Remembrances of St Patricks Days pastWith apologies to Marcel Proust, my mind wanders back to the bad old days of reckless behavior, bawdy overindulgence and the annual pub-crawl that developed such a momentum that we had to have a selection committee determine who got one of the seven seats on the bus.
In the future I will be jotting down some of my more outrageous St. Pats Day experiences, only the names will be changed to protect the guilty. I actually had planned to relate one particularly memorable escapade but I got up to 1,800 words and had only gotten to the third barroom (out of seven we hit that day) and realized it was going to take 3,000+ words to retell this tale of decadence, sex, way, way too much booze, raucous revelry, fist-fighting rugby squads, wild Irish banshee music, barfing on business executives, driving muscle cars into ditches, rock bands at midnight and the bare naked Grady running down Wisconsin avenue with a squad of police detectives in hot pursuit
Got E? Maybe time to crank backanother dietary myth crashes and burns as scientist now tell us that the E panacea could actually causes that which we were lead to believe it prevented: Money quote
About 12 percent of U.S. adults - more than 20 million people - take vitamin E pills containing the same dose used in the study, and about 40 percent - almost 80 million - use supplements containing some amount of vitamin E, according to the industry. Research released last week on nearly 40,000 healthy women showed no heart benefits from vitamin E pills. And a study reported at an American Heart Association conference in November found that people taking high doses were 10 percent more likely to die of any cause than those taking smaller amounts. The JAMA study involved 7,030 patients with diabetes or cardiovascular disease other than heart failure. Patients 55 and older who took about 400 milligrams of vitamin E every day for about seven years on average were 13 percent more likely to develop heart failure than those on dummy pills. Heart failure was diagnosed in 641 vitamin E patients, compared with 578 patients in the placebo group. The dosage was typical of vitamin E pills widely available at health food stores and pharmacies but well above the recommended 15 milligrams daily for adults, which can be obtained from food. Lonn said the findings pertain only to vitamin pills, not a diet containing vitamin E-rich foods, including nuts and leafy green vegetables. “I don’t think our study rules out in any way that a balanced diet rich in antioxidants would actually be beneficial,” she said. The study “effectively closes the door” on the theory that high doses have a major protective effect against cancer and narrowing of the arteries, University of Washington health specialists Dr. B. Greg Brown and John Crowley said in an editorial.
Another fitness myth bites the dust.
HOW ARE WE DOING? I am a computer Primitive and never surfed the web before becoming involved with my own website. Sounds like the start of an ethnic jokeso please alert us if I am overlooking a question or inquiry I am doing my best to answer everyone who writes in but Im having one hell of a time looking in all the electronic nooks and cranniesIve been working hard to get up to speed and I think weve done a fair to middle in job for the 1st three weeks.
Im looking to post new articles in all the slots by the end of the 1st week of April; in addition I want to send out the 1st newsletter containing info not in the website in around that time. Going through my dusty archives is time consuming and not always productive. I have a whole lot of interviews with a lot of bodybuilders and strength athletes but think Ill keep them segregated in the pure strength corner.
This site is not for the elite athlete as Ive said before there are muscle magazines galore and I have zero interest in competing for that readership. My idea from day one has been to create a fanzine for normal folks; folks who are adult and dont want to be spoon-fed softball fitness methods that dont work.
There are methods, strategies and tactics that work but require real he-man effort. I want to make these effective strategies available, accessible, understandable; I also want to let the user in on how exactly to pull the transformation trigger. Old School psychological attributes like discipline, tenacity and ferociousness make the Purposefully Primitive world spin on its axis. Give us some constructive criticism and feedback just be aware that while I might compromise on the technical attributes of the site, when it comes to compromising or diluting the Purposeful Primitive tactics forget about it!
