The official PL family appreciation thread, part VI

JMO, but I don't think it's worth it. I had so many friends study that and then never use it later on in life.

It'll be beneficial if you want to be a sports doctor or something. But what else would you use it for?

This: very few people do something with it. If you have amazing connections with sports teams or something you might get something out of it, but really you would want a better and more specified degree(s).

My girlfriend just finished that degree and used it to get in to Grad school to do physiotherapy. Most degrees are useless now unless you plan to go to grad school or gain some extra designation.

Well, I guess it depends on what you plan on doing as a job. It could come in handy for some other things maybe, but to try and get an actual job JUST for that subject is sort of a shot in the dark.

For example:
AVERAGE starting salary for chemistry bachelors: 35-40,000 a year
BASE salary for post doc chem PhD at universities: 50-60000 a year
BASE salary for post doc chem PhD at national lab: 70,000 a year
Tenure track professor at R1 school: 80,000 +
Staff scientist at national lab: 90-110000

Glad I'm in grad school!

Edit:
grad school stipend for chem PhD student: 18-26000, tuition, and health insurance (and more if you get a fellowship or something)

[Metal Jerk]

I dont know about that.


If he pays the money he'll probably get the degree either way.

I dont know, I want to do something I enjoy though, and I enjoy powerlifting.. so I wanted to do something related to that.

[NephilimRising]

How do you guys stretch your traps? Whenever I do the normal upper trap stretch, i can only feel it in my neck.

[TheGerberBaby]

IMO the undergrad degree in kinesiology is totally unnecessary since you can just get a CSCS.

i would probably grab something pull on it and stretch my neck. I can't remember a time ever needing to stretch my traps though. just pick up something heavy

[SecondSucks]

This, i've never actually though about stretching my traps....

[smitsky]

time for me to put on as much gear as possible and squat off a high box against bands.

i'm expecting the whole of the pl section to either slowly shake their heads in disgust or facepalm.

I am clapping my hands.

I am also clapping my hands.

You will hit 900 very soon (if you have not already).

[smitsky]

Many of us would probably be better off if we weren't so stubborn and took 2 weeks off once in a while.

Hey, you... do you still lift weights?

I haven't seen you around (not that I have been around).

Are you lifting Sat or Sun in Jersey?

[NephilimRising]

Physical therapy. I Can't lift heavy **** because it will pull my shoulder out of it's joint.

[Blindead]

I thought about getting a CSCS for the lulz. Your bachelors degree doesn't have to be related to ex phys does it?

[TheGerberBaby]

You referring to USAPL NJ States? Yeah, I lifted Sunday because I moved up to the 198s, but I was around most of Saturday to coach and hang out.

Lol, do I still lift weights? :P

Planned meets are = American Open, Arnold, Collegiate Nationals, Raw Nationals.

Nope. Just need a degree in something.

Edit to your edit

[TheGerberBaby]

Oh the American Open. It's in PA, not NJ lol. Yes, I'll be lifting on Sunday.

[smitsky]

Cool.

Yeah, shows you how smart I am

[wolfbaden6]

Ooh that competition's in Philly. I'm tempted to drop by and watch haha.

Man, I hate to even think about it. I have two years left in a double major and then I have to turn around and go back for two more years..



On another note..
I love this song. I feel bad that I like it as much as I do, but It's pretty much the soundtrack of my life right now♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



Did I catch the gay?














Like I give a fuck what you think..(Not directed towards Doollas.. anybody who reads this and think i caught the gay)

[Big Sexy J]

You didn't catch the gay. I've been listening to Rilo Kiley. Wait, we might have caught the gay.

[sushi362]

[fitlover]

Seems I'm going for 3 weeks instead of 2.

And 3 whole weeks away from squats and deadlifts is making me anxious.

Dude slayer rules...the ONLY cassette I currently own is a Slayer album. This song live though isn't that great. How can you differentiate those lyrics anyways lol.

Just take a day or two and throw your sis on your shoulder and pick up some heavy stuff. You'll be ok (where is it...there are really no gyms in the area?)

It's in Willington, Connecticut. From what she told me, there are no gyms there.

[Doollas]

I did a google search...there are a bunch of gyms about a half hour away. I'm from a small town so 30-mile drive to a decent gym doesn't seem too bad to me but I dunno about you.
