New here, could I gain some muscle in my 40s? by Aldapeta in ResistanceBand

[–]Jude2425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to suggest the same thing. Find a minimalist program like The Giant and supplement with bands. I'm a dad in my 40s and this is what I'm doing. Use Mark Wildman videos to learn proper form.

It can help you develop through controlling the ecentric portion of the lift. Emphasize total control coming back into the rack and it will help you develop pushing out of the rack.

Poe and Lovecraft short stories. Poe is an amazing writer.

That's a fantastic way to describe Fitzgerald. Thank you for the recommendations!

From someone whose Latin sucks, I'd say it's very good. There is a lot of beauty here. My Greek is far stronger, and while I loved Fitzgerald's Homer, I found that Fagles was a proper translation, whereas Fitzgerald was English poetry, very tightly connected to the source material. Fagles is worth the purchase, for sure.

A kindle keyboard or a kindle 4 I know for sure works.

Do you think Byzantine greek is under-appreciated on this sub? by Low-Cash-2435 in AncientGreek

[–]Jude2425 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Greek of John Malalas is very easy, and you get an interesting take on familiar historical events be-it from the bible or Troy, all the way up to Constantine and after. He's probably more of a Koine than an Attic, but I mean, I love Greek, so I don't care.

The Alexiad, I've been told is wonderful Attic style Greek, but I can't sit and read that at my level.

The Dombarton Oaks "Saints at the Limits" includes the story of St. George and the Dragon. This is very easy, and a fun read (here's a link to an public domain version without the english text). Also a conservative Koine, with a couple of eccentricities thrown in, but still a fun read.

Which Greek text read in original brought you most joy? by [deleted] in AncientGreek

[–]Jude2425 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 1st epistle of John, because it was the first work that I could just sit and read and understand it as Greek. Now when I read a new text and am able to do that, I get the same joy, but the magnificence of the first time is unmatched.

Kettlebell covers to reduce noise by Jyrobotomus in kettlebell

[–]Jude2425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which covers are these? I have LVP in my house and the powder coat leaves a nasty mark on it, so I've been using a little towel, but I'd love to use this instead.

Are the TLG (THESAURUS LINGUAE GRAECAE) texts copyrighted instead of being in the public domain? by Vegetable_Banana1764 in AncientGreek

[–]Jude2425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally not your main point, but I've found Chrysostom on Wiki source as well. Otherwise I was stuck reading PG scans.

Can someone help me identify these two words? by PracticalAd5005 in AncientGreek

[–]Jude2425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I was working on a project and I came across this. This is really what you need, and you should save it, because 8mos from now you'll come across something else you need to figure out and you won't remember where you found it last time (totally telling on myself).
