If it's large enough, then a resounding no, but if I have enough of a size advantage then maybe. The main reason for this is that most, if not all, trained attack dogs go for limbs. They're not there to kill, but to encumber |

Yes there was a lot of this. The short of it is that in order for strikers to have a chance, they needed to learn enough defensive grappling |

Dogs don't lose much by having their legs off the ground if they have a hold anywhere on your body. Their torso and neck is where a lot of their musculature is, and they torque their body in a shark like motion, flinging you around and tearing at your flesh without even being in contact with the ground. | |

That's if they're hanging. If they're on the ground and dont have feet beneath them, they lose tons of leverage and power. Also, I've heard that if you can hold a dog's neck on the ground, it cant even get back to its feet because it requires position and momentum from the neck in order to do so. |

I still think, as a general rule, anyone with considerable martial arts training and experience would generally kick the shit out of someone without it. That includes old men with lots of experience against young men with none. The fact the you wrestled a bit when you was younger does not offset years of training. | |

First, don't front like you're the only guy that knows jump around and second, I got a kitten a couple of weeks ago and I've had more cuts and scratches in the last fortnight than I can count. He's a vicious little shit who attacks anything that moves, and almost anything that doesn't. | |

a friend is licensed as a professional fighter (i think his specialities are thai kick boxing and jujitsu?) and as he came back to his car some douchebag was in the process of stealnig his car radio. gave the guy the asswhooping he deserved, then later got a letter saying he's being sued for using his skills without just cause, and the guy won the case. | |

No it's not, it's not up to someone in the public to decide the punishment for a crime, especially when they will be angry at what's happening. Imagine how fucked up society would be if people could dish out their own punishments for any crime. Sorry, I'm going to have to set you on fire because you were driving with wet shoes. |

@ lukie, I actually called my dad to check the legitimacy of the first story. Turns out I wasn't in the bar when it happened, I was on an arcade game in the next room, but he was there and it did happen as I said. The dude who flew over the pool table was kicked over it. No other details but this was over 20 yrs ago. Odd how I remember it as if I was there, although it does feel vague. | |

Lots of memories you have as a child will actually have been events that took place which have heard been spoke about and you have filled the rest in yourself. Very few will be anywhere near exact. Can't remember what it's called though, I found out about it a while ago because my sister does it all the time. |

I'm not saying that people should punish other people as they see fit, at all. When it comes to things where you're protecting yourself, people you care about, or your shit, you should be able to defend yourself, people you care about, or your shit. | |

do squat form like this. if doing back squats, just imagine instead of the bar in front of your neck on your deltoids, it's behind your neck on your traps. also elbows under bar for back squats instead of in front of bar like in video |

Yeah knees should track roughly over toes. A good start for foot positioning on a raw full squat is heels at roughly shoulder width and toes anywhere from slightly out to maybe 30 degrees out. Ideally they should track directly over toes but a slight deviation isn't going to mangle you. | |

i honestly think that newbs should train front squats because it teaches proper form better than back squats. they can be a problem if wrists are not flexible enough, but that can be fixed. people dont like them because lower weights have to be used, and going high rep is difficult once you have to suck in air and keep your delts taut and high and carry the load properly. squats should probably never be high rep anyways unless you know what you're doing |

Good points... I doubt your were responding so quickly to my last post but I think goblet squats are a good way to teach a beginner good squat form. It's pretty much like a front squat only you are holding a dumbell or some other type of weight in front of you with arms flexed http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/cm...at-483x300.jpg | |

You should be able to make healthy meals that taste great. Anything less is due to laziness or not having any cooking skills (and really, following a recipe isn't hard, so it comes back to being lazy.) | |

1:42 is perfect at the bottom. Look at where his knees are, his head is down, chest out. But because it's heavy his heels do come off the floor as part of a small bounce because he's driving hard. chicks form is rock solid. | |

It's things like pizza, pasta, and burger and fries that are like this. I would argue that there is a hefty amount of "hit the spot" foods that are quite healthy, they just have to focus on being meat/fat/vegetable instead of grain/meat/fat. It's also a bit more expensive to eat healthy. Meat costs money, bread doesn't |

The problem with how we cook though is we will eat some shit take out meal or sit in some food chain and think 2800 calories tastes the shit. But when we cook at home and have meat and veggies we think 500 calories tastes like ass. Try learning to use seasoning, spices, cooking techniques and even using things like butter and make 700 calories taste fucking awesome. You don't have to think one or the other. | |

A lot of what he said about Breakfast and metabolism isn't true but is the belief amongst many in and out of the field of nutrition and fitness. It worked for him and that is great. The whole food swap or nutritionally dense vs calorie dense is key. I like Altons ideas about cooking though in general. Haven't seen his show on in Canada for some time. | |

Yeah it's one thing for a team involved in a strength sport like powerlifting or weightlifting to push towards failure. For someone who is just looking for some decent size/strength it's unnecessarily hard and dangerous. (edit: talking about back squatting) | |

I've recently started eating healthier + bigger portions and not drank as much (the latter not being planned) and I don't understand why people would rather eat shit. I just had pan fried Mackerel, with chilli powder, pepper and lemon juice with rice and chopped tomatoes, I usually have a bit of lettuce with it too but not got any atm and that's so much nicer than almost any "shit" alternative I could have had instead. Only costs like £2 too. |

I think the drugs issue is a wash. Americans are using just as good of drugs as Europeans. Even in places where steroids aren't illegal, in certain circles, it's probably easier to get good juice in the states, if anything. |

Here's one way to look at it: if you go to failure, then that means that the only rep that mattered is the failure rep. This is because every other rep was easier, and thus isn't providing you the benefit that the final rep does. So then take that logic and you find that all you should ever do is max singles. But it's easy to see that if you did that you wouldn't gain much strength and would only just injure yourself and get sick pretty much constantly. Even hardcores who love going to failure and doing maxes don't to it at that frequency |
