Mo Rivera being honored by the Red Sox...at least there is one classy Boston sports team
-
Sauve recalled? He's either been really good in a small sample of games, or one of Garrison, Hamhuis, Edler is hurt

The Cards chances of getting back in this game just took a very serious blow after that inning ending double play

Taxi is a smart man. You NEED to gain some weight back. I'm very much in favor of tracking everything that you eat in a day by using a food scale to measure the intake of everything you eat, and myfitnesspal to track your daily intake. Continuing to cut to ~10% bodyfat at your height and weight is a fools venture. You would end up suppressing you metabolism pretty horrendously through a combination of reduced cals and the lots of cardio and just thus making a complete mess of things for when you start to bulk. Sidenote: lots of low intensity cardio is actually a horrible way to go about things when trying to lose fat. Your metabolism becomes dependent on the low intensity cardio to maintain your weight after 3-4 weeks so it's overall, not a great option as the ONLY option to get things moving again is to do more...which isn't a good option. HIIT intervals are a much better option from a metabolic standpoint, and they actually improve cardiovascular function.

You hold your breath when straining because it increases intra-abdominal pressure allowing you to push harder. In addition, the increased intra-abdominal pressure helps protect the spine, something I think you'd want to do if you lift anything remotely heavy. As stated before, the valsalva (holding breath while straining) isn't actually dangerous so don't worry about it. I agree, with two caveats: 1: you need to be able to squat 275 to depth for a set of 5. 2: don't go over 35% of you 5RM squat when doing good mornings.

After a strong 11-2-1 first week, Burrows Finger Bites is looking like it will get a healthy drubbing this week. Frack

Good to hear. It's amazing what gaining 30-40lbs of (mostly) good weight does for how you look. Will you look how you want? No. Will others (especially the women) think you look much better? Yes. My recommendation would be to do the Starting Strength (google this and Mark Rippetoe) linear progression while eating lots and drinking a decent amount of milk. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can go from "weak" to "not fracking around" territory.

Getting off work at 3:30 am, EST gives one a different perspective on things

If you're the immediate gratification type, trying to get big won't be for you. It takes years, not months. This is a long, slow grind but I think it is worth it. You can make very solid progress in a year, but what actually happens, and what you expect to happen will most likely not match up. . IMO, you'd be best served by spending 6-12 months getting strong in the basics (squat, bench, deadlift) and then start adding in more assistancy (lifts that cannot be infinitely loaded) type stuff. Best of luck and keep it up.

just realized Stanton has a cap hit of 550K for this year and next...probably explains why Gillis claimed him. Cheap (stupid cheap given his production) on his ELC. If he keeps up this level of play this year and next, his

Ryan Stanton. How in the world did Chicago let this guy go on waivers?. Solid player who is pretty polished in the offensive zone for a defensemen
-
just watched Makaveli's Embellishment City videos. Goddamn, those are pure gold. The absolute BEST is when the Boston commentators call out their own team for flopping.
-
Tanev should get a shot on the PP. He now has a slapper and I'd love to see him feed Garrison for one-timers

Dale Lamontagne @Dale_Lamontagne 1h Nail Yakupov: I really don’t like skating all the time, and forechecking, and hitting somebody every shift. I don’t think it’s my game

Which can lead to serious bad habit development. I wasn't convinced of the ROI on sending him back to junior instead of keeping him with the club.

The lack of secondary scoring is so glaring...
Henrik Kesler replied to Lui's Knob's topic in Canucks Talk
Thank you, it needed said. The Canucks absolutely dominated last night and could not buy a freaking bounce. Montreal leaned on Price a lot to keep from getting smoked. -
For bulk vs. cut, it depends on where you are currently at. So what are your current stats (height & weight)?
-
Whether you want to or not, when performing a heavy lift you WILL perform a valsalva. Don't fight it because it is a protective measure for the spine, and it does not cause stroke issues: http://startingstrength.com/index.php/site/the_valsalva_and_stroke Holding your breath (valsalva maneuver) is a natural reaction when under strain. You do it subconciously when pushing out a poop. Contrary to what some less than smart Dr's would have you belive, it isn't actually dangerous (see above link).

Canadiens were a counter punch team that absolutely relied on goaltending for the win tonight.

Shouldn't there be some onus on Hertl to avoid a hit he can see coming? I mean caman this is becoming nonsensical

Scotch is growing on me. The smokey smoothness is a nice change of pace from the bourbon burn I love so much

For bourbon I have a bunch of different ones I love (Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey 101, Old Grand-Dad 100 proof, Eagle Rare, Elijah Craig 12 year to name a few).
Currently drinking McClelland's single malt Islay. Not the best scotch, but definitely not horrible either. Noticeable smoke and peat which is a beautiful change of pace after a high rye, high proof bourbon.

Carbs are NOT the enemy and keeping them low while trying to lose fat is asinine IMO. Losing fat is all about being in a calorie deficit (taking in less than you burn). The ONLY reason you should be doing low carb while losing weight (assuming protein intake is 1-1.25 g/lb bodyweight as that is all you need) is if it helps with compliance.

Hertl scored 4 goals with just 11:12 of ice time. How is that possible?
-
I'm just hoping San Jose scores all of their goals for this week in one game. Dear lord

Edler and Bieksa paired up. Not good
