In the vein of not being flamed, I don’t think adults are automatically obligated to save children at the expense of their own lives.

Not flaming, let me know if you feel like I am and I will alter the language. People who claim to be men, have the inherent duty to help those in need just because that is what a man does. If someone looks at another human being period being attacked and doesn’t think I have to help, then they have lost the most basic aspect of what makes them a man. When there is fight worth fighting, men run towards it and cowards stand by hoping someone will do something.

I have another one. I freaking hate all these abbreviations. All the FML, FIFY, LOL, and all those others that I have to look up what they mean. I have been guilty of using them on occasion but it drives me nuts.

I don’t understand the hype around BB rows. I think I did them once in the last 2 years, and just felt like a retard doing them. My back grew just fine too.
Also, in my lifetime in gyms (including 1 year at a PLers gym and 1 year at a BBers gym) I have not even seen a dozen different people who squat to parallel or below. I believe the same must be true of TNation members here too who boast of 400+ squats. [/quote]
Gotta defend my fellow t-nationers (myself included) the overwhelming majority of squats on this site are of legit depth…you seem very jaded.
Though I will say, those “hey guys check out my form and/or depth on my squat” threads on the PL forum scream “hey guys give me a pat on the back for my depth / form” threads.

I sure hope so. I haven’t seen it IRL. I also don’t spend any time in the PL forum here.
I was referring to posters with no pics or vids to their name.

I gotta say for bbing squatting to death is overrated. Go to a death right before your lower back rounds and go to 3/4 lockout boom best quad stimulation ever

I didn’t imply everyone did rows with proper form, I agree most are sketchy at best. My point was you said most people are vague on the bent over aspect, and a yates row isn’t really all that bentover.
My point was just because someone is doing something different doesn’t mean it’s wrong, although I said it like an asshole

Plus with the addition of pads people hit HARDER, due to the decrease in fear of injury. Nobody in Rugby will routinely strike someone with their forehead at a full speed run. [/quote]
I played Rugby, and there are a couple big things. You mentioned the first one which is that the pads make people hit harder. The other one though which I found to be an even bigger deal was that Rugby is played with 15 per side as opposed to 11 per side.
Combined with Rugby’s offsides and lateral passing rules blablabla it ends up in a game where there is a lot of tackling, but all the action is kept in real close. You rarely have opportunities in a Rugby game to really work up to full speed and smash into someone. In football you have a lot more instances of tackles made at full sprints.
I love Rugby; just sayin that as “hardcore” as the no-pads thing is, there are some balancing factors that make it a little more bearable. Both sports are badass.[/quote]
Exactly
I am sure skydivers call airplane pilots pussies for have an engine and all. [/quote]
Agree’d I would also add that the nature of the two sports allow football players to work more to being big and fast while rugby players have to do a lot more conditioning work… Not to mention with the paychecks NFL players get it allows them to buy top of the line roids and hgh to get even bigger and faster than human limits allow…
I love hearing “take off the pads” LOL every football player has played without pads at one point or another, also the pads protect head, shoulders, and thighs… when a player gets tackled is he only getting hit in those places? of course not. And most of the time the player hitting is doing so when his pads on an unprotected area…[/quote]
I played both, granted my experience with rugby was a tryout and a couple practices before it got to be to much for my schedule (I never even got a grasp on the rules) but I didn’t get hit in rugby anywhere near as ferociously as I did in football. I mean the hits where hard, but the worst hits I ever took in football were when someone was able to use there helmet as a battering ram from my blindside. You don’t have a helmet in rugby, but to me at least that works in favor of softening the blows. Also it seems as though there are only a few Football positions that would translate well to rugby because of the conditioning, linebackers, runningbacks, tightends, big safeties and small D-ends. Which coincidentally are the most physically demanding positions to play.[/quote]
the worst hit I ever took was when my QB threw an interception and I got ear holed by a linebacker… cracked the side of my helmet…
As a QB I LOVE when lineman say “my quarterback”

Right.
And who’s going to raise and support my three kids once I’m gone because I’ve been ripped apart by a pack of wild African dogs?
