			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I was unsure of what to blog about tonight.  I thought to myself it might be a good night for one of my posts where I would poke fun at some bit of nonsense that was attempting to market to the masses but for some reason whenever I would try to come up with something my mind would just go blank.  So then I thought to myself that I could find my muse by going to an old source that I had gotten a lot of great unbiased info direct from the trenches; infomercialscams.com.  Usually when I go to that site there are quite a bit of things I would be able to talk about but when I googled it google came up with nothing.</p>
<p>I thought to myself &#8220;wtf?&#8221; (and yes I actually thought out the letters instead of what they represent), so I did a little digging to see if I could find it.<br />
<div id="attachment_1105" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://ericjmoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/oft_scam_300.jpg"><img src="http://ericjmoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/oft_scam_300.jpg" alt="" title="oft_scam_300" width="300" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-1105" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Scheming Crafty Aggressive Malicious</p></div><br />
If you are unfamiliar with that site it was essentially a website where people could vent about how they were ripped off and was categorized by individual products.  I would say that the closest thing to it that I could point out is the responses from the people on my <a href="http://ericjmoss.com/shake-weight/">shake weight post</a>.  Well apparently the owner of the unbiased site got tired of fending off lawsuits from the companies backing the infomercial scammers and he sold the site.  The new owners of the site had new ideas.  Rather then keep the site an unbiased place where people could reveal the truth about the products which was supported by advertising the new owners figured they could make a bit of money from the companies where they could buy into a &#8220;consumer protection program&#8221; which supposedly allows companies to hide and even change negative feedback on their products.  </p>
<p>Essentially what they paid for is the ability to<strong> lie to you</strong>.</p>
<p>If you are pissed off too I want to hear about it.  Or if you disagree with me.  I want you to tell the truth about what you are thinking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So a little less then a week ago former Biggest Loser contestant and runner up Kai Hibbard spoke out against the show The Biggest Loser.  Now if you have been following my blog for even a little bit of time you probably know that I am not a fan of the Biggest Loser and think that what they do as inspirational as it is it is at the same time terrible.  In the following video Kai Hibbard brought to light what many of us in the fitness industry already know.  Things like having them eat next to nothing, that they are getting a poor body image, that they were encouraged to dehydrate faster then many wrestlers and mma competitors, getting eating disorders, encouraging unrealistic expectations for viewers (10+ lbs per week!?!?), that they were put into dangerous situations etc.  Here just watch the video for yourself.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RXoKe5QvCrk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RXoKe5QvCrk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now when I first watched the video I applauded her for standing up to the dangerous ways of the Biggest Loser and the things they promote.</p>
<p>And then I learned the <em><strong>whole truth.</strong></em>.</p>
<p>You see as dangerous as the trainers on the Biggest Loser are the one good thing that comes out from them is that there is no magic pill.  Well with the exception of their shameless ads.  When I did a little digging to see why she would suddenly come out against them I discovered that she has become a paid spokesperson for the Livea weight loss supplement company which she was promoting on her <a href="http://www.kaisdiet.com/">blog</a> and if I am not mistaken she is promoting her diet book.  </p>
<p>So basically it was a <em>publicity stunt</em>.  </p>
<p>Does she still believe in hard training and sound nutrition?  I don&#8217;t know. I have been denied access to her blog but one thing is for sure and that is she did in fact have a vested interest.</p>
<p>So what do you think of this whole thing?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright I am fired up again and it is time for me to rant and chew bubble gum&#8230;but I am all outta gum.  You see one of the things that drives me absolutely crazy is when people refuse to see a better way.  Lately I have been attacking sub par programs and I will show evidence why they are sub par.  The object of my attacks lately is the popular home training program p90x.  Now lets take a look at the things p90x claims.  They are the most extreme program blah blah blah.</p>
<p>Yeah really? and that is good why?  and I can think of at least 2 programs more extreme and at least 1 that is better written.  1)crossfit is more extreme 2)Viking warrior conditioning is harder and way better written.  Here I will write a more extreme program right now.  Do 2000 swings.  You have 2 hours to complete that.  Do that everyday.  Is it extreme?  Yes.  Is it productive? No.  You see there is more to exercise science then hard work or some marketing term like muscle confusion.  Remember confusion prevents progress.</p>
<p>Now as far as being the best for fat loss&#8230;it isn&#8217;t.  Watch this video and you will see why.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZZrTCUZrgBo&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZZrTCUZrgBo&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>  5-8 hours a week for fat loss (p90x) compared to 3 hours a week (<a href="http://www.turbulencetrainingadvantage.com">TurbulenceTrainingAdvantage.com</a>) for the same results.  Its pretty clear the TurbulenceTraining is better for fat loss.  Point made?  I think so.  If you refuse to see the logic with your own brain&#8230;well I done my part.  You can bring a horse to water but you can&#8217;t make it drink.  You can present a superior way of training to a dumbass but it wont make them think.  That is why there are so many people so few results.</p>
<p>Now another claim about p90x is that it will make you perform better.  Better then what?  Try out the way I do things.  Hardstyle.  The hardstyle camp that I come from has some of the strongest fittest people on earth.  We are pretty consistent with that too.  1 handed chins is fairly common place with us.  Rolling up frying pans, pistol squats and resting heart rates of a marathon runner with the strength of an ox is the type we have.  Name some p90xplorers that can do what we can, even at our most basic levels.</p>
<p>Now some have come back with the whole yoga is best for flexibility thing and that plyometrics are used to train pro athletes.  Let me ask you something&#8230;Do you really think that that version of yoga is what the yogis do?  And do you actually believe that when you are jumping around the living room like an idiot that you are really doing the same kind of program that pro athletes are doing?  Face it.  All it is is good marketing and so so program design.  Seek out the best methods of doing things and you will find them.  If you ignore them you are a mullet and whats worse is you are a mullet that is beyond help.  If that is you then please leave my blog and don&#8217;t ask me stupid questions like what kind of crunch is best.</p>
<p>The answer is no crunch is best.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment --> This sorta is and sorta isn&#8217;t really fitness related.  I was watching a show<br />
last night about internet scams and how regular people like you and I can<br />
get tricked.  The show was actually Oprah which isn&#8217;t a show I normally<br />
watch but I just happened to be watching this episode.  The scams range<br />
from romance, charity the lottery etc.  So that got me thinking about how<br />
close that kind of thing is to the fitness industry.  I just read in an article on<br />
wikipedia about scams about how in order to gain confidence in a &#8220;mark&#8221;<br />
they will have accomplices pose as random strangers who have benefitted<br />
from the product.  It is the same as all of those testimonials you see on the<br />
fat loss pills.  Many times they actually take the after picture first&#8230;pay a fit<br />
person toget fat and then take the before picture (I didn&#8217;t do that for mine<br />
by the way).  I see it all the time with these worthless ab devices.  You want<br />
hard abs try eating correctly and a set of dragonflags (see bullet proof abs below)<br />
will be much better then spending your hard earned money on a silly ab device.</p>
