In this issue,
Greetings / Salve, Next to creating annual training plans and workouts, one of the most common question I get by email is “Why are Jamaicans so fast”?
2.8 Million people compared to 312 million, and EACH country had 7 men go under 10.00 seconds this year? So I wrote a series of articles based on interviews with Stephen Francis and Glen Mills, and it eventually became the size of an ebook (36 pages). This material is not on the Blog, and I gave the report away to all newsletter subscribers at no cost.
It’s a multi-part report, where it includes:
If you missed it, here is the link to download the ebook (PDF, 1.5 Mb): More on Ergogenic Aids
If you enjoyed the multipart series on Ethical cheating, here is the short list with more to come.
You’ll also like this additional research paper that downplays RedBull. Their conclusion is interesting. Best of October
As always, here is the best articles for October 2011. Enjoy, Jimson Lee

Reaction Time Differences in Men and Women 2011-10-26 04:00:00-04 Men have an unfair advantage over women because of their strength and size.
