I'm with you there; loved Duran Duran when I was a kid, and I still love Walken and Jones and Moore to this day. But in retrospect even with nostalgia glasses we're squinting past quite a bit with Moore. 😅

Yeah, I'm definitely a fan of this one. Much more complex and spicy (I use rye) than a lemon drop, but still with some sweetness.

No gym for me over the holiday "break", as I was busy moving. But lots of exercise moving boxes and furniture between the last of the packing on Friday & Saturday, actually moving on Saturday, and unpacking since. Dude, you are a monster! The deadlifts make me nearly laugh, though, and wonder...

Exactly my understanding. Yup! Thorin as well (The Daring, or Bold). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dwarfs_in_Norse_mythology

Agreed. This also somewhat parallels the language used to reference the sun in one of the riddles in The Hobbit's famous riddle game. Though in that one the sky and the earth are faces. Bilbo: An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. "That eye is like to this eye" Said the first eye...

Yeah, I think when he was in his period of recommending 4-7 days of complete rest between workouts he was off the deep end, but I do think if you're doing this level of intensity full body you probably need at least a couple of days. A quick google says Dorian Yates (who followed a...

I've always understood that the Mentzer/Yates super high-intensity workout style needs serious rest to go with it. The muscles need more time for recovery as well as growth, and the joints just needs more time to recover, period!

It's been a while since I watched it, but I seem to recall it being Tony's house. Which would make more sense as a place to have his memorial service than some random new place. No signs of 21st century tech aside from his costume, which presumably he wore on his trip back in time? Rides...

If you're smashing yourself, definitely give yourself time to recover and grow. Merry XMas!

It's still great.

Makes a ton of sense to me! I've primarily done calf work just as a bonus on top of leg press sets. So after every set of leg press I'd just change foot position and bang out a set of calf raises. Convenience is a big deal.

Not that I can tell you squat ( :LOL: ), but I just saw Menno Henselmens talking about there being extensive lab evidence that standing (or any straight-leg position, including leg press) calf raises are significantly more effective for calves- that only one part of the calf, the soleus, gets...

Beefcake! Beefcake!
