Objection yer honor.  He's obviously leading the witness

I'm working the ol' humor speedbags.

I just asked my brother-in-law (Alywn Cosgrove) about metabolic typing and combat conditioning.  He knows more about exercising and dieting then everyone here combined and has written several books on the subject (including the one previously mentioned in this thread.)  Google him if you're curious of his credentials on this subject.

stuff in brackets is stuff I added

In regards to metabolic typing:

--- Quote ---Rachel [my sister] is certified in it actually -- she's the best person to ask. [I will ask her about it later]
she doesn't use it too much. [referring to the nutrition programs people hire her to make for them]

it's premise is that - just as you have different favorite foods - and different genetics - ancestry etc - that you respond better to different macronutrient splits. I.E. Scottish people tended to develop close to water - so fish was a high percentage of their diet , an eskimo would be primarily fat and protein, an American Indian who lived in the plains would have been raised on mainly carbohydrate.

It has something to it, but I think the world has evolved a lot so it's not too valid.

In regards to Combat Conditioning, I referred to it as Mike Mahler's Combat Conditioning in the email I sent my brother-in-law since the article shorthair linked to was written by him, which explains the beginning of this quote:

--- Quote ---I know Mike Mahler pretty well. He used to live in Santa Monica but lives in Vegas now -- he contributed to the liftstrong.com project. He's a "kettlebell" guy -- looks like cannonballs with a handle.

I think it was Matt Furey who wrote Combat Conditioning. It sucks -- it's really just bodyweight exercises that he did when he was a wrestler (he was an All American I think) but Furey is an internet marketing genius. I just bought some stuff of his as regards information marketing.

Hmm, that's an interesting description of metabolic typing.  It reminds me that most of the population of the world and all other mammals stop producing lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk protein, sometime around weaning.  But, despite that, most Northern Europeans and several other cultures have the relatively unique ability to continue to produce lactase throughout their whole lives.  It's funny because lactose intolerance after weaning is actually the norm and I guess that would be a good example of how different subsets of humans have evolved different ways of surviving/producing energy.

As far as combat conditioning, the great thing about excercise is that so many different types of excercises work so well.  The real challenge is mental.  That's why it pays to have a partner or a coach or a guy on the Internet marketing his product who can pump you up.  Speaking of which, I love the movie Pumping Iron.  It's really hilarious and it really gets me in the mood to workout. 

Arnold sits on the couch, describes the pump as being like an orgasm and says:  "So can you imagine what kind of heaven I am in?  I go to the gym and I am coming.  I come home and I am coming.  I am coming all the time."  This is also the movie where he smokes a joint at the end.

I gotcha.  I only mentioned the info above because my wife brought some "instant" crap home, and not only did it have "flavorings" instead of tea, but sugar was the first ingredient listed, which is what I was trying to avoid.  Brewing tea needs some testing.  Some tastes like ass if you follow the directions, and it also makes a difference of where it came from.  My local grocery store has their own version of green tea, and I found out it's got a bunch of other crap in it and it ends up tasting burnt no matter how I make it, so I ended up ditching 3/4 of a box.

Thanks for the tips I will give Brewed tea another try.
