It would "work" in terms of getting you access, but would not work if you get fare-checked since you would likely need ID proving you are eligible for a concession fare. Is that risk worth it? That's up to you to decide. Amazing how people will always find ways to circumvent the system... Then they'll probably turn around and complain about Translink's shortcomings and budget.

Get a back scrubber! Will be the best investment you've ever made!

It it centrally located over the spine? Or off to one side? Leg presses can be deathly to the back. I personally can never do them without seriously hurting myself. Some people's biomechanics just aren't built for it, and the leg press will transfer all that weight onto the low back. DEFINITELY avoid this exercise in the next couple weeks. This isn't something where you really go to a doctor for. Your mistake is continuing to put stress on the area when something is clearly wrong. It's not rocket science, if it hurts, don't do it. For now, I'd just recommend a week of rest with a standard ice/anti-inflammatory regime for the next 48 hours. If your condition does not improve, I'd recommend seeing a physiotherapist. Other exercises that do not involve the low back and are symptom free, you can still do.

Apologies for the ambiguity. My post was directed at the poster's notion of 5k runs and their potential for him/her to lose mass, in which case the body's signals are sufficient to account for calorie balance.

The only way you'll lose muscle mass from cardio is if you starve yourself. If you follow your body's cues (i.e. hunger), you should never lose weight. I would rather you tackled it starting at 3 days then progress up to 5 if you can handle it. Much like weight lifting, it's better to start off light than too heavy. The last thing you want is to be overly fatigued and put in sub-par workouts.

It really depends on what sort of training you're after and what type of splits you're doing. I see no issue with a two-hour workout given they're taking two hours for the right reasons.

I would strongly consider hiring a personal trainer or going to the gym with a friend who knows what they're doing. While it's important to know what to do at the gym, it's loads more important to know NOT what to do. Every time I hit the gym I see people doing the dumbest things, and it's quite laughable how people are so willing to sacrifice technique to say they lift x amount of weight. Not only do they cheat themselves, they absolutely destroy their body. It's important to progress properly and learn basic lifting techniques first before progressing into any sort of training regime. I would start there... Even before worrying about the whole nutrition side of things.

Congratulations on cutting the weight, that is by no means an easy feat. Have you had any experience with weight training before? Be honest, because this is fairly important before finding a starting point. With regards to gaining weight, yes you will over time. Most of it to start will be fluid retention, but you will put on lean mass after 8 or so weeks of training regularly. There's a huge difference between lean mass vs body fat though... Essentially, it's a good kind of weight.

Can you describe the pain + be a little more specific with the location? Would you say it's a sharp, shooting, dull, or ache-type of pain? Does it radiate anywhere? Do you have it doing any other movements (if so, what?)? Does it hurt to touch over the area where the pain occurs? I would hold off on foam rolling until you can get it properly diagnosed. The last thing you want to do is add more inflammation to an already injured area. Even without knowing what the problem is, it would be a good idea to refrain from aggravating activities and begin an ice/anti-inflammatory routine ASAP.

Those dreaded words... "I think we need to take a break."

Would you rat on someone who has legitimately done ZERO work on a term assignment? This includes not showing up for data collection, meetings, or doing an assigned part.

I think what would have worked best is to be proactive. If the person is not contributing have a 3 warning system.. 1) warning group tells person to contribute or else. 2) If person does not comply group has vote on whether to kick out person from the group. 3)Last chance prof gets involved decides how to handle the situation.

... Not sure if serious....

Does there come a point where we're allowed to feel bad for the Oilers?

Here we go again... Apparently the same problem yesterday is back again. https://twitter.com/TransLink

Accident at Imperial/Patterson. Detoured via Central Blvd, Willingdon, Kingsway, Boundary, 49th. Technically on a detour, the bus driver is supposed to let you off on "parallel" stops, but sometimes they don't (in which case, you must ask them).

The only thing worse than group assignments is professors who truly believe they hold any value at the undergraduate level.

I was blessed when I went to post-secondary that I had the same group members for 2 years. We developed really good chemistry and always did a great job on our projects and presentations.. couldn't imagine doing it with different people all the time. I probs would of dropped out without their support

I get what you're saying Denguin but I have to say, the two people that do the work are the ones that get the job at the end, and the ones that float are the ones that complain they have a BA and can't find a job. Job interviews in today's corporate world weed out the floaters. As a former guy who ended up doing all the work, I agree it sucks dirty balls, and there is no lesson for you, the lesson is for the people you worked to get a decent grade for.

Have no fear, the rain will save us mid-week.

I will welcome the upcoming rain with open arms, that's for sure.

Cooled down for me, but then I made the bright decision to play some video games... Computer heated my room right back up to 27 degrees .

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a family pet... I've been separated from mine for a few months and I'm already dying inside. Not completely my dogs... But here's the husky-cross and sausage I've been living with the last couple years:

Man that is loud. Definitely had a strike a kilometre or two near my house. Whole thing shook.

What does your friend do? Okay, let's analyze his post again from the standpoint that he's not trolling, shall we? Nevermind, I can't do it.... You can't in any way defend someone who says, "I invested ____ in university, I'm ENTITLED to get _____ and employers should be at my mercy".
-
Okay, now I'm beginning to think this thread is just a troll scheme. And looking at your profile, it seems you try to get CDCers to do your assignments for you. I guess taht's the innovative, honest, good-hearted and strong-minded part?
