    Coffee (caffeine) helps you wake up in the morning - actually water does and does it better

    No, while the Coriolis Effect exists, it's not strong enough to be seen in toilets or water drains.

    That we go from one crisis to another and are in mortal peril like never before.

    We have never been so peaceful, prosperous or safer...but fear is profitable.

    High reps and low weights bulk you up ..or alternatively high reps and high weights bulk you up...neither is true.

    Bulking is a fairly complex process requiring both high reps of a moderately heavy weight and at least some with a really heavy weight.

    I.E low reps with a heavy weight isn't going to do much similarly high reps with a low weight will probably only train the muscle a little for endurance.


    High reps with a low weight only increase your endurance. They won't bulk you up.

    And if you really want to bulk you actually need high reps with a heavy weight.

    It doesn't say how many there were, just that three types of gifts were given.

    Orson Welles radio play of the The War Of The Worlds was reported to have caused mass panic among people who thought it was a real news broadcast. In reality in was a fabrication by makers of newspapers who were afraid of losing their popularity to the new invention of radio.

    High reps with a low weight only increase your endurance. They won't bulk you up.

    And if you really want to bulk you actually need high reps with a heavy weight.

    Eating more and lifting bulks you up. Eating less more healthily while still lifting cuts fat and leaves you with a lot of the muscle you bulked.

    Lifting loads of reps then heavy weights then loads of reps in cycles every 6-10 weeks and following Starting strength then German volume then starting strength for two or three years whilst slowly bulking and cutting for 6 months at a time is enough to get you to a level where you might need a coach to push you on to the next level.

    This is true

    Also Adam and Eve didn't eat an apple.

    Or at least in the Torah it isn't

    The source of this misconception is that the Latin word mălum, meaning “evil,” was associated with mālum, another Latin word, borrowed from Greek, meaning “apple.”

    It was an etrog some people call it a citron.

    Nope with the eating. You don't need to eat more calories to build muscle.

    The rest ....well it depends different individuals react differently to different programs you have to find what works for you and optimizes your personal strengths. Genes and or eh ..substances come in to it a lot.

    Yes. The Aldi (Aldi Nord) we don’t get here is very grim in comparison.
