    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Joffrey's death will be funny because all the non book readers will just kind of roll their eyes at another main character death. It's also Joffrey though, and people hate his ass (that actor is awesome in this role), so there will be celebration posts.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Came here to post this. I laughed out loud at his two one liners in the bushes. As sad as I'll be for the split, it means bad ass Arya when she travels across the sea. Her storyline was the only thing that kept me going through parts of that book.

    CPR / First Aid Online Certification

    Regarding CPR, I swear I've read that it's basically useless. Like, even among paramedics, it's only like a 5% success rate or something. Bottom line, don't worry about the person giving it to you, because they probably aren't helping anyway. First aid, however, is a different story. Although...

    Sarah is such an obnoxious person. Glad she's gone. If Trish can get kicked out soon, that'd be super. Really, that whole brains tribe is still pretty awful. Pretty much everything they do is retarded. They only had a brief respite due to the tribe mixup. Also, I can't wait for the big titty...

    Posting a picture of one of the top cyclers in the world also doesn't prove anything. Top athletes in any sport will obviously look different from regular people who do the same sport at an amateur level.

    To elaborate on this, it's also the same reason women should lift heavy weights as opposed to just cardio as well. When people say toned, what they really mean is muscle mass. Muscle gives the body a much more pleasant appearance by filling it out. It doesn't necessarily make you bulky (it...

    Woke up and I can see my top 4 abs. Fucking finally! Hopefully no more than another month of this dieting bullshit. Been losing .8 pounds per week for the last month.

    You're kind of proving my point about people underestimating it. 5-7% is getting to the point of essential body fat, and you'd be able to see every striation in the muscles and all their veins (5% being pretty damn close to the limit of bodybuilders on competition day). You can see veins in...

    Most people recommend getting down to 10-12% and then doing a "lean bulk" from there. A lean bulk being essentially just slightly above maintenance, and stop as soon as you can't see your abs anymore. It's what I'm doing now, but 10-12% is way lower than most people realize (or rather, we...

    Kind of surprised yours is the only review of the new breakfast stuff since it went live today. I thought about grabbing some tomorrow morning, but all the crunchwraps are like 600-700 calories. Everything else on the breakfast menu looks more reasonable (outside of the Cinnabon things), but...

    Why are you limited to two days? And if that's the case, you've essentially got about 80-90% of your body on one day (back, chest, legs) and the other 10% on their own day. I mean, think about your anatomy for a second. Your legs are HUGE. Back is HUGE. Why are you grouping them all together...

    Your metabolism won't get "confused" or whatever by changing it up for a few days. Look at it more like a system (because it is). It takes about 6 months to re-adjust your metabolism, so yours is probably dicked up right now at 1600 calories (read: used to running on it). Think of it like a slow...

    Tony is definitely making good moves, but unfortunately, they're way too blatant.

    Dietary cholesterol doesn't increase your blood cholesterol. Pretty sure that one was figured out a long time ago.

    Tuco, assuming your diet is pretty standard, the first 1-2 weeks will suck as you add in all the foods you eat (assuming you can't find ones that someone else did). But once you've got a "database" of all the common stuff you eat, it becomes amazingly good.
