Re: WHAT IS THIS EXCERCISE CALLED? ... I am not really sure, but I do this a few days a week for my Tri-ceps!
Seated dumbbell tricep extension. I am by no means an expert. Some friendly suggestions… Id recommend going a full extension…unless you have mobility issues. As far as reps and sets, it depends what your goals are. I have an 18 week program. I do 3 sets of 12 all the same weight for 6 weeks.the next...

Re: Hollywood blockbuster poll! Which movie are you going to see this weekend?
Saw MI7 the other night. Enjoyed it quite a bit. First one I’ve liked since ghost protocol. The plot gets a bit convoluted but the practical stunt work is fantastic.

Re: What's your take on George Harrison?
He wrote some really great songs and had a pretty unique style. Probably my favorite is “I want to tell you”. It has one of my favorite lyrics But if I seem to act unkind It's only me, it's not my mind That is confusin' things I love the philosophic approach of the lyrics. The fact that the words we...

Re: Why does everyone here seem to hate rich people?

Getting older and going to shows
Ever since the end of pandemic, been going to a lot of shows. I’ve come to hate standing room/general admission shows. Part of it is I had a really bad accident a couple years back that put me out of commission for a few months. Now, my back can’t tolerate standing for long periods of time on hard f...

Re: What makes bands sound "dated?"
Thanks for the replies. Considering all that, what would a band nowadays have to do to keep from sounding dated in the future? In my opinion, it's keeping things as "natural" as possible. Right now, in particular, pop music and even in metal to a large degree, everything is anesthetized. A...

I look at this the same way I read negative reviews on Amazon or Yelp. Look for patterns. If it's the same thing coming up over and over again, there's probably some truth in there. This guy is a bit of a loose cannon. He's been out of control assaulting people. He's had several sexual assault alleg...

I've been thinking about this lately and the other post about bands that aged well or didn't age well got me to pose the question.
