Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the holidays!

I've been following this forum for a few years and have very much
enjoyed the discussions. Since I know you all have a lot of great
insight to share, I'm hoping you'll be willing to help me out with some
feedback on a project I'm working on.

I'm quite passionate about research, particularly in relation to health
and nutrition (but not excluding fitness), so what I plan on doing is a
monthly review of the latest and most relevant studies. The intent is to
make evidence-based information more accessible and easier to digest for
busy practitioners/trainers/coaches who prefer to spend more of their
time with clients or are simply not interested in reading research
directly.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I'd greatly appreciate it if you
could answer the following short survey. Even if you're not interested
in the research review, your feedback will be valuable. Here's the
survey:

Thanks for your time and Happy New Year!

That sounds like a great idea, however there is already a great website that does exactly what you are attempting to do. It is called Medscape.  It has all the relevant latest information broken down by specialty. 

 http://www.medscape.com/medscapetoday

It includes the following:

* Allergy & Clinical Immunology
* Anesthesiology
* Cardiology
* Critical Care
* Dermatology
* Diabetes & Endocrinology
* Emergency Medicine
* Family Medicine
* Gastroenterology
* General Surgery
* Hematology-Oncology
* HIV/AIDS
* Infectious Diseases
* Internal Medicine
* Lab Medicine
* Nephrology
* Neurology
* Ob/Gyn & Women's Health
* Oncology
* Ophthalmology
* Orthopaedics
* Pathology & Lab Medicine
* Pediatrics
* Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine
* Psychiatry & Mental Health
* Public Health & Prevention
* Pulmonary Medicine
* Radiology
* Rheumatology
* Surgery
* Transplantation
* Urology
* Women's Health
*  
* OTHER SITES
* Business of Medicine
* Dental and Oral Health
* Medscape Today
* Medical Students
* Nurses
* Pharmacists

I have been using it every day for years.  They send me email daily updates on the specific subspecialties that I am interested in keeping up to date. Our hospital also has free online access to hundreds of Medical ebooks and journals.  The University of Connecticut Medical school provides the same service free of charge to CT residents. 

How would your service differ from what I already have access?

Hi Ralph, thanks for your reply!

I agree, Medscape is a great resource. Here are a few ways in which I
intend for my reviews to be different:

1. A more structured format that is intended to make each review easier
to read and refer back to as a reference. (You can see an example here:
http://vinmiller.net/review_example.pdf)

2. More focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the study, and not just
a regurgitation of what the study authors wrote about limitations in
their discussion section.

3. Since I will be writing every review, there will be more consistency
in terms of format, writing style, types of articles reviewed, and
background of the author (a big variable with journalists, in my
opinion).

4. Integrity. I don't read Medscape enough to know how frequently their
articles are affected by this, but I have been frustrated many times by
the theme of a journalist&#39;s review being more based on the opinions of
researchers rather than actual data. While journalists are under
pressure to make headlines, my main priority is to pass along research
findings in a concise and objective manner.

5. When appropriate, I add supporting information from other research to
help provide context, and unlike journalists, I fully reference all of
it.

6. Variety. As there is plenty of research published each month, my
reviews do not necessarily have to be considered as an alternative to
Medscape, but rather as another source of research reviews written in a
different format, from a different perspective, and on different
research.

My reviews are primarily intended for people who don't have access to
all of the research journals that you do, or don't have the time to
filter through them each month. If you have the access, time, and
motivation to read full text (which is great!), then maybe my reviews
wouldn't have much value for you, but then I wonder why you find so much
value in Medscape. Maybe just as a convenient way to help you filter the
research you want to read?

Even if you're not interested in my reviews, it would be great if you
wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts on the distinctions to Medscape that
I listed above.

Thanks!

I posted a thread about a year ago regarding a beginner power lifting program. My goal was to total 1000 pounds in a year. I didn't quite make my totals but I put up an 800 pound total (350 dead, 250 squat, and 200 pound bench. But the important thing was the journey. And the fact I never had a serious injury. Also my athletic abilities went up and up and I finished another year of B league softball hitting over 600. And my golf game which was at a low point finished at a seven handicap. So I would like to thank all of you who responded with advice and encouragement. I am starting a new program and look forward to meeting my goal by the end of the year.

Thanks again.

Tony -

Congratulations!

Good points also on the carryover to other pursuits - I use my PL strength to work medical style massage, I find it necessary to be strong to help others succeed. :)

Well done Tony.

You will find this year that you really start to get into the groove with
your lifts I am sure you will have much more confidence and you will
consolidate your training and really get a feel for what works for you and
what doesn't. After this fantatsic start keep going, you will really
start to find that you can get much more out of each training session and
still feel where to stop to stay injury free.

Have a great year of training 1000lbs is not to far away you should get it
soon.
