re: Calf mass advice

[quote]Right. I see most people bouncing a light weight around on the calf raise machine to nowhere near failure. Of course they don’t see results[/quote]
This is my #1 with calves. You have to slow down and actually contract the muscle.
Your achilles is so big and powerful, it takes a ton of...

re: Great songs musically ruined by singers or lyrics

I'm not sure how great the song is, but one of the more WTF moments that derails an otherwise solid song is Future 1:45 into King's Dead.

[quote]The thing I appreciate most about Springsteen's lyric is the attention to detail. He is so particular with his choice of words. He uses words like a painter uses paintbrushes.

re: Your favorite "little thing" in a video game

is is probably weird, but I like games where you can pet animals. In Far Cry 5, you can pet all friendly animals and in Cyberpunk, you can pet stray cats.
Like I said, it's probably weird, but I always feel compelled to stop and pet friendly animals....

The lesson here is the same one from current MCU movies.
Just having a good IP isn't a guarantee. The product itself has to be fun and engaging as a standalone. If it's not, the IP is as much a curse as a blessing. The upside, people pay attention to you. The downside, people build expectatio...

One of the central themes of the movie is the question about whether it's ok to fight on the terms of an evil enemy.
The cartels are violent, lawless and evil. Blunt's character wants to fight them.
As she learns about how we're fighting them, she realizes we are also doing violent and lawles...

To add to the above, a few other underrated or niche things on your general trip path.
Jerome, AZ. It's an old mining town turned art hub, so if you're into small town history, it's pretty cool. Right by Sedona.
Wupatki and Sunset Crater are between Flagstaff and Page and cool outdoor stuff....

[quote]I know I'll be in the minority here, but Yellowstone is essentially a drivable zoo. We only spent a day there and it was more than enough for us. Traffic was awful, crowds were bad, and it was very touristy. We left EARLY one morning and packed a cooler per the Travel Board (life saver). We h...
re: Grand Tetons/Yellowstone Early October Recommendations
Posted by Rep520 on 2/20/24 at 1:11 pm
A few general comments.
One day is a really small amount of time for Yellowstone, especially if you're coming from Jackson or Teton Village. Yellowstone is huge and unless you just want to see one and only one thing, just the drive times are gonna be pretty significant.
It depends on how much...

I doubt Eddie's ever coming back. He always had a smaller frame than guys like Thor and Shaw and carrying the necessary muscle and bulk was not easy for him. He seems to becontent retired and not stressing his health.
I'm a bit surprised Thor will compete, given that the end of his time in stro...
