Similar effects between animal-based and plant-based protein blend as complementary dietary protein on muscle adaptations to resistance training: findings from a randomized clinical trial Recent evidence suggests that both animal and plant proteins support strength and hypertrophy gains when paired with resistance training and adequate protein intake. The purpose of this study was t...

💪 Plant vs animal protein in training

In a 12-week trial, men who took plant or animal protein with resistance training gained similar muscle mass and strength. Both sources were equally effective.

Satellite images reveal ancient hunting traps used by South American social groups Satellite images have revealed an ancient system of elaborate, funnel-shaped mega traps likely built by hunters and pastoralists to catch prey in the high altitudes of northern Chile.

Satellite imagery has identified 76 ancient stone hunting traps in northern Chile, suggesting complex hunting strategies and mobile settlements persisted alongside early agriculture.

Farfar holdt en jødisk kvinne unna tyskerne ved å ha henne innlagt på Tønsberg sykehus i tre år under en fiktiv diagnose. Han overbeviste dem om at hun ville dø uten kontinuerlig medisinsk tilsyn, og de lot henne bli.
Bare nevner det.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

ja, det er oppsiktsvekkande! Kvar er analysane, kommentatorane, politikarane? "Enemy-within"-talen er jo eit enormt skummelt veiskille. Det begynner å bli ein dårlig vits at Nato skal forsvare "common values of individual liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law."

USAs udemokratiske militarisme Demokrati uten sivil kontroll over militæret er utenkelig. Dersom det militære lederskapet overstyrer de folket har valgt, så erstatter militært styre folkestyret.

"Han går i rette med offisersstanden som profesjon, fra en posisjon blottet for troverdighet, men spekket med nyvunnen makt. Uten Trumps kontroversielle utnevnelse til forsvarsminister ville Hegseth fortsatt fjollet på frokost-TV."

Det er vanskelig å overdrive alvoret. @forsvaretsforum.bsky.social
