A friend was traveling in a train when it hit a person, there was a two hour delay because they had to remove the body parts stuck in the trains wheels and suspension. She told me the train driver was white as a ghost when he got back into the car to inform the passengers about the accident and delay. She also told me while the train workers scraped out the bloody remains the passengers all went to the buffet car to eat and complain about the delay and the selfish way the person committed suicide.

I wouldn't bet my life on that, we've come far in just 100 years, scientists will find a practical way to manipulate gravity within the next 200 years.

I know! But I really need some isolation when doing shoulder exercises, my front delts get a beating 2 times in just 5 days, I feel thats not enough time for them to regenerate. Nono, what I meant is doing overheads instead the more front-delt intensive Arnold & military presses. Unsupported overhead presses tend to align the spine with the weights and there is a perfect 180° angle in the shoulder which theoretically should be easy on the front delts and especially hard on the middle parts of the shoulder muscles. The more the weight is in front of you instead on top of you the harder it is on your front delts. Are lateral raises worth doing as standalone exercise? I've always used them merely as finishers after an intensive workout to give my shoulders the rest. I think first I'll give heavy upright rows with the SZ bar really close to my chest a go, I've always loved those, I think used to do them with 65 or 70kg or so if I remember correctly. Haven't done them in ages. I also like lying rear raises, looks like a useful exercise, few exercise target the rear delts effectively. I'm unfamiliar with this kind of exercise regime, but it sounds very interesting, how long are you planning to perform this peak strength exercise plan? And how long are you resting between the sets?

I started doing lots of incline bench pressing and incline flies because I think my upper chest needs some work, the problem is incline stuff hits the front delts. Now I'm hitting my shoulders really hard on chest day AND shoulder-back day. Is there a good shoulder exercise that does not target the front delts? On shoulder day I'm doing heavy military presses and Arnold dumbbell presses, both exercises that are hard on the front shoulder muscles. What about sitting unsupported overhead presses? That way I'm pressing the weight directly in line with my spine and that should help targeting my middle and back parts of the shoulder. In theory.

My left upper trapezius muscle is super mad at me and it hurts like a motherf...... I can't reach it with my right hand and nothing helps, hot showers, trying to massage it rubbing my back against the door frame. I'm slowly starting to get really desperate....

This is not true at all, the effectiveness of a tool depends on the situation, the circumstances and the environment. Weapons are no different. Things like concealability, remote control of a weapon and those kind of things have to be considered. This happened at an airport so maybe there is a reason why knives were used. About the ease of use of guns, knives are FAR easier to use. Also its always hard to spot the attackers when knives are used in a crowd, the ensuing chaos and the small size of the weapon gives them a certain amount of concealment so they can do a LOT of damage before they can be identified and stopped.

Bruce, by the way, did you know that a body with a high amount of muscle mass burns tons of calories even when resting? Combine cardio with strength training and you'll burn calories much faster. Time to do some bench pressing and biceps curls!

Blaming and banning the tools that were used in a crime is a rather narrow minded and pointless approach usually used by those who are either too lazy, afraid or incompetent to get to the bottom of the real problem. Be it guns, knives or what have you. I'm just waiting for politicians banning pointy and sharp objects now. And RIP to those who died during this completely unnecessary and despicable attack.

Exercise should never be boring - so I decided to do chin ups, commando pull ups and rope pull ups - but with a spin. I did them with my survival backpack and rifle (+15kg) slung over my back, now thats a functional strength exercise. That way it felt so much cooler and it was hard.

@ Enoch congrats! And don't worry, I'm sure everything will be ok, my mother told me once that kids that start off as little troublemakers eventually become the best kids. What I did today: had to play the range officer on the shooting range, I tell you, there is nothing more boring than babysitting two dozen grown men with rifles so they keep shooting paper targets and not start shooting each other to death. I feel asleep even though there was intense noise of gunfire. Big responsibility though. I also helped a complete nub to sight in his scoped rifle, thats my good deed of the day, now I feel like a saint.

Got my .692 730 grain miniè custom made bullet mold for my 1842 Springfield rifled musket. Can't wait to cast some bullets with it!

If I have learned something in the past 8 years of lifting weights and exercising the best way is to simply ''do it.'' Don't think about it, stop bullsh!tting, just go and do it. Now.

''Bulgaria You’re pretty easygoing, and as a result you love entertaining. Your ideal evening involves having a large group of friends over for dinner and catching up over a few bottles of wine.'' This test oozes sarcasm - or its just plain broken. I'm not easygoing, I usually hate being around lots of people -especially at dinner- and I don't like alcohol at all. Anyway:

A friend told me he discovered several of these in his garden, those were rats nests. Very likely a mother with her young. Well, yeah, they have to leave ASAP, rats in my garden means that those beasts might make it into my house. Means I'd have to be super careful if I'm not interested in a small-scale reenactment of the black death plague from the 14th century in my house. I'll call in a swift tomahawk missile strike ....errrm cardboard box evac to the woods. Now where is my targeting laser ...I mean where are my gloves....

Maybe its a hazel dormouse, they build ball-shaped nests during the winter. But still, the nest in my garden is MUCH bigger than this one: *edit* Ah, I just read they don't build their nests directly on the ground. Scratch that.
