The best Running Shoe
When it comes to running shoes there's so many of them in this over saturated market that it becomes over whelming with the amount of advertisement promoting different shoe companies. I've bought a lot of shoes in my time from Nike, ADIDAS, Reebok, Asics, Puma etc. and I must say Puma are by far my favorite shoes! They are best value for sure! I've had my puma's for almost 3 years and still wear them no ware and no tear! I got them for 50$ on sale, very light weight and comfortable. They are also stylish, the ones I bought came in red and lime green, you can't get that color anywhere else unless you customize them at a site like Nike ID which can be very costly. I think Puma's go under the radar as well because everyone think's Nike is the best! Nike's are good for about a year then you have to get a new pair they are cheaply made and not worth the money. People buy them because of the popularity factor. The Puma company even gives you a full money back if you're not satisfied with their product! You honestly can't beat that. The only downside is mine got dirty because they were kind of bright red, but it wasn't anything a washer couldn't resolve. Definitely check them out and see if Puma is a shoe you might like! Very high quality and best value as far as running shoes go!

BUILDING ABS
Don't work your abdominal muscles every day. "Physiologically, your abs are like any other muscle in your body," says David Pearson, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., an exercise scientist at Ball State University. Train them only 2 or 3 days a week.
Yup, that's right don't train them everyday!!! All your doing is breaking them down and not allowing them time to grow!

Tips about Running
Running is the best activity a human being can commit to in this life. It is the natural activity of the body. The benefits to the mind, body and soul are more numerous than modern science has yet to conceive.
The benefits on the mind include increased cognitive abilities of concentration, mental speed, mental stability, clarity of thought, and on and on…
The benefits to the body extend to all avenues; especially when running true to nature. Thus running combined with aerobics, dancing, or other agility activities brings running closer to the true natural form. Specific physical benefits include bone density, modest strength (especially in the legs), improved conditioning, regulated breathing, regulated appetite, regulated weight, better heart, better lungs, better intestines, vitality, etc.…
Regardless of religious affiliation, for inspiration, running allows this uninhibited moment moving through the world to be limited only by one’s effort (or capability) with the reward of a pleasant attitude. Furthermore, the instinctual vision and responses during a run require a certain amount of inner self trust; and the more one runs the more comfortable one becomes with this sense of inner flight.
Running is part of the human being’s destiny on this Earth. Even if running is not possible for someone, or if one has already completed a fatiguing run, visualization of running free over the Earth is majestic in and of itself.

Tips for dead lift
know a ton of people that love deads, but are wondering if training them every week with no time off is an issue. To all you people out there, the deadlift is a basic movement. It’s one of the primary movements we as humans perform routinely, as we routinely find a need to bend down and pick sh/t up.
There’s nothing wrong with making exercises you love a staple in your routine as long as it doesn’t interfere with your goals. Let’s say for example, you have 3 herniated discs and your goal is to reduce lumbar load during a rehabilitation period, then deadlifts may not be in the mix of things for you to do.
All that aside, there are many different ways to load, unload, deload, periodize, accommodate, assist, speed up, slow down and do whatever other things you can think of when training your deadlift.
My main concern is that you are not routinely pulling heavy. This will lead to issues. You can’t always move heavy sh/t and not eventually have some kind of problem. Much like everything else in life, it can be used as a stress release technique, although lifting and resistance training causes its own stress, so you need to be careful as to how you utilize it.
A safe way to load the deadlift for a significant period of time is to utilize Jim Wendler’s 5-3-1 program without training to failure on any set. The sets and reps are based off Prelipins chart and are submaximal.
Next, you can perform speed deadlifts. Speed deads are usually performed with 40-60% of your 1RM (1 rep max) and not done to fatigue. They’re a great way to excite the nervous system while stimulating strength and growth.
Another way is to perform them oxidatively. By definition, work becomes aerobic at 2 minutes, so you can perform deadlifts at a steady tempo for 2+ minutes, obviously at low weight, 25% and below. Another variation of aerobic work is interval fashion, perform a higher intensity at a steady tempo for 40 seconds, keep your heart rate within a certain range, once the heart rate drops below that range, get lifting again.
Accommodating resistance is always a favorite with deadlifts. Guys love feeling bad ass when pulling with chains, the sound, the weight, you can tell people how much is on the bar and neglect to explain how it’s only heaviest at the top, it’s pretty sweet. But if done properly, it’s a great way to keep stress off the back initially at the ground where most occurs.
And lastly, shortening the range of motion is always a great choice. For one, it takes the stress off the back from the ground. Next, you can handle more weight and it’s a great ego booster. But again, if done correctly, it’s a very useful tool.
Perform all these variations of the deadlift sub maximally and you’ll be able to perform them routinely with out much of a problem.

Calvin Klein review
First off who doesn't like Calvin Klein? I am personally a huge fan of Calvin Klein products. I wear tee shirts, jeans, polos, vneck, you name it down to their underwear. That's just what I like. They are very comfortable clothes and have great style so you always look sharp! Though they are a bit pricey the cost is definitely worth the money, as this shirt does not shrink! Next time you go out on the town, Wear a Calvin Klein polo and see what luck you have on the ladies or men. Definitely a must buy in my book.

negatives of caffeine
caffeine is a stimulus for the vagal receptors at the stomach, causing the sphincter muscles to work more and eventually become weakened. This allows acid reflux and can irritate the esophagus making it hard to swallow and bringing pain. It also increases acid secretion and if the lining of the stomach is weakened by some drugs and smoking etc , it can lead to peptic ulcers.
