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: Why does everyone here seem to hate rich people?

Welp...was wrong on my prediction. I thought Gane would be able to stay at range better. One mistake is all it takes.

Sad to see Valentina go down. She'll bounce back and get the belt back soon enough.

He's lost the creativity he exhibited earlier in his career and his wrestling has been mostly non-existent lately. On top of that, he's fighting after 3 years off, putting on 50 pounds, in a five-round fight agai...

Steve seems to be the main guy from that generation who’s taken on the elder statesman role and supporting the new generation on musicians. He’s played with many new bands and there’s great video of him having very young musicians come to his studio and hang out or bring them up on stage.
