Waterboarding sounds like a fun ride at an amusement park.

It will take your breath away...

Oh god, good luck. I'd puke for sure.

TFW stuck on a call, it's lunch time, and you're starving

Computer died again, but car also needed a $800 service yesterday, which is really awesome

I was going to sign up for that once, figured I would sprint the first part really hard, cram down all the doughnuts, and make a fast paced walk back.

If it makes you feel any better, and it probably doesn't...just got a tranny rebuild...2.5k down the drain =/

[jdrush]

I'm thinking I'll do the first 2.5 in about twenty minutes max then I can do about a 4.5 mph pace back.

Long day of my own doing. Woke up earlier than usual and decided to go into work and finish up stuff so I can get off earlier than usual on Friday. On the way home, I stopped by a store to get some stuff. Had a head rush while perusing the aisles. I had skipped lunch and my breakfast consisted of a GY cup.

Night gramps, Get that warm milk in before you hit the hay! <3

I'm going to beat that ass of yours.

Night old man. And yes, you can grow new blood vessels in response to exercise. It has been seen but not proven exactly why. Nitric oxide release is thought to be one possible cause. There's a few types of blood vessel growth: angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, arteriogenesis, which are all part of the umbrella neovascularization. It is extremely complicated and even being in the medical field it's hard for me to understand it all clearly enough to explain it in very basic laymen terms. But to answer your question, yes it is possible.



In other news, 3 people at work told me yesterday that I look like I've been losing weight. I guess 3 months not going to the gym will do that.

Old man? I'm going to hunt a moose this winter. I recall reading something about it last year but I wasn't sure if it was a bunch of nonsense or was fact. Thanks for the info, Clark Kent.

you means there's more than just track n field, weightlifting and hockey?

Erik loves the Greco-Roman style wrestling, men's division.

I have everything except the glove and eye patch...

[SOJA]

Oh. Thanks for the reminder, Jason. I need to get in touch with SIG USA to start the warranty process on my P220. My P30L will have to do until SIG replaces the barrel. I'm not going to spend $250 on a barrel replacement for a defective barrel.

I prefer Colt, but I feel you on the replacement barrel.

On my bucket list is the Colt CQBP .45...however the 2100.00 price tag is a bit...pricey.

when did you last clean your computer fans and PSU guts?
just sayin

[necon76]

Somebody plase halp meh.


I'm trying to find one of Kelei's old threads, for a PPL routine that isn't rest pause. IIRC it was straight sets where the weight increased after you can hit 12 on the first set. I've done a couple of searches but found diddly.




Edit: Nvm, got it.

I think I bought mine for around 1400 which included 3 extra clips and some other doodads. I noticed something was up after my last shooting outing when the projectile would fall or go either way. I didn't think much of it until after I cleaned it and some time had passed until recently when I was able to find a light thin enough to stick in the barrel. The outside of the barrel unit is fine, the inside's a different story.

Pfft, you're plenty smart. It's one of the reason why Bacon is happening. You think on your next outing you can bring me a boomerang so I can throw it at Erik's head? Kthxbai

[klaximilian]

I wasn't a big fan of it. Didn't taste like pumpkin to me either, just overly sweet. I've eaten 2 of them now and I just don't taste any hint of pumpkin pie, unfortunately.

Just looked back at my log - I also gave it a 4/10 lol

I deliberately am not buying Quest PP just because of your review. And their chitty new recipe.

Just scored myself some Trutein Pumpkin Pie Protein. I can't wait to make pumpkin pancakes on Sunday.

If you don't want it back, just save yourself some money and use a big stick.

I hate feeling like a sloth. If only it weren't 9 P.M and I could make coffee..

Back when I was a coffee fiend, I'd make cold brew coffee. Dunno if you've ever had it, but it tastes a lot better than hot coffee.

The original version of the routine can be found here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=146471313

I've made several changes, the most significant of which happens to be the abandonment of strict rest-pause, although I still believe in training to/near failure. If you're unable to perform particular exercises due to equipment/injury issues you'll need to incorporate similar alternative exercises, the exercises I've listed are in accordance with my personal preferences. The advanced version is my personal routine in case any of you are wondering.

-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------

Pick a 10RM and perform 3-5 sets to failure (as many full reps as possible), rest 90 seconds between sets, add more weight once you can complete 12 reps in your first set. For calves pick a 15RM and add more weight once you can complete 20 reps in your first set.

You should cycle through D1, D2 and D3 no matter what day of the week it is, if you performed D2 the last time you were in the gym you should perform D3 the next time you're in the gym etc. Rest days are taken whenever they're needed, you can also take days off for special occasions etc, this should be flexible enough for most people.

I expect beginners to have spent at least a few weeks learning proper/safe form before starting this routine properly, it's not safe to jump straight into training to/near failure.

I recommend a 3/1 week loading/deloading schedule, during a deload you should perform only your first set of each exercise.
