I don't know what people first though, but it is definitely an inflammatory issue as oxidized LDL particles and other free radicals cause the insult to the intima of the vasculature, thus causing the...

Yep, knees slightly unlocked and pushed out FTW. Keep the bar on the legs.

I know I've squatted 405 x 5 x 1 before, but never for multiple sets. I felt confident I could have down 405 x 5 x 3 if I would have rested 5-8 minutes between sets. Maybe that's just a bunch of...

Excellent.

Yep. Chris Kresser is on point there. Time will tell just how valid it is, but right now it looks pretty good.

Well, you've picked the next best source of protein with egg-white protein.



Certainly there's some inflammatory processes underlying increased sebaceous gland activity and I'm sure some...

Okay. Well I think a good whey protein isolate would get you lots of mileage, as you're more amino acid resistant at your age yet you need some high quality protein to recover from training and build...

Henry Ford?

That number might be accurate, though I doubt it based on principle. In general, I could care less about the calories burned during training and instead, I care far more about what happens over the...

I wouldn't do metcons at your current level of strength/conditioning. I'd do intervals of hill sprints, car pushes, rowing, exercise bike, etc. Go really hard for 20-30s, rest 2 minutes, repeat

lol.

Extra dietary carbohydrate can and does get converted to fat in the liver (de novo lipogenesis) and gets shuttled to peripheral locations via VLDL. Once VLDL loses some phospholipids, triglycerides,...

If and when you add it back in, look for a good isolate.

Are you currently dealing with any kidney issues or medications that stress the kidney? I saw that you're a diabetic as well. Have you had your renal function tested recently?

Depends on the level of buy in you have on the nutritional front. So, what are we working with here and what do you want to do in the next 6 months?

Depending on how many times a week you were doing conditioning before, this makes a lot of sense as most crossfit workouts are high intensity and stress the anaerobic bioenergetic systems. This leads...

For the apocalypse, of course.

I think I'll leave that and the ancillaries out.

Ravnskov is talking about LDL cholesterol concentration. I'm talking about LDL particle number. They're two different things. I agree with the rest of your post though.
