I’ve spent over 12 hours in the past 2 weeks “error coding” poorly written essays for Lowenstein’s project, and I have come up with two general conclusions:

So comma use is bad. People just, don’t understand what a complete, sentence is…

I enjoy a well-placed comma

I just read the paper in Christopher Walken’s voice and call it good.

I second the proper use of an Oxford comma, and reading sentences in the voice of Christopher Walken.

Valid academic inquiry.

I confess that I’ve lost 10 pounds in the last week, involuntarily. Went from 185 to 175.

I’m convinced that turning on the heat in your car is a somewhat decent way to get yourself warmed up while driving to the gym. Kind of. When I first started trying it I didn’t really see a difference, but I guess that was because I didn’t crank the heat up enough. Last couple of times I did it, I cranked the heat up till the point where I sweating a bit. Felt decent when I arrived to the gym, well concerning easing into the main stuff.

Jay Cutler never warmed-up because he lived in Las Vegas and he was already warm.

Lions don’t warm up either.

I finally got off my ass and educated myself on RPE scale in regards to lifting and implementation. Now on paper it looks good but to me it’s not the golden goose some make it out to be.

That example isn’t far from the mark.

Off-topic fun little fact: in Italian, the use of Oxford comma isn’t a thing. It’s formally wrong. I have had this corrected in so many essays in high school. “But, but they do it all the time in English and it makes sense” — “it’s wrong.”

Which makes no sense because it would work just as well as Italian as it does in English, as the concept is the same. So yeah, here’s a feature that English has and Italian doesn’t.

Still, I didn’t stop using it in my essays because that’s the way I would instinctively end up writing and eventually my teacher just accepted that I was right morally and stopped correcting me. Lol

I’m sure you’ve heard practically the same thing your whole life. :smiling_face:

I mean if I HAD to suggest a specific way to train, concerning warm ups, I’d rather go with the TRX guy’s methods than the lion training thread’s philosophy on warming up lol

I love that despite the effort he went through to get people.into his machine, we don’t even remember it’s actual name and just call it TRX

There has to be a way to bring those together.

Like a TRX/Lions Conjugate template or something.
