Jamcore Team Blogs

The response below is from Jamie Yu. I thought I would post my reply to his comments for all to see, so look for those below as well...

"Brian, I have been reading your blogs and watching the vids you produced for us guys on here and I have noticed you aren't a massive proponent on 'high' protein regimes.
For myself on the other hand, I'm afraid that I am a proponent of high protein diets, we at least 2.5g per kilogram of bodyweight (erring on the side of lean bodyweight where possible).

Hey guys
I came across this study presented a while back at NSCA Conference. The study found that straight bar activates the biceps MORE than E-Z Curl bar. So if forearm strain isn't an issue, stick to straight bar to build bigger biceps.
What do you guys think? Straight bar or E-Z Curl for mass on the biceps.

Hey guys
Here is an interesting study from Obstetrics and Gynecology that interviewed 1900 women in their 7th month of pregnancy. What they found was that in about 9 percent of the women who worked nights in their first trimester had a 50 percent increased risk of premature labor.
Now obviously we need more studies to examine this issue but it does raise an important issue about avoiding grave-yard shifts during pregnancy.

FREQUENT fighting and HARSH words are damaging to your health.

General consequences in women:

We all know that mammograms are the main method for detecting breast cancer. However, mammograms are not the perfect screening tool as they do miss cases on occasions. Thus, there has been a lot of interest lately in using MRI as screening tools for Breast Cancer. Some studies have shown that MRI's can detect additional lesions that are not visible on Mammograms in as much as 27-37% of patients. 1

Good news, it may not be your fault that you have a craving for fat foods! and one day you might be able to rid yourself of it! A study done on rodents and published in Journal of Clinical Investigation showed that rats with normal taste buds show an inclination for fatty foods as oppose to rats with some of their fat receptors removed (CD36 receptor which is found in tissues that store fat). The authors of the study do NOT know if this taste bud exists in humans, but if it does, it can be one small factor in explaining why some people are more susceptible to weight gain than others.

Hey guys
Here is a fun little study.
Researchers founds that swimming with dolphins can reduce depressive symptoms more effectively than swimming alone. Okay now before you all jump in the ocean, let look at the numbers. The researchers ONLY studied 30 patients with MILD to MODERATE depression. All of the patients stopped their antidepressant medications or psychotherapy for at least four weeks before the study.
The results: 9 out of 10 patients who swam and interacted with dolphins stated improvement in their symptoms.

I am super-thrilled to be the newest addition of athletes supporting a wonderful cause to bring awareness and end the cruel and abusive acts of dog fighting. This organization is "KNOCK OUT DOG FIGHTING" www.knockoutdogfighting.org

Elite athletes already on the team are my fellow (www.knoxxgear.com) Knoxx Sponsored athletes: StrikeForce current lightweight champion - Josh "the punk" Thomson, StrikeForce current middleweight champion - Cung Le and UFC fighter Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. Razor Rob McCullough and Former UFC Champion, Tito Ortiz also support this awesome cause.

You may have seen some new photos of me recently but not heard from me lately, so I thought I’d write a little story, hoping once again to instill some motivation. I’m big on that! I just think it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut!
