Phytomancer Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 It posted my post twice, so here goes the joke. What's the difference between stalkers and behavioral scientist? Stalkers are obsessed with you. They watch you from a secret place. Behavioral scientists are obsessed with you. They watch you from a secret place, take notes, compare you with other people they watch, and publish what they see.

Completely agree with this. There are decisions I made that I regretted at various points in my life - but honestly it's hard for me to say right now that I would change much of what I've done in the past, because I'm actually really happy with the present, and would not trade it for anything. 1 "Restlessness is discontent - and discontent is the first necessity of progress.

Endor Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I realised yesterday whilst setting a pr for a clean that I think I get a burst of adrenalin and/or testosterone from a primal roar. I think this helped me pr and I've noticed other men do it but not really the ladies. Is this the testosterone advantage I've heard about men having? It's not something I usually do but I had an urge after feeling i might bust through a long standing plateau (I finally did) and I'm wondering if it could urge me on more regularly.

As s man, does expressing aggression help you pr ?I have actually been spoken to a few times about grunting/yelling at myself while I am lifting something heavy. Squats, Deadlifts, Bench ect. Also get yelled at for dropping weights. I continue to do both though cause it lets me get heavier weight.

161803398874989 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well, I don't full on roar, since I'm more of a "close my eyes, focus my mind, open eyes, lift the weight"-kind of guy.

Flex Luthor Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I yell. Very loudly. Before I lift though. While I'm lifting I take a deep breath and hold it through the entire rep.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 But soon... you can do this with them! Please fix his squat form. His knees are caving and back is rounding, he's gonna get hurt. I'd start with widening his feet a bit with toes a bit less out and cueing pushing the knees out more. Have you looked into the effects of weight lifting as children? I'm not an expert, and not sure at what weight you need to worry about it, or try to tell you how to raise your kids, I just remember in middle school we were told we should not lift heavy as it can effect our growth.

bigm141414 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Been relatively debunked I believe. Yup. A little bit more about this because it came across my feeds. From Bob Takano, legendary weightlifting coach 3) Weightlifting will stunt your growth: This one never seems to go away. It dates back to the days when folks in the P.E. and coaching orthodoxy did whatever they could to discourage athletes from training with weights. In those days the only barbells to be found on a high school campus were in the corrective P.E. room (I guess it was OK for kids in need of corrective P.E. to stunt their growth).Since a number of very good weightlifters were shorter than average, people made up this myth and ran with it. It fails to explain why Olympic gold medalist Salimi of Iran is 6’4â€.Anyway the logic used for this argument could be equally applied to jockeys. Since all jockeys are short and ride horses all the time, then riding horses will stunt your growth.What really matters is that the IWF recognizes 8 men’s bodyweight classes and 7 women’s bodyweight classes in order to accommodate the range of heights of the participants. If the sport universally hindered growth only one weight class would be necessary for each gender.I think that statistics might show that there is a much smaller height range for world class female gymnasts. This sport actually does inhibit growth because of its dietary practices. "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
Artinum Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I suspect weightlifting might stunt your growth if you never put the weights down again!

161803398874989 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Last time I got one, it was right after my warmup sets for RDL. Had to spend 3 minutes nursing it before I got to pull my working sets. Needless to say, the first went kinda shite. The rest was good though, and I didn't get any more nosebleeds.

Thrillho Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Important dude question: In the last year, my hair has started to thin alarmingly on top. This year I'm genuinely worried about sunburn and stuff up there, for the first time ever. SO... since I know that it's pretty much just on top, I know that it's going to be the Ringworld of hair when it really starts to go. So I guess the question is: when do you just say "Bleep it!" and start Bic-ing? Does anyone have any tips for going glossy? And in that spirit: The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
BarefootDawsy Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I started shaving my head within a year of noticing my bald spot and never looked back. I use a Wahl Baldfader electric razor which has lasted me 10 years now. It shaves really short, so I don't bother with a blade. If you want to do a full shave on your own, have a look at the Headblade. It's a razor specially designed for shaving heads, and it's great. Above all though, own your shaved head and wear it proudly. I honestly think most women find them more attractive than a head of hair anyways BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
Thrillho Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 My wife might go for it. She has a thing for Mike Holmes (admittedly more of a 'severe buzzcut' than anything) and her cousin's husband, who has been Bic-bald since he started to thin... at age 19. I have nothing against going bald, and owning it. I'm also really starting to grey, but it's MOSTLY in my beard, so I might be able to rock that young-face grey-beard bald-head look. Fun fact from said cousin: when someone asks you "Oh, I love your son's hair! What color is his father's hair?" there's a certain joy to be had from saying "I don't know!"
