    Cardio before lifting

    Not surprisingly, this is actually extremely complicated and only has so much to do with Glycogen. Just to be clear, Glycogen is simply stored Glucose which is kept in your liver and muscles. During exercise your body will use both Free Glucose from your blood as well as Glucose produced by...

    Body fat %

    There are actually multiple very reliable ways to test BF %, to within 1%. The most common are the Bod Pod and a Water Submission test. Calipers can be fairly accurate if a person knows what they are doing. Typically that means a Certified Trainer, with a legitimate certification not a weekend...

    Body fat %

    Personally, I can't say I experienced any negative side effects. There has only been significant improvements in almost every aspect of my life. Well, except the cost for treatement (really isnt much) and the time to go get a shot once per week. That is partially true, yes, but only so much. I...

    Body fat %

    Gotcha. To really clarify though, if you are on HRT (as I am) it is because your body is still producing Testosterone, just much less than your body should have at it's age. Once you start the treatment your body will completely cease to produce Testosterone. Once you go off the treatment your...

    Body fat %

    Not true actually. There is a certain level, depending on your age, where your testosterone levels are considered normal. Having a testosterone level of 300 ng/dl at 25 years old would be considered extremely low. That is more along the lines of what would be expected of a man way up there in...

    Body fat %

    That isn't entirely correct. When you start HRT your body will stop producing Testosterone while you are supplementing it, however once you go off the supplement your body will begin producing it again. If you quit cold turkey, it will take a few weeks for your body to respond by starting...

    King of the Mountain Stairmaster Challenge

    If you want a SERIOUS kick between the legs, try a 20 minute HIIT training on the stairclimber. Essentially, you 2 minutes low, then 1 minute high, cycled 6 times with a 2 minute cool down. The idea is that you are literally running up the stairclimber during the 1 minute high. I personally do...

    Anyone catch the BROmar KifauKast?

    Just want to clarify, Carbohydrates are not Calorically dense. In fact, they along with protein are the least Calorically dense Macronutrients, with fat being the most. To clarify: Protein: 4 Cal per gram Carbs: 4 Cal per gram Fat: 9 Cal per gram Alcohol: 7 Cal per gram I also want to second...

    Anyone catch the BROmar KifauKast?

    Are you truly following the Carnivore diet? Remember, you can't just eat premium cuts of meat that we all love. It is ABSOLUTELY essential that you eat "Nose to Tail". You have to eat the tongue, heart, kidney's, liver, intestines, brain, etc to get a lot of the nutrients that do not exist in...

    Anyone catch the BROmar KifauKast?

    Glad to see your not offended and open to good conversation. Not a common occurrence these days on the internet. First and foremost, I definitely want to say I am not with those in this group that are trying to discredit him. In fact, I fully believe him when he says he doesn't use steroids...

    Anyone catch the BROmar KifauKast?

    Not sure how a degree can carry absolutely no weight. I spent 4 years taking classes on everything related to the human body. Contrary to many beliefs, what I was taught was in no way related to what the government attempts to educate people on. In most my classes our professors actually...

    Thanks for the offer, but I actually already have a FHF Rangefinder Pouch. Only selling this one because I bought a Garmin 66i and I sold my Oregon. Thanks again for the offer.

    Anyone catch the BROmar KifauKast?

    I'm a little curious where you are looking, and I really don't mean that to be rude. There are countless good examples of people who utilize a balanced diet, inclusive of carbs, yet perform at a high level. Many Crossfit athletes who compete at a high level in the games follow a paleo diet...

    Anyone catch the BROmar KifauKast?

    I have to admit, I was pretty stoked when I saw that Josh Bowmar was on the podcast. Knowing he has a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Physiology, I thought I would finally hear someone talk some sense. I have to admit, I was pretty blown away at some of the stuff I was hearing. I have a Bachelor...

    Sleep fitness and supps in the Backcountry

    Your best bet is to stick with Melatonin. Definitely strange you are feeling tired when you wake up, as Melatonin typically doesn't have that effect. Strongly recommend avoiding any of the medicinal type sleep stuff like Nyquil, Advil PM, or even the Nyquil Zzz stuff. Studies have proven they...

    New IPhone = Sat Phone device

    Definitely a cool device, but I would prefer an InReach device. The Somewear appears to be 4oz, and the Garmin InReach Explorer+ comes in at 7.5oz. For 3.5oz you get added redundancy. I like the idea of having a backup to use if my phone takes a crap.

    MTN Ops vs?

    Sleep is so under discussed, which is surprising given its extreme importance. So important I made it my very first blog post! 😉

    Mtn ops

    I would agree with Coach Chris to an extent. The supplement industry is a huge multi-billion dollar business, and as always in that type of environment you will find a plethora of crap pretending to be great. I am not necessarily speaking about Mtn Ops or Wilderness Athlete, but speaking more to...
