  1. Shinks comparables on draft day were Kane and Parise. Personally, I hope he's more Parise than he is Patrick Kane. Parise plays with much more piss and vinegar than Kane, who's a passenger.

      @Nicklas Bo Hunter, a style comparison does not mean someone is predicting for them to be that good.

      give Shink the hands Patty just used in OT and I'm fine with it

      Patrick Kane is a threat everytime he's on the ice, Parise isn't even close

  2. And that's because the typical 'bro-split' is a horribly, horribly suboptimal protocol for 90% of trainees. Not enough frequency, and then when you do train, the volume is so stupidly high that the muscles need a full week to fully recover. Push/pull/legs and upper/lower/off splits are much better, IMO. Except not. Hypertrophy is localized and your arms will not grow because you're squatting. The reason people need to train with compound lifts isn't because they systemically make you bigger, but because they are brutally hard, and brutally hard is what forces the body to adapt and get bigger and stronger.
  3. Bought my first modern compound bow. These things are freaking sweet.

      Give me a simple english long bow.

      I do love my recurve. Would like to try a long bow sometime, need more practice first!

      Just tuned up the bow myself, cant wait to get some practice in

  4. That anthem singer embelleshed the shit out of those anthems. What a disgrace. Two beautiful anthems (when done correctly) that were utterly murdered.
  5. Those are pretty solid. I'd shove the knees out a touch more to tighten everything up at the bottom, but otherwise very nice. Also, nice shoes. It's nice to see someone actually invest in proper footwear for squatting. ATG is stupid, IMO. It's a way for lifters to have a superiority complex with no justification. Simply because their squatting style is harder. Yes, it may be, but harder does not always equal better, this case being a shining example. In addition, to squat that deep, tension under the bar in sacrificed, specifically tension in the adductors and hamstrings which help anchor the back angle and provide the 'bounce' out of the bottom. Most ATG squatters I see bounce off their knee joints out of the hole instead of tensioned muscle mass. Which seems like the better long term plan to you?
  6. Is Duncan Keith drunk? I don't think I've ever seen him play so terribly.
  7. Gotta love Parise. High skill guy who plays with a ton of piss and vinegar.
  8. Neidereiter was acquired for Clutterbuck and a 3rd...That makes me want to vomit, the Nucks could have matched that deal

      Like omg, seriously Nucks, put your head on straight!

      (...and every other team in the league that could've got him / sarcasm / calm down)

      I'm not upset, it's just that flipping Hansen for Neidereiter last summer would have been a nice start to a retool and youth infusion. Either way, looks like he's going to be a player.

      Wicked wrister. Hopefully Jensen has the confidence to rip it top shelf like El Nino.

  9. It's essentially the same thing. Start super light with sets of 25 and slowly add weight and reduce reps each week. The thing with backs is that they don't get better with rest, they get better by being work. Unless you have pain radiating down one or both of your legs, you should be okay to squat. Squat to depth, start LIGHT, and progressively overload. Also, given you history of back injury, be extremely strict on not allowing your lower back to lose extension under load. You are massively oversimplifying this. The tiny bit of casein protein in milk is not going to suddenly slow the absorption of whey by orders of magnitude. In addition milk has whey protein in it and more importantly, luecine, the amino acid that is the greatest trigger of muscle protein synthesis. Do you also think the post workout 'anabolic window' is only 30 minutes?
  10. Boston has been able to survive trading away 3, yes 3 first liners in the last 13 years because they have this guy named Chara. Also, that Seguin deal doesn't happen if the B's don't acquire Soderberg who's quietly been one hell of a free agent signing with 45 points this season playing third line minutes.
  11. Douglas Murray is a TERRIBLE defensemen. His horrid skating means that he's always playing in his zone, which coincidentally, is where the opposition scores. Hockey is a game where the best defense is to play offense. Successful teams don't have Douglas Murray type players on their roster for a reason.
  12. You sadistic bastard. Those are a great option, but I still think D3 would be better off following the Starr protocol for his back. Yes. I've also found that whey doesn't dissolve in milk as well in milk as it does in water.
  13. Montreal has the series lead, but they've been absolutely outplayed in every game. If Carey Price slips just a little bit the B's win this series.
  14. The problem with stay at home defensemen like Murray is that if they are 'staying home' and 'playing defense' it means the other team has the puck in your end...a lot.
  15. Why above parallel? This is what it looked like. Could have used a fraction of an inch more depth, maybe.
  16. Squatted a 10lb PR today by hitting 375.
  17. King Henrik not looking good tonight.

    1. Brad Marchand

      Not like the rest of his team is playing any better.

      Nope, but Flower won that game for the Pens. Rangers carried play all game.

  18. Ryan Suter is incredible. He's a legit #1 who doesn't have outlier size like Chara or Weber. He was a HUGE part of why the Preds were a playoff team during him time there.
  19. Get outta here Avs with your terrible puck possession and unsustainable shooting percentage. Fancy stats crowd wins this round.
  20. Only in the playoffs can you have a back alley brawl and the instigator will end up with the advantage.
  21. If the NHL had the attachments to enforce the rules as written, Thornton, Burns, King, and Quick should all be suspended for Game 7.
