My best in training was 415lbs. 2nd – 187. 5kg/413lbs: 3 whites. The junior state deadlift record was 182. 5kg and one of my goals was to take it so it was nice to make this lift. 3rd – 200kg/441lbs (Video): 3 whites. Our original plan was to take 195/430 as my third, but I don't think my second moved super slowly so we decided to take 200 instead. I didn't want to think about the numbers. I tend to have a sticky lockout so all I kept telling myself was "squeeze the shit out of bar and do not drop it at the top, and you'll be okay. " I remember my left hand almost failing about halfway up, but I was so damn determined to lock it out. Luckily, I managed to hold onto it. Everyone was cheering for me which was awesome! Bonus side angle of my third deadlift attempt Results + Final Thoughts: I went 8/9 and finished with a 430kg/948lb total, so 383. 68 Wilks / 656. 87 IPF Points. Additionally, they didn't give out a best lifter award but I would've taken it with the new IPF points system. Pretty good for my first meet!

Even if our actions don't always show it, most of us know that what we eat matters. That's true especially when it comes to heart health.

"A poor diet really puts a person at very significant risk for cardiovascular disease. " It can lead to obesity, which can lead to heart disease. What you eat -- or don't eat -- can affect your cholesterol level, your blood pressure, and your blood sugar. If any of these things fall out of whack, it can cause problems for your heart. But changes to your diet could lessen those risks. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Most notably, fruits and vegetables have fiber, which helps makes you feel fuller. Fiber also helps lower your cholesterol and may make heart disease less likely. Most people aren't eating enough fruits and vegetables, which are key to lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure, says Roxana Ehsani, a registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in Las Vegas.

Environmental enrichment is also a must for indoor-only cats. How should I change my feeding strategy? All meals and treats should be fed only in your cat's bowl. This will help prevent overfeeding since it requires more effort from you and your family. You should also separate your cat from the kitchen or other areas where food is prepared or eaten to eliminate the temptation to give "people food. " Separating the cat from other household animals while feeding can reduce competitive eating and food sharing as well. Ideally, your cat should eat two or more small meals throughout the day to reduce hunger and begging. How can I get my cat to consume fewer calories? Cutting down on snacks and/or treats is the first step to reducing energy intake. When your cat begs, you should respond by petting, exercising or playing. If you do feed treats, be sure to use them sparingly. When treats are used, reduce your cat's regular meals to compensate for the extra calories. Only low-calorie treats or catnip should be given.
Methods: Here we report a case of a child with frequent epileptiform discharges confined to non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep and extensive cortical malformation. The child was started on a modified version of the classical ketogenic diet we refer to as the paleolithic ketogenic diet. Results: Subsequent follow-up electroencephalograms showed complete normalization of brain electric activity along with cognitive improvement. Neither antiepileptic medication nor vitamin supplements were used. The child strongly adhered to the diet as assessed by regular urinary ketone tests and laboratory work ups. Currently she is on the diet for 13 months. Neither side effects nor clinical signs of nutrient deficiency were observed. Conclusion: We conclude that the paleolithic ketogenic diet was effective, safe and feasible in this case. Keywords
