    I tuck my elbows on close grip and regular flat. I used to have all kinds of shoulder problems from benching, but ever since I started tucking, they've disappeared.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Haha. I just finished watching a torrent of it. I'm assuming the regular broadcast had fucked up sound at the end where it cut to The Bear at the Maiden Fair too early, so you missed the last few lines? And Jaime getting his hand cut off? Was kind of jarring, but a little hilarious. They...

    Speaking of awesome views, Cabrillo National Monument is amazing. Unfortunately they close early, so you need to visit between November - February for a sunset there. But still, awesome view of the Pacific, as well as North Island and downtown.

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    One of the things that the Afghanistan and Iraq wars have done is caused the treatment for amputations to become incredibly effective. An amputation that would have killed you 20+ years ago is now something where there's a much higher survivability rate. As long as you can get a tourniquet on...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    Seems like a pretty crazy coincidence that it'd be at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, on the actual day of the event.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Pretty interesting article about pain-killers in the NFL. It's on the long side, but worth the read. The last part talks a lot about the Saints. Pain and pain management in NFL spawn a culture of prescription drug use and abuse

    Slater's is pretty damn good, but it's essentially a chain restaurant. It's got an excellent selection of beers. But it's also in a shopping center.

    For eateries, you can't really go wrong with just about anywhere in Gas Lamp (ditto bars). They've all got patios, although you won't see the sunset for shit. You will see all kinds of hos though. I don't know how the food is there, but the OB Pier cafe is in a pretty awesome place to eat and...

    Regarding the close grip bench press, you're probably too close. I just learned that this week, because it's something I was doing. Try it a little bit wider and see if you still have wrist issues. Behind the neck stuff is one of those if you're genetically inclined to them. Most people...

    Southland season 5

    Kind of reminds me of that episode where Sammy's partner got smacked in the head. Only it lasted the entire episode. Also, with the killing off of characters, they do it mid-season. Most shows would do that for an end of season cliffhanger. This one just does it all the time.

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    I forgot to add that as soon as I saw Malcolm walking over to Dawn, I said to my wife, "Oh man, don't go to Dawn. She's going to screw you so bad." Sure enough, he talked to her and the very next scene was her selling him out. She'll drop the dime on you and then cry about it. Fucking craziness.

    New Girl

    I think it's a toss up at the moment between this and Cougar Town as the funniest shows on TV. I don't know that either one has all that many viewers, but they're consistently funny.

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    Wow. That was one of the worst challenges (reward) that I've ever seen. What a crap design. Should've been more like a slightly smaller soccer goal where the goalie is close. With how far off they were, it was easy to just loft it over the defender. I love the insecurity in this game...

    A mock draft that gets graded and is also a parody? Talk about a fucking waste of time. Wasn't even remotely funny, either.

    My LT comment was more about the position in general, not necessarily in free agency. And it's not so much that LT is less important as it is the other line spots are becoming more important.

    RB by committee isn't helping either. Why pick a guy in the 1st round when you can just grab a guy in the 4th+ every year? The talent level is pretty even. I thought it was interesting you brought up the CB thing. Apparently CB value is way down lately. No one's wanting to draft them high...

    I thought Andrea died from a bullet to the brain (allegedly). Also, TWD characters aren't exactly busy. It's not like they've gotta go to work or anything. Plenty of time to tend to a garden and/or farm.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I was actually thinking 2900 didn't sound like enough to maintain that much weight. But I guess that's apparently pretty close (I did it with 300 lbs though, not knowing how much your friend weighed). I figured a 300 lb dude would have a good 200+ pounds of LBM, which would mean he'd still need...

    I don't get that whole "last 8 games" thing. Look at his whole year and he seems like he was actually really consistent the entire year. He had 5 games over 100 yards, 2 in the first half, 3 in the second half. His stats are also skewed by the fucking terrible Saints secondary where he put up...

    The Walking Dead

    I can't remember if this is all because of my post originally, but the only reason I brought it up was because when they first got to the prison, they had an actual scene where they discussed planting stuff (think it was right before the kumbaya sing-along crap).

    Yeah, season 5 was pretty damn good. Generally with this show I couldn't sit down and watch multiple in a row, but with season 5 I could. This is a character driven show, and last season the characters seemed at their best (and worst).

    Yeah, I played at release and there was a max number of mobs you could aggro. Was pretty annoying trying to gather up as much as we could and half of them just resetting despite the fact that we were next to their spawn point.
