Soccer is just Ulama with less skill.

FYP

says the condescending douche?

only to astroturfers and meanyheads

Playing golf yesterday with this guy and somehow we started talking about working out. I mentioned my buddy pulled his groin trying to squat 585 the other day and he said "there's no reason to ever squat heavy, your legs are endurance muscles and get enough workout from just walking around".

I did imaginary facepalm and let it go.

Translation: heavy squats are hard and I don't want to do them.

That's hardcore.

lol soccer

seems like you always have to be glued to the screen watching soccer even though it's 98% boring ****

with futbol en los Estados Unidos you only need to watch for like 5 seconds at a time and like 50% of the plays something exciting happens. you can use the down time to dip your McDonald's fries in ranch and tweet about the game.

Discussion between fans of different sports about which is the best one to follow is always super interesting, and the conversion rate is through the roof.

It's alright brah, you'll always have cross country skiing

No one's gonna take that away from us, not while a single Nord is still alive!

+1 for the football vs football discussion always gets ******ed

*starts ******ed imo.

Actual translation: I have a vagina, and think I lost my balls up in it somewhere.

Squatting heavy ass weight likely guarantees injuries that you wouldn't get otherwise.

diving is also an occurrence in basketball and the NFL

What I find most disturbing in the soccer vs USA sports are better debate is that IMO the most compelling argument for soccer sucking is that soccer players are huge pussies and they are always flopping around and pretending to be hurt from the tiniest amount of contact (or often no contact at all).

However, it seems every year 'flopping' or 'simulating' is getting worse and worse in basketball, at the college and pro level, and it has even started to encroach into American football. To the best of my knowledge it has not made its way to hockey yet, so there is hope I guess. I just wished I liked hockey a little better.

gg ggo's. its fine

Had a brotastic spot request yesterday.

"Hey can I get a spot on the bench?"
"Sure"
"Okay, thanks. I'm gonna do 5." (225 on the bar)
"K"
"I think I can probably get 3 on my own. You are gonna have to help me a lot. I just gotta get 5...no matter what"
"....." (not sure if srs?)

He gets 3 himself, fails hard on the 4th, I give him > 50 lbs of help, and he proceeds to go down for another rep, same thing but worse. Just as he said would happen.

I mean, I realize this is standard bro behavior, but do they actually plan it out like that? I kinda assumed that they just tricked themselves into believing that they got all the reps without help. Self-aware bro status?

The frequency of flopping in hockey is inversely correlated with how concussed Sidney Crosby is feeling

I played soccer through college. None of my college coaches had us do anything in the gym. We fended for ourselves, mostly because he felt we were in good enough shape (military) and he wanted us to work on skills. Kind of wish he knew about SS type stuff back then. At least he didn't have us doing silly stuff like that.

On a different note, I still look up when I squat. It seems to work for me and don't want to screw something up now.

Holy mother Mary, the gym was more packed today than a Rolling Stones concert on a goodbye tour. I was power cleaning and deadlifting behind the smith machin and was taking rests on a bench nearby. Bro asks me if I'm using the smith machine. I *LOL* and say, "do I look crippled to you? No that machine is useless dead weight. It's always better to use free weights." He says, "yeah.... I know, but I'm lazy." I just kind of open my palms and shrug, "OK." I'm thinking, "WTF are you doing here in the gym then, if you're being LAZY?" It turns out, he was going to shrug too.

Second GGO is kinda more LOL. After I finished deadlifting and stripping the weights, I put the bar on the seated press station along with the clips. As soon as I place the bar, a skinny bro comes and picks it up. The moment - and I mean literally the moment he puts his hand the bar, his jacked training partner bro yells at him with the Picard-style, wtfisthis****.jpg hand gesture from the power cage (he was doing squats), "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE'S STILL USING THE BAR!" Poor kid looked terrified in a "oh God oh GOD - I ****ed up and pressed the wrong button" kind of way. I tell him it's OK. I'm done, take it.

Yes. They think the spotter's job is providing assisted reps.

No. A loon in the crazy ward always thinks he's perfectly sane.

1st one you sound like a tool.

2nd one is good imo
