beginners and weak/small people make huge gains doing anything. the rules change once you hit the intermediate/advanced stages. in those stages, stability balls are very rarely used by anybody who knows what they're doing, and when they are used it's for low intensity/recovery purposes.Quote:

also if youre confused about my reference to 250 million years or so it has to do with the evolution of human physiology, and that our systems are not meant to thrive on unstable surfaces. the CNS and musculature just doesn't achieve the kinds of results under the 'weird' stimulus from something like stability balls as it does from standard 'normal' exercises. but like i said anybody will see neuromuscular improvements by doing just about anything if the net result is an increase in energy output
but dood, quarter squatting 1 plate creates more functional mass than full squatting 3 plates. bulky muscles just slow u downQuote:

he's so funny.
i went to the gym early today.. maybe 2-3ish.. a few observations:
1) lots of hot HS-collegeish aged women. seriously wtf. i didn't know where to start really so i just did my workout, chalked my hands a bit, made a few grunts and mean faces and got out of there.
on the flip side of this, there were also many douchebag HS-collegeish douchebags (yes, i needed to say it twice) up there. if the idiot walking RIGHT in front of me while i was doing power cleans wasn't bad enough, the even bigger idiot macking on what was clearly his very hot girlfriend put me in a steaming cauldron of rage.
2) i did some leg presses at the end of my workout. there happened to be another leg press right next to it, very close. the father son circus was going on there. i've seen the dad make this kid do the worst back rounded, shaky jerky deadlifts ive ever seen in my life. anyway i'm leg pressing and the kid bumps the weight rack thingy which, to say the least, did not please me.
i kept it calm though and after i finished my set and the moronic dad was on the other leg press giving instructions to his observing son, i calmly and quietly asked the son to try to be a little more careful and give more room to lifters in the future. son was cool about it, dad not so much. he kinda snapped, i started laughing and made a few sarcastic comments, and i got the hell out of there before i buried his face into the ground.
the end, i hope nobody was expecting anything to happen
I just saw some guys BMW with the license plate "CHEKRAISE" or something like that.
a car in my gf's apt complex has a plate that says yarrrr with a trogdor bumper sticker
makes me smile every time

I don't think a small rock could knock someone off their feet like that, it would snap their head back, and then they would just collapse or something IMO.
not at all. I just don't need photoshopped stimulation to tickle my funny-bone. Real-life shit is just as funny, and in many cases, moreso!
Edit: wait, where'd that rilla post go? Something about me being a sad husk or something?
i deleted my post because i realized its not a conversation worth having. sorry bout that.

I am fucking scarred for life guys! I was persuaded to read the short story "Guts" by Chuck Palahniuk earlier this evening. Has anybody read this? Maybe I'm a pussy but I threw up, my whole body aches and it's 5 a.m. and I cannot sleep after that shit. Seriously some fucked up shit. What is wrong with people publishing that kind of stuff?!?!
i thought it was kinda funny.Quote:

A flatline is an electrical time sequence measurement that shows no activity and therefore when represented, shows a flat line instead of a moving one. It almost always refers to either a flatlined electrocardiogram, where the heart shows no electrical activity (asystole), or to a flat electroencephalogram, in which the brain shows no electrical activity (brain death).

So, idk, there are some awesome custom plates imo, but ya most are douchebaggy.

Can anyone recommend a wireless headset with studio(ish) style headphones? To clarify, wireless, i.e. no chords, headset (w/ mic) and not the tiny kind of earphones.

From the looks of it, MIT's current projection is very conservative given that they didn't account for several feedback loops that would cause an unknown but theoretically devastating runaway effect of warming. They mentioned the permafrost beginning to melt which hold about 100 years worth of current emissions, but probably other ones like the effects of reduced arctic ice, reduced ocean absorption of carbon, etcQuote:

My wife and I are replacing our fence. We got our first bid on Saturday.
This morning I awoke at 7am to a bunch of banging in what seemed to be my back yard. I have the summer off (it's awesome being a teacher), so this pissed me off like you wouldn't believe. I got up to see what the hell was going on out there, and found that a fence company was replacing our neighbor's fence (we share a 120-ft long/6-ft high fence with her).
Needless to say, I was no longer pissed. I no longer have to pay for that portion of a new fence. So by waking up this morning (and not starting the fence project two weeks ago like I had hoped), I made/saved at the very least $1500. Woot.
wat do u teach ug
I teach American History. It's supposed to be 1865-present, but because of standards and testing bullshit it was 1900-present this year.
I am also the assistant varsity baseball coach (played through college) and head bowling coach (easiest job in the world)...
Which esteemed college is able to claim you as it's alum?Quote:
