[QUOTE=Fivefootkillerz;1020947463]I always looks over student campus positions I need to check it out. I was just going to try for some manual labor but might mix it up this Time[/QUOTE]
You could see if the campus needs help with planting new stuff for the spring season, usually pretty busy time of year. My uni is an arboretum so they get off on having a koi pond, flowers, plants, and all the chit that makes you a pansy. We also have like 10 cats that live in the sewer drains, srs.
i need and will continue to need letters of recommendation so i've been busting my ass this year doing as much as i can in the chem and bio departments. bio tutoring, organic lab TA, chem research, chem grading, bio club... it keeps me busy, brushes me up on all the topics, and will get me awesome contacts and honestly, yeah it gets me preferential treatment sometimes.

Any anatomy classes bax? ;)
[QUOTE=simp3204;1020888743]I'm sure science would back that claim up. The main issue with male sperm is that there is no longer competition between males for mates (for the most part) and therefore our sperm is suffering due to crap genetics being passed to the next generation. I'm way too lazy to look up the articles on it, but it's a pretty interesting topic.[/QUOTE]
I see what you did there...

If that's the only reason you're not coming out then you have no right to talk **** ever again...
Brb not strong enough to press a 80lb keg, load a 150lb sandbag, or yoke/farmers carry 100lbs...
The gym is boring as **** compared to all the fun activities of strongman...it'll also condition you with gpp since you're so worried about becoming a fat piece of ****...

Nah its not that. I really enjoy pl'ing and dont plan on competing in strongman anytime soon. So coming out there and doing events isnt gonna help my total, why suck at 2 things when I can partialy suck at one? You dont like lifting at the gym? If you love strongman why not make it your main focus, your already a decent at pressing.
New goal: Become the next Dan G or Zmcdole of these boards.

You could use another 40-50 lbs. That was a pretty nice bench though.

Control the weight at the bottom and keep your hips up the whole time. You're dropping the weight and then using your legs to get it started again.
Holy fukk, my adductors are ridiculously sore from doing a set of 100 flutter kicks two days ago. Can't believe how much it hurts.
Used to be able to do 200 back in the day no problem :(.
Why flutter kicks? Hate those they make my hip click weird for a day or two after.
Marriage t-minus 17 days. Then the perpetual bulk reignites and I get to finally deal with my squat.

Because in my USMC days, I had to do them all the time and I was feeling nostalgic.
Sweet, going to become an apprentice pipe fitter. Pretty ****ing excited about starting in August.

Better get your drinking shoes tied tight....dem boys are in the major leagues.

yeah, union pay to boot. can't go unpaid I have a family, first year I'll probably have to work a second part-time job but after a year or two I'll be making much more than I am currently.

You need to let me know how it goes. I was thinking of doing the same thing eventually. UA, right?

That's the one. First year you're learning both plumbing and pipe fitting, then you choose between the two for your four years.
Tired of working ****te warehouse jobs for next to nothing.

Watching people's dogs, walking in to every office asking if I can do anything for them, half way teaching my research methods class because nobody ****ing knew what WebofKnowledge was or how to use it, or how to do APA citations, or that things existed beyond abstracts

kinda had a similar thing the other day from back squats, i heated the hell out of it for a couple days until it was not too sore to roll then i gently rolled and did thoracic extension crunches on a lax ball to get a bit deeper. feels fine now. i'd try heating and ibuprofin/tylenol/naproxen for a few days and see if it gets better. heat made me feel a lot better.
on a side note, i couldn't sleep on my stomach like i normally do when i was like that, so i had to sleep on my back (which was basically previously impossible for me idk why) and now i'm a lot more used to sleeping on my back. should help with neck and trap stiffness when i wake up in the mornings now. mobilitywod said it's basically torture on your neck and upper back to sleep on your stomach.

Cliffs on activity ITT over the weekend?
I forgot to tell you guys that me, Ben Seath, gym owner, and other dude I train with threw out (and left outside for ppl to steal) the only smith machine in the gym. Wasn't on my bucket list before, but should have been.
anyone play psn games and have recommendations?

People complained about being sore after training, I think that was the highlight.
