Ok, if you workout  by doing the same stuff you find on all websites: forget about all that, it's bullshit. I mean it may work but it's obsolete and inefficient. You need to train smartly basing your action on science and research rather than recommendations of popular gorillas. When you look like him you are on the right path: Apart from the 1-set to failure workout method, heavily described ...

Mind maps are a tool used to represent ideas or virtually any form of data in a hierarchical way. It allows you to build trees of information and link clouds between each other. I was very sceptical about their usefulness when I was first introduced to them. After a year of use, I can only highly recommend their universal use. There is 3 things everyone should be tought to ...

Yeah, I know you are all tired of me writing about how much I had fun, but guess where I am back from ? I recently came back from Northern Thailand, more precisely Chiang Mai. After a quick transition in Bangkok (Tuesday), mainly to check out the floating market about 2 hours south of Bangkok by (slow) bus, we headed to Chiang Mai on a night train from Bangkok. Count ...

In a previous article (Two-set prediction of 1 Rep Max), I presented Matt Brizky's two-set method for 1RM prediction. It is indeed a much better metric for physical performance assessment than all those calculators based on averages. I would like to explore to what extent muscle composition can be extracted from the KG vs. REPs plot. People with a high proportion of Slow Twitch (ST) muscle fibers tend to ...

Free like the river Flowin' freely through infinity Free to be sure of What I am and who I need not be Free from all worries Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind Freer than the clock's hands Tickin' way the times Freer than the meaning of free that man defines Life running through me Till I feel my father God has called Me having nothin' But possessing riches more than all And I'm free To be nowhere But in every place I need ...

This could be you during an air plane crash Among all means of transportations, air planes are relatively tremendously safe. Only problem though, unlike being a car driver, once the plane is launched, you don't really choose your speed or to fly safely. It's all going fast and high. IF something wrong happens, you're very likely to die. I find this unacceptable to not push safety to its extremes when it ...

Suite au succès incontestable du Coca-cola zéro, une version infecte et pleine de chimie d'un produit déjà pas très bon (pour la santé) mais bon quand même, le public a été jusqu'à créer un groupe Facebook (Pour la création du "Nutella Zero)suppliant Ferrero de mettre au point un Nutella Zero. Tout le plaisir du Nutella sans les calories, est-ce vraiment possible ? Voyons ça de plus près : FAISABILITÉ Nutella is ...

Having lately been utterly hooked to the series of speeches on TED.com, I bumped into this speech titled "What's wrong with what we eat". It depicts the history of food consumption in the United States, which in fact is exactly the same as in most "developed". In this field the US indeed played a precursor role in developping the food industry. Anyone who's done the minimum 4-hour reading on nutrition ...

It's interesting sometimes to project oneself in what we think the future will be and try to foresee what it will allow. Predicting the future is however not the easiest task but there is a few predictions that have a very high probability of happening. Among them, and it will deeply change the way we do things, the WEB OF DATA (or semantic web) is likely to be one ...
