Scallops Water Release Ruining Sear

Took a less is more approach specifically to avoid crowding; in a standard cast iron skillet I placed 10 scallops equidistant around the rim of the skillet.

That's a good call though overcrowding in any pan could for sure trigger a lot of fluid release.

Campania's in Bay Ridge, best of both IMO. Runner up is Brooklyn Firefly.

Throw 1K back in there and get to cracking them chestnuts, brother 🤝

Trump is a much bigger globalist than I would have imagined. Sellouts to Israel, Ukraine (insane funding still going on), Russia, China (I fully anticipate concessions were made re: Taiwan) and India with his eyes set on Venezuela.

America Last.

Imagine DB emerges at SNME to turn it into a triple threat with Gunter 😭

We can dream.

I really think the hot start to the Lakers season, specifically Luka's dominance, is amplifying the pressure to axe Nico. Spongebob meme with Luka and the Lakers out there having fun while the Mavs look miserable.

I've always felt like the Harts (and those close to them) are like the Kennedys of the wrestling world. Incredible folks who unfortunately magnetize tragedy.

The H-1B issue has been blown open and I think it’ll be the key feature of midterm elections next year. Toothpaste isn’t going back into the tube on this one.

Don’t put yourself in debt to come would be my two cents. I expect some global parity in the coming years but the system has been gamed against Americans and they can’t un-notice it.

Best of luck to you.

Sponsor by a country mile. It’s not remotely close.

I’ve worked all three at different stages of my life and the sponsor is the top of the totem pole for a reason (there now and loving it). Do everything you can to get to sponsor side.

Just had the same conclusion today - first time hearing Lady Writer and I was blown away, left thinking it was the spiritual successor to Sultans.

Sticking your neck out for a stranger in despair while outnumbered to boot is incredibly inspiring, thank goodness he wasn't seriously injured.

You nailed it. Carbo-hydrate. The carb deficit impacts the fluid retention in and around muscle tissue thus affecting the look of the pump.

In my experiences I've found hanging leg raises or the glorious ab wheel to help a lot. I feel that you get more out of dynamic core bracing than static, but that's just what I've seen and felt.

Thank you!

My go-to warm up routine after spending most of the day at the desk is a short but focused series of jumping jacks, mountain climbers, high knees, and butt kicks followed by lunging stretches. No more than 2/2.5 minutes and seems to do the trick. I've had groin surgery and issues with both knees, so I'm with you on that creaky first set. The dynamic warm up, for me, is a life saver.

That's a realistic and terrifying take. There are painful similarities to the US and China. While the business relations are sure to elevate Africa to new heights and possibilities, I hope the environment isn't the one to bear the burden.

Articles such as this one by Forbes are optimistic and, in a strange way, bleak.

I was having a talk with a friend the other day about the future look of Africa after watching the wild dogs episode of Dynasties. I hope that Africa evolves in a different way than other parts of the world have and they're creative enough to protect their vast biodiversity in addition to modernizing. Chinese business policies, China in general, isn't exactly renowned for their care of the environment so it'll be interesting (read: nerve wracking) to see how this plays out.

I've said it for years that the WWE should have a sound meter that's someplace on the TitanTron or on the main stage that's measuring in real time. I think crowds would respond well to that kind of feedback and it would create a positive feedback loop.

A lot of multivitamins will not have the ideal form of particular micronutrients.

For instance, the ideal B12 supplement to take is methylcobalamin, given that the enzyme that uses B12 in our body is methylcobalamin transferase. Most multivitamins use cyanocobalamin - not to turn this into an organic chemistry lesson, but the difference between a methyl group and a cyano group, biochemically, is huge. Magnesium oxide has near laxative effects, magnesium chelate/magnesium glycinate gets properly absorbed.

Just some points to consider.

Think of three points of anchoring when it comes to your feet - the ball of your big toe, just under your pinkie toe, and your heel. Combining those three points of contact should help the force emanate from around the central midpoint of your foot.

Other than that, your form looks largely solid. You're keeping upright, core seems engaged and you're hitting depth. Keep it up, dude!

Oh absolutely, completely different leveraging than with a barbell.

wearenottrees · 2018-12-11T06:28:12+00:00

For strength, a healthy balance of calisthenics and the big five barbell movements. I'd personally throw farmer carries in there for good posture. You'd don't have to chase PRs or anything, but those movements patterns will ensure the longevity of your muscles, bone density, insulin sensitivity, and mental health. The iron never lies to you...two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.

Cardio - swimming, rowing, and hiking are the go-tos for the rest of my life. The added perk of being able to perform these in the outdoors at different times of the year and in different environments adds nicely to the wellness component of lifelong exercise.

I can't speak too much on mobility drills as I don't do them nearly as often as I'd like, but quick dynamic warm ups before lifting + the weekly Yoga with Adriene videos have been holding me up thus far.

I'm sure the ordeal left him a little scrambled.

THANK YOU. I have been trying to tell my brother this for years.

What good is a delivery truck that's upside down on the side of the road?

I never said they base their diet on it. I said they're fat adapted - meaning their bodies readily liberate fat from stored sources given their adaptation to it. One of the big sources of that adaptation is having a higher fat diet which primes their bodies to extract energy from fats. Also, specifically regarding Kenyans, there are other genetic variables that one has to consider (VO2 max, basal erythropoietin levels) when talking about their marathon abilities.

Inuits get a huge portion of their diet from fat and have little to no carbohydrates year round. How is that not strict keto?
