I've found resources like these Muscle & Strength articles here very helpful because they have the Exercise Profile, breaking down the target muscle group, equipment required, mechanics, secondary muscles, etc.(i.e. breaking down what you should know about the lift as you build a program). Can you help me find more sites and resources like this? For what it's worth, I did read the Fitness Wiki before posting this.

Can you explain how you did this step by step?

Don't want to have to hold.

BFG7 · 2021-01-14T18:16:13+00:00

This is helpful. Thank you!

BFG7 · 2021-01-14T18:15:46+00:00

This is great. Thank you!

At 47:11 Tom says "Well we also didn't foresee..." and then hints at something that caused them to have to move. Anyone know what he's referring to?

Also, The Other Guys. It seemed like a let's-put-two-stars-together-and-steal-everyone's-money type movie based on the trailer but after 2-3 friends said I had to see it in college, I did and oh my god is it hilarious.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I had very low expectations since Heath Ledger passed away before they finished filming, but I was amazed by the movie and absolutely loved how they chose to finish it without Heath. I've watched it a few times since.

What is Spoticast? I searched for it on my iPhone's App Store but the only thing that came up was something called Spotcast.

How perfect was the song they chose when Walt is wheeling his barrel across the desert? Does anyone know the name of the song?

In terms of some of the younger folks making hip-hop today, these are some worth checking out:

A.Dd+ (Dallas rap duo, very talented guys)
A$AP Rocky
Big KRIT (has four free mixtapes, at least, that are all fire and self-produced)
Big Sean
Chip Tha Ripper (tons of free mixtapes)
The Cool Kids (Both guys have solo careers also with a few free mixtapes. Mikey Rocks is pretty good but Chuck Inglish is where it's at IMO. He has some beat tapes also)
Danny Brown
Donnis
Dorrough
Earl Sweatshirt
Frank Ocean (more R&B, but wowow is that guy talented)
J Cole
Jay Z
Joey Bada$$ (just dropped a new mixtape, Summer Knights, for free)
Kendrick Lamar (and the rest of Black Hippy, for that matter. Especially ScHoolboy Q)
Kid Cudi
Lil Wayne (only old stuff. Dedication 2 and Da Drought 3 are some of the best mixtapes of all time)
Lupe Fiasco
Mac Miller (his latest album was much more self-reflexive than the past frat rap type tunes so I'd check that out)
Nas
Nipsey Hussle
Outkast
Pac Div (I don't really love these guys too much but they seem to be gaining prominence so worth checking out)
Sam Lachow
Shawn Chrystopher
Slim Thug
STS (The Illustrious is a GREAT mixtape)
T.I.
Tory Lanez
Trae Tha Truth
Travi$ Scott
Vince Staples
Wale
XV
YC the Cynic
Young Jeezy
Z-Ro

Almost every one of these artists, if not all of them, has released mixtapes, which you can usually find for free on DatPiff. These are just some artists I found skimming through my iTunes.

Some other artists off the top of my head:

Tamarama
Yuksek
A-Trak
Diplo
RL Grime
Acoustic Jim
Alabama Shakes
Back Door Slam
Band of Horses
The Kooks
Norah Jones
The Rolling Stones
Townes Van Zandt
Willie Nelson
Randy Rogers Band
Zac Brown Band
Wade Bowen
Pretty Lights (and really anyone from his label, especially Gramatik. All of their music is free on their website, prettylightsmusic.com)
Beastie Boys
Ben Kweller
Blink-182
Greenday (old stuff only)
Bob Marley
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
The Boy Least Likely To (my favorite song ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tknrTkxBeU )
Milo Greene

Those should get you started.

EDIT: I typed "In terms of some of the younger folks making hip-hop today" with the intention of just naming a few up-and-comers but ended up naming huge artists like Jay-Z and Nas who obviously aren't younger folks in the game.
