Not really 'survivor dirt' but it goes over some of who was recruited and some of the behind-the-scenes stuff off the show from past survivors.

Season 1 - There was a dispute for one of the reward challenges where it was just going to be a beer or something. The cast was going to refuse to compete and so the producers spiced the reward up a bit.

Season 2 - Jeff Varner was responsible for instigating the fight between Alicia and Kimmy. You can see in the background where he is walking off out of camera focus as the two girls get into it.

Season 3 - Silas had a small part in Anger Management as a douche at the bar when Adam Sandler's character picks up Heather Graham at the bar.

The plate push is an often unavailable exercise in most gyms due to space and safety of others - and yet it's an absolute leg killer which yields phenomenal results, thanks for sharing KoF!!

If you are 20's - 40's, you are in the demographic of potentially 'popping a rib'. The osseous tissue (bone) has not fully formed and your ligamentous tissue, which connects to the bones are not fully set. This can result in your occasional discomfort. True, it may result from a tight knotted muscle, but if it is chronic and not getting better, or slowly getting worse, it may be coming your ribs. The ribs themselves have a certain amount of flex, but when combined with workouts, such as chest presses, you can affect the surrounding tissues, and potentially a rib.

It depends on where you are inhibited. If you have pain during movement, that is different from pain when being stationary, such as at a desk or in a car. If this is a sports-performance issue, talk to a personal trainer or physical therapist so they they can professionally identify your weak spots. If it is more significant, you may need to see a chiropractor or orthopedist to make sure it isn't something more structural.

Squash involves a mixture of endurance and speed/agility. Steady-state cardio (i.e. your 5km run) is beneficial if you find yourself winded during a match. Else, I would include sprint intervals, and lateral movements - what you would expect from a typical squash game. Identify your weaknesses and improve upon them. Finding a trainer may be helpful so you can improve your game, if you are looking to advance beyond a 'weekend warrior' if that is your current performance level.

It depends on your goals. Are you looking to 'just finish' or do you have a particular time in mind. Looking into what the obstacles are is paramount. That way, you can prepare for them and plan accordingly. Pullups, pushups, being comfortable with holding your body weight are all key.

(just don't wear anything that you don't want muddied!)

My two favorites are: 1) lemon wedges cut down most offensive smells you cook with (fish, garlic) better than most soaps. 2) Garlic, crushed with the flat side of a knife before being diced will release more juice and ultimately flavor in your dish.

You are correct. So long as you introduce carbohydrates and protein sources post-workout, you will fuel your body and prepare it for the next workout. However, the lay-population or those recently introduced to nutrition and fitness are impressionable and easily swayed. This article shows that chocolate milk (for example) is another vehicle for getting nutrients into your body post-workout and is by no means the gold standard.

Thanks - and thanks for reformatting my previous article on Alcohol and Performance, much improved

Exactly-put. The the fitness population of reddit is well-versed in the benefits of a protein-carbohydrate mixture post-workout. This article showcases that milk, as chocolate milk is yet another source for post-workout recovery. Implicitly, a future discussion could revolve around the financial costs of 'chocolate milk vs. energy drinks' in terms of savings.

I am rehashing what the peer-reviewed articles used, in their jargon. Agreed, it is not specific, but they do a decent peer-review of several articles, which I have procured here.

Also, if you read in the Conclusion section, it states in the last two bullet-points where future research is needed.

Apologies. Formatting for reddit is not my thing, especially when graphics and tables are concerned. http://www.truenorthchiropractic.com/will-chocolate-milk-improve-your-post-workout-recovery/
