    Why is lifting weights not a real-life application? Is the only function in life to have a strong cardiovascular system? Just because that may beyourgoal doesn't mean it's everyone else's.

    That's a good point, but I didn't notice it at all. I feel like north of the Wall was the only storyline where that was the case though.

    Not only that, but a lot of stuff from books 4 and 5. So even if you're caught up with book 3 for the show, we'll still spoiler the shit out of some stuff.

    You're really big on absolute statements, aren't you? I bet if you're a pretty big guy, doing Crossfit will make you considerably less strong. There's a lot of cardio, which means a lot of room to lose muscle mass. If you currently don't do shit, then yeah, sure, Crossfit and all of those...

    This irritated me so much. It's like, "Yeah, let's go to war and fuck these guys up!" "Oh shit, I didn't think they were going to shoot back. Fuck this, I'm out!" I also liked how Glenn and Maggie are wearing the riot gear. What purpose does that serve exactly? Just in case they kill you, so...

    Haha! I haven't watched the episode yet, but I'm sure this will be the last one I do. Over the last several weeks I've read this thread before watching the episode, because I care that little about spoilers.

    Thumbs up! The previously on was pretty heavy handed. Hopefully that doesn't continue. I'm also embarrassed by how many people posted about how they were excited about Walking Dead finale, and almost no one about GoT. Retards.

    This article was written before the Romo deal, but it talks about the cap problems of the Cowboys. Sounds like they'll have a lot of dead money coming up in the next few years, which will hurt. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ey...up-for-cowboys Here's something from ES. Put whatever...

    I hope not, for the sanity of Browns fans. You can't roll into the season with Weeden and Jason Campbell. I was reading a thread on their board about the Campbell signing. The overwhelming consensus was, "Campbell is ok as a backup. As long as we've got McCoy though, we've hopefully got a...

    Cochran is gold. Him talking about Phillip was fucking hilarious. Part of that was how out there Phillip is becoming. I like how Cochran also called out Julia for being so boring.

    The Walking Dead

    It's funny because the season started out with them mentioning farming. I guess the writers decided surviving the zombie apocolypse was too boring, and instead went with a war where nothing happens. In fact, it doesn't really appear that the characters in the show do anything to improve their...

    I'm confused by your recommendation for anti-inflammatories. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of lifting? You're impeding the body's abilities to heal whatever parts you've worked out. Your muscle adapt to the trauma caused by lifting by healing. It heals by sending blood to the area...

    Outside of the Army guys, who has the governor just straight up murdered? They've alluded that it's happened before, but Rick's crew has been just as ruthless. The governor took in Andrea and Michone, and all of Tyreese's group. That's why I think this show sucks. If you want him to be an...

    Bicep or pectoral tendonitis or tear, would be my guess. With the amount of pain you're getting, I'd say tear. It's also possible you've got some issues with your rotator cuff.

    Earlier in the season. I can't find it because anytime I google Ravens and Orioles in the same query, all I get is this fucking story. But they basically had an official communication (it may have been twitter) that said something about how no one gives a shit about watching the Orioles. They...

    It also might not help that the Ravens shit all over the Orioles last year saying that no one wanted to watch them anyway. I would hope this is a fuck you to them.

    Yeah, that's already decided. Orioles said fuck you, we're not moving our schedule. So either Ravens play on the road, or they don't open the season. Or maybe they move it to Wednesday night somehow.

    First, don't worry so much about what you eat on workout days. Look at the overall amount for the week, keeping in mind that 1 pound is 3500 k/cals (this is especially true since you don't sound like you're serious about putting on mass, you just want to get bigger casually). Second, I...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Once again, because Monsanto is a chemical company. They make money from their pesticide. The more of their seed that gets out, the better. Are they making less money from seeds? Sure. But they're not going to go under because they no longer own the exclusive rights to a plant. What happens...

    Except Monsanto shit is just normal plants, resistant to Round Up. So long as there's a need for pesticides, there will be customers for Monsanto. Plus, why does Monsanto get to patent the work of thousands (or millions) of other farmers who genetically modified those crops to bring them to...

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Here's what I was talking about earlier; SCOTUS is ruling on it: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-...patent-claims/ What it boils down to is, Monsanto sells their GM soybeans to farmers. In doing so, the farmers sign a contract saying they won't replant any of the seeds, but they can...
