What was in it?
This tempted to eat thoae bars

Also, not directed at you, I don't really get this Paleo thing.
When I first heard of it, it made sense, eat as hunter gatherers did yada yada.
But know it seams that more and more foods are falling under the Paleo heading. If you miss certain foods and want to eat them, then eat them. Say you eat a mostly paleo diet, but also eat A and B for their X and Y benefits. That's fine, but changing what paleo means so you keep your status is stupid.

(i'm not talking about your ice-cream, i don't even know whats in it, I mean adding in things that are "organic" but by no means paleo)

rant over

Molly

Eggs, Coconut Milk and Maple Syrup. I'm not really sure what foods have become paleo that were not paleo. Can you give me some examples? Maybe you're thinking of foods like sweet potatoes which are acceptable to eat but in a limited quantity. I know some people take it to an extreme and only eat grass fed beef etc, but personally I think that's pretty excessive. For the record I do not eat 100% paleo, I enjoy milk far too much

Mellor

Well there two examples there, sweet potatos, actually all potatos, milk.
Like I said, if you want to eat them, go for it. but they aren't paleo if they weren't available to the spearchuckers. Chocolate is another one.
I don't see the point it people sticking to the "paleo" label and trying to justify the above with BS reasons, instead of just being honest like you, eg "not 100%, cos i like/milk/whatever"

Paleo bars, eh? Sounds awesome. I'm told.

If anyone has a problem with one use of the word mongo and not with brahs calling things gay every couple of posts in this and the logs forum, then they're right to resent the former word because it definitely applies to them.

I have a major issue with someone calling someone else a mongo. I also have issue with the over-use of the word 'gay' and' retard'. This forum is not anyone's personal playground and you are all subject to the site-wide rules of boards. Calling someone a name is personal abuse. It's a little pointless to use the defense of "it was a joke, I know him/ her in real life" because I don't really care about what in-jokes people have, they aren't appropriate for the forum. Stick to facebook or PMs; the in-circle that's been developing here and the way that people address each other is creating a very hostile environment.

This is not a direct pop at you dartstothesea, I'm addressing the forum regulars as a whole and the issue is something that I'll be addressing more formally in the coming days.

The fitness forum is, above everything else, meant to be a welcoming, supportive environment and recently it's become the polar opposite of that. I don't take kindly to sexist jokes here and I think we've been overly lenient about jokes that's casually poke fun at other people.

The ironic thing is that one of the forum regulars bugged me to help set up a private forum where all of these in-jokes could be played out without retribution but it lies dormant. So I strongly suggest that the usage of that forum is re-examined and that folks remember just what this board is for.

Freakish, like that other deadlifter posted a good while ago.

Are there any rules in sports against surgeries? I remember that documentary on steroids made a good point about the likes of tiger woods getting laser eye surgery which could be viewed along the same lines of "artificial enhancement" like steroids are. I think some amputee athlete was able to go in lower weight divisions, or was just better at his sport due to a missing limb giving a bodyweight advantage. Some other guy with those springy legs was not allowed compete against able bodied sprinters so I guess there are other examples, there was that alleged transexual runner but thats a bit obvious to be against the rules.

A guy could get bone lengthening and/or shortening to help his sport, might seem drastic but I could imagine it happening in some developing country where the money attained from doing so might make it worthwhile.

d'Oracle

On the springy legs sprinter.
He was eventually allowed compete with regular athletes.

He failed to qualify for the Olympics.

His arms aren't that long, are they? I think I could have a successful arm length off with him, I couldn't get near that deadlift though.

Did you just watch the video at all?
Look at where the bar is at lockout.
Its barely above his knees.

I usually get the bar brushing my package and mine aren't short.

I watched it alright. My lockout is near enough the same, maybe an inch higher.

I'll try to take a picture.

He held the IPF bench and deadlift record at the same time... Still holds the DL as far as I know. I dunno if anyone else has ever done that. it's outrageous.

Parsley wrote: »

He has scoliosis. His back sorta collapses on itself when he DLs and he can get a crazy creepy arch when he benches as a result. If anyone was ever built to powerlift - it was him (and Ed Coan of course...)

No... no that's not right at all.

Its a typo, they're £25 on the UK site, unless there's gonna be 1000% tax on krill oil in the upcoming budget.
