If Bedouindunker is right, and it's your birthday, have an awesome day! Hope it's one to remember.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Get Strength Front Squat Harness
« on: August 12, 2011, 07:54:19 am »Your harness does not save time in the learning curve btw., it just lets you get away with shitty control of the exercise. If that is the goal, fair enough.
Huh? Why does it mean he has shitty control of the exercise if the rack position is uncomfortable?

That's some nice progress Jack. Keep us updated on how things go. I did some 531 previously and found it to be good and very time efficient (I wasn't doing any accessory lifts).

Basketball / Re: Kevin Durant going apeshit@~!

Raptors are my fav team (even though they insist on torturing me every year). But honestly that was historically bad defense. Their starting frontcourt was Matt Bonner and Chris Bosh - ouch. They didn't double Kobe all game... you'd think when 1 player is completely torching you at some point you'd say 'hmm, maybe we should double him and make someone else beat us'...but nope not my raptors.
...and FWIW, I wasn't comparing Durants 66 to Kobe's 81.

« on: August 04, 2011, 05:45:29 pm »Still, Kobe dropped 81 in an NBA game against NBA level defenders, coaches, strategies and so on and so forth.
Kobe's 81 was impressive, but who we kidding that was against the Raptor's...and they weren't nba level defenders.

Ouch.

F$%K off old man!!!
....sorry, couldn't resist.
Thanks for the detailed intro. Welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress. Hope you decide to keep a journal here. I'll leave the training suggestions to Andrew and Lance.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Weight loss for people with excuses and without common sense
« on: July 13, 2011, 06:48:29 pm »What I'm saying is your situation is impossible. If something is correct, there cannot be accurate research against it.
So it's possible for there to be conflicting evidence, but one is incorrect and the other is correct?
Well, you would have to look into in more, and see how/why there was conflicting evidence.
I absolutely agree with you. That is why I think it's possible to have a discussion about the evidence that exists...which is really the only point I was trying to make.

That would assume that all research results are in harmony. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Not to mention vast amounts of research that suffer from poor research design and/or interpretation that get accepted as fact. The inherent biases by the researchers, the questions they pose, and how they interpret the results confounds the issue further. Unfortunately, things are not as black and white as they may appear.
If things are still open for opinion/debate, you cannot say people poorly understand something. If someone was to poorly understand something, that is implying there is one right answer.
I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing your logic here. What are you trying to say? That there are no gaps in our knowledge? Or that there is only one right answer?
There is only one right answer
Alright, then let's assume that's true.
Do you believe that there is some research that conflicts other research? Do you believe that there is some research that the results are inconclusive? Do you believe that there is research that is presented as fact despite having flawed designs or interpretations? Do you believe there is some research that fails to demonstrate the desired outcome of the funding group, thus is never published? Do you believe there is research that is passed as fact but has not been able to be reproduced with further studies?
If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, then clearly we do not know it all yet and there is room for some debate as we do not know with 100% certainty what exactly the 'only one right answer' is.
If we assume it's true, there cannot be research that conflicts other research.
I for one think everything I said is true, and that there is no debate. Show me research that shows the contrary, which I don't think you can, and then we can agree that the topic can be debated, even though there is only one right answer, so it's not really a debate, as one guy is right and one guy is wrong, or both are wrong.
Now, if we look at the definition of debate as a noun/
noun
1.
a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints: a debate in the Senate on farm price supports.
Debating on something factual cannot happen. That is like saying there can be a debate between someone who says the sky is blue, and another guy who says the sky is yellow.
So by that logic...if there is any research that has come to conflicting results your whole premise is blown out of the water.

« on: July 12, 2011, 06:44:11 pm »Explain what is poorly understood about it.
I read a lot of research (not just the abstract like it seems 99% of people do) and when you get to the discussion section they always mention that "further study is required" in some aspect. Despite knowing more about human physiology than anytime in the history of the species, it is clear that there are still gaps in our knowledge base.
Facts cannot be debated, so therefore, there is not much to debate. You can't debate something that is either right or wrong. There is no opinion.
