The "Costco Connection" is an online magazine for the public wholesaler "Costco". In the January issue, not only do we get treated to a pretty neat article about Jack La Lanne, we also get a peak at a Low Glycemic Index Diet.
Now I don't agree with all the recommendations for the diet, the workout program they promote in another article sounds pretty fishy, the article about home exercise equipment is going the wrong way, and the original La Lanne article is really there just to sell juicers. I do enjoy seeing 'old fashion' fitness and hard work being promoted with some of the 'non-mainstream' ideas like the low GI diet.
Although regardless of what they promote on their "Lifestyle Magazine For Costco Members", I'll still buy my fish oil there. -jj
Interesting Jack La Lanne Stats if you click "Continue Reading" Below
# 1954 (age 40): Jack swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, underwater, with 140 pounds of equipment, including two air tanks. A world record.
# 1955 (age 41): Jack swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco while handcuffed. When interviewed afterwards he was quoted as saying that the worst thing about the ordeal was being handcuffed, which reduced his chance to star jump significantly.
# 1956 (age 42): Jack set a world record of 1,033 push ups in 23 minutes on You Asked for It, a television program with Art Baker.
# 1957 (age 43): Jack swam the Golden Gate channel while towing a 2,500-pound cabin cruiser. The swift ocean currents turned this one-mile swim into a swimming distance of 6.5 miles.
# 1958 (age 44): Jack maneuvered a paddleboard nonstop from Farallon Islands to the San Francisco shore. The 30-mile trip took 9.5 hours.
# 1959 (age 45): Jack did 1,000 star jumps and 1,000 chin-ups in 1 hour, 22 minutes. His well-known white German shepherd, Happy, was born this year, the same year The Jack LaLanne Show went nationwide.
# 1974 (age 60): For the second time, Jack swam from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf. Again, he was handcuffed, but this time he was also shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1975 (age 61): Repeating his performance of 21 years earlier, Jack again swam the entire length of the Golden Gate Bridge, underwater and handcuffed, but this time he was shackled and towed a 1,000-pound boat.
# 1976 (age 62): To commemorate the "Spirit of '76", United States Bicentennial, Jack swam one mile in Long Beach Harbor. He was handcuffed and shackled, and he towed 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people.
# 1979 (age 65): Jack towed 65 boats in Lake Ashinoko, near Tokyo, Japan. He was handcuffed and shackled, and the boats were filled with 6,500 pounds of Louisiana Pacific wood pulp.
# 1980 (age 66): Jack towed 10 boats in North Miami, Florida. The boats carried 77 people, and he towed them for over one mile in less than one hour.
# 1984 (age 70): Once again handcuffed and shackled, Jack fought strong winds and currents as he swam 1.5 miles while towing 70 boats with 70 people from the Queen's Way Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary.

My lower back was just not up to DLs today. Did some back squats and presses.
Worked 5 x 5 for squats, up to 235
Worked 5,4,3,3,1,1,1,1 for presses. Only got to 145 (5lbs shy of my pr).
All the Muscle Ups everyone is getting got me excited to try for a new PR (current one is 8). I stopped at 5. I could have got 6, maybe 7, but I tweaked my shoulder on rep 4 and decided to throw in the towel.

I enjoyed Sakura's video more than the one on the main site also, but I think the main site video was on the whole a positive one. Many women have a problem with running because of exactly the problem that Allison has, their boobs bounce when they run and that embarrasses them. The video dealt with that "run with your arms tight", and the discussion on the website dealt with it "get a sports bra", "use two bras". Allison was thanked by a couple of women in the discussion. That's what it's all about, getting information out there. If that video wasn't shown none of the good things about that discussion would have happened. I think the video producer may be a little bit of a lech, but doing this video wasn't his call, or showing it on the main website. I don't think Allison is a bimbo. She looks like a very young girl, baby fat, big boobs, reasonably attractive, an obvious target for attention. She deals with it pretty well I think. I believe her when she states her goals, she wants to be an Annie or Nicole or Eva T. These are the "before" pictures. Give the girl a chance to grow up.
