Squatting. Finished my warm up. Grab my last plate for my working sets. Sitting behind the weights is some big ass spider. I dont even know what it was but it looked nasty AF.
Try to get to it to kill it but it’s in a corner. I go to pull a plate out to get a better angle and it raises on its back legs. I think fuck that bullshit and I go away to squat.
Come back and the fucker is gone. Then I get big time heebee-geebies (particularly as I had 2 dark patches on my tshirt just under my arms). I was just waiting for that little fucker to appear on my arm mid squat.
I called it quits and went off and did some single leg work on the other side of the gym then got outta there.
Just for clarification the point I was going to make and didnt get into with the person in question is , that in most cases DB’s tend to lesson the range of motion at the bottom. Unless you go very wide with them than you run the risk of increasing torque on the shoulders.
Yeah I got what you were saying. I also don’t get this hard on for “increased ROM” and the dumbbell bench. It’s really quite bad for the shoulders if you go all the way down and you’re not using girly weights. If I want to specifically target my chest, I work the mid 2/3 ROM while executing the exercise in a much more controlled manner so I can limit the amount of weight I need to use.
Last night I was on City Island in the Bronx and was outside with a couple friends when the sky started lighting up blue and a deafening hum came over the water. We ran to the edge of the island and the entire skyline was blue and humming. A lady screeched up in an SUV and proclaimed it was a nuclear attack.
I confess that I genuinely, for a moment, felt like it was a supernatural occurrence.
I searched the news for it that night but there was only a smattering of pictures on social media. As of today there’s a HuffPost article about it. I feel like the Men in Black were here.
Con Edison officials took to Twitter to describe the incident as a “brief electrical fire” involving electrical transformers, which caused a “transmission dip in the area.”
Ooooookay, if you saw what we saw and heard that deafening hum, you’d be skeptical too.
Oh and we were much closer. We didn’t record when it happened but here’s a twitter picture from much closer that looks like what we were seeing. The entire skyline was blue.
