It was just a few months ago in October that the California Medical Association adopted a position urging the legalization of marijuana at its annual meeting. At the time, I reported that the California Medical Association acknowledged in its position that marijuana carries health risks, not unlike the use of nicotine and alcohol, but qualified that it should also be legal and regulated like nicotine and alcohol, arguing that the effects of prohibition have caused more harm to public health and families than the potential risks of marijuana use. ]]> Wed, 18 Jan 2012 08:25:02 -0600 http://fitmarker.com/misc/ama-study-reveals-no-lung-damage-from-casual-marijuana-smoking/ http://fitmarker.com/recipes/protein-powder-recipes-healthy-protein-powder-recipes/ Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:12:21 -0500 http://fitmarker.com/recipes/protein-powder-recipes-healthy-protein-powder-recipes/ http://fitmarker.com/foodnutrition/the-effect-of-short-periods-of-caloric-restriction-on-weight-loss-and-glycemic-control-in-type-2-diabetes/ Fri, 23 Sep 2011 03:48:29 -0500 http://fitmarker.com/foodnutrition/the-effect-of-short-periods-of-caloric-restriction-on-weight-loss-and-glycemic-control-in-type-2-diabetes/ http://fitmarker.com/healthy-eating/heres-the-skinny-on-food-addiction/ Sat, 24 Sep 2011 00:49:06 -0500 http://fitmarker.com/healthy-eating/heres-the-skinny-on-food-addiction/ http://fitmarker.com/weight-training/resistance-exercise-inter-set-cooling-strategy-study/ "Incorporating inter-set external cooling augments the number of repetitions per set during RE without inducing an additional muscle damage biomarker response. Basically, ice your muscles in between sets. ]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:17:25 -0500 http://fitmarker.com/weight-training/resistance-exercise-inter-set-cooling-strategy-study/ http://fitmarker.com/weight-training/study-shows-vibration-training-is-fcking-useless/ The Abstract: " No significant differences were observed in isokinetic strength or CMJ, and 3RM significantly increased in both groups (P < 0.001): 64.2 kg (52% of baseline) in PL + RES, and 46.9 kg (43%) in WBV + RES. The addition of WBV to resistance training during 8 weeks, in recreationally active young adults, did not result in a larger muscular performance improvement compared to an identical exercise program in absence of vibration. Muscle mass also seemed to be equally affected with or without vibration, yet body fat could be exclusively decreased by WBV. Further research is required to clarify whether WBV, as a complement to resistance training, produces additional specific benefits." While most intelligent individuals could've guessed the outcome without the need for a study, it's always nice to have some hard numbers. Stop shaking. Start lifting. ]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:55:08 -0500 http://fitmarker.com/weight-training/study-shows-vibration-training-is-fcking-useless/ http://fitmarker.com/strength-training/the-westside-barbell-conjugate-method-a-users-guide/ Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:06:53 -0500 http://fitmarker.com/strength-training/the-westside-barbell-conjugate-method-a-users-guide/
