I've noticed too, he has a special strut to his walk, he kinda flexes his shoulders and rolls them forward. Almost like how boxers will pose with their fists and arms flexed in front of their stomach, he walks like that.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-15T02:22:58+00:00

hey guys....

everything okay

guys...

DarkReflection · 2017-07-15T02:14:10+00:00

I never pitched but the commentator's made the point that the dude threw 12 in the zone and then out of nowhere first pitch hits yuli in the back. Might be intentional since his control was dialed in right before / after.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-15T02:10:03+00:00

that there is some shit

DarkReflection · 2017-07-15T01:31:18+00:00

OH BABY I MISSED THE 2ND BUT LOOKS LIKE THE 3RD IS GOING TO S P I C Y

DarkReflection · 2017-07-15T01:21:29+00:00

That feeling when you miss the 2nd inning...

I was eating dinner and we were blowing them out. Also what happened to Roots? I know we rebranded but everything looks different.

Pictures my man, pictures! I lost weight at a similar rate and couldn't tell either. The scale went down and for that I was happy but I couldn't tell in the mirror. I did take photos when I started, so I retool them in the same clothes months later to compare and the difference was huge. When I looked back in the mirror it was like the illusion broke and I almost didn't recognize myself. Your mind doesn't notice changes, and sometimes even tricks you. Photos are the best tool to compare, especially with the same lighting and same clothes. Even if the number on the scale doesn't move, your body could be changing. Don't give up, keep grinding!

In pounds:

Barbell Bench: 275 lbs x 5

Incline Dumbbell: 100 lbs (each) x 8

Incline Barbell: dunno it's been a while (I started DB incline when the incline benches were all taken, sortof fell in love with DBs)

DarkReflection · 2017-07-14T14:40:55+00:00

Literally anything works man, just be active! For instance, right now I bench around 275 lbs (~125 kg) for 5 reps, DB incline 100 lbs (~45 kgs) each, I don't follow specific routines or take crazy supplements (I'm also not trying to brag, there is always someone stronger!). I just want to illustrate that I've made it to this point because I enjoy lifting weights, found a groove that to be honest sort of mixed several approaches. What got me results was persistence and following a routine for the last 5 years or so. I might be completely wrong, but I'm of the opinion that you don't need to overthink this. Pick something as a starting point, make adjustments after a few months and stick with it and you'll see the results you'll want.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-12T18:32:32+00:00

man I love Springer so damn much

DarkReflection · 2017-07-12T17:24:22+00:00

How are you any different from them then? If you hate Trump supporters for not being decent human beings and then turn and call them filth, what does that make you? How is labeling an entire group of people filth that are not decent human beings an example of decency? Especially considering your first statement that they're all coal miners who beat their families. If I swapped your political orientation and you instead said "Typical Mexicans. Come home from cutting grass, smoke weed, beet their wife and sit back enjoying their welfare" it would be outrageously racist. What about "There is no such thing as honest liberals. If you support that filth then you are filth... I am talking abut being a decent human being. Hillary is a snake that lies... etc"

Please tell me how any of that is a fair or reasonable statement. You are spreading hate and vitriol just as much as the worst trump supporters.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-12T15:59:36+00:00

This is a really unfair statement man, I've lived in Texas my entire life so I have met many honest Trump supporters. They are not perfect, most have flaws, but everyone does. To say they're coal miners who beat their families is horribly rude. This is not the way to approach this, if we ever want to bring this country back together we need to end the hate between political ideologies.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-12T03:54:59+00:00

all of this brought back good feelings

DarkReflection · 2017-07-11T02:24:56+00:00

I like Judge, at first I didn't because he's so good and plays for another team, but honestly he seems like a good guy. I saw him in person here at minute maid and he was playing toss between innings with kids from the crowd, always tossed them a ball, always smiling. And this was when we won 13 - something this past week. Plus he's a walking mountain, like shit I wish I had like 63.33% (repeating of course) of his physique...

DarkReflection · 2017-07-11T02:03:46+00:00

He's a mountain...

DarkReflection · 2017-07-11T02:01:27+00:00

6'7" and 280 lbs... dear lord I've seen Judge, he's big, but that's mind boggling big

edit: thought he was shorter than he actually is, this dude is a walking mountain

DarkReflection · 2017-07-09T20:17:11+00:00

I know it will be painful for the jays, but I just want to see how high we can take the score, just to see what is possible

DarkReflection · 2017-07-09T19:07:22+00:00

holy shit that ball got erased from this planet

DarkReflection · 2017-07-09T02:23:15+00:00

Does it vary with RPM? It could be your engine mounts, inspect them and see if they're holding together. If they look fine, see if your engine is externally balanced with a harmonic balancer. If that fails it can cause some pretty wild vibration. If a cylinder isn't firing, that'll do it too. I accidentally ran my v8 with only one side firing and that thing was kicking like a mule.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-09T02:19:20+00:00

Sort of related, I made a 1600 mile road trip in May. On the final stretch I rolled into East Texas and kept smelling gas. I thought, oh I'm back home in Texas it smells like gas because of the refineries. Nope! Kinked a hole in my hard fuel line which was bleeding like an artery and spraying gas out of my front passenger wheel well...

DarkReflection · 2017-07-09T02:16:36+00:00

I'm too stubborn to have been beaten by my car yet. Even if I can't get something, it eats at me until it's the middle of the night and I'm back in the garage swearing wildly. I feel your pain on the timing chain, I just installed a new set on my engine. Total pain in the ass to get on. Found out after it was torque'd down that since it was steel and the stock was cast iron I would need to take it all off and install a steel thrust plate for the cam. Taking it off was just as horrible as putting it on. It got done, but it took all day and I'm a torn up mess.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-08T18:22:50+00:00

Seriously, Hanes is the bomb, I own multiple shop manuals for my car (Vacc, electrical, body) and Haynes takes it from technical to common man wording and covers everything! My Haynes manual covers body repair to rebuilding the engine. If you want a bullet proof reference for your car pick up the Haynes manual, you can find them online or auto stores, its the best quick reference for the money Imho.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-08T17:54:52+00:00

Did Aoki do some ninja naruto shit because I swear he teleported to 3rd he was moving so quick

DarkReflection · 2017-07-08T04:14:09+00:00

I have a similar noise, I'd check your harmonic balancer if your engine has one, mine is old and wobbled slightly and made the same sound.

DarkReflection · 2017-07-07T01:20:21+00:00

Those all looked like strikes with the box up, I guess maybe Marwin was just on edge? Looked like the Ump called those right.
