		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, I wrote a post on the subject of adrenal fatigue. I don&#8217;t recall exactly what prompted the rant, but I&#8217;m sure it had something to do with a personal trainer or MD-turned-author trying to make a quick buck by pushing supplements. It really annoyed me (still does, really) that people who should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Awhile back, when I was talking about heavy daily training, I wrote a post about inflammation and how this contributes to the common feeling of &#8216;overtraining&#8217; (which is probably better termed &#8216;staleness&#8217;). There&#8217;s a lot to be said about this topic. I&#8217;ve said a lot already, and there&#8217;s still plenty more to go. Overtraining, overreaching, [...]]]></description>

Criminologists want to know what makes people act up and steal, or rob you in the street for crack, or stab their neighbors in the face. That&#8217;s social deviance.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been getting some questions about recovery methods and strategies, given how I&#8217;ve been training recently. I figured that would make a good update for this week. Recovery methods can be broadly grouped into three categories: organizational, manual/external, and chemical.

		<description><![CDATA[Inflammation is thought to be a proximate cause of overtraining. Inflammation is associated with feelings of perceived stress &#038; fatigue, immune system depression, and disturbed mood &#038; sleep. Inflammation signals central fatigue. Inflammation is strongly associated with the metabolic syndrome, which can do nasty things to nutrient partitioning. Did I mention that inflammation makes you [...]]]></description>

The trend these days is to play up the role of strength-based training and &#8216;functional&#8217; (sic) training methods, getting away from the older bodybuilding culture that&#8217;s dominated the popular conception of weight-lifting since at least the 1960s.
