a gym bro and made out a diet plan and even with eating my weight in protein rich meals I still lacked any energy.

 

[rocktopper16]

Eat protein and vegetables
Work out four days a week and 1-2 days add cardio
Take creatine 5mg every day

You’re welcome, Volnation.

Get on testosterone replacement therapy “TRT”.

man..wish I hadnt watched that..JA lowlights.

I see there are a lot of overreactions on VN this morning...nothing unusual. My only thought about the QB situation is that Heupel will start whoever he thinks gives us the best chance to win. We all need to hope that isn't George just so he can develop more and so he doesn't give others teams a reason to tell Faizon that Tennessee already has their starter and that he'll be riding the bench...I say that because I think George is going to be good whenever he gets a shot. Ideally we put together a solid season behind Aguilar or Merk and then have George, Merk, and Faizon competing for 2026.

I’ve seen and read a lot of reaction pieces about our first scrimmage. Mostly doom and gloom about QB,WR and how the defense beat the offense.
Luckily I saw an article about the first scrimmage at Texas. Mostly doom and gloom about QB(Arch only threw one TD pass) and how the defense absolutely beat up the offense.

Spoken like someone who has never fought those issues.

The LH-VTA loop is involved in both hunger and addiction, and the two can become intertwined for some people. I have never experienced alcohol addiction, but would never judge someone who has because I've seen what food addiction can do. I've spent most of my adult life afraid of food, much as an alcoholic is afraid of alcohol. At one point I was 100 pounds heavier than I am now. I lost 75 in my first low carb effort, but regained half of it over time. With the chemical assist, I'm now 160lbs, my A1C is 5.4. I split virtually every meal with my wife and I'm no longer afraid of food. I can now enjoy in moderation things I couldn't previously because they fired up the addiction. So forgive me if I think the "you just need some will power" attitude is kinda crap.

How did you feel after losing that first 75lbs on a low card diet?

 

[rocktopper16]

Retired almost 2 years. Worked in Education for 39 years and made good investments. Kids are grown and successful so not having to help them financially. Everyone has a different situation. We spent 13 years looking after parents. Looking to move to East Tennessee end of the year.

I had a few older friends retire just to find part time jobs elsewhere. They couldn’t handle the “boredom” and was afraid they’d develop more health issues by sitting around all the time.

There are plenty of people who just need some will power. Not everyone who is obese has some sort of addiction, and chemical assists won't help them at all for longer than a moment.

But there are other instances where a chemical assist is the best option and a perfect solution.

Like almost everything in life, it depends on the person, and generalizations won't work.

Great. Sick of salad and meat. But great.

Few musings

George looks great but unfortunately he's just so thin. I don't think he's quite ready to handle a full season physically. Aguilar will definitely be the guy going into game one imo.

Physically the freshman are quite impressive. David Sanders is a man. Brame, Radarious Jackson, Morris, Dye.

Linebackers will be the best we've had in a long time.

No real dynamic playmakers on offense it seems (right now at least).

Secondary will be better if McCoy comes back even close to healthy. DL isn't as twitchy but is really solid.

I'd expect OL to be better than last year. Moe was a good pickup. Pendleton is just a body. Perry will be good. Heard and Warren are in better shape.

QB play is really just a killer right now. Nico (and Carnell Tate) really hosed us as this could've been a real championship caliber team.

Be honest, That brat that was here screwed us not just in his play but his timing of shaking us down. Sure we can blame his dad, we all do, but he was complacent. Tate was a pipe dream, he wasn’t going to leave Ohio, but only if the price was right. I’m sure Ohio knew this, but dang. I want titles here, but I’m over paying mercenaries to do it. I know I’m from the old school of recruiting, but it’s killing my love CFB.
