Ehhh…. I think Paleo has its merits, and I’ve read Sisson’s book on it, and I’d tend to agree that diet will have a big factor in general health levels, but I’m not going to totally give up grains in the hope of living to be disease free at 150 years of age.

I’m starting to pay more attention to what I eat, but if I ever become some kool-aid drinking Paleo zealot, I want someone to force feed me cream buns.

Yah, that aspect of it is a bit weird to be honest. And the whole 'paleo cures everything that can possibly be wrong with you' thing annoys the sh!te out of me sometimes too:)

Having read The Paleo Solution, and done the 30 day challenge (I adhered to 100% paleo), I have to say the results (dropped a lot of BF but retained size) were fasntastic.

There is a bit of daftness with it's claims (it cures cancer and can bring people back from the dead), but overall it does feel great once you're into it. Just a very 'natural' feel to it, and the lack of grains did bring down bloating a hell of a lot, as did eliminating dairy.

However, personally I'd be more inclined to side with the primal side of things - seems a tad more relaxed and do-able in the real world.

On-topic, good article, as a bad workout pisses me off to no small degree. It's excruciating to NOT get a decent squat or deadlift when you know you can, or else you're getting out of breath too quick... but at the end of the day, this ain't what pays the bills and feeds us, so putting a limiter on temper tantrums is a good idea.

I read the first 14 words of that article.

I then read the by line.

I can safely say that's a load of bollox.

TL;DR...

Don't get upset about a bad training session, just try to do better next time.

Really.
2 articles to say just that.

I have been meaning to come back to it and read the bits on actual weightlifting. I got sick of it all after the 3rd article on American culture and sports.

Sure hasn't Rip already decided that it's a lack of low bar back squats? What's to discuss?

As far as I know the problem with Irish weightlifting is that we’re too strong?! But can’t move a wooden stick the right way?

I think Charles Wesley Smith's article on the subject was the best.
In that they were to the point, didn't involve endless descriptions of other sports and thoroughly debunked the whole "not strong enough" thing.

No, we're much better than the Americans at hurling.
