ReplyDeleteG'night!
For anyone who has NOT registered yet for Warrior Dash....the earliest wave available was 5 pm....I had to wait to register for personal reasons so I just did it. I may be alone out there but I'll do it...unless there are other last minute warriors!!!
ReplyDeleteA couple things:
ReplyDeleteI can't do pistols as low as the guy in the demo, I don't have the flexibility yet, do I do them as low as possible or sub? Also, is it 20 per leg each round or 20 total? Lastly, doing this at work and no barbells so what # db should I use for deadlift? Thanks and Kelly I'm registering this weekend for the dash.

Enjoyed the video, but have one beef with it. The majority of research is not funded by pharma, the NIH (government agency) actually spends A LOT of our tax payer dollars on biomedical research (and other types of research) as well. If you can keep up with Obama, he is giving the NIH $200 million every other day!
ReplyDeleteKick some ass Nate & Albia-

Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteRegardless of who funds the research, what good has really come of it? Yes, a great deal of the research money is that of the NIH(us, the taxpayers). But that research is the underpinning of pharmaceutical research. The public sector does the legwork, figuring out the mechanisms behind the diseases, then the drug companies research the treatments. Some numbers here: In 1980, pharmaceutical companies spent $5.5 billion in R&D (2005 dollars), in 2004 they spent $49 billion, compare that to the Federal Governments spending of $25 billion on health related research. source: 2006 congressional budget office study http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/76xx/doc7615/10-02-DrugR-D.pdf
Let's take diabetes for one. Diabetes and it's related complications cost $174 billion. %10 of all healthcare money is spent on diabetes. $4.9 billion on drugs to treat the disease.
Imagine if only a fraction of that money were spent on prevention? Type 2 diabetes is %100 preventable. Heart disease is %100 preventable. I will not say that pharmaceutical intervention has no place, but by and large I truly think it is nothing more that a bandaid trying to cover a gunshot wound.
That's my 2 cents.
Good luck Nate and Albia. Drink a bunch of Kool Aid and kick ass.
