New column i have coming soon takes an in depth look at various scientific studies. The column will bascially provide key points from the study. I do all the boring work of reviewing analyzing the charts and data and highlight the practical info and give you my thoughts.
First edition is complete below is an excerpt and intro to new column.
The Practical Scientist
By Jamie Hale
Most coaches, athletes, and bodybuilders don’t like to read scientific studies, review papers or anything containing a bunch of scientific jargon. At the same time these papers can be beneficial in prescribing training, nutrition and supplementation protocols to enhance performance and physique. You might ask is there any way I can get this information without reading these boring papers? Good news. Your savior has arrived. The Practical Scientist column will provide key points from the most prominent scientific training and nutrition research. You won’t have to spend hours looking through papers with long complex words and multiple formulas. I will have already taken care of that task. I will provide readers with the key points and most useful information that can be gathered from the data discussed. The information will be provided in bullet style format. Believe it or not some of us actually like to spend our days reading, analyzing and discussing these papers with scientists, researchers and analytical thinkers. I hope you enjoy the new column. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
In 2003 Tipton and Wolfe presented one of the most comprehensive review papers to date on protein (Protein and amino acids for athletes). The objective of the review was to update the literature since 1991 and critically examine the available information on protein nutrition for athletes. In February of 2007 Tipton wrote another outstanding paper concerning protein and athletes ( Protein Requirements and Recommendations for Athletes: Relevance of Ivory Tower Arguments for Practical Recommendations). The focus on this paper was the author’s view of various factors involved in protein nutrition and how they may influence the adaptations that result from training and nutritional intake, and how this information may be used by practitioners, coaches, and athletes to determine appropriate protein intakes during training for optimal competitive results. In this article I will point out some of the key points Tipton revealed in his February 2007 paper.

not sure where the column will be published there are a few publications looking at article
one of the most popular sites on internet recently rejected the article for lack of humor, too serious, too long and regardless of what they say lack of supplement pimping
you know we dont need a objective based column that doesnt mention chicks and makes a joke every other paragraph that takes the fun out of things (got to be kidding) that's the biggest problem with the current group of publications we have lack of objective info and overy glorifiying non-scientific findings
dont get me wrong practical experience needs to come into the picture as well, thus the birth of the column
thanks
