  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Perhaps a link for those of us who do not watch television. If you are referring to phenylpropanolamine (PPA - dexatrim), then yes, they do work for some people. As with any OTC mediciation, read all of the cautions and contraindications.

    What's your inspiration for exercising?

    I am an athlete, I have always been an athlete. At nearly 40 years of age, my motivation is simply inertia. :)

    whey protein shakes

    Or, of course, this could also be a good time for an EFA supplement. Or a fiber supplement.

    Weekly Weigh-Ins

    Is to me, but then I have to make weight. When dieting for a meet, I weigh myself every day, note it, and move on. I then take an average for the week, and adjust my diet accordingly.

    Antagonist Muscle Pairs (Weight training)

    Unfortunately, not everyone's musculature will develop equally when performing their chosen sport, furthermore, imbalanced muscular development can not only hinder performance, but predispose one to injury. By way of example, the only sport I still compete in is powerlifting, and we will use...

    He has always seem a very well-spoken man. They should have given him more time, but I guess quality information does not exactly get the ratings sensationalism does.

    Whats the trick to building muscle?

    Actually, this is tied into the old myth that weight training in adolescents will cause premature closure of the epiphyseal plates in the long bones. However, there is not one shred of evidence to support this claim. FWIW, the strain to the growth plates is much harder when one runs, than...

    frequency of workouts

    The main muscle of the abs, the rectus abdominus, is a phasic muscle, which means that it is composed of primarily fast twitch muscle fibers. Work them hard, then let them rest and recover. If you can work them several times a week, you are simply not working hard enough.

    Lactose Intolerance

    Skimming has to do with the amount of fat that is removed during processing, and has little to no effect on the amount of lactose. Lactose is simply milk sugar, nothing more, nothing less. To determine the amount, simply read the listed number of carbohydrates in each serving of milk, and it is...

    Acne and muscles?

    The test level increase is relatively minor, and then it would have to be converted to DHT, which results in an even smaller amount available to increase the incidence of acne. You could try some of those acne pads which you could keep in your gym bag.

    Weight lifters. Skin advice.

    No. Some people can minizmize the effect, but truly removing, no. Either they will go away because the amount of scarring was insignificant or they will not.

    Weight lifters. Skin advice.

    Any product high in vitamin E will help, such as cocoa butter. However, genetic factors such as skin elasticity and melanin levels play a greater role.

    Weight lifting

    The advice on loading up on protein is pretty solid, and has stood the test of time. Post workout nutrition is critical, and you should consume a quickly digesting protein like whey along with some high GI carbs, like dextrose or maltodextrin, to replenish muscle glycogen, resist the catabolic...

    ASPARTAME IS POISON (nutrasweet, equal, etc)

    Yes. Actually, one could post the same dangers with practically everything. Utilizing the FDA risk assessment protocal, if sugar were developed as a compound today, it would not be placed on the GRAS (generally accepted as safe) list. One can even show a similar list of dangers from water...
