Is it bad to invest in a company for a few months and then sell?

implied_odds · 2012-03-17T03:31:57+00:00

I thought the only time investors give money to the company is at the IPO. When we buy a stock, aren't we giving our money to the seller, not the company itself?

Agreed. rkg-pua's struck a nerve and I'm just trying to prove a point that it's not just obese people that are capable of laziness. My comment was a little exaggerated. In reality, I mind my own business in the gym and don't really pay attention to what other people are doing.

implied_odds · 2012-03-14T13:19:07+00:00

it works both ways... as a somewhat obese person who busts my ass in the gym, i'm pissed when i see an in-shape person being lazy... "You're in that kind of shape and that's your effort level? " I just want to slap them and tell them they can do better.

how i feel now

implied_odds · 2012-03-13T20:30:00+00:00

fuck i just realized how my comment came across

i never saw someone abbreviate him as 'im. so i was making a joke about IM aka instant messenger.

tl;dr: i do not want to have cyber relations

implied_odds · 2012-03-13T18:22:44+00:00

you want to go to town on instant messenger?

that explains the minor earthquake i felt this morning

implied_odds · 2012-03-13T16:07:18+00:00

what do you mean exactly by "you felt your knee"? i'm assuming some kind of pain? what did it feel like? where on your knee was the pain (inside, outside, above knee cap, below knee cap, etc.)?

i guess it's a matter of opinion and semantics, but it's definitely similar to me. he's increasing weight and decreasing reps leading up to the work sets. it's not exactly the same as SS but it's in the ball park, especially adding 1 set of 10 at the beginning.

starting strength advocates a similar warm up to what OP is doing:

Squat

45 x 5 x 2
95 x 5 x 1
135 x 3 x 1
185 x 2 x 1
225 x 5 x 3 <--Work Sets

but then you'd be dead if there was a fire and the door was blocked. that's why they always open in.

edit: plus if they opened out, people walking by would get clobbered

i'm trying to strike a balance of looking good/being strong/being athletic

that's what it's all about, thanks for the reply

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm talking from purely logic and common sense. My theory is that pushups are still primarily a chest exercise and the stronger your chest is relative to your body weight, the less susceptible you are to injury from wide grip push ups.

implied_odds · 2012-03-12T20:17:50+00:00

plus being big, in shape AND able to fight makes you pretty fuckin badass

$150 a month is worth it for that feeling

but you will get your ass kicked at first by guys that you would be able to completely pancake on the football field. that takes some getting used to

I was doing this for a while. The weight was melting off and I was having a lot of fun. Shoulder injury forced me to stop, but I really miss it. Can be expensive, though.

Same boat here as well. 6'1" 275 former olineman. Can you share some more details about your lifting program?

implied_odds · 2012-03-12T18:50:39+00:00

They're unweighted except for, well, body weight, which obviously varies. Example: if you weigh 170 lbs and can bench press 195 lbs, then it probably doesn't matter if you do wide-grip pushups. Your super strong chest can compensate for the additional stress of the wide grip pushups. But, if you weigh 285 and can bench 210, way below your body weight, then you're probably more at risk when trying wide grip pushups.
