I need to eat around 3000 calories per day to support my powerlifting training, and if I don't eat something first thing in the morning with a shitload of carbs -- usually something like rolled oats, berries, and a few bananas -- then I'm usually gassed and feeling like crap by 10.
A few friends of mine fast intermittently and train in the morning before eating but it's beyond me how that is not just pure torture.
Lots of eggs, bacon, beef, cheese, 35% cream and peanut butter.
Ignoring the fact that moderate exercise will most likely increase your appetite and disturb your body's constant strive to keep homeostasis.
Can confirm. Did a year long dirty-bulk on a ketogenic diet while lifting heavy weights, got fat (and didn't really put on that much extra muscle either)...
That wasn't my point. My point is your distinction between "man-made" and "not-man-made" food is completely arbitrary and based on your personal preferences.
"When I hit the grocery store I skip the middle aisles and head straight for the fish and meat counter"
Those pretty packages of meat are just as much "man made" as the foods you demonize. If you want to eat meat, I suggest hunting and only using your teeth and hands (claws?) to kill your prey and to eat the meat raw; gotta eat all of it too, no picking and choosing what parts you want either.
"If you want to eat that cupcake or enjoy that cold glass of beer be sure to exercise it off."
This is HORRIBLE advice. Treating exercise like a punishment for enjoying food is like a one-way ticket to Eating Disorder Town. Diet and exercise are important, but they should be used to compliment each other and not to negate being bad at the other.
"In the vegan world its standard to count every drop of rain that hit the livestock pasture as being used"
Do you have any sources for this? I have never heard a vegan claim this once.
I used to suggest this method of estimating at my previous job. People thought I was crazy. I was right every single time.
Starting Strength is a fanastic resource about learning about the lifts. Personally, I think Mark Rippetoe's training programs are pretty crap but the information about the technical aspects of the lifts in the book are great.
Alan Thrall also has some videos on Youtube on the bench press that are fantastic too.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Mobility work is key, seems pointless when you first start but will save you down the road.
Go for it. The Iron Temple is the one constant, it's always waiting for you...beckoning. Will you heed the call of Brodin?
I got cocky as a novice, and fucked my back pretty bad and was out of comission for a 4 months or so. Got cocky chasing huge (for me, at the time) numbers and ended up losing way more progress than I gained. Minor things here and there in my shoulders and elbows, which I ended up fixing by tearing apart my own bench press form and being meticulous with ever part of the lift. Bench press is, in my opinion, the most technical lift of the big three.
Slow consistent progress wins out in the long run, I'm a huge fan of sub-maximal training and going for rep PRS and not maxing out often. I only compete at most twice per year, and don't bother going for max attempts when I'm not at a meet.
All of my training these days is based around the principles in Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 and I've slowly added my own tweaks and customizations over time to it and it hasn't let me down.
Don't neglect mobility work. It's boring, but it'll save you in the long run.
Looking good for me then!
Been lifting with a focus on powerlifting for about 7 years, my last meet total was 515 squat, 585 deadlift and 336 bench at 185 lbs. Be patient, get on a tried program, put in the work, eat and sleep and it'll come.
I'm squatting 500 pounds now, so I can squat 350 when I'm 80 :P

is utter chaos, brings chrome to a crawl :P
That's because most "words" in German are made by "squishing" individual words together into one big one.
That's unfortunate. Type 1 or 2 diabetes? My mother is T1 and she cannot do a low-carb diet because of the possibility of ketoacidosis, which she's already been hospitalized once for.
Eat less than 25g of carbohydrates per day, you will be in ketosis in about 24 hours when your liver glycogen is depleted. Drink lots of water, and suppliment electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potasium -- drinking a cup of beef broth every day and using a "No-Salt" substitute on nearly all my food is what I do) to avoid the dreaded "keto flu".
My psychologist decided they weren't needed any more.
Losing 100 pounds and a ketogenic diet basically cured me. The main thing was cutting out all refined carbohydrates from my diet, but I just feel better when I replace nearly all carbs with fats. Putting on some muscle in the weightroom also made me substantially more insulin sensitive. My bloodwork has never been better, and I'm off my bipolar medication. From what I've read, it's most likely because of the slightly nootropic effect that ketones have on the brain.
Pull-request makes sense in Github, because the typical work-flow for open-source on Github is to fork the repo you want to contribute to. Hence, the maintainer has to pull the code from you.
Merge-request makes more sense in Gitlab because they're main use-case is as a self-hosted internal tool where developers most-likely are pushing all of their feature branches to a central repository and asking for the branch to be merged into the mainline branch.
There is no such thing as "reverse" natural selection. It's just that intelligence and being career driven are not a favorable trait for natural selection. It's working just fine.
Or weightlifting, squatting and deadlifting heavy on a regular basis will give you substantially stronger legs than any runner.
The best company I ever worked for did a two hour pair programming session on a simple rails app (since they were a rails shop) with every candidate that got passed the "chat over coffee" stage. You'd get to see the kind of code the candidates write and how they work through problems, how they work with another developer, and get a really good overall sense of how they would work as part of the team.
Alternatively, I used Rdio first and tried out Spotify when they released the Playstation4 integration and my reaction was "Oh, ok, it's basically Rdio but with a lousy interface. I'll keep using Rdio then".
Check out Toggl, their Chrome extension will add a "Start Timer" button to a ton of popular services:

I love the Pomodoro Technique, and use the Tomighty app specificaly for it's simplicity and that it's native so I don't need to keep a pinned browser tab open just for it - love simple things like this that just sit in my system-tray.
I pair it up with Toggl, a time tracking service online to keep reports of what I'm working on, and I find it a huge boon to my productivity and ability to justify the time I spend working on things.
Agreed. I was surprised to not see it mentioned in the article, and only at the bottom here. I love it, it's my goto front-end framework.
ain't nobody got time fo dat
