Offer still stands. L-glutamine and glutamine peptides are perfectly legal in Canada, so border issues aren't an excuse.

Huh. I haven't popped onto this board in a while; I didn't expect this thread to be resurrected. Glutamine IS an insulin secretagogue and an alkaline pH buffer, but I still question the efficacy vs cost benefit of either. For guys who have been loading heavy PWO, the glycogen repletion would...

Addition of glutamine to essential amino acids and carbohydrate does not enhance anabolism in young human males following exercise. * Wilkinson SB, * Kim PL, * Armstrong D, * Phillips SM. Exercise Metabolism Research Group, Department of Kinesiology, McMaster University, 1280 Main St. West...

He did quite well, and I have no doubt he left a great impression with fans and UFC officials. His striking was crisp and his guard was solid. Koscheck was pretty much saved by the bell when Joslin had him in a triangle. Fighting a wrestler of that caliber has to be frustrating, but Joslin...

Just to add some fuel to the fire: Aikido GM vs Karate BB/BJJ Purple Belt I can't confirm the validity of anything in the video, but a guy has to wonder how in the fuck he got his 200-0 record in "MMA/Vale Tudo" LOL. He obviously can't take a shot to the face.

Flagyl and Cipro are fairly common antibitoics that have been used for over 20 years. I wouldn't worry about their side effects; I'd be more concerned as to why he's treating non-bacterial prostatitis with these. I'd make the quick assumption that you have a follow up in 10-14 days, and he's...

You may be thinking of Rob MacDonald, who is from Toronto.

Did you ever find the cause?

There's a huge pool of untapped talent in Canada. Prime example is Jason MacDonald, who embarrased Ed Herman a while back. Originally from Red Deer, Alberta, and now fighting out of Edmonton. He's on the fight card for UFC 66 against Chris Leben. I'd take Herman over Leben, so I imagine...

Well said. I've heard anecdotal stories of Aikido vs MT, Aikido vs Karate, and you can guess how they turned out. And to those who don't know, one of the main aspects of an Aikido class is learning how to "accept" techniques. That is why everything looks fluid and effortless.

Exactly. To actually accomplish anything, you have to put in endless hours, at the sacrifice of workouts and a social life. (A real social life) While I think MMOs are great concepts, the last one I played was SWG. But since then I've sworn off ALL MMOs. Closest thing I occasionally play...

Did you get any video or pics of him at the gym?

No kidding...I checked the rates, and had to pick my eyeballs up off the floor. And I was worried about paying 50 bucks a month at two different gyms, LOL. Now I understand how they can have the trainers they have, and bring in guys like Mirko.

Holy hell. I'm not even sure what to say other than that. I'm in your boat, I'd love to spar with him, for the exact same reasons. MAN! Cro-cop in your gym. That's incredible. That school sounds top notch. They must have a serious cash flow going on there to bring in guys like that.

I think instead of bashing Franklin, guys need to look at just how skilled Silva is. Do you think Franklin did nothing but train BJJ?? He was 22-1 for a reason. Of course he trained MT, since that's what Silva is best known for. As far as standup, I'd easily say (as an armchair critic, of...
