2020 Part 6: preworkouts & forums

[Iluvmud]

Hit the gym for the first time since March and damn did it feel so f'n good to be back hitting the weights.

no chit!!!! Samwe here.... body sore AF and was embarrassed cause 75lb dumbbells were kicking my ace on dumbbell presses.... 40lb decrease from March........ thats A LOT! Had to join a new gym and they only have 100's so goal is to be back at the 100's within the month.

Im so friggin sore right now but man did I miss lifting!!!!

Forgive my obvious ignorance, but is this something specific to the MN department? Again, I don't know what I don't know, but I thought police we're trained to kneel on the shoulder blades/upper back rather than the neck? Does it vary depending on the department?

Many Departments have different polices regarding control holds. Our Use of Force policies have changed quite a bit over the past few years, and this unfortunate incident will impact law enforcement training throughout the world

The autopsy was released and George Floyd did not die from strangulation/asphyxiation. Intoxicants and or a heart condition might be responsible, along with the use of force. My guess is another autopsy will be performed

CNN since Monday have been VERY pro-black and understanding of their frustration with police brutality and etc

Last night Atlanta rioters tried to destroy CNN HQ.... just lol

This morning I was switching CNN and Fox News.....

CNN: we understand their anger....they need a place to vent as long as no one dies during these protests.
Fox News: What the hell!?!?! cops should be rounding up these rioters and throwing their a$$e$ in jail. We are for protesting and all but please dont tell me that stealing TVs and liquor symbolizes "I'm doing this for my community"

just lol

This 2020 election is going to get real ugly

All I know is I was supposed to be off today. It’s my birthday. My fiancée has been stuck up in northern OH since mid-March due to COVID (and then she broke her leg). I’ve only seen her four days total, and she came down for my birthday now that her leg is getting better.

Instead, my off days were cancelled and I’m sitting here trying to get a few minutes of relaxation in riot gear.

Possibly moving back to West Palm. If so, I am building a home gym in the garage. I can’t wait.

Sucks bro, stay safe out there, people are acting really dumb right now.

Heck yeah. Blast some music and not having to pay fees, can work out anytime.

Your home gym opens and closes anytime and ALL holidays it's open or closed it's your choice and if
we have to go on lock down again in the future you won't have to worry about when the gyms are
gonna open again.

It's just not the same as being at a gym

You’re right. I don’t have to tell some dip**** to stop curling in the squat rack.

Tasty!

Does anyone still have a 10% off code they can provide? I needed to pick up a preworkout.

bbcom stopped with that awhile ago.

And my old computer went tits up costing me my bookmark to the page that had a new code every month

Once in a while when I go to a gym to help someone with their training it BLOWS my mind watching
what people are doing in a gym. Some are spending more time taking pics of themselves than they
are working out.

Tried a MusclePharm crisp bar yesterday. It was stale as hell and tasted like chit.

Yeah, at my last gym had a guy literally taking vids of some of the craziest chit Ive ever seen..... fool doing kneeling dumbbell presses....... on a friggin balance ball!

When I went through the Police Academy and got POST (Peace Officer Standards Training) certified in 2011, just in time for a nice state wide hiring freeze, even then we were trained (in CA) that the throat was pretty much deadly force due to the very high chance of accidentally causing serious injury. A lot of that came from cops having used batons to choke people out and crushing wind pipes.

I can only assume, which might be wrong, that their training would be similar; they do have a Police Academy, and unless they are way behind on their Use of Force policy it should not be common. Given the officer who was doing it had a lot of time in he might have been around when it was OK to do, but POST certification is usually required to be renewed annually. This includes updated Use of Force training.

I know that every time there is a change in our Use of Force policy they make sure everyone gets trained, and it is documented, before the change even takes effect.

Many Departments have different polices regarding control holds. Our Use of Force policies have changed quite a bit over the past few years, and this unfortunate incident will impact law enforcement training throughout the world

Appreciate the insights guys, thanks for sharing.

I don't even know what to say anymore. This very clear division the media has been instigating for years has generated some of the most ridiculous, narrow sighted perspectives I've come across.

Here in Canada, it's lefty central. I identify as non partisan, but anything I say that isn't 100% in line w leftist ideology immediately get's targeted and pigeonholed as "far-right" and "facist". The division is insane. I can't even criticize the riots, or separate the peaceful protesters from the violent rioters without lefties jumping down my neck and calling my a privileged white man......I don't even know what to say anymore, and I think it's pretty clear things are just going to get crazier and crazier leading up to this election.

And CNN, haven't 2-3 people already died during these riots?

It's similar in the states, and God help you if they find out you believe in anybody but the police owning guns



Although this past week the "only cops are responsible enough to have those guns" part has quieted down a bit...

you can try using the Honey app to see what pops up

ugh, don't get me started. Getting a gun in Canada is next to impossible (not really, but very difficult and long process) and I don't own any guns, but that **** is just ridiculous. I fully support your 2nd amendment. Especially with what we're seeing right now. I just saw a video of a white business owner beaten to death by the rioters. Literally, beaten to death. The video ends with him in a heep on the ground, bleeding out and twitching. How anyone can justify these riots is beyond me, and how anyone can tell somebody that they can't protect themselves with a gun against this kind of injustice is beyond me.

edit: i fact checked that video and it turns out the headline was misleading (he was trying to be a vigilante,wasn't his business) , and the guy did survive, thank ****, but my point still stands.

I just saw that as well.....shocked and disturbed

Man, I really feel for you guys out in the states right now. I know these extremists and their violent riots don't represent your country. Hope everyone is staying safe.

My Brother is a district manager for Dollar Tree in Sacramento, multiple stores of his looted and burned. My Mom is a manager at Target, multiple stores in her area (not her store yet) looted too. Posts online about protesters heading into their neighborhood (Citrus Heights area) to burn housing, same with Roseville were my sister is. Fun times; quiet out near me though, told them to come here if **** gets rough. Might get sent out to Fresno if it gets bad there, they are already going through a list of C/Os who they can activate to help with riots if needed.

Hope this calms down quick, these idiot kids rioting don't know how fast sht will hit them if the military rolls in, they seem to think it's all a game. Nice seeing some of them getting arrested as the videos are all posted online, easy enough to identify them that way.

They have no clue....they think this civil unrest is a game. Extremists like Antifa....****ing privileged little children w no perspective and no clue how the world works. No clue of their own hypocrisy.

Yep, in for a rude awakening when the mass arrest start, they will learn real fast about consequences; like the lady who was arrested for throwing a Molotov, turns out she was a lawyer. Life ruined over idiotic ideology.

Not sure arrests will be enough deterrent for many of them
