QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 08:10 AM) Also, if you do decide to do shoulder shrugs -- do NOT roll your shoulders thinking it will target more muscle area, it won't. A proper shrug is straight up, straight down -- NO rolling...which almost every idiot in the gym does. Rolling shrugs can fray up your rotator cuff, and add nothing to the shrug exercise itself. If you want to work out your traps, I recommend doing upright rows. Yep, I never roll and I always use dumbells held right at each side. Using a barbell changes my grip and puts a wierd strain on my pecs, not to mention the bar rolls over my junk, no good.

How about the Latin broad on ESPN deportes? Name anyone?

Shrugs are for building traps, but do they help build a strong neck too? Does anyone use the neck machine?

South Beach was fun. It was nice to be in a real city and to find places serving dinner after 11 pm and drinks after 2 am. I've never seen so many hot women in one city.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ May 2, 2009 -> 02:12 PM) Thanks for the LOL. Good stuff.

That's interesting, I find that from my chest to about halfway up really stresses my chest and the top half stresses my triceps. I sometines bench and push the bar only halfway up and then back down to my chest. As long as my grip is wide enough, it doesn't hurt my shoulders at all.

...and she's a bad liar. "I got beer on my pants and they just had to come off instantly, right then and there, I couldn't wait any longer, honest."

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 20, 2009 -> 12:04 PM) I'd like to hear the "why" on that as well, since I had a shoulder issue and surgery a few years ago that may have been caused by bad weightlifting technique (my thoery is doing bench press all the way to chest bounce, and lat pull-downs behind the neck). Lat pull down behind neck, bad. There is nothing wrong with bringing the bar down to your chest when you bench press, you want a full range of motion. Bouncing it however, is cheating.

I remember reading somewhere that you should work your shoulders from back to front. In other words, do the rear head, then the middle and the front head last. Does anyone know why this is recommended?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 19, 2009 -> 10:14 AM) Off the flow... I got a flat tire while riding the bike to work this morning (I ride pretty much every day in spring-fall). Broke my tire tool trying to change the tire, ended up doing a bus-walk thing to get downtown, big pain in the ass, etc. So then I try to find the nearest bike shop downtown. There is not a bike shop in downtown Chicago. There is one at like 1200 S. Michigan, another one way out at like 900 S Des Plaines by the Dan Ryan, and some in Streeterville - but not a single one in the loop or even near the loop. Downtown is the place more bikes ride to during the day than anywhere else. How in the hell is there no bike shop down here? If you got some extra cash to play around with, sounds like it would be a fun bid-ness venture.

You already know what you should and should not be doing. Can you pass up the pizza for a salad? Can you pass up the milk shake, or pop for water? Can you do 30 minutes of cardio instead of 30 mins on Soxtalk? Self Discipline. Plain and simple. You have it or you don't.

I'm going to South Beach, Fl. next week for 5 days. It just kinda fell into my lap. Any 'must do' tips?

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 14, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) I've been listening to Cage the Elephant's album (Cage the Elephant-2008) for the past few hours, I'm really digging it. I heard the single Ain't No Rest for the Wicked on the radio, and I've been pleased. The whole record definitely has a Jack White vibe to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHBKnKCZe-8 Is that song being used in a film, or tv commercial??

How the hell am I supposed to remember all of that?

What would make you assume they mean 'both' when they said 'either'? Maybe it's a California thing, but I hear it a lot out here.....and people look at me like I'm the idiot for not understanding them.

This is not a trick question or a riddle, but more of a grammar question. Someone says to you: "Please put a chair on either side of that table". How many chairs would you put down?

Very solid film none of you will ever watch: 'Sunshine Cleaning'

QUOTE (Cali @ May 2, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) Really? Are they getting some radio play or something? Cause that would be awesome.... Yes and they were on some late night talk show last week, either Letterman or Fallon.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) Manchester Orchestra - Mean Everything to Nothing My man love for these guys is strong, and I don't think I've personally had as much expectation for an album in many many years. They totally met them. They cover so much ground in this album, it's heavier than their debut album, especially the first half of the album. You can definitely hear the In Utero influence on this CD, and just early 90's rock in general. They tried to model the "concept" of the album like Weezer did with Pinkerton, so there's another great album to be influenced by. I can not wait to see them live next month. Album of the Year so far for me. I've seen and heard these guys everywhere lately. Solid sound, thx for the tip.

QUOTE (The Human Borch @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) i'm sure none of you remember this, but sometime last summer i came here saying i was starting a band and we were gonna try out some rhcp stuff. well, i figured i'd give an update, and do some shameless advertising of some videos we put up... last weekend we played a show outside a hotel here in downtown columbus. we got lucky because our bassist's dad is in a local cover band, and they said they'd let us open for them. We ended up playing three songs, starting with "purple stain" by rhcp, then we played an original called "ain't my scene", then we closed with "give it away". it was a lot of fun and we think it went well, so here's the videos... (i'm the singer, be gentle... haha) "Ain't my Scene": "Give it Away": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4BeiJhkd5Y Thanks for any input! In the far shots you look like that Adam/Andy/Sanberg/ler dude on SNL. In the closer shots you look like James Blunt. Wierd, cuz those guys look nothing alike. That's all I got.
