That's not evil.  That's called "prudent location planning".

 

There's a women's only good life in my city, right between a wedding dress shop and a cake shop. It's hysterical.

No one ever told you how to properly use pronouns, huh?

 

Try this: "He might have winked (was kind of far away), but he's a guy and I don't swing that way"

 

Thanks

Actually they works in a non-plural sense linguistically. It's also a good way of communicating without denoting assumed gender, although in this context using the he/him format would have been more appropriate.

Guess I should have used pink font...

Ouch.

 

Hard to imagine that happening unless you're trying a lift that's WAY above where you normally train, but I'm not a doctor, I don't play a doctor on TV, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Trying to decide if light jazz is better or worse than wistful cowboy, which seemed to be the theme the other morning at my gym.

This shit would make me rage.  You lil'bros better not ask me when I'm down the squat rack when I'm pumping this through my headphones, I still have curls to rage lift.

Kenny G is king of curls. Just look at his hair. It's positively inspirational.

Not really. For lifters really advanced, it takes a LONG time to completely recover, weeks sometimes. If they go into a meet and try to hit their theoretical max when their tendons and muscles are only 90% healed, this can happen, as they're already a bit compromised. Happened to Brandon Lilly a bit over a year ago. Their muscles are just so strong that their contractile strength has exceeded their ability to hold onto the bone, as tendons take much longer to develop than the muscle does, and they'll just rip off in this case, especially if not fully recovered and prepped for such a lift.

Well that makes sense.  Thanks for the education.

 

Certainly looked painful though.  Is that a career ending injury, or is it possible to have it repaired (surgically I assume?) and make a full recovery?

 

Pardon me if I don't show that video to my wife, she'll worry about that happening to me when I start Stronglifts.

I've seen that video before and I recently watched a video where a guy tears a tendon in his chest while benching. The pop gives me chills and makes me a little queasy.

I don't show them to my wife either. It's definitely possible to come back from, just very hard and takes a long ass time, and possibly never fully. I think Lilly is just starting to actually squat again with 135 or so after a year of recovery. I keep menitoning him as he's the only person I follow at all that's had one like this. You can find it on youtube, but he tears both quads and I believe both MCLs and an ACL or something along those lines. When the weight is that heavy, once one goes, the other try to take up the slack, then they are overloaded and go, and so on until the bar is on the ground or your spotters save the day.

Torn pec bruising is crazy looking. This guy attempted over 700. Think he might have made it and just tore in the process, not sure:

I cannot even attempt to watch the videos being linked. Just thinking about them is making me squirm. We watched the 30 for 30 that ESPN made about Bo Jackson and the parts about his hip about did me in.
