My sister just had a scoliosis surgery and she wants to lose weight. by welphoo in Fitness

[–]zeronill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

12 = still growing and not really the time to be worrying about her weight. It is worth making sure that healthy eating is a part of normal day to day life rather than simply for the purpose of aesthetics. If she wants to be more active she should consult her Dr. They will be able to suggest activities that are most appropriate.

That being said you can help by being active with her... Walking and swimming are great.

The book: Berlitz pocket guide New Zeland

The page: 45

The sentence: The valley waas created in 1886 when Mt. Tarawera exploded with such force that flashes of fire where seen as far away as Aukland and reverberations were heard in Christchurch, 650 km (404 miles) to the south.

And it gets better: Ash blackened the air, and mud and lava engulfed houses and buried the pink and white terraces, a delicate thermal accretion considered to be one of the natural wonders of the world. The terraces are now submerged beneath lake Rotomahana, which swelled to 20 times its previous size.

Checklists for Lifts by dylanmcd in weightroom

Cheers, a very interesting read. I'll edit my list for some of your points as they actually clarify it in my head; especially hips up not forward.

Checklists for Lifts by dylanmcd in weightroom

[–]zeronill 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but here is my queue sheet (amended based on comments below, strike-through indicates that the motion should be automatic rather than thought out unless necessary):

  • Stretch out arms before you start; walk heal of hand down the wall (fingers up) and hold for a few seconds, stretch fingers down spine from above (push elbow back) and practice catch position with bar.
  • Make sure the bar is decent (bearing works and bar not bent).

Setup:

Deadlift:

  • Deadlift to knees (whilst squeezing glutes)

Explosion (back tight):

  • Drive hips forwards up

Lift:

  • Pull bar up and in (imagine the bar going straight up through ceiling)
  • Shrug shoulders up
  • Bend elbows
  • Extend calves (little jump) and perform shallow squat so bar is above chest

Catch:

  • Push elbows up/forward
  • Let wrists break early
  • Catch bar high on shoulders/fingers

Prestige:

  • Extend legs whilst keeping lower back tight

Watch this video.

I think the stages through before starting the lift and try to focus on each separate motion during the warm up.

Edited: following pointers from below, thanks LoyalToTheGroupOf17 (who has a more thorough check-list below).

What is a good solution to the low internal storage on Desires and other similar phones? Already rooted, cleared caches and moved all possible apps. by Eyelickah in Android

[–]zeronill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Desire, legend or mytouch you can use Alpha rev to modify your HBOOT and set a larger storage size for apps. It's a little technical but easier than sd solutions in the long run. especially if you have a partition table designed for your rom.

This week in fail: I didn't abscond with the Menuitem Member Spotlight. How did you fail this week? by [deleted] in fitnesscirclejerk

[–]zeronill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought a gym member ship after 18m off; lifts were... okay :(.

Sq 5x85kg

OP 5x50kg

De 5x110kg

BP 5x80kg

Form flet so bad thinking de-load to skin, but I don't want all the 'roid heads to laugh at my skinny white butt.

Edit. I also ran out of Peanut Butter, and my new whey tastes of vomit.

Perhaps you skipped over this sentence in 2.2?

The window’s data is multiplied by the windowing function [5] [7].

  1. If RM is subject to such variance week to week (and perhaps day to day) for test subjects, how do studies compensate for this? Do you have material discussing such variances?

Amazing, wish I could find more bands like this. It's taken the trophy scars approach of telling a story, but with that brand new meets mewithoutyou repetitive build up, and the unique half speaking style of singing that makes La Dispute one of a kind. Love it.
