Woldan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Physically lifting cars out of the snow is awesome, but I still wouldn't call it practical. What I meant with practical/functional strength is strength useful outside the gym, for some reason quite a lot of people think if you only lift barbells and dumbbells thats all you can do. Once you lift something that isn't a barbell or dumbbell you crap out. Thats the dumb theory of strength vs. practical/functional strength, usually spread by cross-fitters etc. Edited January 8, 2015 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Hurlshort Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah, my wife is not a big fan of Crossfit. But I thought they use barbells for a bunch of exercises? Personally I get enough wear and tear playing hockey, I don't need to speed through gym exercises and risk more injury. I'll take my gym time slow and steady. 1
Woldan Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah, my wife is not a big fan of Crossfit. But I thought they use barbells for a bunch of exercises? True, they use bastardized lifting exercises, but also tire flips, medicine ball throwing and a bunch of wrong pull up variants because of that ''functional'' strength. I'm not a fan of cross fit either, they use awful form and jerking which is known to cause permanent joint damage over time. 1 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

I wonder if the PETA Kill Shelters are a phenomenon anywhere except the US. I've only heard about it in US context. PETA, ironically, kills more animals in their shelters than pretty much all other shelters in the world combined. That was hyperbole, naturally, but not as hyperbole as you'd think.

Gfted1 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The dog was a Rhodesian Ridgeback Those were originally bred for hunting lions, right? When I was stationed in Jacksonville my neighbor had one of those. Giant, beautiful, friendly dog and I love how the fur on the spine runs counter to the rest of the coat. I think I once read that they instinctually attack from behind so it always made me a little nervous how it would follow me to the pier and watch me fish. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

I think I once read that they instinctually attack from behind so it always made me a little nervous how it would follow me to the pier and watch me fish. Yes you are correct, thats good general dog knowledge They are very effective hunting dogs, my dad has a huge garden and over the last 20 years all he has ever got was Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Jack Russels ( I love little tenacious Jack Russels ) But the ridgebacks make excellent guard dogs and they can be highly intelligent, when they decide to attack they don't even bark....they just bite 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Woldan Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Tried out my new rifle and sighted in the scope, found out that the rifle is really accurate. My first 3 shot group ever with this rifle was almost hole-in-hole at 50 meters and thats just with a bipod, no rear stock support and without trying hard. The next 5 shot group after correcting elevation wasn't bad either considering we have a storm here right now, 130km/h wind gusts which does affect accuracy more than most people would imagine. Oh and I was shooting really cheap ammo. (those are 5mm holes, the black dot is about thumb-sized) Can't wait to find out what it can do with match grade ammo, rested on sandbags with a fully concentrated shooter at 100. And it goes without saying that dogs are much more maintenance than cats. Unless you have to care about a really really ill cat like I had to for several years, 24/7. After that nothing can shock me anymore. Edited January 10, 2015 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
