I’d go with one 20 rep set of squats, but I agree with the sentiment...

I’m old enough to have ridden without a helmet in California. It’s kind of like unprotected sex: thrilling, but terrifying.

Well, I think it’s different for everyone and it’s not just age: body type plays a role, too. I’m six two and it’s always been easier for a person who’s, say, five eight to squat lower and DL lower. These compound exercises, while I swear by them over exercises that isolate, have always been harder on my knees and…

Or, as I like to call them: deadlifts for old people. I’m 46 and at about 40 I discovered that if I wanted to keep lifting, doing what he’s doing in the video makes sense. The bar doesn’t go all the way down to my chest while benching anymore, either.

Works fine for me. Fewer bills to keep track of, zero trips to the gas station, zero trips to the oil change place, etc, etc. I spend about $90 a month commuting by bus right now (partly out of convenience, partly out of financial necessity - which started about a year ago and is currently at an end). If I understand…

Agreed. The catch rules are insane, though. I played the damned game and I’m often not sure whether they’re going to rule it a catch or not....

Let me see if I understand this: I’m going to be able to commute to work for a grand total of $6 x 2 per day x 20.83 days = $240 per month? Including fuel and insurance? Sign me up now.

I wouldn’t go that far, but you do have a point. No male writers whose mom taught them how to clean, or were in the military?

“If you can’t pay up, speak up early and often.” Pro tip: also true in divorce. Jobs get lost, boyfriends get lost, etc. Life happens. Just tell me about it instead of hiding it. It just makes things worse. “...that you’re in a weird, sexless relationship with.” Coincidentally, also true of divorce!

Is it this bad in most places? I live in the SF Bay Area and the sports talk around here seems fairly tepid by comparison. The wildest thing I can thing of is a night time dude several years ago getting fired over a comment made about Latin Giants players.

I grew up in the 80s as well and I don’t remember it quite that way. An MLB game was definitely not always on. You had to look in the paper in the morning to see if that day’s game was on and, if not, you were bummed. And then they started to televise more games, but those games were on SportsChannel and if your…

As a 49er fan, I’m really excited about this. They’ve never hired a personality like this before so I’m really curious to see how it all ends.....

Yeah, because that’s the first thing I think of when I think of Silicon Valley. Weed.

That’s pretty much par for the course for them.

You must be new here. Body shaming of either men or women is tots ok when the author gets all #satire.

“why did that drive take so long?” If that constitutes being “grilled,” then Philly is losing a step.

I agree with you about reacting vs thinking. It seems like it’s kinda like Obamacare or Gun Control, where the mention of the catchphrase/buzzword/slogan causes a knee jerk reaction, but if you ask people whether they think insurance companies should exclude for a preexisting condition, they never say....yes! and a…

Thanks for such a detailed reply; I really appreciate the info!

I’m curious about the driver seat being uncomfortable. How tall are you? I’m six two and contemplating replacing my 97 land cruiser with a GX. Not that I didn’t love my LC, but it was too big for my needs and for the last few years I felt like what I wanted was something inbetween a LC and 4runner.

I wouldn’t put an upper limit on what I’d be willing to try out on the track. On the street? I’m 46 and I learned to ride on my father’s 1982 Yamaha Seca 750. Once over 120, it all feels the same to me. What I love about a bike is how you feel in turn versus a car.
