Interesting you bring up the ethnic contribution as Coach Poliquin (the person I mentioned in my earlier post) has created a system called biosignature that takes into account your ethnic heritage as well as your hormonal issues/what foods set them out of whack. For better or worse, I can only handle vegetables, fruits and nuts without my blood sugar and insulin going wild.
Athlete gamers/geeks are win, I consider myself one as well, being a powerlifter, but I don't want to toot my own horn too much

Yeah, I like to do a little bit of hypertrophy training (1 day for hypertrophy, 3 power/conditioning days per week), but it tends to overlook stabilizer muscles like the rotator cuff and trapezius for example, which explains why you see so many shoulder injuries.
