Participant[quote=Jacarandoso]Kaiser used to have a physical program that they used to state the examinees health age. That was neat. Probably a more fair test.[/quote]
They still have it. It’s part of the full physical you can do every 5 years.I’m seriously overweight, like obese, but have a much lower health age than my chronological age. It’s because I have low cholesterol, BP, and good lung capacity. Kaiser still yelled at me to lose weight. LOL. They are right to yell at me – I need to lose weight. But at the moment (could change overnight) my weight is not a health risk.
And Brian is right – belly fat tends to be riskier than fat packed on elsewhere. I’ve got an hourglass/pear shape. (weebles wobble but they don’t fall down, lol). I don’t have control over where the fat ends up… but I’m glad it’s not on my belly.

Participant[quote=walterwhite]In the next 1.5 years I think I’ll weigh somewhere between 175 and 200 pounds but I really don’t know. I’m not sure what I really should be once my powerful primal self emerges.[/quote]
I don’t think primal selfs are built on whey powder…just an opinion.February 9, 2012 at 9:59 AM #737623Participant[quote=UCGal][quote=Jacarandoso]Kaiser used to have a physical program that they used to state the examinees health age. That was neat. Probably a more fair test.[/quote]

It would be interesting to know if Kaiser has used, or will use, the chronological health age results against rates of bad diseases and actual ages of death. Also do people with good profiles actually look younger? Do they have better livers, good tendons and cartilage, low occurrence of arthritis and osteoporosis etc.

ParticipantTrue whey powder probably not available on the Savannah but I’m pressed for time.
Would prefer mammoth.

I think you are going to find that it isn’t that easy being a 50 year old wild man in this era. Everytime I try, I just end up reminding myself of Groundskeeper Willie. Dumpster diving, that was good though.
In any case, stay away from that bleeping “mindful eating” that Brian recommended , jeez are they desperate for some peace of mind, or what?

I try to eat all of my meals to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and with a loaded revolver on the table. That makes it seem as though my life is an adventure and this meal might truly be my last!
Unless I’m eating waffles. Then it’s the Go-Go’s “Vacation” and cooking sherry. That seems more of a light-hearted meal.

Be sure that whatever mass you build, you can keep it up with excersise, otherwise it will all turn to fat in old age.
I mean look at Floyd Landis now. I believe he lives in Temecula.
BTW, what is strength? If one can lift 300 pounds, but is not agile enough to ski down some slopes or go rock climbing then what the heck is that strength for?
Strength and health are not a competition that you win and bring a trophy home. It’s a life long commitment that goes well into old age.
IMHO, those who focus on “bad-ass strength” don’t have the strength of character to say no to the junk food they eat.

To me, “bad-ass strength” means the strength to take on and defeat an attacker, regardless of size, and either defend myself successfully or (better still) bring things to a “terminal conclusion” (in my favor).
I definitely agree that a combination of aerobic and anaerobic fitness is optimum and can singlehandedly name a coupla dozen former SEALs, Marines and SOF guys from the Vietnam War era (now in their 60s) that are still in excellent physical condition and could put a world of hurt on ya. Shit, I bet your boy Clint Eastwood could still throw ya a fierce beatin’ and he’s, what, 70? Now that’s “bad-ass strength”!

Have you tried living in a trailer park?February 10, 2012 at 7:44 AM #737678ParticipantLead doth not turn into gold, nor muscle into fat.
Rock climbing and skiing are not for every day.
Power is.
February 10, 2012 at 7:47 AM #737680ParticipantSchoolkids can’t ski every day. But they can climb the rope do 20 pullups. Pushups and jump about.
America would be less nervous if we were each more powerful.
