I guess we filled up the old one... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280149

Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition!

No one else started it so here it is!

**From the 2013 Thread**

If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs

If you have questions about the SS programs, look here:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ

Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started.

Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE:

If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point.

A metric ****load. 6 cups of grapes, 3 cups of berries. Maybe a plum or four. A lot. And yet, I'm still lean and healthy. Weirdly, fructose has yet to make me fat.

Bacteria digest sugar, produce acid, acid causes decay.

Basically.

The sugar doesn't cause decay

It could, but then, there's no sugar in diet soda.

I wasn't suggesting that it would make YOU fat, just reading up on it started to peak my interest about how its metabolized. In the end, excess calories are going to make you fat.. its just interesting how the liver metabolizes fructose vs glucose and how its stored as fat more readily. I eat a bunch of it as well.. in the end its just a energy source.

I also wonder how large of a role genetics plays in dental health.

One of my kids doesn't brush worth a shit (he has some gross/fine motor issues). The other one brushes like a mad man. Their sugar intake is about the same.


You know which one has had to have like 3 caps put on his teeth? The good brusher.

In terms of decay, unless they have some genetic disorder that leads to soft enamel (possible but has more debilitating symptoms and would be known", the whole my dad had bad teeth so I do excuse is just that.

In terms of periodontal issues, yes, there are more genetic dispositions to that.

But more likely, each kid has slightly different bacterial flora which cause decay differently.

or they aren't doing a good enough job with oral hygiene.

More likely, differences in bacteria are the cause. Some people are more prone to tooth decay, some to periodontal loss, etc.

White coat effect.

Don't use one take to determine anything. It's like taking a snapshot of a movie and judging the movie on it.

Take it 10 times in one day and average it

Billay - Keep doing what you're doing and that should go down - just keep plugging away.
