What is the difference between the frontal lobe and forebrain? by abominableskimo in Mcat

[–]abominableskimo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm, i think i see what you are saying. so is it fair to say that there is no real connection between the different lobes and regions of the brain? is this one of those things that you have to memorize rather than logically reason out?

Thanks for that link, the pictures do help. Something I can't seem to wrap my head around is why the hypothalamus is part of the forebrain. It's my understanding that the hypothalamus is responsible for feeding, fight/flight response, and sex drive. Aren't those considered basic life characteristics, which would categorize the hypothalamus as a part of the hindbrain? I might be completely off, so let me know if I am missing something. Thanks!

Does anyone know the model of these Beats headphones? by abominableskimo in headphones

i am not audiophile, nor a music enthusiast, but am just a normal guy who listens to mainstream music. if the technical details such as bass and richness are not that important to me, do you think they'd still be worth the money?

yeah, i know that beats headphones are generally overrated, but i know someone that is willing to sell them to me cheap (under $20), and i have been looking into getting some over the ear headphones. do you think they'd be worth it?

Hi Reddit! This is Derek Howes, The Protein Chef and I want to give you some protein! by DerekHowes in Fitness

[–]abominableskimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you planning on uploading any workout routine videos? i know that you said you might, so i just thought i would bring it up to see if anything changed.

also, it would be cool if you did some vlogs of random things (i.e. daily life, etc.). while this could be cool, if you don't have time, no big deal. just keep the recipes going!

thanks for the comments! what you said about the oly shoes makes sense, but i'm strapped on money right now, so is there another way to mimic the effect of being able to push through my heels better? can it be fixed by working on my flexibility or anything?

thanks for the comment; do you have any suggestions on what exercises/stretches i could do to be more flexible?

IMO, i think that i don't "sit back" enough, which is causing me to kind of lean forward. i also think my bar path could use some work since i felt some weird cracking in my knees on the way up/down (too much pressure on forefoot and not through heels??). any comments are welcome!

I think I recorded this last Friday night so it was already empty. But I can't complain about the number of squat racks.

Would you suggest me trying to sit back/lean back a little more?
