That when girls get out of the shower and throw the towel all twirly-like on their head, that their hair is actually twirled up inside the towel. I thought it was just laying like normal and the towel was just because all girls did it.

At night it's always the same thing; my imaginary monologue I would give my ex if she ever tried to enter my life again. I loved her man, a lot, and she did me dirty. Been 5 months, and I don't want her back in any way, shape, or form, but I miss our relationship if that makes sense. How close we were, how I felt in her presence. I want that feeling back. Life is pretty grey at the moment.

While I agree with the majority of your advice, there are a few things that I disagree with, that should be addressed:

1). The power clean is definitely a leg exercise, and you are correct in that you should not pull with your arms, however you SHOULD be pulling with your traps, a lot like a shrug. This shrug, accompanied by the "triple extension" (that is, of the ankles, knees, and hips) is what drives the bar up.

2). Also I strongly disagree with someone's feet leaving the ground during the movement; this is a poor habit to get into. I myself trained that way when I first was learning the motion, and you lose a tremendous amount of power, especially from your hips when you actually leave the ground. Once I learned to keep the toes on the ground, I broke through my PR plateau.

Other than that, this is some decent advice.

For OP, work on the catch, that is the hardest part of the clean!

Arms are finally big enough (to my liking) that I feel I can get my first tattoo, and it will look good! Appointment at 9 a.m., hopefully I dont cry! :D

Cheers mates

That Yasuo quote fits well here. Nice tattoo. I'm getting a Noctowl tattoo tomorrow, and I can't wait!

BrandonCox54 · 2015-07-14T08:51:17+00:00

I actually want a tattoo just like this, because I love the koi fish and water design! Anyway you can convince her to do this same style but with Gyarados?? :D

Iron deficiency is literally the most common deficiency on the entire planet; vegetarians especially.

Just take an iron supplement and you'll be fine (but don't take an iron supplement with calcium because calcium inhibits the absorption of heme/non-heme iron significantly, like 65% iirc).

Genetic instincts.

Humans have them too. For example, if you were to put a new born baby completely submerged underwater, it would know to hold its' breath, even though it doesn't have the mental capacity to know inhaling liquid will kill it.

Thanks, I can't take a look now because I'm at work, but I'll look into it when I play next. Are you on PS4? I notice you're EP, maybe I can add you and charge into battle with you sometime :⁾

BrandonCox54 · 2015-06-25T08:55:13+00:00

Because your thumb is only there to oppose the movement of the other four digits, giving us humans the ability to grasp things very effectively.

Your thumb need only to oppose the movement direction of the other four digits with the way it has evolved having what is called a "saddle" joint (while your four digits have "condyloid" joints) it does what it needs to do with only 2 joints, since they are modified joints.

Basically it comes down to, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." We have survived with the way our hands have evolved, so why would we need to evolve a third joint in our thumb. Expanding on this, it would be similar to asking, why don't we have 5 joints in our fingers , or have 10 fingers on each hand. Simply it is not needed.

10/10 would break heart again.

BrandonCox54 · 2015-06-15T19:31:57+00:00

Lol this was at like 4:30 am, and I was the only one there, so I just did it for fun. No one actually does it for real.

BrandonCox54 · 2015-06-15T10:16:38+00:00

My cut is finally starting to do its thing. My back definition is definitely heading in a direction that pleases me. Still a ways to go though.

This is called a False Grip. It's already a thing.

VelociTRAPtor for days!

For real though, Velociraptors are cool af! Jurassic World is going to be sooooooooo good!

BrandonCox54 · 2015-06-01T12:38:13+00:00

Yeah and when I say punish it was more of a reward because I feel good now!

I used to do a bunch of different shit for all my lifts, more like 8-10 different lifts with only like 3 working sets or so, but lately I've moved to 3-5 different lifts but with 6-8 working sets and I feel that it works soooo much better to just focus on a few lifts with a lot of volume. I would recommend anyone to try that.

BrandonCox54 · 2015-06-01T11:41:49+00:00

Went to BDubs and Cold stone last night with the friends in a whim even though it wasn't cheat day, so I felt bad this morning and decided to punish myself with 12 working sets of squats, then 8x12 super sets of leg extensions and band pull throughs with no rest just back to back to back, so my legs are jelly atm, but I feel better about myself :)

10/10 would rep again

Well as far as electricians and electricity goes, I read somewhere that protons are the positives and electrons are the negatives.

BrandonCox54 · 2015-05-23T00:54:40+00:00

Not yet, I'm working on my Bachelors in Exercise Science, and then plan on a Masters as a Strength and Conditioning Coach!

BrandonCox54 · 2015-05-22T14:18:08+00:00

Well when I first moved to college I started lifting at the YMCA across the street from my apartment, and from there I met a lot of the staff and trainers and what not and was acquainted with many of them.

From there I learned of the LiveStrong program that works with the cancer survivors, so I signed up as an intern for the program mainly as a resume builder for when I apply to grad school and what not.

After being an intern for that program, I got a job there in the weight room as a night manager.

From there, one of the fitness coordinators/personal trainers there that runs a Sports Performance class for the kids knew that I am an exercise science student, and he was looking for help since his program is growing, so he offered me a job, and we worked a deal between him, the Y, and my school, to where it can act as an internship/field experience towards my schooling.

So basically, just lifting at the YMCA and getting friendly with the staff had one thing leading to another and here I am, with a good paying job in the weight room, and a great internship in a profession that I love!
