Congrats on the PR bench. I can’t really do benching with silly shoulder.
Hallie Mallie, you sure is jack’d. My shoulders are 41" (I think, have to re-measure them its been awhile) too but they look nothing like those peaky hills.
That is one bada$$ arm day!! I’m going to be embarassed to post mine tomorrow now!! At least I’m not using the pink weights 
Yay for your PR!
No PR’s for me for a while.
I agree on the TV show.

Just a thought, this could be indicating that the weight or reps is too high, since your body’s trying to get better leverage for them. Or it’s just unknowingly unleashing your inner come-hither, either way.
Also, a couple guys this morning declared that it was the Year of the Traps, so looks like your trap love has traveled the 2000 miles east.

Let me know what you decide to do for your traps. I’ve started doing cleans in the hope mine will pop up a bit. I want them convex, not concave.
Oh and I do dips but it all depends on how much shit my rotator cuff is giving me. It’s not a great exercise for shitty shoulders.[/quote]
Mine pop fo sho!
I think I HAVE A WONKY SHOULDER TOOO! I mean I have a weaker one which is my left… but sometimes my right shoulder like um pops backwards and out of position when benching. Dis no bueno

ok, I know very little about the astrology, so I figured you’d be the one to ask.
If there is a mechanism of influence, shouldn’t the day of conception be more important than the day of birth? I mean, as far as what sign to assign a person? Why would the mechanism have no influence all through development, then suddenly stamp its imprint on you at the moment of birth?
I did a quick web search, but what little I found was pretty ridiculous…

I will try to be as brief as possible (LOFL). Astrology is NOT a matter of the stars somehow controlling us… they are not beaming down magnetic rays making us do things. Rather, Astrology is a Spiritual Science. I understand it in these terms… which are the only ones that make sense to me. The soul of the person is what it is. That individual’s karma, inclinations, proclivities, tendencies, lessons, challenges, etc. are inherrent to that individual soul. The stars at the moment of birth are simply a reflection of that soul and that soul’s lifepath for this lifetime. It is not the stars beaming down on US but rather US reflecting back up to the stars.
This is why I do not believe in the “cusp” of a sign except for at a true 0degrees. The soul is not going to be born under the wrong sky. That is impossible. The sky will always reflect that soul exactly as it should. The moment of birth is the moment that this happens.
Astrology has no desire to delve into when the soul enters the person… wether or not that is at the moment of conception is irrelevant to Astrology. It is the birth moment that owns the sky above.
Helpful?

Someone at the gym asked my why I was lifting, so I stole your go to. “To be superwoman, duh.” The look on his face was full of awesome. Much like this log
Yo K
Your leg curls are fine. In fact, Vince Gironda suggested they be done in the doggystyle position with knees and hands on the pad.
That’s how I do them. I feel the hams a lot more this way vs laying down.
Hammer Strength has even made a machine that mimics the Gironda ham curl.
Its the right way to do them
@Hallowed
Yes, thank you.

LAYDEEZ: yes, do the bench dip, w/ elbows BACK; that firms up the triceps nicely (if the elbows flare out to the side it works the chest more). No turkey gobble gobble, knowwhutumsayin?
It’s good for everyone really.

Dayum. Resolutioners be dumb. And soft. Have you noticed any traveling in packs? Cause I sure have and they’re annoying.
You should have bailed the bar and whacked the ‘genius’ in the head.
