Here is an old analysis that seems right on track: http://www.theonion.com/articles/even-ceo-cant-figure-out-how-radioshack-still-in-b,2190/

What's amazing is that they didn't go out of business years ago.

Diet is absolutely critical in losing body fat (note that I did not say losing weight). It is a heck of a lot easier to not eat 500 calories than to expend 500 calories on a treadmill or even in the weight room. That said, muscle burns more calories than fat. And losing weight only...

You were too nice. I would have just cut back (I did that at a line at Ocean Breeze Waterpark a few weeks ago, with my son). THEN what would he have done, lol?

Regarding your earlier question to me (I don't hang around ET all that much anymore) I will leave a rep or two "in the tank" on my light days. I will not train to failure. Light days and heavy days are both short in duration. 45 minutes, on average. I used to do much more volume when I was...

I can only go all out once a week without burning out. I am going on 44 in less than a week. I keep going until I can do no more. Here is how I do "all out": I load the bar with all of the weight I can lift for 4 or so reps, and then remove weight and keep cranking out 4 more with the...

Whey consists of around 1/4 BCAAs. To get enough of the BCAAs to maximize muscle protein synthesis, one would have to consume 4 servings of whey. 1 serving of the whey protein in my pantry (Champion) is 130 calories (I use it on non-training days to keep appetite low). 130 cal X 4 = 520 cal...

You could do BCAAs before AND after. 5-10 grams each time. Esp after. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8563679 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20044472

Blood sugar doesn't move around wildly like the price of Knight Capital Group stock. Rather, it is fairly stable. If I can workout fasted, I will (taking BCAA's beforehand makes sense). Problem is, I don't train early morning unless it is on the weekend. Fasting until a 4 or 5 PM workout...

DL are a great compound exercise, and I do them, but I just don't feel comfortable about going all out. Some guys do max weight with just 4-6 reps, and while I do that with everything else, I have seen enough injuries in my time to know that one sloppy mistake can do tremendous damage. I'll...

As I said, one can get a good back without doing DL. If done incorrectly, DLs can easily ruin one's back. Herniated disks, sprains, strains, among other injuries. If done correctly, DLs can strengthen one's back and even eliminate back pain. Problem is, many don't do DLs correctly...

I've been working out for 28 years, and I have been around long enough and have seen enough youtube videos to know that many lifters (not just beginners) do not know how to squat properly or how to deadlift properly. If one does not have the form down right, one can still get most of the...

No, it's not just you. Sissy squats can be hard on the knees.

Funny how in his MLB career he had to look out for balls to the chin, and now he has to all over again...

He tried to commit suicide in a Chevy Cavalier. At least we know he didn't blow the $225 million or so on luxury automobiles.

It was/is a FREE magazine, essentially a slick marketing device to hook people into trading (with PFG of course). Cheap bathroom reading. Bodybuilding magazines do the same thing: own supplement companies and then promote their products within. M&F, Flex, MD. Is it no wonder that traders...

You always leg out of flies/condors if one of the spreads trades in pennies? Hope things are well. I miss fattail.

In stocks calendars work best when you are predicting a move DOWN (because a move down tends to increase vol). I stocks butterflies work best when you are predicting a move UP (because a move up tends to decrease vol). It can be different in commodities, though, and that is reflected in...

Basically a calendar is long volatility (because of the long option is back-month, and the short option is fron-month); and if AAPL goes up, volatility will likely go down.

In time, the quacks go out of business, and the few real products that are backed by peer-reviewed science and actually work remain on the market (or do so until they are banned). In the end, there is no substitute for a lifestyle (not just a short-term plan) involving eating clean and...
