Apologies to the folks who attended the DC wing-ding. My flights were cancelled out of Chico and I was pretty much stuck. We are looking into a possible 2 day gig in the near future and I will drive to that even if I have to! Thank you to Greg Everett for Pinch hitting for… Continue Reading
DC or bust
I’m off to Washington DC today for the Catalyst Athletics Olympic Weightlifting/Nutrition-palooza! All proceeds go to the Yeh family…get off yer duff and go! I suspect my internet access will be spotty until Tuesday of next week so apologies in advance for tardiness responding to comments. Have a great weekend and keep our friends in… Continue Reading
Exercise: Ineffective for Weight Loss
I’ve been carving through Gary Taubes book, Good Calories, Bad Calories. It is thick, detailed and amazingly well researched. Dr. Eades and a number of other people have reviewed the book so I’ve been hesitant to reinvent the wheel but I think I might have something to add to the general discussion. I just wrapped… Continue Reading
Performance Nutrition In 683 Easy Steps. Part I
Nutrition, often described in Far Side Cartoons as “FUD”, is a contentious and error prone topic. Contentious in that one can find an argument to include or exclude everything from meat to nightshades and Cheetos depending upon the source. Oh, precious Cheetos! Nutrition is error prone in that most people are not willing to experiment… Continue Reading

If you live on the East Coast come on out for the Olifting/nutrition seminar fundraiser sponsored by the Performance… Continue Reading
Russian Kale with Thai Basil
We were wandering through the farmers market this past weekend and fall is without a doubt the best time to shop. It’s just dawning on me that THIS is why the fall is called harvest season…duh! So we saw our first Fuyu persimmons which are a huge favorite. These persimmons are quite sweet and lack… Continue Reading
Pepperonata
Imagine a meal with three ingredients…that is one of the best meals you have ever eaten. Crack, heroin and Vodka do not count. Nicki and I were shopping at Costco the other evening and we were both hungry and tired. What to do? She noticed a large bag of red, yellow and orange bell peppers.… Continue Reading
Cancer and Ketosis
I wanted to thank reader Sully for sending a link to the Time Online article on the use of ketogenic diets and cancer treatment. The article is surprisingly well written and informative…I wonder if the author has a personal interest in the topic as the usual counter point, mainstream prattle was refreshingly absent. I guess… Continue Reading
Lactate Threshold
I received a great question this morning and I thought the response might be of interest to some folks. Thanks to Phil for the questions: Robb, do you know the relationships between: 1. Oxymetry and aerobic states 2. Oxymetry and anaerobic states 3. Lactate thresholds and HR 4. How to use the combination of a… Continue Reading
