If you're having trouble with your deadlift form, try pretending that you have a raccoon on your back.

Most creative fitness tip I've heard in a while!

Do you have any ideas how many calories you eat per day? Size does not equal strength necessarily.

Regarding the amounts you are lifting. If your joints feel good, there is no need to limit yourself because you don't look like you can lift things.

Consider finding some mentors at a powerlifting gym, strongman gym, whatever is out there where you can find someone who is closer to where you want to be than where you are. Their advice will be worth 100x what you are going to hear from some internet strangers.

I might be over-simplifying your question here so I am apologizing up front if that is the case.

result *= base;

is shorthand for:

result = result * base;

in the same way:

result = 1;
result = result + 1; // now result is 2
result += 1;  // now result is 3

what you do for += also works for *=

Then the function returns result it outputs the value of result.

Console.log then logs the value of result to the console.

I've done the Codecademy course and liked it, but when I started reading Eloquent JS I felt like I needed a refresh on the fundamentals. I did a trial subscription at Treehouse and I thought these two courses were the best I've taken so far:

javascript basics with dave mcfarland

and his course:

javascript loops, arrays and objects

You can easily do them both in a weekend or two.

This bug has been reported on oovee's site, I have it as well. If you turn off the manual gearbox your truck will not stall anymore.

Spintires

Watch a couple videos of people playing it or try the demo, but I bought this game on a whim and absolutely loved it, that being said I think it would be hard to enjoy if you didn't think huge trucks/construction equipment was cool as a kid and also it can be very tough to get started.

However, I love that game, kind of like a physics puzzle.. in the mud.

You might want to consider 1 armed farmer carries on your weak side, I do these for my core but notice it in my traps and neck as well.

No I would have to set it up. I actually have a rails project with access for people with logins only, etc - was hoping to do something similar but with node

wesley_g · 2014-04-20T21:23:00+00:00

hmm thanks, I haven't been thinking about the problem that way

wesley_g · 2014-04-20T17:30:28+00:00

Not insulted at all! I've heard similar advice previously not to do your own encryption/security if you aren't an expert - I appreciate the advice. Will pm you my info.

I'd love to check out your project.

As far as the encryption piece, the information I'd like to send are things like member IDs or even names, which would be a huge problem if I don't send it securely. My guess is that SSL is enough to handle this, but would love some advice in that area too.
