    extended high output for the heart is bad, but only if you're doing it in a bad way. getting your heart rate up for an extended amount of time is perfectly fine so long as you've worked up to the level you're training at (but this is true for any exercise). yes studies show that max training will bring about an immune deficiency, but this isn't a bad thing. The build up of muscle almost always lowers your white cell count. Testosterone in general isn't really that "good" for your immune system. The difference is the people who are in that knd of shape are also in general much healthier overall. the rest i pretty much agree totally with, especially that we need the captain for this discussion, his knowledge trumps mine hands down.

    yep, i completely agree on getting your proper fats (like the dairy, fish works too) but NONE of these fats come from a fryer!

    Well it irks me when people diet the wrong way. They count calories, starve themselves, cut out food groups, make themselves vomit, all to lose a few pounds? They are going about it the completely wrong way. Instead of starving yourself, lets eat more. More specifically lets eat more grains and meats, also lets work out to build muscle. Strength training will build muscle,muscle will consume adipose tissue much faster than slowly starving yourself. When you don't eat, your body goes into panic mode, it's natural instincts is to use as little energy as possible because it knows it's not eating, so when you finally do eat your body is still in panic mode, it will store everything you eat as adipose tissue and only consume enough to get by. Another thing, muscle tissue is easier for your body to consume, that means when you don't eat enough to keep your body going it will literally eat it's own muscle, the person will brag about how they lost a few pounds, those few pounds were muscle and they really needed it, it was burning the fat that they are really trying to loose. I think I'm done with my rant/metabolism lesson I have a few questions... why is counting calories bad if you have a balanced diet? To build muscle you need lots of protein and not everyone wants to strength train, so what are the options for those people? Why should people increase meat in their diet? We, as a nation, already eat way too much meat and just about any high carb country has extremely better heart health than us overall. Did you mean lean meat while cutting out junk foods and high fat foods? Why shouldn't men do aerobic exercise again? It's one of the best ways to ensure heart health which is a huge problem in men, strength training will not give you the future heart health that real aerobic exercise will, even though I will agree that the BMR of a strength trainer should be higher than that of an aerobic trainer. I can't speak for the calorie counting, but as for gaining muscle without strength training, that will be pretty diffocult. Muscle only grows via excercizing it. I think your definition of meat and perception of too much is different from what duran is saying. I read lean meat. I also included poultry and fish into that category. I would also challenge that we eat too much meat in the US. I think most US people are deficient in protein, and meat is a great way to get it into your diet. Anerobic exercise is just better for loosing fat, especialy in the abdominal area than aerobic. It's not bad to do aerobic exercise, but there isn't much point to it past the 30 min mark unless it's training for something specific. For general health it's much less important. What i meant was aerobic exercise is better for health, not for losing weight or gaining muscle (actually it's catabolic and does break down muscle). If you want to lose weight you definitely have to build muscle to burn that fat up and increase your resting metabolism rate. The aerobic exercise is for your heart health first and most. The benefits of aerobic exercise are simply too numerous to list but the simple ones are lower bp, and less fats sticking to your arteries. I forget the amount but it's a staggering % of trans fats that aren't absorbed if you have done aerobic exercise within Xhrs of eating the foods. I agree totally on the fish, I just wanted to clarify that not all meats are equal, and if you want to increase your meat intake you better be increasing your other food groups, veggies and dairy are extremely important. Don't knock milk fat either, plenty of studies are coming out now that show that full fat milk actually helps you lose weight, not gain it. I still stick by, the #1 thing to do is eat a balanced diet that avoids shitty foods. get outside and off the damn computer or away from the TV and pretty much everything else will follow.

    don't feel bad beats, every time i reread my posts i feel like i'm being bitchy, which in real life i don't really give a fuck about much of anything

    Sorry not all those were aimed at Duran, and while i do agree with the message you all may be trying to get across, there's wayyyy too much misinformation in there.

  12. don't think you can bridge the two channels to a 2ohm load, you need to just run a mono signal to the two channels going to the sub and hook one coil to each channel.
  13. if you're not looking for 1337 forum users then don't go to a forum for your question, go back to the shop that did your install. btw the answer to your questions are.... very yes
  14. my advice is listen to the people that have tried to help you, we asked for pics and you give them to us once someone else already did a hack job....

    wow the board just went completely wacky on me
  21. too much power probably. you can't just set the amp to 4v because that's the HU's voltage, you have to set your gains properly.

    is that a rapper or a sub? ( i could honestly see it going either way)

    Lmfao keep up your attitude and not even you will be posting in this thread. You want to contribute to the discussion fine, you wanna act like a bitch then you can take a vacation.

    once again, i can see your reading comprehension is astonishing, the sitting in traffic thing was to prove a point. That is the easiest way to find shit to steal, not by running tags
  25. vladd replied to Jakethesnake's topic in Off Topic
    really??? so everyone in the state of texas has seen my car already and knows where i live.... wow. and someone that can run 28's does not know how to ping.. so your lost on that too... eitherway. my plates done come back to where i keep my car so it dont matter eitherway. i just didnt like a stright up pic of my plate and my plate only on the site. your reading comprehension is ....appropriate. I did not say that everyone in the state of texas has seen yoru car already and knows where you live. I said that anyone that's close enough to go rob your ass by your plates can also recognize your car on the street and look at your tag to get the number. on top of that, if you want a low level approach, there's a mccoy's in the background with an unusual sign (most are just rectangle on a pole i'm betting). go to mccoy's website and look at their locations, google each one of them and look at the google maps street view. Find the one that matches and you've seriously narrowed down your area. or instead of doing any of this, you can just sit in your car in traffic and note the people playing bass loudly....then follow
