    Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat (2015)

    I was at the gym today with a friend who is 70. He hammers out 45lb dumbbell preacher curls with no problem. He doesn't look his age. I've read that muscle mass can be gained into one's 90's. Further regarding age: I worry about tendon injuries far more than muscle injuries, and train...

    Former DC madam lawyer says phone logs could upend 2016 race

    Even better, add the word "over" after the word fucked, and leave the rest.

    Garland and the Republicans

    I am reading that more Republicans want to talk to Garland. Why? Ok. Talk about his view on gun ownership. And don't believe him if he claims he won't vote to strip 2nd amendment rights when they come before the SC, which they eventually will if he gets the nod. These GOP Senators are...

    In the old days this would have been resolved by pistols and 20 steps

    Levin has indicated that he would like to ask Trump how he would deal with the trade imbalances without imposing tariffs that would be like Smoot-Hawley, and the effects many believe it had during the Great Depression. I believe he is in agreement with Trump regarding immigration and the wall...

    Super Soft On Islamic Terror: Obama Says That ISIS ‘Is Not An Existential Threat To Us’

    My concern is biological weapons being launched against the US, possibly killing untold thousands, or even millions. I find that more concerning presently than anything else, including dirty bombs or chemical weapons. Is the term "existential" really important to the threat posed? Perhaps...

    In the old days this would have been resolved by pistols and 20 steps

    Levin is not a sell out, but everyone is entitled to their opinion for their own reasons. I don't agree with everything Mark sais, but he knows the constitution better than most, and I enjoy listening to how he ties it to events of our time, or how it is ignored. His hatred of the...

    In the old days this would have been resolved by pistols and 20 steps

    I can't find anything showing that Liz Mair is (or was) part of Cruz's campaign. Could you link me to an article? This is the closest thing I could find: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/23/cruz-condemns-trump-s-gutter-politics.html "Yet Cruz also relented that the ad itself...

    In the old days this would have been resolved by pistols and 20 steps

    According to Levin, the pac Make America Awesome released the pic of Trump's wife. Mark stated that they are an anti-Trump pac, not a pro Cruz pac (he claims they are not a big fan of Cruz, either). He also stated that it would be a federal crime for Cruz to have collaborated with the pac...

    Who is fooled by the media anymore?

    Junk mail is superb for that purpose, as well. I read once that some guy living in a northern state (might have been Montana) made sure he got enough junk mail, including catalogs, to keep his fireplace burning all winter long. He signed up for everything. I get a stack about a foot deep...

    RNC SAYS DELEGATES NOT BOUND TO PRIMARY VOTES

    The establishment doesn't want Cruz or Trump. If Rubio gets beaten today and stays in the race, there is no more evidence that the power brokers and king makers want a brokered convention (where perhaps they can drop Bush or Romney in). Cruz cannot beat trump with Rubio, and/or Kasich in the...

    Who is fooled by the media anymore?

    The speed at which news or other information can be obtained from the web is certainly a factor. My wife still likes to read the local paper in it's paper form. Not sure why (mostly coupons I think...those are the days we get...not all 7 days), but they offer incredible deals in an attempt to...

    Who is fooled by the media anymore?

    An excellent book by Thomas Sowell addresses this nicely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectuals_and_Society

    Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat (2015)

    There could be an advantage to this scenario, especially in the bench press safety spotter dept. You could ask a hot chick to spot you...a particularly interesting situation if you are on the decline bench...however, a serious distraction might require the assist, furthering the potential...

    Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat (2015)

    I was just telling a friend at the gym today (by the way, it's good to be back at it) that at my age, tendon injuries take forever to heal...like never!:wtf: I check those limits by starting all weight exercises with one, two, or three partials, increasing depth each rep until max acceptable...

    Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat (2015)

    I think I'm probably getting close to that point. I'm no longer able to top, or even match my PR's from a few years ago with one or two occasional exceptions. I think when I reach a point where mind over matter becomes matter over mind, I'll know it's time to back off. (Actually, I'm going...

    Gaining Muscle and Losing Fat (2015)

    If you are referring to strength and size, I found that changing my routine every few weeks was the key (at a later age). This included switching from high volume/low weight, low volume/heavy weight, high volume moderate to heavy weight, pyramiding of various styles, adding negatives, super...
