    Ok Fuck that behind the neck shit. I didn't even attempt them. Even taking the bar off the damn bench feels awkward. I was able to get 280 on the standing press ( got the 405 on my normal incline/shoulder bench). It wasn't that my shoulders were weak...It was the balance and my fuckin...

    Mist is severely underpaid if what she describes is accurate. Tier 2 support is analyst lvl at the minimum. In MA that is about 75k? The ONLY thing that IMO is really a PITA is the old Nortel stuff. (I literally had the shit catch fire). I actually refused to touch that shit. The Session...

    What do you do?

    What are you using? Avaya One-X Communicator? Avaya-One-X Agent? Avaya IP-Agent (legacy)? All versions suck for different reasons unfortunately. Grab the Avaya One-X Agent (and the patch). It's all in one and once configured correctly works OK. I said OK, not great. AT&T spun off Lucent...

    What do you do?

    They are probably slightly ahead in the unified communications piece because everyone has Cisco for their network backbone. And lets be honest, Cisco can tie everything together very nicely most times, and Avaya just seems to jury rig a lot of their shit. But they just aren't even close to...

    I used to work for them directly out of NJ as one of their call center and IVR engineers. Now I work for a company. Not a business partner. I'm done with that traveling bull shit.

    What do you do?

    They are changing their practices. They realize that Cisco is on their tail. Plus everyone is now hip to the "license" games they play.

    Went to my buds gym today and looked at everyone that got on the shoulder press machines and the shoulder press bench. No one used both. I thought that was strange. Dudes either went straight free weights or machines only. This gyms bench doesn't even have the hooks for the belt, and it is...

    It's almost impossible not to arch your back with that weight. I use the belt attached to the bench to help some, but that mostly keeps me from sliding forward. Maybe if the seat on the bench had more of an incline or locked you in.... You absolutely use a lot of your upper chest, but it's...

    No...I do not look like him. I'm built like the guy spotting him maybe? HELL yes dudes are on roids most of the time.

    It doesn't work that way. It honestly depends on your stabilizer buildup. If you work out with heavy free weights and dumbells (which I do). AND machines, which I do...then that strength translates very well. Example. My bench routine. 4 sets of flat x10 (315x10 as last set with a quick...

    Yeah, my chest and shoulder strength are crazy, even I know that. Especially when you consider my height (6'3") and age (45). Now my legs...No matter what I do, I can't gain size on my calves.
