I'm not too sure about the protiein content of those breakfast foods. If they don't contain much protein I'd throw in a morning protein shake. Your body has a big protein drought throughout most of the night. So it's good to get some quick absorbing protein as early as possible. I usually drink a thick shake as soon as I wake up.

My main concern is that I might be using my muscles too much through out the day. THen with I lift heavy I'm already using worn muscule, and my lifts are weaker. Won't this slow down my bulking due to the fact that I'm doing so much light lifting. Recovery time is also an issue. I used to have plenty of time for rest and recovery, now I'm right back out the next morning doing semi-light work all day. Another thing that worries me is muscle fatigue.

Another trick to getting a wide range of tissue involvement is to change your grip placement occasionally. Every once in a while go way wide, or mid wide, or anywhere between. I also like to change up the speed of my lifts. Sometimes I'll go ultra slow. Somethings I actually come to a complete pause, that makes the lift a lot harder. I've noticed that those tircks have really increased my stardard speed bench. P.S. I ALWAYS repeat in my head..."It's light, it's light, it's light" Good luck with your lifting bro.

I just got a great new job, but it requires tons of light lifting. I've been bulking for about four monthes and I've been making some great gains. But, now that I have to do a million reps a day with light weight I'm afraid it'll slow the bulking process. Not mention it cuts into my workouts. Now instead of being in the gym lifting heavy and busting my *, I'm getting bored lifting light for hours. What's the best way to compensate for this loss of "power" time? I know it won't be totally aviodable, but what's some of the better ways to maximize bulking under these conditions? Thanks in advance.

I know this is kind of a WTF question. But, just for fun. If you had no choice. You had to pick one person to bet everything you own on. Who would you pick as the best fighter on the planet? I'd go with...Fedor Emelianenko

I was hoping Luke would KO Joe, maybe with a solid knee as joe shot in, or a hard elbow on the ground. But, I figured Joe would win it all after watching the first few shows. I was really let down by Keith Jardine. I thought he was going to crush the other HWs.

I have lucid dreams all the time. In the last one I was getting attacked by huge demon like creatures, I realized it was just a dream and turned them into "paper demon creatures" . They kept coming, so I started ripping off arms and heads. They tore just like paper would.

Right now my dream car would most likely be a 900 horse power Toyota Supra. http://www.supratech.org/nonmembers/graphics/Orange-Supra.jpg http://itserver.footscray.vic.edu.au/yr9mm2003/John/Image/toyota_supra_24.jpg http://www.mickey.8m.net/images/93_toyota_supra_turbo_(1)_(3).jpg http://www.toyota-supra-online.co.uk/supra2.jpg http://asjornal.ru/img2004/07_2002/supra/sup02.jpg

Can you protect yourself?My question is...is your style effective?Are you able to do the things that you've been taught to in a street fight situation?Can you really "kick *"...is it street tested,is it real?Close quarters combat is is real....are you?Would you do some cool Karate/kung fu stuff.Or would your style fail you?IS IT REAL COMBAACT TRAINING?

Yes I do...if you search for the truth,you will find some of it.Read Sakuraba's trainer Takeda's book.He admits to fighting worked fights with Rickson.Read it before you judge it's creditibilty.

Okay...these guys look for problems!Why not have them target us rather then the untrained nice guys.They want the fight...why not make them question their skill.What happens if we're not there....An innocent college kid gets beatup.Don't forget THESE ARE KY REDNECKS!

Do you really think a bunch of guys who knows nothing about video games is gonna discuss pac man? However,I do get your point,but were not gonna change our discussion about our hobbies when they can discuss....whatever.No,they're uncivil and that's not our fault.We give them every chance to walk away if they're so stupid as to pick a fight with a trained fighter.Think of how many innocent people they've probably beat up.I have no problem with beating up thug scumbags.I'm a little guy and if I hand some big dude his * in a little brown bag maybe the guy will think twice about attacking the next little guy who doesn't have any skill.We're giving back to the community.... Micheal is only 5'9... I'm not trying to be an * Ram,but these are good guys,the rednecks are the problematic ones..not us,and if they come at us....they'll get handled.They're just old school bullies who deserve it!

I wasn't there but I'm sure they were well with in their "respected area" as far as being respectful to "others".Anyhoo,I'm sure Micheal isn't worried about it.The day when we have to hide from our lack of flaws is not here,nor is it for me.I mean do we have to be hush hush about are training?NO,and if rednecks get crushed....more practice.I'm sorry but....yup!I will not altar my life style due to the ignorant and I will go where ever I choose and talk about whatever I choose,just like any other good american.

You joking right????Tyson would get killed in K-1!NO NO NO,Tyson isn't currently an active fighter,how the heck is he gonna fight any of these guys?His first "not gonna happen match" is Jerome Le Banner.Tyson would be killed! Secondly, White Warlock has only posted one reply to this thread and owned it.

i.e. they grab your shirt with one hand and hit u with the other, it's really bad if they get your jersey over your head. Here is where the grappling, aikido hapkido comes in very useful. It's really easy to pivot and lock the arm or if your good, the wrist. It also stops the fight cold as the guy is in too much pain to do anything then u can break it up eithout anyone ever getting hurt. NEVER go to the ground in a street fight. So in final analysis -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know a great tech for this.When they grab your shirt...take the begining of an ikkyo(just the grabbing of their hand),then when they throw the punch....QUICKLY place your other hand in the bend of their arm while pivoting 90 degrees to the inside of the punch and rotate the punching hand up and around the elbow of the grabbing hand.Then reinforce your ikkyo by placing their punching hand against the elbow of the grabbing hand and change the ikkyo into a nikkyo.This will drop them to their knees.At this point a forward thrusting knee will end any chances of them being a model.

It sickens me to think that this highly trained guy would use his skill to hurt animals just to prove that he kicks *(ego stroke ego stroke).This didn't win any "brownie points" with me!

Yeah micheal owns in street fights,but he had a little bit of trouble in his last fight in King of the Ring.He's still the man in my book.

Rickson's pride fights were works.

The other night some of the guys from the dojo went out for a couple of cold ones.Well everything was going as expected,cold drinks and funny stories.Then it takes a turn for the worse.A huge redneck had been sitting close to the guys from my dojo and heard some of their stories.He walks up to their table and ask if they were "karate guys".They gave him a smooth over answer like oh we try to be.He wasn't acting rude or anything at this point,just asking questions and such.Then he asked who was the baddest outta the group and they were like this little man here(Micheal O'Donnell head instructor of 4smma).The guy laughed and said "him" pointing at Micheal.After a few more silly questions the guy then walked off.Later he came back and was being very annoying,kinda laughing at them in their presents.He kept trying to pick at Micheal,but Micheal was doing an excellent job of "laughing with him" to disarm to situation.Finally the guy is like I don't think you can take me and outta nowhere pushes Micheal outta his chair.Both now standing face to face,the guy grabs Micheal by the waist and picks him up bear hug style(it was obvious that this guy was no longer playing).Micheal started raining elbows down on this guys head and in no time the dude falls.It was over almost as soon as the dude grabbed him.Man I wish I could've been there to see this moron get what he deserved.I think it's funny how untrained fighters try to stroke their ego's by picking a fight with a highly skilled fighter.Usually the trained person gives them every chance they can to walk away,but do they...no.They see this as a weakness and attack.Sad but funny none the less.

Kentucky,yes they'll most likely go for the death penalty and get it.It was sad to see his mom on tv,she is a fat ghetto mom.The whole vicious cycle thing is so sad.This guy has lived a messed up life,and now he must die.He made his bed,now it's time to sleep.The thing that bothers me so much is that people like him are just victims themselves.Kinda like pitbulls that are raised to fight.I feel sorry for them as a whole,but when they bite you,you lose all of your cares for their well being.I know I'll be happy to hear about his demise.

Okay,Rickson was a great fighter no doubt about that,but his record is somewhat questionable.I've read that alot of his fights were worked,I know that two of them in pride were.Another thing I'd like to point out is he was never the champion of any mma organization.

Royce was probably talking about Rickson being the best at bjj,but by today's standards he's not very well rounded.He's not on the level of the real MMA fighters.The guy couldn't even beat one of the lesser generation fighters of today.He hasn't got any kind of striking skills,on the ground or on his feet,but his bjj is superb.The best pound for pound fighter of the gracies imo is Ryan.But,I'm sure they'll turn out some more excellent fighters and the new guys will have an all around game.

PLEASE....Rickson is so not it!Okay Rickson's record is 400-0...but it was mostly due to his grappling skills.The sport has evovled and there's guys who would rip him apart.

Choki Motobu vs Fedor....Choki loses! Those guys can't compete with the new warriors!
