The Shack: This is Most Likely the Last Thread

[The Shoeless Wonder]

Any Shack regulars want into the Rant fantasy football league? (manly is already in again)

sure. which site?

[Farley1324]

sure. which site?

League is full now.

Buuut I have a second league of bb.com guys, mostly misc firearms crew, but we are stalled at 8 guys...want in that one? It's on Yahoo

[The Shoeless Wonder]

ok.

Hey Farley,

After I cycle through my advanced novice patterns during my cut and into my bulk, I'll be doing TM

I see you're running it + have ran it before, so do you have any advice?

I'll be running it basically as is + alternating some assistance

ie one day curls and facepulls, then next tricep ext and chinups and calves

I'm running it for squats only right now, but I've run it a decent amount in the past.

My biggest mistake was over emphasizing volume day. VD is only a means to an end, the purpose of VD is to spur progress on intensity day (ID). You may not always need to add weight on VD to accomplish this. You may at some point need to reduce VD from 5 sets to 3 sets to continue progress (esp getting heavier weights) and you may need to drop from 5's on ID down to triples in order to continue adding weight as long as possible.

There is an e-book by Justin somebody all about TM, if you don't have it, PM me an email address and I'll send it to you. Lots of stuff in it

hey farls, you see the thing going down in texas? people are making a stand for the 2nd amendment by walking around with guns; public stores and such(no idea if loaded) What if a guy with a rtcp drops em?

Based on all of the videos and pictures I have seen, the guy that drops them would be a ****ing retard who would go to prison for something like 2nd degree murder or some kind of manslaughter. Most likely.

Did you ge the PM invite? Are you interested in and motivated to join that league and play out the season?

I don't know how to find it. I don't remember what it was and searching key words related to that in my email isn't showing anything.

Really don't think you could go wrong with either one (.308 or 30-06).
My personal preference would be to go with the 30-06, always have hunted with one and don't see myself switching.
What are you looking to hunt specifically? or will you be hunting a variety of game?

deer. thats the main game in nj.

For what uses?
Any kind of budget, willingness to spend money or not, etc?
There are a lot of choices.
It is not uncommon to buy a 12 gauge pump shotgun, probably a Remington or a Mossberg, that comes with two barrels. A longer (26" or so) smoothbore that accepts removable chokes + a shorter rifled barrel with actual sights. The longer barrel is used for shot (like, birdshot) and clays, trap, birds, rabbit or squirrel if you go that route, whatever, and the shorter rifled barrel is used with slugs for deer, or any other medium/large game. Of course, if you have an idea what it is you want to shoot with it, you can just buy one gun with the one barrel that suits your needs best. And you can always get more barrels later.
Example:
http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shoot...3Bcat104803380
$550 at Cabelas.
Good semi auto shotguns start to get expensive, and are not necessary. But you can certainly go that route too.
This kind of firearm can usually be purchased at just about any sporting/outdoors type of store, Walmart, etc.
The rifle...what do you want to do with it? You said you can't hunt with them? Since you can't hunt with it and are interested in .30-06 I'll assume that you won't get something 'tactical' or defensive oriented (like an AR or AK or whatever) (plus you could put buckshot or slugs in the shotgun with the shorter barrel in a pinch for that) you are probably looking at a bolt action something or other.
.30-06 is one of the best overall rifle cartridges there is.
Bolt rifles are not my forte. Start by looking up a Remington 700. That's more or less a standard. Savage also has some very nice, reasonably priced bolt action rifles.
Whatever you do...don't cheap out on the scope! A .30-06 or .308 (or any other serious cartridge) in a bolt gun is going to end up with a scope mounted...don't cheap out! It is totally normal, if you want something good, to spend as much as...if not more than...the cost of the rifle when you buy the scope. Lots of choices in scopes. Lots of cheap stuff. If you feel like, check out the options from Leupold.

ok, thanks. looking to get the rifle just to shoot/marksmanship. i know ny allows rifle hunting, so maybe one day ill go up there. havent looked into penn yet.

for the shotgun, my dad also has, i think, a bottom-load single barrel semi, and an o/u. im pretty sure they are remmington. i was thinking 12g as well. 10 would be too much. only thing is, if im gonna use a slug with the sg, I think i need a scope. NJ law

and yeah, i got the pm. i joined.

What are your guys thoughts on the US education system? How can it be improved? These kids need help... I just don't know how.

What are your guys thoughts on the US education system? How can it be improved? These kids need help... I just don't know how.

make it harder(srs). the problem is thanks to the schools and government trying to make sure every child graduates they have lowered the standards too far. these kids are smarter than that. challenge them and for the ones who fall behind, help them. and people have to accept the fact that not every kid is going to be a CEO, surgeon, lawyer, or even go to college. not sure when this became a terrible thing but it seems kids have the impression if you dont go to college then you are going to end up at McDonalds

[Farley1324]

It does need to be harder.

And based on my experience, we need higher intelligence and conceptual understanding requirements for teachers. Maybe if THEIR education had been better...

true. I hate to "badmouth" teachers because their pay is crappy, but it does seem our standards for teachers have dropped. one of my wife's cousins is a teacher for elementary kids..... I am not lying when I say this chick is dumber than a bag of bricks. I asked a question once to her about what I thought was a pretty simple math problem(I wanted confirmation I was using the correct order to get my answer) and she said "I cant help you, that seems like some college level math"

The equation I had to answer: 2x(Item 8 +50)

I wanted to confirm that the problem in the parenthesis got solved first THEN multiplied by 2...... isnt this elementary level math? This was for some testing I had to do so I figured asking a teacher would have been the easiest way to verify the answer

My sister-in-law is just out of college, going into education. I think middle school, not even sure lol. She was grading science papers back in November over Thanksgiving and was going to count off on a short answer because she thought "global warming causes an excess of greenhouse gasses"...and not the other way around (as they teach it). My brother and I were like um...no. She just totally didn't get it, it was explained to her, and she did her thing where she just moves on and kind of "whatever"s it without ever understanding.

Reminded me of some of my teachers from back in the day.

I must have been fortunate lol. I cant remember a single teacher of mine ever being short on knowledge in their subject matter. They may have been out of date slightly with some things, like Pluto no longer a planet(stuff like that), but they always seemed to have an answer even if it wasnt in the textbooks

[Farley1324]

I had some that were really good, and how I did in different areas at college was a direct reflection of the teachers I'd had on that material.

My high school chemistry teacher was extremely good, it helped that chem was not required so only kids who belonged there were present, for the most part. I had a really good trig teacher too.

They sure have.

With Lu and A2M out now we've gone from circling the drain to passing the event horizon.

im trying to cut.

[Farley1324]

Today's session.

I dislike cutting.

Press
3x5
45 x 5 (2 Pull-Ups)
95 x 5 (2 Pull-Ups)

115 x 5 (3 Pull-Ups)
130 x 5 (3 Pull-Ups)
150 x 8 (3 Pull-Ups)

1st set last AMRAP
115 x 15 (3 Pull-Ups)

Bench BBB (5:00 rest)
210 x 5 (5 Chin-Ups)
210 x 5 (5 Chin-Ups)
210 x 5 (5 Chin-Ups)
210 x 5 (5 Chin-Ups)
210 x 5 (5 Chin-Ups)

Jog
8:00

Garage (and outside) temp: 87*F-89*F (but only like 48% humidity)

Scale: Yesterday AM 210.2. Today AM 211.2. Post workout naked 212.2. After dinner 213.0 (WTF, this better correct in the next day or two)

Notes: The last time I pressed 150 for reps was April 18, so nearly 2 months ago. But I only got 6 reps then, 8 today...at what should turn out to be basically the same bodyweight...and I was bulking then, cutting now. Slow progress, but...it does seem to be progress.

IMO, this is definitely a sign of good progress.
