Possibly, I didn’t really bother with the split vote on the map, I gave my state hunch and my range, which is 300-329.
I think you’re going to be pretty close to the mark overall!

I sure hope so, I’ll win about 800 dollars if so

Well I’m told we will all win big if Biden wins. Somehow, someway better days will be ahead of us under his brilliant leadership.
I’ll also be more likely to lose a lot more than $800, but I’m sure that sum will be spent in everyone’s best interest.
Fortunately I’ve recently invested in kettlebells, so I hope to weather whatever is ahead. If nothing else, they hold value well.

No chance. They’re low but they are nowhere near that low. I would say about 15% or high teens is my gut feeling. Slightly higher than 538 because I don’t think they count the poll bias enough.
Except there’s that whole virus thing messing with the polls, the voting booth, and everything else.
Certainly Trump’s chances are significantly lower than 2016 because Biden is nowhere near as disliked as HRC, and I believe a significant amount of “Trump fatigue” exists among independents and moderates.
What’s really frustrating to me personally is that he brought this on himself. He attacked the media non-stop. Ok, I tend to think that there is a left leaning bias in the media. But dude, if you build up enough enmity eventually they’re going to get fed up.
He’s got nobody to blame but himself, but he won’t do that because it is inconceivable to his ego that he might be at fault for anything.
Likewise. I’ve been doing Dan John’s 10000 challenge and it has been kicking my ass.
At least now the gym closures can be ameliorated somewhat.

Personally, I have “righteous” (pun intended) fatigue; no way I could vote for Trump in 2016, eagerly voting against the “righteous” in 2020.

I could see that. I don’t think that enough people nationwide share it but I certainly empathize with the sentiment. Woke-ese is bullshit.
That’s on my radar too but I’m learning double movements now. I’m trying to get to crisp sets of 5 for all main movements with my heaviest pair. Almost there but double 70s are heavier than they sound!
I predict I’ll get hammered at the bar on election night. With any luck I won’t be struck down by any virus.

The bars are shut here. In Ireland for God’s sake!
I’ve the next day off, so I’ll be watching it live…before the inevitable court battles start.

He attacks everyone non stop. He cannot be criticized by anyone and since the media is going to report on things he just can’t handle it. He has to have 24/7 praise showered on him. That’s why he hasn’t had concern at his rallies. He wants to talk and he wants people to chant stuff and wants that love. He’s cool with you as long as you’re kissing the ring all the time. The moment you aren’t he’s done.
He’s attacked the first amendment repeatedly. I mean honestly when I watch something like the 60 minutes interview you just almost feel sorry. What kind of adult throws a hissy fit at someone who quotes his own words and then storms off like a 6 year old being told to shut the cartoon off?
I just don’t see the appeal in it at all. At this point you almost feel sad in the sense of what is wrong with this person?

70’s are no joke. I foolishly thought because I could handle 70 lb DB’s on a lot that it would be the same thing. Hell no kicked my ass for a long time as I adjusted to using KB’s.

My 70lb bell is serving as a very humbling tool.
Boy am I glad I opted for it rather than the 90 pounder .

Yep. Those that diss the KB (SS anyone?) have no idea.

I have a single 88 and I’m a long way away from needing a second. It’s the perfect weight for swings though.
Double 70s are like having a set of giant steel titties when they are in in the rack. I’m learning new ways to breathe and stay tight. Really digging it, especially the snatch.
I predict I’ll needlessly buy a second 88 in a severely impaired state on election night.

Hannity will still be happy with/full of himself and wallowing (hah) in his millions no matter who wins.
Maddow will be inconsolable and crying hysterically if the US goes Orange again.
The choice is obvious…

A travesty of truly Biblical proportions. Inconceivable!
Oh my Lord so true. Good luck!
Hah! I remember the same thing. Swings not so bad, but the other moves…
100% mistake. KB is an awesome and evil tool.

Did you bet 1 range or 2?
The only thing I don’t like with KBs are the cleans and snatches. Too much of an Olympic lifting coach in me. I will say though, that the front rack squat and carry is always much much harder than the weight would indicate when you use bells. Pressure is totally different. I think it’s very similar to a strongman log.
“We live in a country where people will lie to their accountant, they’ll lie to their doctor, they’ll lie to their priest,” says Cahaly. “And we’re supposed to believe they shed all of that when they get on the telephone with a stranger?”
Very true.
