Ever Feel Like A Threadkiller? 49

I’ll put up my last known squat video.

is arthritis different than not having cartilage? I haven’t tried DL’ing in awhile. Sprinting hurt.

She wasn’t ugly per say but she was the first girl ever that got less attractive to me the more I drank. It was truly a bizarre experience.

No, the story stops at mouth to mouth contact. I haven’t stopped hearing about it since and I doubt I ever will.

hahahahahaahahahaha I am not close to 6’3" so I cannot relate, got to love friends to keep your “mistakes” alive and fresh every chance they get.[/quote]

Standing next to the wifey must make you feel 6’3 though.

Maybe. But JLO doesnt make you feel big, she is intimidating to say the least.

You make her sound like a bully. Is she mean to you DJ? :frowning:

Here’s a kind of good one… sigh

I hate squats but now I miss them.

Arthritis, to put it mildly from what I’ve seen in surgeries, is basically degeneration of the bone… It goes from looking silky smooth to looking like pebbles in concrete (nasty). Lack of cartilage is simply a loss of the tissue cushion in the joint, which makes the bones bear more pressure and can irritate the nerves that run along the outside of the bone, causing the pain.

Knee replacements are getting better and better, but my advice is not to be the first one to try out a new one. Let it float around the market a few years, and if its still a viable option, consider it. Stuff like that (and prosthetics) tend to show up and disappear really quickly without ever showing effectiveness.

Osteoarthritis is the degeneration of the joint starting with the cartilage and then resulting in wear on the bone once the cartilage is gone.

Side views look pretty good MIM, would like to see a back view to see if your knees are tracking out.

Only thing I can say is you go plenty low enough and lean forward a lot.

Have to think about why are you squating? What is the result I want?

HI!!!

Yup, and CT, Chicago/Rockford, PA and (soon) NY.

OMG, isn’t Rockford a shithole? I got my DUI there, dammit.

Hi Greenie!

Okay, dad is/was 5’10, mom is/was 5’8, I’m 5’6.75". IH is 5’10. I like looking at tall men because I like to wear tall shoes but due to a traumatic relationship I never dated anyone over 6’1. My friend is 5’9 and her husband who is the SHORT guy in his family is 6’8.

Kinda, yeah, but I honestly don’t know the town that well. I was born there but moved to Cali at age 2. Had a granddad and a step-grandma stay there, visited them a few times when we eventually moved to PA.

Grandpa passed away and I still write my step-grandma once in a while, but I haven’t been back in a long time.

So, did anyone listen to the Michael Jackson tape today? Turns out his doctor, in the 8 weeks before his death, ordered a total of 4 gallons worth of propofol. WHO THE FUCK NEEDS 4 FRICKIN’ GALLONS OF PROPOFOL!!!

I’m one final, one presentation, 3 clinicals, and a boards exam away from having my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Was lucky enough to sit in on quite a few surgeries on my first 2 clinicals so I could see what trauma the joint goes through. Helps a good deal in the rehab process.

Also from today: I love axle clean & press. And hate people in mercedes who don’t watch where they are driving and hit me. Friggin’ neck hurts now.

If we need to get super specific, I’m all for it, but I was just trying to help differentiate the two terms as far as the laypeople are concerned… I don’t want to start an “I know more than you” type arguement if that’s ok.

I saw that! Did you hear the recording of Michael that was on his doctors phone? He was clearly going through some medical haze. And…did you see the picture that was displayed at the trial? Pretty crazy trial so far.

Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!! And the amounts of drugs his doc ordered!!! WTF? Was he supplying a hospital or what?

I squat(ed) cause if you don’t then you get beat up around here :slight_smile:
honestly don’t even like squats much, but would love it if I could at least do single leg work.
