Would love to hear others' perspectives. > Elchanan > I should have inverted the approach on the concept of working one muscle at a time to just being cautious not to overwork a " gateway " muscle and or joints that are common to two major muscle groups. A very common one for obvious reasons in the shoulder area, which is could be double taxed on a series of days where one would be doing intesnse chest work one day then doing shoulder work soon after not realizing that the shoulders were used in the prior workout. As one can see, the human anatomy is fun to work with and if you plan your exercises well you will not come out of the gym with more injuries than you went in with. Which is extrememly common. Kind of like " Food Combining " but actually " Muscle Combining! " Namaste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Tim Winders Saturday, June 04, 2005 5:21 AM [Raw Food] RE: [RawFoodChallenge] Weight Lifting efficiency I don't have the ability to make a smoothie after I work out. I have to go straight to work. I have been bringing 3 bananas with me and eating those right after I work out. I also drink about 1.5L of water during and immediately after the workout and then another 3.0-4.5L throughout the day. I can bring some oranges and eat them as well. I am concerned I am not getting enough calories, but I haven't tracked it close enough to be sure. Is eating the sweet fruit enough to ensure that my bodies is getting enough amino acids to build and grow the muscles that I am working? === Tim _____ Hi Tim, What you are doing sounds much as I described, you certainly don't need to make a smoothie in order to eat fruit, it's merely a convenience (or an enjoyable brew) many people choose. I don't know the extent of your workouts, but I suspect you could increase the quantity of fruit following the workout, perhaps even significantly. For example, if you are burning through 1,000 calories in a workout (estimated, of course), then you can easily replace ALL those calories within an hour or two following the workout. So that might mean, for example, 8-12 bananas (depending upon size), or about 10 fairly decent sized oranges, or some combination. And of course you can use other fruits, dates, figs, mangos, grapes, berries, etc. But preferably just one or two fruits (well-combined) at any one time. You can also create your own " sports drinks, " this is something Doug Graham teaches constantly, and he's the one who is working with the world-class athletes. Basically, take one banana, or one banana and one rib of celery, and blends into enough water to fill your water bottle. That way you pick up extra calories and minerals, but the mixture still approaches the consistency of water. One more suggestion, drink the 1.5 liter water first, give it at least a few minutes to pass through your stomach, then begin on the foods. Also, if you choose very high water content foods (e.g., oranges, melons), you may find yourself drinking considerably less water qua water.

Another thing he wrote was " comebacks " to meat eaters that refuse to believe you can live without meat and that is the one mammal that can rip you car door off it's hinges with it's bare hands and stands on two feet is a Gorilla, and eats no meat. I may have recalled a few of the above incorrectly (gorilla vs arangatang) etc. The olives he suggested to consume were from their site at rawfood.com Hope that helps a little. -- Bill Schoolcraft http://billschoolcraft.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
