i have a massive, massive (like anytime i see her on screen anywhere in anything) crush on Zooey Deschanel. I want to marry her.

QUOTE (Getupstretch39 @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) Sorry if this has been discussed but I don't feel like searching for it. Obviously the better shape you are in to start this the better, but what kind of shape should you be in to start? Can the programs be tailored to suit beginners? Thanks! yeah it definitely can - there are modifications you can make to almost any move to make them harder or easier. although we'd have a better time answering your question if you gave some specifics... what height/weight are you at now?

here's my view of insanity. if you want muscle, P90X is the way to go. if you want to lean up, lose weight and tone, hit Insanity. Insanity will not BUILD muscle as quickly or well as P90X because, like shack said, there's no resistance training. What it will do, is kick the s*** out of you (think plyo every single day) and consequently by the end you'll be in incredible shape - just look more like a runner/swimmer as opposed to looking like john cena. all depends on your goals.

bizarre - i went to sleep around 1:30/2ish so i guess i was dead to the world around 4:15... shame. I always miss these things. haha. although with my downstairs neighbor and the copious bass he pumping right now... i wouldn't be able to feel a mag 7 let alone 3.8...

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) So are you guys noticing a huge difference in your bodies since you started p90x? I'm considering starting it once summer comes around. nah man, start it NOW so you can be ripped by summertime! seriously though it DOES make a significant difference. I was at work last night and a girl and a guy were jokingly flexing their biceps and so i "jokingly" did too... both were surprised at how muscley I've gotten in just a couple months. it's kinda fun.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 10, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) What if you only have dumb-bells and no weights? Highest amount of weight I got is 10 lbs. I usually do pushups (usually a couple sets) then up it by 10 every 2 weeks. in reality yeah, you either need heavier weights or to hit a gym...

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 5, 2010 -> 07:03 AM) I hate getting stabbed in MW2. One dude stabbed me like 5 times in a row. He was stalking me. knifing is kinda my thing... Me and aiming don't get along too well, but my knife skills are superior. Lol

QUOTE (soxman352000 @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 01:24 PM) She did then that def is a start in the right direction. good stuff.

QUOTE (soxman352000 @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 01:13 PM) Haven't spoken for about a week and she finally started talking to me again. Which is a start in the right direction. who initiated said talking?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) I like the vinyasa moves in the yoga routine. I think those do have some serious value. I usually turn it off when they get to the toe grab or whatever early in the balance poses. As for the pullups/bands, I am reaching the point where I need to start doing actual pullups or I need to get the 50 pound bands. I am doing about 30-40 reps with a 30 pound band from about as far away from the door as I feel comfortable getting (plus, my body weight ends up getting pulled back towards the door anyways). Unfortunately, the bar is not an option for me as my doorways are too wide. We do have a gym in the building, but I don't recall if their is a bar in there or not. I guess it is possible to do some real pullups in there. I am excited to start some of the other routines next week. And 22 days in, the results are pretty incredible. Reddy, I take it this is your second time through? yeah it is. i didn't eat nearly well enough the first time through - and it's still been hard but i'm working on it. the problem i have is that since i'm trying to add bulk, i need 3000ish calories a day. doing that healthily is hard, having the money for it is even harder. lol. but i'm doing what i can. and yeah, if you can find a way to do actual pullups thats gonna be what you wanna do - that's a whole lotta reps you got going on there. but if not, if your gym has one of those machines with a bar you pull down (can't think of the actual name), you can sit there, adjust weight accordingly, and that will kind of simulate a pullup as well.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 11:33 AM) The fact its 90 min and boring as hell. I've taken it out of my routine subbing in more cardio. This is supposed to be my rest week as well, but instead im going to do a few days of doubles and core the other 2. i mean, thing is, if you're doing it correctly you're gonna be sweating just as much - if not more - than a resistance workout. it's such a good way to cleanse your body of all the crap that builds up in there. and besides the obvious great things it can do for you physically (balance, core strength) there are a ton of other benefits - both physical and mental.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) Can you do pullups in any volume at all? get this. first legs+back workout ever i only managed like 9 pullups over the course of the whole workout combining all the variations. by day 90 in legs + back, I did 80. EIGHTY. how? i used the chair to assist my pullups after i got one or two and failed on three or what have you. i grabbed the chair and kept going to 10/15 whatever. eventually i was able to add actual pull-ups, and now i don't use the chair at any point in that workout. Basically the same thing as you using the bands. so you ARE getting some really solid work done with those. if/when you do transfer to actual pull-ups, you'll be doing pretty well.

love that this thread has gotten busy, so i'm gonna join in had Chest/Shoulders/Tris yesterday and damn do i hate that workout. i just hate doing basically every move - haha but hey it gets the job done. i'm nice and sore this morning. fortunately i've been consulted only to do about half of plyo because i'm trying to add bulk, and while plyo is great for slimming and toning, it does the exact opposite of the progress i'm trying to make. so i usually stop after the the third set - with jump knee tucks and mary katherines. on the flip side, i double time both so i'm wasted by the end of it. ok and i'd love to preach the value of yoga. what is it about it you guys don't like?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 9, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) 25/25 with 3:03 left i was trying to remember specific moments and who was involved. amazing that home run didn't stick with me... lol

gah. 22/25 missed

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 8, 2010 -> 10:37 AM) Garcia experienced a bit of controversy at the beginning of the 2006 season when he tested positive for marijuana during the World Baseball Classic.[3] i don't believe it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 6, 2010 -> 08:55 AM) i'm glad you bumped this just to let me stare at your sig for hours. By the way what up BDDDDD it does capture one's attention...

the coolest theory that i've heard so far, and i'm inclined to agree with, is that the "new timeline" isnt a new timeline at all. The bomb changed what always happened and that's them in 2004, while the group at the swan are in 2007. The plane DIDN'T crash, but the island has a way of course-correcting. And eventually they'll all end up back there one way or the other.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 09:35 AM) I'm arguing to the wrong people. You guys probably can't find a single thing to fault in this series. *shakes head* are you serious? did you not see my post suggesting i was underwhelmed by the season premiere? that - and all this stealing bodies s***... kinda lame if you ask me. but i'll keep an open mind.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 3, 2010 -> 09:12 AM) LOL. Such a fan boy. There's so many other ways that could have been written to sound more natural and realistic. For instance: Locke: "I hate when they lose your bag" or have him somehow overhear Jack talk about his dad's coffin being lost. plus how bout this, what if locke already feels a sort of comfortableness with Jack - doesn't know why - but it enables him to say something to him. just like jack is having these moments of recognition, why wouldn't the others?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) they answered that smoke monster is jacobs nemesis...but thats it..... why is the island underwater when they are flying over? why is desmond on that plane? why is hurley "lucky"? Where is Christian? Who exactly is the Chinese guy? Who is the flight attendant lady? Why was Charley supposed to die? Why are their names in the Ankh? Did the reset work or not? I guess I just had heard that this season premiere was supposed to answer alot of questions and that the timeline for this season is told as one continuous story. I guess I'm just confused by alot of it, when I thought things would be a bit more clear. I'm just not as captivated by all these convoluted story lines as I was in the first 2-3 seasons...that said its still must see TV and i can't wait for next week. Just thought things would be more clear this week and was a bit disappointed by it i'm with you. i feel like the episode had a bunch of really great moments, but as a whole, i'm still left as completely baffled as I was going into it... if not more so. And the only things they answered are the things we've all bee assuming already... lol

oh, and this is definitely video from next season... so... don't watch it if ya don't wanna see it.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 2, 2010 -> 04:18 AM) I see, Cubs, Marlins, Pirates, Braves, Nationals. Looks like mostly NL East. but no mets. so annoying.
