Just a quick FYI for today’s blog:
Jim “Smitty” Smith is re-launching his Combat Core e-manual.  As some of you know, I think it’s a fantastic product that I’ve heartily endorsed in the past.  You can read a full review I wrote HERE.

1. I started a little deadlift specialization program this week.  So far, it’s beating me up like a rented mule - and this is just the introductory week.  I don’t know if it will get me to 700, but at the very least, it’ll prove whether deadlifts to excess really can kill someone.  I’ll let [...]

So apparently while beer might (ok will) make you fat, it will not cause a specific beer belly…..

Beer consumption and the ‘beer belly’: scientific basis or common belief?

Background/Objectives: The term ‘beer belly’ expresses the common belief that beer consumption is a major determinant of waist circumference (WC). We studied the gender-specific associations between beer consumption and WC (partially in relation to body weight and hip circumference (HC) change).
Participants/Methods: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)–Potsdam study (7876 men, 12 749 women), cross-sectional associations were investigated applying general linear models. Prospective analyses of baseline beer consumption and an 8.5-year WC change were assessed using multivariate general linear models and polytomous logistic regression. To test the site-specific effect of beer consumption on WC, an adjustment for concurrent changes in body weight and HC was carried out. In addition, the relationship between change in beer consumption and change in WC was studied.
Results: A positive association in men and no association in women were seen between beer consumption and WC at baseline. Men consuming 1000 ml/d beer were at 17% higher risk for WC gain compared with very light consumers. Significantly lower odds for WC gain (odds ratio=0.88; 95% confidence interval 0.81, 0.96) were found in beer-abstaining women than in very-light-drinking women. The adjustment for concurrent body weight and HC change diminished effect estimates notably, explaining most of the association between beer and change in WC. Decreasing beer consumption was related to higher relative odds for WC loss, although not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Beer consumption leads to WC gain, which is closely related to concurrent overall weight gain. This study does not support the common belief of a site-specific effect of beer on the abdomen, the beer belly.
