Can’t they both be awful? There’s more than one way to be awful.

Grip strength! Especially if you’re a new-ish deadlifter, your grip will give out before your posterior chain gives out. Another reason to not fear deadlifts, assuming no previous back issues. Build that grip early and often. I personally use hook grip for as long as I can and switch to mixed grip for really heavy…

Ah, but it does take strength to lower. That’s the eccentric part. Generally I agree with you. Lower the deadlift in a controlled manner most of the time. But I can see dropping it sometimes —- say if you’re testing your 1RM and are getting close to your max.

Omg. Now you've done it. She gonna die this week.

In the best possible version of reality, Bristol would meet Josh Duggar, and they would trade stories. They’d help each other realize that they are NOT cut out for the Conservative Gravy Train of their parents, hook up, and be much better people for it.

VITARGO. I'm a weightlifter dieting to a lower weight class, and I swear, the only way I'm getting through my workouts is because I drink that stuff pre and intra workout.

I clicked through, and I must protest: lavender-scented lotion is ANATHEMA to people who hate lotion.

Except Peter Attia also has a preconceived agenda where nutritional “science” is concerned. He’s on the low-carb bandwagon. Not a great ally if you’re trying to promote skepticism free of bias.

This parent probably knew instinctively that it was HER kid driving the teacher to drink, HER kid who was the little shit. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...

Yes. I loved crossfit when I did it, but I think the chief DANGER of crossfit is also what makes it powerful: injuring yourself because you’ve gone way beyond the reps or weight you’re capable of and into pain, due to latent group pressure (even when an instructor tells you to scale). You have to have a high knowledge…

People who work in cultures where this is apparently normalized and NBD.

I would totally buy a President of the United States, a Congress, and a Supreme Court. To implement some of my great ideas.

Best scene in ROTK: when Rohan finally arrives at the Pelennor Fields, Theoden pumps them up, (DEATH!!!) and they charge. I love that so much.

I’ve only seen the gif. I now know way too much about dinosaur porn. Should I even bother reading the post?

I think the "sports" food would be more comparable to "fast" food than "whole" food for one major reason: the sports food and fast food will both be highly processed and easier and quicker to digest. That can sometimes be a bonus over "whole" food, the digestion of which can be slowed down by the presence of fiber or…

Precisely why we need to bring back insect eating! Totally serious.

Oooh, perfect place to ask this question: I'm going to an Orthodox Jewish wedding on Long Island at the end of May. I am neither Jewish nor a New Yorker, and I have never been to a Jewish wedding. What are the "rules" for women's ceremony and party attire?

I was certain it was going to be "her own mail."
