Thanks for posting links; I'll try reading them.

Incidentally, speaking of exercise and eating and bodyweight, try looking up this site. :-P

Or, you could try reading As far as calling a spade a spade, I think neverdem said he had three years as a chemist before getting an MD; what is your scientific pedigree?

For *EVERYONE* on the thread, I recommend you check out the work of Dr. Mauro diPasquale, B.A. (Biochem and Genetics), MD (both from University of Toronto), who was ALSO a World Champion powerlifter.

Yeah, he's selling stuff; but look at his career, I doubt he really needs the money...

And I've read one of his books, it is real, first-rate science (e.g. investigating glucogenesis from amino acids obtained from breaking down the intestinal lining to provide energy during intense weightlifting, biopsies of muscle tissue, that kind of thing.)

Cheers!
