    I would say it's because a smith deadlift isn't from the ground. It's more like a rack pull. And unless you're already an experienced deadlifter (know exactly how your body should be in all phases of the lift) you will end up starting weird. Likely his arms had slack in them and he was standing...

    Same. We have a separate thing on our insurance for her ring. Can't remember how much it is, but it's cheaper than $90 a year (although hers also isn't $11k).

    Sorry for the lateness, but I was busy and finally finished up the season. Anyway, regarding the above, I watched the video below and it really becomes apparent that Walt would have never been happy just cooking for Gus. The parts with Mike really make it clear that Walt didn't want what...

    I wouldn't recommend doing squats or deadlifts on a smith. Squats you could get away with, but deadlifts you're really risking injury. It's either going to make your hips shoot forward awkwardly (if you're too close) or your back round (if you're too far away).

    I don't think his Wonderlic got released. He graduated early from high school and did a pre-law degree in 3 years or some shit, though. I think he's probably smart, just doesn't know when to shut up. Or he's just caught up in his own ego/hype.

    I'm pretty sure it's the width that matters. There's no dick hitting some imaginary cervix type wall in your ass. A 12 inch dick with only 4 inches of circumference is probably going to suck less than a 4 inch one that's 6 inches around. The QB isn't standing up perfectly straight either. Look...

    I agree. When your linemen are all 6'4" to 6'8", what difference does it make if you're 5'10" or 6'3"?

    I meant more the watering down of defense. There's obviously a large portion of the population that loves shootouts, but I'm not one of them. Part of that is all the rule changes. Not only are defensive players at a huge disadvantage (changes to pass interference, defenseless receivers, roughing...

    I only brought that up because he was talking about lifting. I've tried to get some of you over into the weight lifting thread with no success. And Noodleface, that's only partially true. If you're reading magazines or something, yes, that's absolutely the case. The reason magazines suggest...

    Had Sportscenter on in the background, and I think Young was basically saying how shitty the NFL product has become. I think I said that 3-4 weeks ago. The NFL is going downhill quickly. I think a lot of us only watch because it's the only football there is (not including the semi-pro NCAA...

    Quick summary: Get on a 5x5 type progressive overload program. Starting Strength, StrongLifts, Reg Park, there are quite a few onBodybuilding.com(AllPro, JasonDB, etc); just find one that focuses on compound lifts (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Military Press, Rows, Pullups/Chinups...

    Didn't see the game, but I really wanted the Redskins to draft Shamarko. I didn't realize that this whole thing about the Patriots was during a kick. That's not even an obscure rule, I've heard it called several times before. Can't push or get a boost off the back of another player.

    I remember seeing something a long time ago, maybe decade+, where they said the secret to pizza is the crust (sounds like Alton Brown). Basically if you make a crust that tastes delicious, the rest is pretty hard to fuck up. I think that's the difference between chains and everyone else. The...

    I don't know, I do the same. Chest/Biceps, and Shoulders/Triceps. Although, if I do shit out of order, the amount I can lift plummets. That only really happens on Shoulder/Triceps day though, if the power cages are both occupied. I normally do military press then close grip bench. If I...

    I'm sad to say it, but I've been thinking that all season. The guy just won't shut his fucking mouth. I said it during the offseason too. I liked the guy last year, but over the offseason he just ran his mouth all the damn time. His ego is enormous and he doesn't come off as a team kind of...

    It mostly depends on whether you can afford it. For the most part, it's just expensive caffeine. Beta alenine is what causes your skin to feel tingly. In general, I say it's a giant waste of money. But I still use pre workouts anyway. I used to reason it as even if it's not doing much...

    That's actually almost exactly what I associate with skinnyfat. You're skinny but don't have any muscularity. Basically this: I posted this a few months ago, but it's a girl who basically did the whole "burn more calories than you eat through cardio" and she ended up skinnyfat. Meet Staci...

    I understand why they do it, since they're trying to attract women viewers, but I read something a while ago about how breast cancer is by far the most pimped cancer. If there's someone out there who's not aware of it, they're just oblivious to everything. Really, the NFL should be doing...

    I understand that, for guys in high school/college. Genj's point is more what I was going for. With the amount of money DB's were making, it seems like a lot of guys would make the switch from WR to DB. You'd also find DB's who can finally catch for once. But I guess it makes sense to just...

    I've never understood why there are so many sub-6' defensive backs. It seems like the one position where you'd want to match or exceed a wideout every time.

    Myth tombs weren't really the problem, outside of being capped at 300. But they nerfed CM where it sounds like it's not even worth running for tomes now. Granted, I'm not playing at the moment so I don't know how severe it is, but making content more of an ass pain to run just sounds like a...

    Should probably go in Arkk's thread, but it kind of depends on where you are in your lifting progress. For a beginner, you're ok squatting and deadlifting often. I started with Starting Strength and on alternate weeks that meant squats and deads in the same day, twice a week. That would fucking...

    All the early games today are fucking awful. The best one right now is Bills/Bengals if that tells you anything. Currently switching between that and Packers/Ravens, as the only interesting ones.

    Brian Moorman had the best coffin corner punt I've ever seen. Not enough love for a good punt. And the refs fucked it up. 2 today. Bengals stuffed the Bills on 4 runs from the 1 and 2, and the Packers did the same against Ravens.
