Apparently he got divorced and became a SJW... too much soy perhaps?

Got married 4 years ago. I'm good thanks

Best thing about Trump is now you finally know who all the secret racist bigots are.

I wanted to share something training related.

After about six months of daily work on my shoulders, I started lifting again. I worked my way up slowly and waited for the pain to come back, but it never did.

That's great news Lenco. But the real question is have you found a buddy to do curls with again?

Spoiler!

RDL's > Deads for bodybuilding purposes all day long

In full agreement. A lot less weight than a DL max, strict form for higher reps, targeting a good stretch in the hams, back straight with the bar in full contact with the legs, and not to failure where form breaks down is one of the best exercises you can do IMO.

Of course the deadlift faithful will point to its back building benefits but I'd argue rows, pullups, and shrugs can combine to do an even better job without putting the lower back at risk.

And the ability to let the neighborhood know you're lifting weights.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a racist bigot, we get it.

Please seek help. TDS is real, folks.

Go back a few pages to November 2016. You'll enjoy it.

It seems politics has gotten more toxic than ever. You don't hate Trump, then you are a racist. You hate Trump, then you are a beta cuck.

The reality is both conservatives and liberals make good points but everyone is too busy screaming to listen. Some of the older partners talk about a time where they cared more about the common good than party affiliation and being right or wrong. It must have been nice, even if a revisionist history

Sad, but true. I actually disagree with a few things Trump has done. For the most part I think he has done a good job though.

The best thing about Trump is his Twitter... it always makes me smile.

You weren't lying. Is Final_Rep okay? Fortunately for me, I feel like I'm experiencing it again for the first time with W8isn'tG8's meltdown.

[Orlando1234977]

lol at the first sentence of post 1986. I don't even remember writing that, but it was so well played..for the time.

[Orlando1234977]

I think it's great W8 can air out his thoughts on here among a group that already likes and respects him. All viewpoints are interesting, but of course the problem we all face is nobody is ever going to change anyone else's mind..especially online.
Now we need to get freppy back.

And really, not just politics. It confirms the proven research that persuasion and influence is over 90% body language (including appropriate active listening) and tonality, and less than 10% is the actually words used. So of course, it's nearly impossible to influence based on words alone, regardless of the level of an air tight case being presented, as it only pertains to our conscious mind. Body language and tonality plays on the subconscious mind, which is the critical piece to persuade and get what you want. Bill Clinton is an example of a master of body language.

How can I use body language and tonality to be more persuasive?

[Lencho]

Spoiler!

lmao, “more back, more back!”


Damn, those were some good times.

[Orlando1234977]

Great question. Just like anything else, through lots of study and lots of practice. The good news is even the smallest improvements will yield massive results. Probably the most important subject one can learn. Obviously salesmen, lawyers, politicians, business owners etc should master it, but it applies to everyone, like getting your kid to take a bath.

Thanks man, you still snapping photos? How’s the kiddo. Been awhile since I been on here...feel like I’ve missed so much of everyone’s kiddos growing up.

I said that I is creative director. That way my vote will have more impact.

Means a lot to me, did you dig the video?

I basically started doing film the last 2 years. Was my first attempt doing a music video.

Started school. How about yours?

Still taking photos but haven't shot any landscapes this year. Like our old buddy Frep that's my favorite way to put my camera gear to use mainly for the experience of being somewhere beautiful, waiting for the perfect light, etc., and coming away with photos is just a bonus. The video side of things which you've been exploring is my next goal. I like the idea of being able to do it all with content creation from video, stills, and even score the music so I've been slowly putting some pieces together in the form of a studio. The most important thing is being inspired. When you're inspired good stuff happens.

Yeah it's a cool video. I thought you did a good job.

So they're pretty much "actors" and it's your project through and through?

I don't ever shoot in portrait mode. Maybe if it's for a picture of a person, but otherwise, when it's scenery I do landscape.

Kiddo starts kindergarten this year in about a month, that’s first year of “real” school. He’ll be 6 in November.

I got about a dozen or so film projects under the belt now. Have learned how to do everything myself from producing to full edit. For audio Audacity is a great tool to cut the teeth on, completely free too. I currently use Reaper which is a one time purchase software but has a free full version you can try out. I have learned how to edit in Vegas Pro & Avid. I like both for different reasons.

What camera you shooting with, Nikon man weren’t ya?

[Hishiad]

Yeah basically. I directed, produced, edited video & audio. Had my friend film everything on his Sony a6500 & he did color editing. The one guy is actually a MMA fighter though.

No I know that's why I did those quote things.
