Randomness thread, part two.

I kinda wanna start working out.

but then again I kinda wanna start doing a million diff things. Why are there so few hours in the day?

Speaking of which, Im in class with this girl that is an insomniac, and its crazy hearing her talking about it. She sleeps for like a couple of hours a week. But she gets migranes a lot because of this, so I guess that sucks.

all u need is like 2 hours a week

back when i was at my lifting peak my workouts lasted 15 minutes, and i did between 7-14 a week. u cud easily do the most u should do in like 3-4 workouts a week lasting 20-25 min each

[boost]

Revolver is a guy ritchie movie that kind flew under the radar, I really liked it though even though it was a bit muddled.

I know these arent exactly the same types of movies, but old john woo/chow yun fat stuff out of hong kong is the shit. Like hardboiled, a better tomorrow, and the killer.

Also a movie that I have yet to see in its entirety: Chopper. Its an aus flick that has a bit of a cult following, I think its definitely in line with the guy ritchiesque stuff youre looking for.

Oh and Natural Born Killers is an awesome movie, even if its a bit off topic.

[will641]

I need some cool movies to watch, this week I finally saw Snatch, Lock Stock and two smoking barrels, and reservoir dogs

kinda looking for films like this, something from the tarantino genre that's interesting, has some action, and def. a good storyline.

have you seen dirty harry? also i just saw ronin recently and thought that was really good.

[Galapogos]

Yeah Ronin's a quality movie that a lot of people have missed for some reason.

[bigspenda73]

a PSA, New Mexico, despite what is said "might be the best place in the world" in their infomercials, sucks balls.

Heat. classic in the genre, imo.

Jeez, yea, if you haven't seen Heat yet, you're really missing out. That's a classic badass movie.

Heat is sick. If you like those types of movies check out Layer Cake. Pretty good and def the same style as Guy Ritchie, not sure if he was involved.

It's called fitness/fatigue and getting the most bang for your buck

It's called being lazy.

14 weekly workouts each lasting 15 minutes, while ridden with problems from a fitness/fatigue standpoint, is all but ruled out anyway by the logistics alone. I'm assuming that most lifters can't workout at their homes and nothing that GMML has said would convince me otherwise. So getting up to the gym twice a day everyday is impractical and nobody is going to adhere to it. Ok, some people might, but I certainly wouldn't.

Your other recommendation.. 3-4 workouts each lasting 20-25 minutes (I think?) has it's own set of problems. Now first of all, all impressions aside, I'm not one to spend all day at the gym nor do I recommend it. But even 3x25 minutes or 4x20 minutes seems ridiculously short to me, even from a staunch HIT perspective. Not to mention that a new lifter is not going to be able to properly stimulate their body in such a short period of time. There are also other issues to consider, for example coordination on the lifts (practice makes perfect).

The least I could recommend would be something like 2 full body workouts a week. Length of course would be dependent on the person and their goals (and how much they care), but 45 minutes should suffice possibly going on an hour or a bit longer if you include a proper warmup.

I'm curious what you would recommend to a beginner lifter to do in 20 minutes that would be effective, safe, and allow them to practice the major lifts as needed.

3x a week for 45 mins = awesome results with the right diet and cardio outside the gym, of course IMO.

[a500lbgorilla]

re being healthy. Cardio is by far the hardest thing for me. So i just do it as my absolute first thing in the morning. I have running clothes right by my bed. I wake up and im out the door after a piss and some water.

I'm curious what you would recommend to a beginner lifter to do in 20 minutes that would be effective, safe, and allow them to practice the major lifts as needed.

i wasnt recommending doing the two times a day like i did, just an example that short workouts work. it allows for the most intensity on heavy workouts while balancing with light workouts. super high frequency with varying intensity is how olympians have trained for half a century.

motor coordination is overrated inasmuch as it comes quickly. its definitely the biggest boost in progress seen by beginners, but it also sticks around longer than most think. as an advanced lifter, i was able to go for a couple months without a heavy workout on a major muscle group without losing any coordination. coordination will deteriorate more quickly for a beginner, but not in like 5-7 days like popular muscle publications lead us to believe.

short workouts are great since there are a few key exercises that hit everything, and because the large majority of muscle stimulation is in the beginning of a workout. if you put a lot of effort into your first lift of the day then the other lifts are superfluous tinkering. if you're not pooped after your first lift on a heavy day you're doing it wrong, and getting pooped is what stimulates the muscles to grow/get stronger in the first place.

basically, i had no idea what i was doing. i fired up turbo tax and my bill was absurd. this was my first year filing as a small business, and was able to write off a ton more stuff than i knew of or expected. stuff i bought 2 years ago was still okay to write off last year with some deprecation value... the ftr vegas trip, blue man group tickets, another vegas trip, etc etc. she gave me advice for this year too so i plan on doing a lot of traveling/road trips with some business mixed in.

[bigspenda73]

aight so "Heat" looks pretty badass, loading that up now

Just watched "Blow" with Depp and P. Cruz. I had always heard a lot of good stuff about the movie but never managed to see it. I was always surprised it's rarely shown on mainstream cable but after watching it I guess I see why. Overall it was pretty good, hard to go wrong with Depp but his range wasn't even stretched that far throughout the film. Definitely a good movie.

[UG]

you will really like (if not love) Heat, great movie

[ATOTHEC101]

Watch 'in Bruges' with colin farrell, of a similiar vain to lock stock, snatch etc and just as funny.

I just took a 20-30 minute or so nap and had some really weird and wild dreams.

I mention this because based on my understanding, this is weirdly abnormal (to have intense dreams in such a short sleep cycle).

most of my work is through ftr yes. i have some other consulting/crap shit that i do but it isn't much. basically i just manage people and projects (a lot of the behind the scene ftr stuff) and go to amsterdam/barcelona/vegas and party with the admins. can't really complain.

plus i get to write off a lot of stuff since i'm considered my own business.

[bigspenda73]

spenda seems like you've missed alot of good movies.

def. I blame an uptight upbringing that blocked channels like mtv from the TV until I was 16. I'm quickly making up for lost time, so keep the movie suggestions coming!

[swiggidy]

Traffic (and keep ignoring my suggestions you prick)

[bigspenda73]

what else had you suggested besides four rooms

I've watched half of heat, gonna watch traffic but I have a feeling I've seen it

[swiggidy]

That was it, asshole

/sobs in corner while sucking on thumb

[bigspenda73]

K I've def. seen traffic, pretty good, I'll see if I can find a good stream of four rooms.

four rooms was meh. iirc, 2 of the rooms were really funny and 2 were meh. the last room is the best imo.

wait is he saying level as in blow wasnt good or that he hadn't seen it...?
another really great drug film is drugstore cowboy.

[bigspenda73]

perhaps that 20 posts ago I said I saw it

[boost]

oh, you sure did.

Anyways, once youve got your guy ritchie fix, Id suggest that you check out the coens brothers catalog.

I honestly am not sure where I would suggest you start... I feel like a lot of people dont get the big lebowski on the first watch, so I dont want that to turn you off of the coens films. Im pretty sure that no country for old men or oh brother where art thou would be the best starting point.

[boost]

I am facebook friends with this guy that I used to know from a long time ago. Hes always posting stuff on his facebook status that is about god and jesus and whatnot. Here is an example:

Good Night FB Family. God willing i will talk to you trmr but if he has other plans...know i love you. Live, Love and Learn!

So I just watched religulous, a bill maur documentary about religion, of course. And it got me all riled up so I paraphrased a quote from the movie and put it as my status. Im not sure how I feel about this since is kinda inflamatory, but if people can shove their nonsensical beliefs down my internet throat, then why cant I do the same with my logic based sentiments?

oh and heres the paraphrased quote:

The concept of faith is the idea that forgoing critical thought is a virtue

[Galapogos]

Religulous ftw! Great movie.

[a500lbgorilla]

boost, i dunno why you let this stuff get you riled up. The end is nigh anyway. Just relax and let the warmth of Armageddon wash over you.

[will641]

thats a good quote. my favorite faith quote is by christopher hitchens: "faith is the surrender of the mind."

I was checking out at my grocery store today and used my nifty card that gets me discounts on all kinds of shitty stuff. Anyways, if you register the card online it puts your name on the receipt so the cashier can look at it and say "have a good day Mr. [last name]" So I haven't done that step and today the women looks at me and says good afternoon Mr.... (I'm supposed to give my real last name here) yet I decide to say Wallace b/c I think it's a baller last name.

Got me thinking, if you could choose your last name, what would it be.
