First attempt at benching 2 plates. 4 reps feels pretty good

Congrats! I can feel the seething jealousy coming from a certain Minnesota basement as we speak.

4 repping 225? Nice! Seems like you should continue to lift and stuff, .

Why would Cha be jealous?

If you mean me, believe it or not I have access to his weight tracking spreadsheet. And I cannot say I feel any jealousy, . I'm sure I will if he was able to trend down for a few months but that hasn't happened (yet).

lol at "holding their value" as a selling point. Who the f*ck is such a poor that they sell second hand phones?

This is simply amazing.

I've had two HTCs as my last two phones and have never had a problem. (Note: I have about 5 apps on my phone).

Haha yeah should just not quit anymore.

And touché Yugo . Now that summers over should be better though

Currently posting from a HTC One M8. Zero complaints, fave Android phone so far.

Can't tell. Looks like possible good from far/far from good problem.

Yeah, I've got the HTC One and before that had the HTC Desire. Fairly good chance I will get the M8 (uwotm8) or whatever they have when my contract expires in a year or whatever.

Because it's been a while since we've had a picture of a hot chick holding a fish:

Rusty, what's the best way to change a tire that has a really tight bead on it? I must keep pinching it between the lever and the rim when I pop the last part back on, but I can't see a way to prevent it.

: LONGFIN!!!!

Just ate some pretty under cooked pork chaps. Nice eknowing you all

I thought it was dog season.

undercooked pork is fine, unless its bush meat

Some tire/rim combos are really tough.

So the really pro trick is kind of hard to pull off. Down the centerline of most wheels, there is sort of a divot. You put the far side of the bead into this divot and it can make it easier to get off/on.

Some rim tapes (especially, unfortunately, the good ones) are pretty thick and can a) give you less room to work with and b) fill this divot somewhat.

Before you use a level to try to get the last bit in, make sure the tube is sort of "in" the tire as much as it can be. It'll probably help if the tube is inflated just a little.

If you really can't get it to work, get a bead jack. Actually get one anyway (they're cheap), use it at home, and curse your lack of one when on the road.

FWIW I find the kevlar bead tires easier to get off/on and they also fold so you can carry one with you on really epic rides.

Sntich, I would rather you call me poor (mildly true) and cheap (true) than ever have to hear one of your god awful New Zealand politics stories again.

CB, nobody got dead from porks since the bible times. You're good.

MortalWomb, not clicking! My dog caught a possum yesterday. That mf played possum. SO stereotypical. Possum privilege imo.

Except:

This. At least in first world countries.

Today at cf gym I complained about some knee pain and a coach said it sounded like IT band syndrome. He gave me a lax ball to roll my glute some which actually seemed to help some but it still hurt later on so I just did some research on my own. Came across a Starrett vid that sounds exactly like what I have. Weak glutes and knee cave when squatting. I never realized I had weak glutes until people had commented on my deadlifts over and over, and the squatting thing is something I've noticed recently more and more.

Anyway, I'm dumb. Time to do the exercises he lists in this vid

I just started doing some lower stretching and mobility. I'm doing it to improve my bench. Best of luck to you, sir!

doubt your glutes are weak, but mobility work isn't gonna hurt or anything.

Yeah I dunno, but that's what many people say when they watch my DL videos. I know nothing.

downton with a nicethatsnice gifbomb about a standard pokerhand I see.
Too bad it was too much for my iphone to handle and it exploded. Let's see if apple ships me a new one.

KY, sucks to have your 88% equity not hold up at a tournament final table but what can you do. WP.GG. Better luck next time etc.

Biggest beat in that hand is the indian lag getting dealt AKs and have someone else be dealt aces, though.

pummi has anyone ever beat you up at a poker table or do you not play live ever

A rare occurance but I have sometimes folded my hand or lost in a showdown, yes.

live? lollive.
actually, no lollive, could be fun but there's basically no casinos in these parts.
I once played live in england but it was a tournament and it was boring.

A tweaker finds live poker boring? I think I've contracted a severe case of the vapors.
