QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) No. There is such a thing as heart rate zones, wherein your body will burn different types of fuel depending on how hard your heart is having to pump blood throughout your muscles. Google heart rate zones or heart rate training. Generally, the fat burning zone is going to be zone 2, which is generally going to be 65-75% of your maximum heart rate, depending on your age, fitness level, and a number of other factors. The standard, albeit not necessarily correct method of calculating your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. So if you are 23, your maximum heart rate would be 197 according to this method. It is likely that it is somewhere in that area. Therefore, your ideal fat burning zone would be between 65-75% of 197. This equals a range of 128 and 148. If your heart is beating somewhere in that range you are likely burning a lot of stored fat. So the 145 you are at is probably pretty good for burning fat! If you are getting up to 160 or so, you are probably in zone 3, which is a zone where you will begin burning some readily available carbs that you ate recently. This isn't necessarily a bad thing at all, but if your goal is to lose weight, you would do best to train more in zone 2. As your heart has to work harder, your body begins to burn more carbs because it requires less oxygen than burning fat. Wow, interesting stuff. So I'll try to keep maintaining that 145 bpm range and not worry about pushing myself over 150, like I had been.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 05:15 AM) He's what... 21? He's got a lot of life ahead of him and will get his chance to "be judged for the person (he) is today" - as he pined for in the statement he released. That's kind of my point. If this had come out like 3 years ago, he would be drafted by now, right? This can't be a death sentence for this kid, it was just bad timing for his career. How long is the appropriate amount of time until a team can give him a chance again? It's just kind of an interesting societal case study, that's mostly related to Public Relations blow back.

Thanks for all the info guys. Biggest thing I am going to change is varied workouts, and take less time between rep sets and workouts. Usually I check my phone for a couple minutes between doing stuff, and my heart rate dropping probably hurts the workout. Oh speaking of heart rate, the elliptical, after I put in my info and on "Fat Burn" category, puts my target heart rate at 123 BPM. However, I am usually going pretty fast and my heart rate is at a steady 145+, peaking around 160 sometimes. Is this alright? My heart isn't going to explode is it? lol. I'm assuming my heart rate being as high as possible will burn fat at a more rapid pace, right?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 08:53 AM) I just can't get excited about anything Nintendo. I think the system that had the best games on it was the GameCube personally. Have many great memories with friends playing that system. Yeah, that new Super Mario game is about the only thing that ever made me consider getting a Nintendo system again, but I can't justify it for 1 game.

Through 10 rounds and no one picked him. So is this kid's life over or what?

On MLB Network someone said Jedd Gyorko as a comp and Longenhagen said that was a fascinating comp for Burger.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 19, 2017 -> 02:19 AM) Are you guys talking running in the open world? I assume that must be harder than on an elliptical, because after 7 years and being quite out of shape, I did a little over 2 miles in 17 minutes. Probably could have reached the 3rd mile by minute 26 or so. I doubt I'm somehow a skilled runner, just going to assume elliptical is easier. After relying on the girls from work to get me in to the gym, and them being pretty unreliable/consistent, I decided to just get my own membership. I now go about twice a week (I work out late at night, I work weekends, and they close early on weekends, so week days are my only chance). I know I should probably go more, but according to my phone, I walk 7+ miles during a work day, so it's not like it's my only movement during the week. Also, I play in a volleyball league Thursday nights. 2 matches of 3 games each, so 90 minutes of play. Thursdays after volleyball have been a gym day for me since I am already in workout clothes, sweating, and adrenaline pumping from my games. LOONNNGG story short, I am completely ignorant when it comes to working out. No idea what I should be doing, or if I am doing enough. The goal is weight loss. I am a touch under 6', and weigh 245. I topped out at 273 maybe 12-18 months ago, but have been slowly coming down just by simply eating less garbage, and cutting out like 80% of fast food. I get fast food maybe 2-3 times a month now instead of 2-3 times a week. I've also begun meal prepping a bit for work, instead of stopping at the food court in our building. Helps save money that way too, so that's a plus. So my routine has just been to run 2.5 miles on the elliptical for in 21 mins, (2) of 50 bicep curls, 50 sit-ups, 50 hip-twist...things (works on abs, it says), or 50 chest presses. Then I do the whole thing over again. So I end up running 5 miles in 42 mins (Tonight I did 5.5 miles in the same time, and even ran a 7 min mile, which is by far the quickest I've ever done), and 100 of (2) of those other types of machine workouts. I figure if I am running 5 miles, to not even bother working on my legs because 5 miles will do a number of my legs already, don't need to push them more. Is this good for how big I am? More? Less? Honestly have no idea what I'm doing, but I feel like cardio being the focus is probably the right direction.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jun 10, 2017 -> 11:57 PM) I have a friend who manages a discount tire nearby. He has a customer with a Model S who goes through $2000+ worth of tires per year. Looking forward to your review whenever you get your vehicle! So on the weekly Tesla podcast I listen to, someone called in and voiced concerns about how fast the tires wear. According to the host Ryan McCaffrey, the 22" wheels on the Model X apparently only last around 15,000 miles. But his cousin's Model S on 19" wheels last about 30,000 miles. And not only will my M3 be only 18", but also weighs less than the Model S. So maybe you're talking 40,000 at that point. With how few miles I drive a year, that could last me 4-5 years. So I'm not worried about it for my circumstances.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 02:27 PM) That doesn't mean they will be able to produce them in the next 12 months, either. Right. Their plan is do to 5,000 a week when they start production next month, and do 10,000 a week starting in 2018. So by the end of 2018 they could have around 600,000 cars produced.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:08 PM) Man, assuming he signs Abbott's development is going to be fascinating. Hard not to actually get excited about the pick after reading that, Cummings clearly saw something special in him. Yeah, honestly, I am super excited to see how this kid does. Such a cool story and the idea of the Sox finding this kid out of no where and essentially talking him in to playing baseball is s*** movies get made about. So fascinating.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 02:16 AM) 11. Chicago White Sox As the Luis Robert signing showed, the White Sox are committed to building a major league roster with homegrown players, even if they have to pay a premium for them. It’s worth wondering what this pick would have looked like without bonus pools and slot suggestions. This is a pick that can live up to the hype, though, and the White Sox bought in. The strategy is simple: Get the best possible player first, worry exactly where he’s going to fit second. It’s a fine tradition in the draft, and there’s no reason for the White Sox to veer away from it. Grade: B+ http://www.sbnation.com/2017/6/12/15727198...erious-analysis Uhhhhh....that's a joke article written before the draft even occurred.

Now for some good video... I didn't find any highlight reels on Youtube, but I went through Missouri St. game highlights and copied the URL at the times when there is a #BurgerBomb. (Absolute monster shot out of the entire complex, over the scoreboard. 450+) (Wall scraper, but still a grand slam) (I think it landed in a cemetery) And hey look, good defense too! (Nice back pick on a tough hop) (Showing surprisingly quick hands/transfer on chopper)

Uhh....so I guess this is why Longenhagen was not a fan of Burger's defense.... Yiiiikes.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:39 PM) Here's something to note.... Eric Longenhagen said on a podcast back in May that he thinks a big theme this year will be teams that draft college players on teams that use Trackman, highly advanced data metrics that track a huge amount of data points in a swing or pitching motion. Jake Burger and Gavin Sheets? Both on teams that use Trackman data. In fact, I am watching the Longenhagen live draft chat today, and he said despite not liking Burger much, he and Brent Rooker ranked at the top of the charts for Trackman's avg. exit velo for college hitters. So Burger hits the ball harder on average than anyone in college.
