Well, I took on this experiment to find out if performing twenty snatches per day and not changing any thing else would cause any sort of weight loss. The results are in.
New 30 Day Experiment- Snatches
So it’s been two months since I ended the 30 day biceps experiment. So, what’s happened since then? I haven’t’ done any biceps curls since then and my arms have reverted back to 14.75 inches, which was my beginning arm size. But guess what, I didn’t regain the weight either.
If you read my end of the biceps experiment post, then you know I lost four pounds while on the experiment, without even trying.
Now I will be trying one arm kettlebell snatches with a light weight to see if I get the same type of fat loss results.
Aspartame in Vitamins
I used to take Flintstones vitamins every once in awhile as a kid and even as an adult. I liked the fact that I could split it in half easily to take a smaller dose if I wanted to. I bought a new bottle not to long ago and just so happened to read the label of ingredients one day as I was watching television.
Low and behold, what did I find among them? Aspartame. Are you kidding me? I couldn’t believe it. I instantly threw the entire bottle out, flushing my money down the drain. The other day I went back to the drug store searching and hoping that it was just that particular type, but nope. All the Flintstones vitamins for sale there included aspartame as an ingredient. Needless to say I am totally disappointment in their mother company for allowing this to occur.
I am now in search of a new vitamin. Any healthy recommendations?
Fast Breakfast Ideas: Breakfast Muffins
If you’re anything like me, you don’t wake up in the morning saying– “I can’t wait to get showered, get dressed and then cook breakfast.”
Most days I don’t even feel like eating until I’ve been awake for at least two hours. And hopefully the dishes that I need to use were actually cleaned last night. So low and behold I found this recipe online that I would like to share. I haven’t had a chance to make it yet as my muffin tin has somehow gone MIA. I might just have to get a new one.
It’s basically an egg breakfast muffin. It does take some prep time, but according to the writer is easy to freeze and then reheat again in the microwave. I definitely need to give this a try. Any body else tried it yet?

An end to the 30 day biceps curl experiment
When I began the 30 day experiment both of my arms measured in at fourteen and three quarter inches (14.75). At the end of 30 days my arms now measure fifteen and one sixteenth inches (15-1/16). That’s over a quarter of an inch in thirty days.
What Will Happen To My Biceps By Doing Curls This Way?
As you may or may not know I like to do experiments on myself. My newest experiment will be a bicep curl experiment. My goal is to see what, if any are the effects of doing bicep curls with a light weight frequently.
My classification of a light weight is one that I can easily do 20 reps or more. This is what I will be doing…
1. I will do 20 bicep curls every day using a 15# dumbbell
2. I will do no more than 10 reps at a time
3. I will not do all 20 reps at once
4. I will split up the reps throughout the day so that the total for the day is 20.
5. I will do this everyday for 30 days
6. I will not do any specific triceps work (triceps ext, skull crushers)
7. I will continue doing other exercises like pull-ups, deadlifts and dips
Beginning on march 25, 2013 I will begin this program. I am curious to see what this will accomplish. Will my biceps get bigger? Will they get smaller? Or will it just be a waste of time. I’ll post the breakdown along with my wod weekly log.
Day 1 arm measurement: 14.75 inches

The 1 Minute Review: The Warrior Diet
I read the warrior diet and I even tried it for a few days. Why only a few days? Because I always found myself insatiable. The concept is to under eat during the day. Not fast. This means you are supposed to eat fruits, vegetables, salads; basically “good for you” foods. Then in the evening, have an eating window where you over feed and eat most of your calories for the day.

How To Control The Size Of Snacks
Sometimes if I get my snack on, I don’t even realize how much I’m eating. I can easily go through an entire bag of Cheese Doodles in one sitting. And I’m not talking about the itty bitty $0.25 bag. I’m talking about the big ‘ole giant family size bag.
