Watched that video last night well done Hanley once you have the kip perfected your time will fall even further.Some strength there to be lashing through all those pull ups the strict way.

Reading that link there from Paddy and the other link recently by Colm on vitamin D is this something we should be taking as a supplement? I get absolutely shag all sunlight this time of the year. I go to work it’s dark. I get home it’s dark. I’m getting depressed just thinking about it.
Dale on October 28, 2009 at 09:35 said:

What Eamonn said regarding sunlight should we take it in supplement form and if so anyone know what is best ?
Pixie on October 28, 2009 at 10:01 said:

I’ve been taking Vit D for a while now, and this could be completely unconnected but I feel my skin and hair have definitively improved, I take it once a day with a zinc supplement. Got it from iherb if anyone is interested.
Paddy on October 28, 2009 at 10:20 said:

Pixie how long does it usually take on the shipping on orders from Iherb?If the order is small enough do you avoid customs?
Dale on October 28, 2009 at 10:49 said:

pixie can you give me the name of that supplement id like to try get some
Pat on October 28, 2009 at 10:58 said:

I have just started taking Vitamin D last week actually after reading the articles posted here, doing a little research of my own and realising since I started working in the cube farm that I am getting the least amount of sunlight in my life, unless fluorescent lighting and my computer screen count, which I don’t think they do.

Paddy: I got some stuff from iHerb recently, delivery takes around 10 days, 5 of those days were processing by iHerb and it took DHL around 5 days to get it from LA to Dublin. Didnt get stung for any customs, dunno how it works either tbh.

Dale: The Vit D I got are Carlson Labs, Solar D Gems, Vitamin D3, 2,000 IU, 360 soft gels. Might be better ones out there.

As an interesting note from my studies, the only supplement ever endorsed by any doctor who lectured me was Vitamin D, well Iodine too but that’s another story.

Apparently we get enough sunlight for adequate Vit D production for 2 months out of the year if even that. I usually pop two of those tesco vitamin supplement tablets a day and I’ll agree with Pix that it definitely improves your skin, haven’t noticed my hair getting any better but you never know. I’m not sure of the cost of the iHerb stuff but I guarantee it’s more expensive than my 80c packet of tesco tablets.

Here is the thing i work like most people these days in an office environment no sunlight most of the year now i used to get a load of sun from exercising the horses.
Since giving up on horses and also rugby my eczema has got quite bad i reckon this is due to lack on sunlight or Vit D so i reckon it is time to either get more sun or and take Vit D allot more.

Mind you the fish oils have helped my skin massive amounts i believe or maybe that is the exercise in Crossfit either or my eczema has improved a good bit in the last couple months so in this i am quite happy .

Paddy, cheers!! I’m gonna spend a few weeks just swinging on the bar trying to keep my shoulders locked down while still getting my chest thru and see if that helps. It’s very frustrating because I know my flexibility isn’t a problem!!

And I’m so trying that workout tonight. It’s definitely one that will play to my strengths.

bobby i was after noticing the glossy sheen to your hair but didn’t want to say anything.
Ed on October 28, 2009 at 13:20 said:

Pixie, I noticed the skin thing too, also my beard is nice and shiny now (I was frightened at first as I thought I was catching the ghey and applying moisturiser in my sleep). Taking about 5000IU per day (now foods capsules, something like eight dollars for 120). This is going against my plan of growing old disgracefully! I haven’t noticed any of the useful properties though.
Eamonn on October 28, 2009 at 13:48 said:

I like how nobody shared any of this vit D taking until now. Cheaters! Ignorning performance increases for the moment I’m missing out on fabolous hair!
garv on October 28, 2009 at 13:58 said:

dale – could be the paleo thing more than exercise?

damo – langer

if anyone’s interested in putting in an order i’m definitely interested…oh to be beautiful…
Dale on October 28, 2009 at 14:03 said:

Garv i not on Paleo i should be , but not really doing it proper at the moment
Ger on October 28, 2009 at 14:44 said:

Pat did todays WOD in 1.47 (second WOD of the day)
Paddy on October 28, 2009 at 15:15 said:

Did someone say they were putting in an order? With the potential now of having a nice shiny barnet we should all grow our hair & maybe go for the Jesus or David Ginola look.
Colm on October 28, 2009 at 15:48 said:

I’m putting in an order this evening. I tried to post from CrossFit earlier but for some reason it wouldn’t, so whoever’s on board by the end of the day I’ll put one in.
garv on October 28, 2009 at 15:52 said:

col – count me in.

pat – SERIOUS time there man!
Double D on October 28, 2009 at 16:25 said:

All this talk of fabulous hair,i feel quite left out.
damien on October 28, 2009 at 16:45 said:

Hey Colm will you put me down for the vitamin d.I want hair with a sheen like bobby’s.
Eamonn on October 28, 2009 at 18:23 said:

Tony on October 28, 2009 at 18:37 said:

louise on October 28, 2009 at 23:09 said:

Nice work everyone. Is is too late to add my name to the list for bottled sunshine? – I suspect I won’t see daylight on any weekday between now and March at the earliest.
Robbie on October 28, 2009 at 23:58 said:

If it’s not too late, I’ll take some Vit D Colm. Cheers.
Colm on October 29, 2009 at 00:04 said:

Good thing I ordered 10 tubs of the stuff. Robbie and Louise, I should be able to help you guys out.
