What is the Old School New Body System About?

So let’s not beat around the bush; just what is the F4 system? It’s a method of training based on one that has been lost and collecting dust. The reason it’s been “lost” is because of the emphasis on intensity, which most trainees equate to heavy, joint-jolting workouts.

Go to any gym, and you’ll see that most people are either using very light weights and resting too long or pounding their bodies with heavy weights, eventually getting injured. Contrary to popular belief, heavy bone- crushing poundage’s are not necessary for fast results. In fact, they can be detrimental. Those current heavy-training trends can overstress your body, jar your joints and actually damage your immune system because of excess stress hormone release (cortisol).

You do need to expend effort, but it should be cumulative. What does that mean? Here’s how it works.

The F4 system calls for moderate poundages for less joint stress and relies on high muscle fatigue for intensity—which means short rests between sets and growth hormone release. Growth Hormone triggers a veritable muscle-building, fat-burning (and anti-aging) cascade. That hormone decreases significantly as you get older, but this type of training can provide a real resurgence.

In short you can get in the best shape of your life, turn back the clock on aging all while strengthening your muscle, ligaments and joints. This fly’s in the face of modern exercise programs, which is good because people are not getting the results they are after. With Old School New Body they will get results. Period!

For many years now people have had Lasik Surgery Fears. Back early in the industry in the 80s there were problems. You have probably seen the news stories over the last few years about the FDA and Lasik eye surgery. As a lifelong contact lens and glasses wearer I thought that it would be important to look at why this is important and what you should think about when considering any corrective eye surgery.

Many People Do Have Lasik Surgery Fears

Lasik Surgery Fears

First of all the FDA does have a site dedicated to Lasik surgery and the benefits as well as the risks of the quick and easy surgery. One of the criticisms by consumer groups was that the FDA was not stressing hard enough the bad side effects that are possible with Lasik surgery.

Another issue that is often overlooked is regular aging of people and of eyesite. Any reputable ophthalmologist will agree that most men begin losing near sitedness in their 40s so the idea that Lasic or any other corrective surgery will get rid of glasses for life is not very realistic.

What the FDA did Say

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration should take more steps to advise LASIK patients about potential risks of the laser eye surgery, an advisory panel said on Friday, following pleas from those who suffered from glare, dry eye and even suicidal tendencies.

“I think we need better screening, better information and in some cases better doctors,” said panel chairwoman Jayne Weiss, a Kresge Eye Institute ophthalmologist in Detroit.

The panel’s recommendation followed hours of testimony by some LASIK patients who said that blurriness, double-vision and other problems led to depression and in some cases suicidal tendencies.

Panelists agreed with the FDA that LASIK is safe and effective, but said the agency could offer clearer information about side effects. They also suggested the FDA provide photos on its website to give patients a better idea of what halos and other visual complications look like.

How common is Lasik surgery

Millions of Americans have successfully undergone LASIK, or laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, which cuts a flap in the eye then uses a laser to reshape the cornea, making people less dependent on glasses or contact lenses.

Roughly 700,000 Americans have had LASIK since it was approved in 1998, according to industry estimates.

Still, the FDA is taking another look at the procedure after a 2006 internal review concluded that while available data did not point to widespread problems, there was not enough information on rare but serious complications.

Should out have Lasik Surgery Fears?

The agency also is set to begin a LASIK study on patient satisfaction next year along with the National Eye Institute and two groups: the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

The panel urged the FDA to take more action upon the study’s conclusion, although some patients pointed to the medical groups’ involvement as a conflict of interest. So you see there is a lot of governement oversight and you do not need to have Lasik Surgery Fears
