  1. What lifts are you doing in the 5x5? Are you doing machines or freeweights? Some Thoughts: I’m sure you’re doing this but start out light and work up slowly. Machines can be great IMO when you’re starting up/training muscles that have atrophied, or for specific weak points. E.g. my back hates sit-ups but I can do ab machines no-prob with acceptable results. Go slow with the movements - lighter weight with more “time under tension” is probably a good idea. I.e. let the weight down slowly during the rep, like 2-3 seconds. Build up the coordination / muscle memory with the movements before you load up the weight. Stretching/yoga might also be a really good use of time.
  2. I’ve been following over time and just got up to date on this thread. Congrats to you and your wife and amazing work! What is a “normal” gym workout for you at this point?
  3. Reporting that Girkin is to be detained until (at least?.?) September 18. He deserves to rot in jail but I am honestly going to miss his doom posting/ calling the decision makers in Moscow “pink ponies”, etc. His takes on the Russian’s shit show did add to the bouquet.
  4. Older F250/350 looking good pulling a M777 around. Appears the UA had the good taste to paint over the former owner’s plumbing/whatever business logo:
  5. American crew in Ukraine. Russian mortars making for a long day at the office. Made my Monday look a little easier.
  6. Yeah and It’s an Armageddon and The Abyss mash-up that actually happened. Cameron could do a great job with it, really surprised he hasn’t done it already.
  7. I don’t know why Project Azorian hasn’t been made into a big budget movie. So many great themes: Cold War Covert ops Moonshot type of innovation/R&D Risky/huge physical forces involved Hughes cover story O&G driller cowboys Boat full of Russians / some bikinis Near disaster during execution Partial success Everybody lived (except the dead Russians we gave a ceremonial burial at sea to)
  8. I guess they adopt the NATO identifiers over their own even when it’s a pejorative.
  9. “Shelling” my ass. with what? 18” naval guns? Maybe Putin finally put ol’ Steven Segal in the game for an Under Siege reboot.

    Shit My Kid Says

    Don’t try to apply logic to this. She read it on the internet, it must be true. In prior years, she ran this all the way up the chain to a pediatric gastroenterologist (who knew that even existed), who told her to chill out and this isn’t a thing, but here we are.
  11. Saw the first fawn of the year yesterday. Couldn’t catch a pic but he was laid down between the protein feeder and the road. Lots more pregnant does around.
  12. “Corrosion X” for exterior rust and “Corrosion X for Guns” for interior/action rust and rust prevention have been the best performing long-term rust preventative I’ve used/seen. It’s a little expensive, but worth it IMO. Available on Amazon.
  13. These guys are making shit happen with that hydraulic fluid
  14. Graham has hates him some Russians. It’s interesting, I’d like to hear his mindset/backstory on it. He’s been all-in since the beginning.
  15. Yeah he’s jumped the shark, maybe intentionally entering the “old man yells at cloud” zone so that cooler heads can prevail while he keeps the crazy rants going to some how “save face” int their way. Solovyov is like Khrushchev banging his shoe on the podium like a clown and the rest of the folks know it’s time to “make a deal, wrap this up and get back to doing business with Europe”, as was said in the other state tv broadcast.
  16. Taliban has been watching the Ukes crush the Russian and Iranian tech and is feeling their Wheaties with their NATO gear.
  17. Solovyov is still delaminating, “nuke England, nuke the Gerald Ford, etc”. Seemingly more and firmer dissenting voices. I’m actually surprised one of the guests didn’t call him out on his hypersonic missiles are the solution statement. The silence was palpable though. They all know they’re fucked.
  18. More from the Prigozhin rant:
  19. This dude is really classing up the joint with his Sauer 100.
  20. Kicking the counteroffensive off in a serious way over a US holiday weekend would be good for publicity and the political capital that follows.
