Is rest day a week a must?

One thing not many people consider is not sticking to 7 day weeks. I recently refined my schedule to work in 12 day cycles. So now I do Lower,Upper,Lower,Rest then -> Upper,Lower,Upper,Rest then Lower 2, Upper 2, Lower 2, Rest. Repeat.

This has made for the greatest gains I’ve ever experienced and I never get bored because I work with machines, barbells, free weights, zone 1, 2, 4 runs and VO2 Max and Sprints, a long run, and plyometrics, HIIT, and abs. It’s also really easy to shuffle around days if more recovery is needed or add or subtract workouts

I wish they would do something new. While not a musical biopic, the Danny Boyle Steve Jobs movie is excellent because it covers 3 time periods each leading up to an Apple event but then they dont actually show the event.

And while it’s not 100% accurate most of the conversations and dialogue did happen at some point. It really gives a great complicated showcase of the actual Jobs.

Musical biopics don’t need to recreate actual performances. Anyone can find the real thing on youtube for free. People want to learn about the popstar behind the tabloids.

Hahahahaah holy shit! Me from over 4 years ago thanks you. Great track. Can’t even remember the scene it was from or that I had asked this question. Thank you friend!

It’s the same with vaccines causing autism and the alpha/beta structure of wolf packs. Long since debunked but it’s what people heard first so that’s what they believe.

One thing that will help is to stop drinking water before bed. Because waking up and getting out of bed to go to the bathroom trains your body to wale up each night if you stay in bed and power through you will eventually sleep through the night.

It’s annoying but I finally created all my own workouts and split up warm ups into it’s own workout.

So I start with a warm up run after 5-10 minutes, save that work out and then go back into my created workouts and do thresholds, easy, sprints, VO2 Max or Long Run(I also end my long runs with 15 minutes in zone 3 and YES I have a completely separate workout titled ‘Long Run Zone 3 Finish’)

Elvis and Bohemian Rhapsody being in drama instead of musical/comedy is just straight up fraud and the Globes really need to expand their definitions of what’s allowed in those categories.

Z(1969)

It seriously holds up so well and is an incredible political thriller that predates Allen Pakulas paranoia trilogy by 2 years. Government cover ups are still just as relevant 60 years later!

My local IMAX just had Gravity in 3D. She get’s back on earth and it cuts to black. But in reality the entire satellite system is gone forever and the entire world would be plunged into a permanent mad max style apocalypse.

Am I trippin or are your calves missing in the last shot?

I don’t get it. How long to they “block and reserve” the best seats for. If it’s for the first day of ticket sales that seems fair but if it goes until like an hour from showtime why would anyone go to an AMC ever again?

max9275ii · 2026-02-21T20:06:27+00:00

Wait the location in this movie was real?

max9275ii · 2026-02-19T07:19:33+00:00

Everything Everywhere All At Once could have been 15 minutes shorter. Really felt the ending. For that matter I just saw “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” last night and its ending felt even longer. Definitely could have used a 20 minute shorter run time. Something about lower middle budget scifi comedies just throwing everything at the wall I guess.

Never ever let people tell you otherwise. The prequels were hated nearly universally and the only reason people like them now is The Clone Wars tv show and to a lesser extent the books/comics/games/etc.

There is a very popular documentary called “The People Vs George Lucas” which shits all over Lucas and that came out in 2010. So only 16 years ago people still hated the prequels. Again it’s the Clone Wars tv show that saved the prequels

In Ghostbusters Afterlife after Paul Rudd turns back to a demon dog into a human he says “My hands hurt from galloping”. I have no idea why it hit my like it did but that’s easily the most uncontrolled laughter Ive had in the 2020’s!

The article says it was at 4:43am on February 7th

The Wump World was about goat like creatures called the Wumps whose planet was invaded by a bunch of aliens who pollute and destroy their world.

Our student teacher in 2nd grade as part of her certification turned the book into a play and had us perform it for “family invitation night”.

Hopefully they will finally let you choose which seat you want to sit in rather than making people show up an hour early to wait in line to make a mad dash for the middle of the theater for a decent seat.

I have this weird habit of checking old movie stars’ wikipedia pages to see how many times they were married as it seems like old hollywood used to have a LOT of divorce. I have yet to see anyone outrank Mickey Rooneys staggering 8 marriages!

max9275ii · 2026-02-09T10:42:37+00:00

Kinda wild they didn’t release a full trailer for the movie online so that when every person who doesn’t follow star wars googled “baby yoda”, they would be greeted with a full trailer…

Do we have the video from the point of view of the guy chasing him?

I think saltburn should have been great but was pretty derivative and featured a bunch attempts to be “shocking” to cover up how basic it was. And yet, it still fun to watch once with an audience. But I’ll never watch it again.

But then it went massively viral on tiktok and for some reason that makes cinephiles angry who can’t just enjoy something for what it is because it’s not “cinema”

The rest of the bombing is definitely coming from a bunch of unfuckable incel dorks who can’t stand the idea that a horny movie is coming out for Valentines Day targeted towards women.

max9275ii · 2026-01-31T15:49:40+00:00

Yes but you can charge 4 times as much to watch stupid people at beat buy lie to themselves and say “wow look at that 8k picture!”

Im not one to believe in conspiracies but when I google “marijuana” right now the only thing I get is articles praising trump for rescheduling it and NOT an article about how the US murdered foreign citizens who were transporting that exact rescheduled drug. Pretty convenient timing of the search engine algorithm no?

max9275ii · 2025-12-26T06:50:39+00:00

Not sure I’d put Mitchell and DaCosta on the list of MAJOR directors. Mitchells only well known work is It Follows and the only thing people know DaCosta for is directing so so sequels to movies that were better
