    Those are pretty much all cardio and body weight (the training exercises). He sounds like he wants to get into actual weight training.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    @McCheese Is there a difference in a pet's stats if you catch the pet at rare quality vs catching the pet at poor quality and using a stone to upgrade it to rare quality? I'm at 583 unique pets and I just completed the wailing caverns challenge. I'm turning into a bona fide pet battlin' fool!

    Doesn't surprise me you'd say that's the beginning of the lift even though the bar is flexed and the plates are clearly off the ground But you keep arguing that the two lifts are different and that adding a shrug to a deadlift somehow makes it safer.

    Are you even paying attention to the graphic you posted? Here's The Mountain with a world record deadlift. Look at his angle when engaging and compare it to your "clean pull" bro. The height of your butt, the position of your hips, what grip you prefer. All of these things are subject to an...

    Nothing. Literally the same movement to get the bar off the ground coupled with a shoulder shrug for minimal benefit because it's utilizing momentum. Its a Deadlift into a Shrug increasing risk of injury because of the extra momentum from the extra height of the bar when moving back towards the...

    Says Deadlifts are too risky. Thinks Olympic Lifts are super exercises. Discussion can end there.

    I would say as far as risk vs reward ratios deadlifting is probably the best exercise there is and the risk of catastrophic failure is lower since the weight is below you and not above. Strengthening your posterior chain will help the most with your everyday life. Bench pressing isn't exactly...

    Yea it's an interesting watch. Some pretty fucked up people. You're kind of right but not really and I won't say anymore so as to not spoil it for those who haven't watched it.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This thread is about relationships not marriage, whether you like it or not. And your "I'm not condescending" post is rife with condescension. You should work on your sense of humor if you think I was serious when I said "I knew I was right about marriage!". And you should really learn to read...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think you completely misunderstood the point and content of my post. My initial sentence was a snide rebuttal to the above posters question and the rest of my post was commentary about the video that was posted previously. I'm not sure how you got that I was somehow bragging about my sexual...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    And when sex is readily available what incentive is there for a man to settle down with a woman? It's easy to argue from traditional points of view but the world is changing. Women aren't going to need a provider and aren't going to be raised to appraise those qualities in a male first and...

    It acts a brace. It is used precisely for support. That's what taking in a deep breath and expanding your gut does... it helps the belt clamp tighter around your core. If your abs give out your back tries to pick up the slack and that's when injuries happen. Belts are entirely for support and...

    Yea I'm not gonna argue with you about that. You can "bro out" all you want. I'll always use my belt.

    A belt isn't "gear". Lifting Suits are gear. Everyone who lifts should have a belt. They help you stay stable and safe.

    I used the most coarse setting I could on my grinder when I was regularly making it at home. French Press coarseness. I had a similar problem to you when using the recommended ratios I found online and adding more coffee gave it much better flavor. I also let it steep for longer. I can't...

    Had a couple Almanac sours last night for the first time. Had "White Label" and "Valley of the Heart's Delight". The White Label was right up my alley, really tart and nice. I was pretty meh on the Valley, didn't have much bite and was a little too fruity for my tastes. It's a good thing I...

    I wish I found home improvement projects as gratifying as most of you guys who post in this thread.

    Training alone definitely affects my squatting potential. On bench I'm confident a random gym bro can spot me if I ask him to so I have no shortage of confidence on that and OHP I don't really need a spot because I can just drop the weight if I need to. But squats I don't trust anyone to be able...

    When I look at the current market and see things like 80/20 mortgages still being given out, watch people take loans for far more than they should ever qualify for with no down payments and see my own mortgage change hands 3 times in the last 5 years I start to wonder if the Dodd-Frank...

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    It's funny that one of the band members wanted Freddie to die in the middle of the movie and have the second half be about Queen carrying on without him. Freddie Mercury is probably the most iconic and irreplaceable front man of all time. Who gives a shit about Queen without Freddie?
