    I wish my gym was having a Christmas party. And that I was friends with everyone there. All I've got is some work excuse for piss-up. Do not want.

    I'm having a Christmas party with the MMA club - I'm gonna try to convince everyone to have it in the actual club, so we can stick on the gloves and beat the crap out of each other, while steamed! What could possibly go wrong?

    Yeah, tis pretty nice, to this day the nicest steak dinner i've had was a "fillet trio" in Paris.
    3 100g fillets, beef, buffalo & ostrich, serves with the usual, choice of sauce etc




    Has anyone ever had a dexa scan done?
    Was thinking of getting bf% measure with calipers, i've contacted a few guys and they are trying to sell bigger services, basically, biosignature type advice to problem areas.
    The dexa scan, alone with no analysis is cheaper?

    Thoughts

    I've never had a dexa scan done, I get my BF% measured on a continuous basis with the same person taking the measurements using a capilers.

    Are you planning getting a once off measurement or will it be more continuous monitoring? Based on this article http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/problems-with-measuring-body-composition.html you are probably better off getting the dexa scan. Then you could 'calibrate' the reading yourself with another method such as by photos or taking your own skinfold measurements or getting one of those bio-impedence BF scales and monitor your status from then on.

    Buffalo and ostrich are nice, but you can't beat warthog fillet. Seriously. It's a slighty darker colour than pork but is as tender as veal. And is absolutely savage! Had it a couple of times in Zimbabwe earlier this year.

    CFI are having their christmas party at the gym. I can see it now drunken thrusters and kipping pullups to a cacophony of camera flashes right after of course popping that shirt off.

    I've had a DEXA scan done. It was delightfully free as I work in a facility that has one. We also have a BodPod, which I find more accurate. The DEXA is great for bone density, obviously enough.

    I'd prefer Venison over any meat I've had so far.Its very lean though so you have to know how to cook it or its gonna dry out real sharpish.Its lovely with a red wine marinade.

    well if ya like steak ull def like it, what i had there was like when ya get a particularly strong tasting steak. Im very lucky though, I found out my cuz has taken up hunting and my familys land and surrounding area is infested with them and he just gives away any excess he has

    Why do you find the bod pod more accurate? I thought dexa was direct measurement of density, where others (calipers, hydrostatic, maybe bod pod) assume density values.
    What sort of difference are you talking between the two.

    It's not that expensive for a dexa scan, they offer various packages where he give a complete explanation and run through various things for an hour afterwarsd, but I just what the scan. It's mostly just for me, so I know my own figure, then use pics and tape from here for a few months, then repeat maybe in 6 months

    I doubt he has a deer rifle if he just took up hunting, you'll prob have to wait a while for freebies.

    hmm, never had boar, would love to try it.
    I kinda have a running thing where I try out strange meats, (not all are strange, just not supermarket stuff)
    on top of buffalo and ostrich, there's been rabbit and about 4 or 5 different game birds, venison, kangaroo and I passed on crocodile, looked awful

    A lecture on broad time and modal domains as it applies to drinking and getting smashed would go down well. With notable mention to the drinking of gin.

    Croc isn't too bad at all. It's got the texture of a fleshy, meaty type of white fish and would you believe it, tastes like chicken. Had a nice Croc burger up in Cairns earlier this year.

    Croc is good alright, yeah it does tastes like chicken.

    Shark is nice too, kind of like cod, nice and meaty with no bones either.

    I had a lot of camel stew in Africa, it was awesome. The best meat though was the goat that we bought, killed, skinned and roasted ourselves - it wasnt necessarily the best tasting meat, but it was fantastically satisfying to kill your own food and eat it :D Raging I didn't try boar, I've heard it's really good.
