Side effect of protein powder.

 

That small dose of powder that you throw into your favourite shake may seem harmless, but there are lots of protein powder side effects to think about. This is not to say that protein powder doesn’t have its place, but it never hurts to know about both the pros and cons of this ingredient.
For the most part, the side effects of protein powder only occur when this ingredient is used improperly. Realistically, you shouldn’t be ingesting more than 40 grams of protein per meal. In addition, you should never live solely off of protein powder shakes.
Thus, if you skip food altogether, you might be asking for lots of different side effects. Some of these side effects include an upset stomach, kidney stones, and overproduction of acid inside of your stomach. However, if you add protein shakes to a healthy, balanced, diet, you probably won’t experience any side effects.
Aside from those that suffer side effects as a result of improper use, some people may be intolerant of protein powder. Lactose intolerance will often cause discomfort while using protein powder. If you are lactose intolerant, make sure to purchase whey protein isolate.
Isolate does not contain as much lactose as regular protein powder, so this is the best choice for those with lactose issues. If you keep the aforementioned things in mind while you mix those shakes, you shouldn’t be faced with any kind of serious protein problem.
Now that you know about the possible side effects of protein powder, you can decide if this ingredient is something that you want to use. In most cases, protein is relatively harmless, since it is something that they body needs anyway. Still, knowing as much as you can about protein powder is important.

Kayaking / Canoeing.

Kayaking
  

Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. Kayaking is generally differentiated from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is defined by the International Canoe Federation (the world sanctioning body) as a boat where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double bladed paddle. Almost all kayaks have big decks, however, there are many sit-on-top kayaks, and these boats are growing in popularity. A canoe is defined as a boat where the paddler faces forward and sits or kneels in the boat, using a single bladed paddle. Canoes can be closed deck or open deck.
Whitewater kayaking involves taking a kayak down rapids. Sea kayaking, sometimes referred to as Ocean Kayaking, involves taking kayaks out on to the ocean or other open water e.g., a lake. Sea kayaking can involve short paddles with a return to the starting point or "put-in" or expeditions covering many miles and days. Kayaking of all kinds has continued to increase in general popularity through the 1990s and early 21st century.
Kayaks are classified by their intended use. There are six primary classifications: polo, slalom, whitewater, surf, touring/expedition, light touring/day tripping and general recreation. From these primary classifications stem many sub-classes. For example, a fishing kayak is simply a general recreation kayak outfitted with features and accessories that make it an easier kayak from which to fish. A creek kayak is a certain type of whitewater kayak, designed to handle narrow gully type rivers and falls. Also within these classifications are many levels of performance which further separate the individual models. In other words, not all touring kayaks handle the same.
There are two major configurations of kayaks: "sit on tops" which, as the name suggests, involves sitting on top of the kayak in an open area, and "cockpit style" which involves sitting with the legs and hips inside the kayak hull with a "spray deck" or "spray skirt" that creates a water resistant seal around the waist. Whether a kayak is a sit-on-top or a cockpit style has nothing to do with its classification. Both configurations are represented in each of the five primary classifications. While most kayaks are designed to be paddled by a single person, other configurations include tandem and even triple cockpit boats.
Because of their range and adaptability, kayaks can be a useful mode of transport for other sports such as diving, fishing, and wilderness exploration.

Canoeing
Canoeing is an activity involving a special kind of canoe. When exactly a canoe can be called a kayak is difficult to determine though, and often arbitrary. Internationally, the term canoeing is used as a generic term for both forms though the terms "paddle sports" or "canoe/kayak" are also used. In North America, however, 'canoeing' usually refers only to canoes, as opposed to both canoes and kayaks. Paddling a kayak is also referred to as kayaking.
Open canoes may be 'poled' (punted), sailed, 'lined and tracked' (using ropes) or even 'gunnel-bobbed'.
In modern canoe sport, canoes and kayaks are classified together, although these watercraft have different designs, and historical uses. Both canoes and kayaks may be closed-decked. Other than by the minimum competition specifications (typically length and width (beam) and seating arrangement it is difficult to differentiate most competition canoes from the equivalent competition kayaks. The most common difference is that competition kayaks are always seated and paddled with a double-bladed paddle, and competition canoes are generally kneeled and paddled with a single-bladed paddle. Exceptions include Canoe Marathon (in both European and American competitive forms) and sprint (high kneeling position). The most traditional and early canoes did not have seats, the paddlers merely kneeled on the bottom of the boat. Recreational canoes and kayaks employ seats and whitewater rodeo and surf variants increasingly employ the use of 'saddles' to give greater boat control under extreme conditions.

Dream for a Perfect ABS???


Here have some tips for you guys...
A strong core is essential to correctly perform strength training exercises, to lift a maximum amount of weight and to reduce your risk of injuries. There are many different techniques you can use to vary your core training and avoid a plateau. Here are a few drills to incorporate into your workout.

The first three (10, 9 and 8) are static floor exercises, which require little or no movement; constant tension on your muscles ensures that they are working . Improvement is marked by the increased duration of each exercise or the reduction of your support base.
The following three (7, 6 and 5) are dynamic floor exercises, which are done without weights. They are different from static training because they require movement throughout the exercise.

Exercises 4 and 3 are static Swiss ball exercises. A Swiss ball is unstable, so the main muscles you are working will need the help of supporting muscles to balance you and the ball. Find a medium-sized ball that is fully inflated, but still allows for some give.

Finally, exercises 2 and 1 are dynamic Swiss ball exercises: Movement is required throughout these drills to target the selected muscle groups. 


Number 10

Plank

The plank works your entire core and upper- and lower-body muscles. Lie down on your stomach. Lift your body off the floor with your forearms (elbows at 90° degrees) and your toes. Keep your body in a straight position (without arching your back) and hold for 30 seconds to one minute. Lift one foot in the air for added difficulty.

Number 9

Pushup plank

This exercise is the same as the plank, except that you are in a pushup position. The pushup plank works the core, chest and biceps. This is a great exercise to end your workout with; it will fully fatigue almost every muscle in your upper body.

Number 8

V-sit hold

This targets your abdominal muscles and improves your balance. Lie on your back and bend at the waist as you extend your legs and arms into the air to form a “V.” Hold this position for as long as you can.

Number 7

Twisting crunch

This is one of the most effective crunch workouts, as it hits all of your stomach muscle fibers at once. Assume a standard crunch position, raise your torso to a 45° angle, and then twist from side to side. For an advanced movement, extend your legs and pretend to peddle a bicycle while you continue to twist.

Learn to work with a ball and feel like Superman…


Number 6

Lying windmills

This exercise is one of the most challenging. Lie on your back with your arms extended and raise your legs until they are perpendicular to the floor. Slowly lower your legs to the side as low as you can while maintaining complete shoulder and back contact with the floor. Bring your legs back up to center and lower them to the other side.

Number 5

Supermans with a twist

Perform a standard Superman: Lie down on your stomach and raise your torso off the floor with your arms extended in front of you (beginners may place their hands behind their head). Here’s the twist: At the top of the raise, twist to one side, return to the center and twist to the other side. Lower your torso to the ground to complete one rep. Hold a two- to five-pound weight for a more advanced movement.

Number 4


Plank on a Swiss ball

This is a variation of the static plank. There are two possible executions: You can place your forearms on the Swiss ball with your feet on the ground or you can place your feet on the ball with your forearms on the ground. Keep your abs and glutes tight, and do not arch your back. Hold this position as long as possible. Move the ball slightly from side to side for an advanced movement.

Number 3

Lying glute pushup

The lying glute pushup targets your butt and back muscles. Lie on your back with your feet resting on top of a Swiss ball. Push through your heels to raise your butt off the floor as high as possible. Form a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. Hold this position for 60 seconds.

Number 2

Ball roll-ins

Ball roll-ins target your central abdominal muscles. Place your hands on the ground and the top of your feet on top of the ball. Keep your hands in place and bend at the knees to bring the ball toward your chest. Hold this position for a second and roll back out. Focus on squeezing your abs throughout the movement; do not use your hip flexors to bring the ball toward you.

Number 1

Stiff-legged V bends

This is exactly the same as the ball roll-ins, but you must keep your knees straight and move your hips toward the ceiling. The focus of this drill is completely on the abs; you should be able to feel a strong medial contraction.

to the core of the matter

These are some of the best core training exercises. They help create a more complete workout because they target one specific muscle and often call synergistic muscles into play. Choose a drill from each group to use during every abdominal workout and you will be a step ahead of the rest.

Uprising - MUSE

 

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around
(So come on!)

Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on!)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll if you could
Flick the switch and open your third eye, you'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on!)

Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Hey .. hey ... hey .. hey!

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Hey .. hey ... hey .. hey!

(gambar tak termasuk Haziq)



Expose de scene adalah nama bagi perkhemahan akhir untuk subjek rekriasi luar semester 2 pelajar pengajian sukan. Kem ini diadakan di Kem Murni, KG Jahang Gopeng Perak. Kem ini diadakan selama 6 hari bermula 13-18 februari 2010. Antara pelajar-pelajar yang terlibat dalam perkhemahan ini ialah pelajar UITM dari kampus Shahputra, Shah Alam, Jengka dan Instedt. Jumlah pelajar semasa kem ini ialah sebanyak 123 orang. Kem ini dijayakan secara kerjasama dari Pembimbing Rekriasi Luar UITM (PERLU). Semasa kem ini dijalankan, banyak aktiviti- aktiviti yang dijalankan seperti caving, tubing, camp craft, low ropes course, navigation dan survivor. Dalam banyak2 aktiviti yang dijalankan, aktiviti tubing adalah yang menarik dan seronok. Ini kerana aktiviti ini melibatkan air. Jadi kami yang memang jarang2 dapat mandi semasa  kem ini berlangsung dapatlah mengambil peluang mandi sambil beraktiviti. Antara pengalaman yang tidak dapat dilupakan adalah semasa hari pertama. Kami dipanggil untuk makan selepas semua penat mendirikan tapak perkhemahan. Dengan perut yang sangat lapar. Memang otak hanya fikirkan makanan. pada masa itu aku makan bersama sam dan haziq seingt aku. menu malam itu ialah nasi goreng dan sup sayur. memang sedap klao perut tgh lapar. tp yang sedap nya lagi apabila memandang sup itu ada makanan tambahan. katak. sesedap hati die je berenang2 dlam sup kami. x tau ble die singgah di situ. tp ape bole bwat. sup dh dituang ke dalam nasi. dengan perut yang sangat lapar. kami lupekan pasal katak dan makan dengan hati yang girang. memang sedap. terima kasih kepada sesapa yang masak. blurrpp... pangalaman yang paling best ialah semasa aktiviti tubing. itu adalah pengalaman pertama aku. melunsur sana, melunsur sini.. fuh.. bebas beb. tp keselamatan tetap kena jage. mase aktiviti ni aku hanya 3 kali jatuh. permulaan yang baik.. tu pun sebab x pandai lagi nak seimbangkan badan. perkara buruk juga ada berlaku. tapi bukan kat aku. ia terjadi kat team mate aku. lapo sangat agaknya. makanan hape ntah yang die telan. orang suruh bwat test n saba.. die terus g telan. kan dah gedabak bibir ko. tapi x pe.. itulah pengalaman. pengalaman mengajar kita. hee.. ape2 pun memang banyak yang kami belajar semasa kem ini. sangat berguna untuk kegunaan masa hadapan. thank to all............
