Yeah, I’m a bio major, 1 semester of general and one of organic chem, which is what I’m likely to fall asleep during tomorrow. We’ll see about the grade, I just barely passed general chemistry, but organic is supposed to be easier.

Well, I enjoy the labs as well, but that might also be due to the fact that my lab partner is hot and finished an apprenticeship (Swiss school system is weird, basically at 16 you can work, at a reduced salary, 3-4 days a week and go to school the remaining 1-2 days, and after 3-4 years you take final exams, after which you are qualified to work in that position full time for full pay) as a lab assistant, so I can go home much earlier than other students struggling with the experiments.
dips are good, but can be hard on the shoulders for some…
I actually found that standing facing backward at the assisted machine and pushing down on the thing seat has the same affect with less pull on my shoulders…

Any one have a link to a good article on dips? I’m having trouble with them, and think knowing more about them would help. Someone google that for me?
We had the official break up talk last night. It’s disconcerting to see him cry. Do you guys cry?[/quote]
PCH…Yeah, there are times to cry. In front of your soon-to-be-ex significant other is not the right time. somewhere inside of you, there is a part that just lost respect for him. even if you don’t agree with me, it is still there.

Oh, it’s not like he was weeping. He’s the stereotypical stoic guy, and barely says whole sentences or expresses emotions. It was two not really tears, but it helped to see that even though none of the words he was saying expressed emotions he actually did feel them. It’s not the tears that have caused me to lose respect, it’s his outward lack of emotion.
My type coincides with OG’s. I’ve just learned that the extreme of it is not for me. How can one not be able to discuss how they feel? If I asked him to build me an airplane from scratch he’d have no problem, I ask him to tell me how he feels and he’s retarded.
^'kay…but to ask a man how he feels is not a viable option. Men, especially left brained, mechanical, logical types don’t know the answer to 'how does that make you feel.
I have been in groups, answering questions on quizzes, and every question that ends with ‘how does that make you feel?’ is left blank by every man in the group.
look, I don’t know the guy, and am not trying to defend him by any means, just trying to help you understand that just like you ask your teenage daughter why she did something that was wrong, and she just shrugs her shoulders and says ‘I don’t know’…It is the same thing when you ask a Man how that made him feel.
I’d apologize about the hijack…but I’m not sure you can hijack a thread about threadkilling!

Well, I’ve never actually tried them under the assumption that they were really hard, but I need something to as my vertical BW push. I tried the other day, and my body didn’t even understand what I wanted it to do. Ideally I want BW, but i’m looking for things to try to see what works. I also have to find a handstand pushup progression. Ugh I am so weak.

I post in this thread because it’s hijack proof!
So, i understand that he has a hard time expressing emotions, which is why I try to cleary tell him how I feel and what thought process lead me to feel that way. I also understand that if I’m a crying, screaming mess, his only goal will be to make it stop. So I usually present my feelngs and give him time. I told him what was wrong and what I thought needed to be fixed last Friday, so he had plenty of time to think about it. I didn’t put him on the spot, but if after almost a week he can’t come to conclusions or even tell me what’s going on, I can’t wait forever. If I can take emotions and put them into a science based paradigm for him, he should be able to do the same for me, or at least say something. I’ve had two years of sit quietly, I can’t deal with it anymore. Either he doesn’t care enough to try, or he can’t; neither option is compatible with me emotional well being.
Sorry, I’m dwelling and upset. It’s how break ups go.
