That was last month, sir. I do believe the proceeds from the animal picture surplus paid for this month's fees.

My neck and shoulder got hosed up overtraining deadlifts about a year ago, and in spite of physiotherapy ever since then, I've only partially recovered from it. Might also be because we've just found pretty serious damage in my rhomboid muscle on the affected side. It was doubly lovely because I had just set personal bests in just about everything, and I was feeling so good.

I have a 49 TCL and I promise it is one of the few things I am 100% satisfied with. I’d buy the 55 but I literally don’t watch tv unless the kids are here, does anyone want to talk about “Spirit Riding Free” on Netflix because I have seen each episode 25 times. But anyways get a TCL

About 4/5ths of his recent videos can be summed up as "I did ONE SAMPLE and it invalidates EVERYTHING I DISLIKE." The other 1/5th can be summed up as "loving losers, I'm so much smarter than EVERYONE." His thumbnails, while they used to be tongue-in-cheek clickbaity, are now just straight up "drank the kool-aid" clickbait. And yeah, he's really getting tired of his own shtick.

BigPaddy posted:I had to stop weights once I did my ACL squatting 400lbs. That was the end of all that. Similar, something in my lower back popped and pulled one of the tiny stabilizing muscles at the bottom of a ~225lb squat. Saw a doctor and was assured it's just a pull but it consistently reoccurs on any back squat or deadlift, but at least front squats are fine as long as I don't go too heavy and drop them.

I have a small SLAP tear and piriformis syndrome. I psyically cannot do an overhead press and when I was squatting/deadlifting above ~200lbs my hips were dangerously unstable, so I just went super hard into isolation training insteadeverdave posted:I have a 49 TCL and I promise it is one of the few things I am 100% satisfied with.

That's almost as bad as Caillou E: I feel like AvE kind of lost it around the time he got the hydraulic wrench, but he's still putting out ok work. The biggest problem he has is that there's not a lot of new, video worthy stuff he can do anymore. Like what would be even worth BOLTR-ing anymore?

Applebees Appetizer posted:It is the answer. You cannot lift heavy weights forever, and when your body starts telling you poo poo you better listen. You don't need to deadlift. My mum is 74, lifts heavy weights and has done so since her late thirties three times a week, I'm nearly 49 and Strava is enough example of what I do week in and week out. Dont for one second say age is a limit on lifting iron or exercise because I know well it isnt and there's plenty older than Rollins (Who is just 57) that lift heavy - the gym I'm at has dudes in their 80's lifting and embarrassing much younger guys. You just have to realise trying to be Mr Universe isnt going to work, you can get all the benefits keeping it sane. Lifting even prevents injury and slows aging issues.

But they're a drat good value so long as you go into it knowing you're not going to get amazing picture quality. They currently own the manufacturing rights for RCA in the US as well. If you want a Roku TV, Sharp is probably the best one, followed by TCL. The rest are all store brands or stuff made by TCL.

I got a panasonic tv awhile back. Just a non smart 1080p unit, great picture, perfect fit for the alcove. Its got some tiny spiders in it now though. A pregnant money spider got inside and babied up the place and a few got inbetween the screen and the protective layer. Luckily the new subwoofer seems to be slowly vibrating them down, and it's nowhere near as distracting as when they were still alive and wiggly.

I just took a semi drunken stroll to the corner store and back and passed a thing on the way. A 1966 Chrysler 300. In decent condition, no dings or dents, minimal rust. For sale. I thought to myself, "This would be the perfect car for me to buy to troll the gently caress out of my wife. I want this car." then I thought to myself, "You really don't want this car. What the hell are you thinking?" and I was right on both counts.

I got to wait on Keith David the other day. He's super chill and down to earth, but I got really nervous around him for some reason I didn't recognize his face, but as soon as I heard his voice, I wanted to tell him, "I really liked you as Captain Anderson." He was with his family and I didn't want to be the rear end in a top hat who bothers a famous person in public, though. My coworkers weren't as considerate, but they at least waited until dinner was over to ask for pictures He tips real well

Rhyno posted:I have no idea but it's the only lift that gives me trouble. Metal Geir Skogul posted:Yeah. Just don't buy a Walmart TV (they're walmart-specific SKUs with stripped-down features and generally worse-quality panels 99% of the time), and avoid Spectre, Insignia, or Hisense, with reducing quality in that order. I've had multiple Hisense TVs die on me, and the other two are ones I've either had problems with, or garner a poo poo-ton of negative reviews on actual websites (like slickdeals or amazon) versus their store-specific websites with "catered" reviews (like bestbuy.com). Don't get a curved TV. Have a passed out puppy - three weeks until pick up date. Delta changed their puppy policy so we'll probably be driving ~15 hours each way to bring him home.

Also exercise and heavy lifting are two different things, obviously everyone should exercise.

You know as well as I do that you're talking to a wall  I have a ruptured disc with a slipped one above it, so deads and weighted squats are now a thing that other people do. Sams woth overhead press. I can't lift anything heavy above my shoulder without it forcing the disc into a nerve, and I can't walk for weeks. So I just do a ton of core exercises, kettle bells, and poo poo like that. I can't even do farmers carry

I've never seen a better excuse for a fly and drive. iwentdoodie posted:You know as well as I do that you're talking to a wall Took the words right out of my virtual mouth. Pre-existing injury really puts a damper on what can be done. I still don't get nearly enough exercise, but hopefully that will change now that the weather is warming up and the littlest is a lot less little. Having said that, Rhyno, it's entirely possible the original lifting didn't cause the problem, but something soon after is what tipped you over the edge. We had some snow come down that turned slushy/icy fairly quickly about 3 weeks ago. I ended up clearing the driveway anyways, and was largely ok, until I cleaned the bathroom the next day or so. Wrecked my back the following few days because of it.

Someone left the loving Death Star laying on the US 60 so it inevitably sky rocketed nowhere else other than my loving windshield. 99.9% sure I have glass coverage on a new car lets call my provider to double check. NOPE. Yeah, my bad for not making sure months ago but its one of those things thats an easy upsell for customers upgrading cars within the same policy. Silver lining is that its not insane to replace, 300 bucks out the door but I'm still crazy irritated by the whole thing as that was money that didn't need to be spent.

A guy I used to work with had the same complaint, so when he got another one he tried to "gently expand" the area so it would qualify for a replacement. Shattered the entire windshield. It got replaced, but two years later he was still bitching about glass rattling in his dash.

Your point applies to anyone lifting of *any* age - in fact how many of you are complaining of over extertion injury you did years ago? Was age a factor was it going beyond your limit? - and did you miss my point lifting heavy things is not only done by older people but it also is good for you? Lift heavy, lift within your limits, lift often. Age doesnt come into it and as I said it even slows down aging / bone denity loss / muscle loss.
