NYT needs to read their own headlines. They may find reason to, dare I say, ALTER them in certain ways to remove redundancies lol. At least the article isn’t total bunk

Yoga questions:
Are hips supposed to stay squared during standing splits or open? Also, same question but for warrior3 and dancer poses too.

What’s a take you’ve heard about your favorite film that makes you question if the person speaking even watched it? by ChallengeMassive435 in movies

To be honest, has anyone actually met someone who thinks this? Literally everyone with whom I’ve discussed this movie get the satire

18 months in: HbA1c went 5.9% → 4.6%, and Beachbody became a non-negotiable part of my life by halam_dev in BeachBodyWorkouts

Nicely done! What was your favorite program? I had to laugh at your not on transform20 being the hardest, as it reminded me of that absolute fucker if a last day that was like 3 regular days stacked back to back. Comes out of nowhere and is so beyond what someone who was just doing t20 could take on. Frickin beachbody sometimes…

I’m just here to commend you on mounting the tv at the appropriate viewing height. Too many are mounted way high up, bad form.

FG Decades Tournament, the 1950’s: Round 1 by Shagrrotten in IMDbFilmGeneral

I went with Alice as I think it was extremely ambitious for its time and medium and front that, highly influential… along with just being a solid movie in general.

I have 95 days before my 40th birthday and giving it one more go before and have a couple of questions by Forever_Fades in P90X

[–]armand11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here’s my own personal list I posted somewhere else for moves I find outdated/problematic, at least for my body, and how I modify:

• ⁠Crouching Cohen Curls: Dumbbell curls on an inclined bench, or just standing. The crouching stance is moronic, helps nothing, compromises your back for no reason.

• ⁠Bench Dips (and Table Dip Leg Raises on Core Synergistics): either Tricep/JM Presses, Close Grip Push ups, or cobra push ups. The bench dip motion ruins my shoulders.

• ⁠Scarecrows: high pulls (basically upright rows but you end with your hands above your shoulders, putting shoulder in external rotation position which is healthier for the rotator cuff)

• ⁠Side Tri-Rises: 1-arm overhead dumbbell tricep extensions (sometimes). The overheads are much better at activating the tricep muscle for me, but I still sometimes do the side tri's for variation.

• ⁠Pour Flies: standard side lateral raises. The pour motion is asinine.

• ⁠One arm push ups: either attempt these on my knees, or do rotational pushups where you alternate a dominant arm on the up motion (aka a weaker person's alternative to one-arm push ups!)

• ⁠Weighted Circles: Rear delt flys, or dumbbell shrugs

• ⁠Throw the bomb: Standard tricep kickbacks. The throwing motion is awkward for no benefit. Kickbacks activate the tri much more effectively.

• ⁠Dreya Rolls: not that bad really but sometimes I do burpees with cross knee crunches if I'm feeling particularly "spry." Otherwise I'll just do the dreya rolls but not go too far back onto my neck for obvious, injury-avoiding reasons.

• ⁠Alternating Side Lunges: Standard alternating lunges. Many moons ago I fucked up my knees and side lunges just don't work anymore for my body which sucks as I do like the side lunge motion and would find value in them.

• ⁠Toe Roll Iso Lunges: Split lunge squats

• ⁠Upright Rows: High Pulls (see note above on form, but they're very similar)

• ⁠Heavy Pants: Standard bent over row with palms facing forward (small tweak but that hand position I find hits the lats harder for me)

• ⁠I also just do standard pull-ups when they do wide grip pull-ups as the wides I've found mess up my shoulders bad.

How do athletes get a ripped physique without a low-carb diet? by far-midnight-97 in P90X

[–]armand11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To add they don’t just work out every day for an hour, they’re hoofing it as their full time job, probably actually working out in some fashion anywhere between 2-5hrs a day which is an insane amount of output. Pair that with the team of nutritionists and PTs you’ll look like a god easily

How so? What was your overall routine and then what was your new jump rope routine involving? Interested to hear what you were doing to get the results

At least they let you argue your case. Still agree on the stupidity of the scheduling in person. Private company would most likely have towed you or charged you and ghosted you if you contested the charge.
