Full article link on Genghis Khan Y-chromosome 'star cluster'

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlere...i?artid=1180246

For those too lazy to read, this is the essence of the article. Star-cluster frequencies in populations represented by green sectors.


For those who are keen on the info, reading the paper should be quite interesting. It's not very long. If you notice disparities between what little I have said and the paper, pardon my ignorance because I'm just retracing memories from 6 months ago.


Genetics is one heck of a course. I'm having fun here but I can't wait to get back to medschool.

i had heck loads of genetics subjects too back in uni.. its fun when it comes to the quirks of human-kind and where and how we evolved.. but its another thing when we had to keep breeding drosophillia flies just to see different colourations in their phenotypes.. and thanks for that piece of info!

maybe u study further see whether got any enhancers for bb'ing

Drosophilla research is big in UCL. It's the main model for Prof. David Gems for the study of Biogerontology (Biology of Ageing).

So yeah, I can relate. We have flies coming into our yeast lab from time to time. Urghh.

Enhancers for bb'ing? Steroids.

I don't think they put any actual alcohol in it, i'm sure they're not dumb enough to risk the many lawsuits over drunken weightlifting injuries.

hahaha..what is all this genghis khan and population and everything haha..
anyways i know some ppl who have a khan family name..
mayb same family line??
haha and they are huge hahaa

Eh, what i read of mongols is that they are short stocky but heavy set. Some europeans describe them as comical esp when they ride on their small but tough horses of the steppes. Anyhow due to their prowess they are so feared when sighted, being equated to the plague itself. I think its the tough environment that breeds tough ppl, eg infamous vikings & celts came from the cold areas as well.

erm... how heavy is a barbell bar? for dumbell bar its 1.75kg rite? >.<

my dumbbell bar is 1.5KG not sure if its a standard weight

Oly barbell is 20kg.

Previous few post I read also damn lawak. 5kg per side lah, 15kg per side lah, 40kg per side lah... saya pun terkonfius. =P
Why not just use the total weight, barbell (20kg) + both sides?

thanks in advance..

Replace the rice/capati with complex carbs.. take more healthy fats like peanut butter and virgin olive oil.

Many people say, breakfast is important meal of the day. Put in more protein and good fat in breakfast. Oat is mostly carb.

IF u just eat 3 times a day. Don't you feel hungry in between ? You don't get fat from eating 5-7 times a day. You get fat if overeating. 5 meals a day also help to increase your metabolism. As for weekend, i think you still need to take the protein. To repair the muscle. BTW chapati is made of what ?

As for your workout. IMO it's better to do cardio before weight training. But you will perform poor when lifting because tired from the cardio. If can, do cardio not on lifting day or on weekends.

err... i usually skip breakfast (as i am a student) i noe it is bad for my body, so i wana ask if i jz get the whey protein as breakfast, izzit ok?

and 1 thing is that i realise i slp lots more nowadays, izzit becaused the exhaustion of my muscle?

thanks in advance

for me id say the opposite is true, weight train half of your normal routine, then go cardio.. this is because when you weight train you use the glycogen / sugars and carbs (first line of energy source) for your body.. after you used it up, then you go for cardio, the fat burning will start straight away!

of course you have to make sure u have energy for cardio, thats why i recommend half of your workout routine..

i mightve gotten my facts wrong so correct me if im wrong yeh..

no cardio on workout daysss... :S
