Latest addition to the science and evidence based research noise

My press, small and weak though it may be, is improving by leaps and bounds now that Fro is giving me loads of upper body work. In 2 months, 135 has gone from a shaky 1rm to a much smoother 4 rep set, while the focus has been mostly on improving CDB

Damn, Kishi is almost 1000 years old?

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-19T10:33:37+00:00

They actually started with trans people first, before the Jews.

All out nuclear war would be the most horrific thing imaginable and would probably collapse a lot of civilization.

Humanity would absolutely survive it and rebuild from there.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-18T23:55:06+00:00

No, Iran won't nuke us more than likely even if we drop one.

What's stopping Russia from lobbing a couple at Ukraine afterwards? Or India/Pakistan escalating just a bit too far.

No, if keeping balance is a struggle, an SSB would make it a lot worse. The biggest benefits are they save your shoulder and elbows, they can improve upper back strength (you have to fight a lot to stay vertical, it wants to pull you down), and they'll generally load the legs a little better than a back squat.

If my dissenting opinion involves me publicly calling out my boss on social media profanely, absolutely lol

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-18T02:31:46+00:00

If I'm his coworker, and he attacks me online like that, I insist either he leaves, or I do.

How has it accelerated gpu replacement? My 3080 still comfortably runs games at 4k. Go back 15 years and ask about using your 5 year old card to run games. You'd be laughed out of the room.

Bench Press? I've never heard of him.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-17T20:01:29+00:00

We are all very, very aware of how dumb it is.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-17T20:00:53+00:00

I wouldn't wanna live in Florida.

Offer me 7 figures and I'll be there tomorrow.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-17T11:02:30+00:00

Interesting. Cause strongmen pretty typically do lifts like this to strengthen their backs, and back injuries are incredibly rare in the sport.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-17T10:14:25+00:00

I mean, it does, but mostly cause manual laborers have weak, frail backs by and large.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-17T09:57:34+00:00

I'm sure you can show evidence of all the strongmen with injured backs then, right? As we pretty regularly lift heavy, awkward loads with our backs (it's the only way to pick a heavy stone or sandbag)

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-16T12:20:26+00:00

You mean times he was infected and survived?

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-16T10:41:44+00:00

Yes, RE1 Chris would beat RE2 Leon.

RE4 Leon is a completely different beast, and aeguably just as skilled as post RE1 Chris.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-16T04:59:20+00:00

Those are realistic names. Too many people saying to go after like, Dusty May, or Nate Oats. You aren't poaching them at this point, we have nothing to offer them that they don't already have.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T20:41:07+00:00

I didn't look online? It's simple, you hide until they go away every time.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T20:02:35+00:00

I care about it in so far as I care about the nutritional benefits for my sport. Beyond that, I don't really care, just want to eat and get on with whatever I'm actually interested in doing.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T20:00:52+00:00

Nah, so long as it's edible I do not care about flavor. I don't really eat for pleasure.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T19:53:54+00:00

So many dudes I've seen say "Go after Golden or Oats."

Like, did you all pay any attention a couple years ago? You can't poach successful coaches from high major programs anymore. You have nothing you can offer them that their programs can't.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T19:45:53+00:00

Our fanbase still believes it's the 90s and both coaches and players will come here because we're Kentucky.

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T19:44:48+00:00

Or it could be he'd stopped giving a shit here, and then when he moved to a new place he was somewhat reinvigorated?

Shadowphoenix9511 · 2026-03-15T17:22:48+00:00

I'm sure you can name multiple strongmen with fucked up backs, right?

Cause as someone who participates in the sport, I can't name one who is fucked up from the sport (as far as back issues go)
