This thread depresses the out of me. I used to think there were adults in CFC.

I don't see what business the government has promoting certain lifestyles over others if they're all equally legal. A "traditional" family deserves no advantages over any other household. So your moral decrepitude is cool with me.

Why don't you try a beginner lifting program like Stronglifts or Starting Strength or Wendler's 5/3/1 before trying something fancy. You did just learn the lifts. Just because you weren't tired doesn't mean you didn't do good work. Besides, hitting your max on a workout should be hard. If it...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=297JRRmv1Ag Why can't he deadlift more? He can squat so much more than he can deadlift - that's not that odd for a weightlifter, but this is squatting a LOT more than he can deadlift.

Wow, that was good depth too. His legs are enormous, it looked like he has to walk around his legs.

You shouldn't like the idea of soreness. You can get benefits without being sore. Being sore isn't bad, but soreness lasting longer than a day is bad - then you went too far. As for chocolate milk, the reason is that it is a great protein source (milk has excellent biological value and good...

It's pretty crazy timing coming on the same day that North Carolina, an important swing state, voted for an amendment to block gay marriage AND civil unions. It seems to be a move to galvanize youth and his base that seems a bit complacent. I'm happy with any public support of this super easy...

Mise, I'd do them on separate days if you can, but if you're consistently too sore to swim from weights the day before, do the swimming before the weights on the days you do both.

Really? Was there also anything that noted what type of exercise caused the most inflammation? And was soreness from inflammation? I always assumed that was from lactic acid. Generally heavier and heavier, although both forms are progressive and will lead to strength gains. There are a lot of...

It is correct that when you do high reps at a low weight you do not recruit all your muscle fibers. However, when you test your muscle's glycogen load that much, it recognizes a need to develop more endurance and converts fast twitch fibers to slow twitch ones. Although I remember reading that...

Am I the only one who thinks this is stupid? That kind of endurance training for your arms does not make you stronger. It will just make them more endurant and cause your body to replace the fast twitch with slow twitch and could make you weaker. There is no reason to be doing reps that high...

So I think the use of man as a term for non gendered words is useful and worth keeping. I also am fine with using they for a non gendered pronoun, and the ambiguity from not knowing if it's singular or plural can be deduced from context.

The origin of "man" was not gendered. "Man" was just from "human," and it just implied people. That's why it is used as a suffix for types of people, because it did not have an implication of gender. When a gender had to be specified, the feminine "wo" was added for females, and "were" for...

Yeah, well his opinion is stupid and bigoted, and it was called as such.

There have been multiple studies showing how attitudes of people change from before they become a part of these institutions to after, where these institutions are usually banks or law school. Almost everyone's intention is not to work for a bank for long, or to go into law for environmental...
