CnP's continuing coverage of Pehlwan training is interesting:

My roommate swings the fuck out of weight. Probably not bad compared to many, but to me it's fucking atrocious. I cannot see the point of using weight that requires you to emply muscles other than the targeted ones unless you are doing extremely complex compound movements and trying to break through a barier.

If you cannot plant you feet and lean against a way and still do that same bicep curl you are using too much fucking weight. Unless you are Ronnie ain't-nothin-but-a-peanut Coleman, stop, just stop. The miniscule weight we lift does not require the ballance altering motion that you see on freaks of that caliber. And even then, I think he swings too much at times. However he is the biggest and best and had no major injury related to bad form that I know of.

Same as guys pedaling with bad ergonomics. It will take it's price out of your body someday.

You are an extreme minority Stefan. Most jack holes who start training in the style you do are even worse with form.

Normally I don't care about people fucking around like that, but every one, and I mean every last one of them, has to tell me about how I may or may not be doin it wrong. If your pushing my weight or more, and want to be constructive, talk to me. Lets share tips etc, but when you are yanking a 55 for bent over rows and see me arch up and slowly bang out rep with 80s don't walk up and open dialog with me doing it wrong.

My gym now is much better. But it was a fucking nightmare before. I would get accosted at least once a week. Once while benching a dude actually rushed over to spot me. Not like, make sure I didn't kill myself spot but actually grabbed the bar as it was moving up. I had a good 3-4 reps in me too and it wasn't with my heaviest work set. I yelled so loud he stumbled backwards over a bench.

What a good way to wreck my rotator cuff, taking off weight unexpectedly and unevenly....

I still heat up over that. Fucktards who know just enough to be dangerous are the worst accidents waiting to happen in any situation.

Fucktards suck

someone let the magic smoke out of the 25kV->345kV main transformer...*sigh*...guess I won't have to worry about getting hired on anytime soon.

With the bicep curls one can simply place their elbow against their stomach correct? Gets rid of additional shoulder "help" and can't swing the weight behind you for momentum.

That's about the only weight I pick up now, and occasional DL.

Another reason why I'm glad I can do everything at home--not deal with other people.

Crossfit never ceases to amaze me.

http://www.cftally.c...tag/front-lever

Only the center picture is okay, but it's still not even correct.

Fuck the proper progressions, so let's just compromise form, or cheat. Too weak to do a muscle-up, let's kip. Too weak or "elite" to do a full chin/pullup, so we'll do partial rom, or even swing. Our swinging pullups look so fucking ridiculous let's give them a fancy name (butterfly pullups) so people presume they have a purpose.

Having a fucking seizure on the bar bro?

I'm sorry, but crossfit has become a joke to me. This is just one of so many video examples of people who do not have athletic talent or true gym experience, thinking they are hot shit with crossfit.

[ssh 924]

Crossfit is the epitome of "short cuts" and big ego. I know there are crossfit centers that are legit, but they aren't very common.

[///M5 2,833]

When I want to be crossfit I just run around carrying both boys. >50lbs of moving mass that won't sit still gets to the core.

[///M5 2,833]

Have a little crossfitting to do right now as well. Snow trailer is loaded full of construction debris. Time to go unload!

^Fun stuff.

I wonder if life exists on Titan (moon of Saturn). It has ice, hydrocarbon lakes, and the atmosphere contains nitrogen and methane.

Read any Arthur C. Clark? He writes some great sci-fi, but he was an amazing scientist.

I have not. I was reading some papers by Sarah Horst as she studied Titan's atmosphere exclusively.

Sure you can still swing it. You just keep yourself honest man. It's like pull ups. Technically if you complete a pull up, then you complete it, but you know that you can yank it up and cheat. Same thang mang.

Clark is most known for 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is an amazing work, the follow up, 2010 was also very good and deals with the possibility of life on Saturn's moons. It's obviously fiction, but Clark was a scientist and deals with real issues- no magic gravity devices or aliens that look just like us, but with different foreheads. If you're a science fiction fan, it's some of the best reading you'll ever do.

Was just thinking of a good way to explain it properly to someone when you aren't face to face to point out any absurdities.

Have you seen the trailer for "Pain and Gain" with Mark Wahlberg and and Dwayne Johnson? Looks like a pretty good bro movie, but I was dissapointed in the trailer when The Rock was doing partial pullups.

I'll have to read his stuff sometime, for the last few years I've only read textbooks and whitepapers for leisure haha.

We have trailer parks, but I never thought of them as a ghetto.

What did you think of them as, resorts?

Where do you think he vacations?

Most of ours is older people and I am sure if you look hard enough there are less than nice ones. Hell I did live in a nice one when we first started out for about 3 years. I sold the trailor for more than I paid for it, but that was a nice area that was older people.

My gym is tiny and having people talk to me about bent over rows only happened twice.

At one point some guy rushed to help me on my last reps squatting, which was pretty cool and helpful.
