yeah it's pretty dumb. bodybuilding contest where you are not in a wheelchair yet don't need to show half of your body's musculature. and no formal posing, just take an idiot coolguy posture and smile

I'd definitely pay to see that. In the hierarchy of getting H&Fers into comps, it's a bit behind getting G4S into that face slapping competition, but not by much.

Pro bodybuilding on right now. Dexter looks even better than he did at the Mr. O. 50 facking years old lol. The greatest ifbb pro bodybuilder of all time ainec. Actually the whole lineup looks way better than last 2 Mr. Olympias.

Cliffs: There's a guy who coaches a bunch of internet famous fitness personalities who are sponsored by Gymshark, among them the very famous David Laid. He solicited sex tapes from a bunch of his (male) clients asking for footage of them banging their girlfriends. The majority were under age around 16-17.

Obviously horrible, but I really want the evolutionary biologist's HOT TAKE on whether or not this constitutes pedophilia from a biological, not moral or legal, perspective. The guy who doesn't like vaccines, is married to an indian woman, and is a fellow alex jones far right nazi conspiracy theory misogynist white supremacist. I forgot what name he wants to be referred to, but he told me there was one I was not supposed to use and I also forgot.

Was it JCOCKDOCKCOCKDOCK?

H&F locked down for COVID-19?

emoken safe?

personally going into hermit mode for next couple of weeks. Massachusetts will be a top 3-4 COVID location in US.

Guess so, feels like not a lot of posting these days.

I've been in USA#083 the last 5 weeks and am heading back to China in 8 days.

Currently no cases up in Alaska. I'm hoping it stays that way for at least 2 weeks so I can go home. I'm working on an Air Force Station about an hour south of Fairbanks. If anyone on the station pops positive the whole station will be in lock down for a while. I am planning on my R&R starting the weekend of 21 March, so anyone who has the virus please stay away until after then.

Here is an opportunity for a hot take: taking kids out of daycare pre-emptively, smart or overreaction?

overreaction: 3 confirmed cases in the state, none in our county
smart: confirmed cases doesn't reflect the spread very well, likely many people have it already (mild cases plus non-confirmed cases)
middle ground: wait until X cases confirmed and/or school closures

Isn't the coronavirus zero percent to kill a child? Maybe don't take them to the beach either because of sharks and killer brain amoebas.

I think the only think we can do is tell old people to stay at home and offer to do their shopping.

I mean, it is for sure unethical and irresponsible to just let kids get it even if they have a zero percent (can't imagine it's 0%) risk of death. But, yeah, right now it's probably still quite unlikely they'd get it. It's trying to figure out that threshold that I'm asking about.

2 deaths? 30 official cases? 100 official cases? Anyway, seems schools should close at some point and seems unlikely the system with massive incentives for staying open will do that at a point that is optimal.

I just looked this up, youngest person to die from Coronavirus is 36.

Lock up your kids yugo, don't let them out.

I'm wondering now that my knee pain has cleared up, should I use voodoo floss when I'm putting weight on the bar? I've got the mobility wod bands I'm gonna start flossing with, thoughts on whether to use them during weighted squats appreciated. Also any tips for knee health in general

Yugo,

You don't pull your kids out for their safety. Not even really for your own. The reason is they'll give it to other kids who will eventually give it to others including olds. This is problem.

No matter what, tens of millions are going to get this. The goal is to have those cases spread out over as long as possible. This will put less strain on the health care system, so that people who need ICU beds and medical care can get it. If everyone gets it at the same time, then you end up in a situation like Northern Italy where docs basically have to just pick who dies because there aren't enough ventillators for everyone.

If we could spread all COVID-19 cases over 6 months that's way better than 3 months.. And 12 months would be better than 6 months. The longer the better.

The way we do this is by social distancing, which includes shutting down daycares.

Loco - Please see what Melkerson wrote - that is why it's unethical.

I should have made it clear I'm not very concerned with my kids. Maybe for myself since the last couple of years I seem to be susceptible to bronchitis - and my wife does have a history of asthma when she was younger.

But mainly it's because it's irresponsible to to increase spread if I know better.

Khalyn - You can if you think it feels good. But I doubt there will ever be evidence anything like that actually helps protect your knee. Load management has by far the most evidence in terms of injury rate. So, that would mean, adding intensity and volume gradually in your program and never doing RPE 10 (unless at a meet) - probably hanging out in RPE 6 or 7 for a while as you slowly increase volume and weight and then ending up at RPE7 or 8 for almost all sets.

KY - I think I already posted this but it's going to likely be the most accessible material based on the best evidence available in terms of managing pain when lifting - https://www.barbellmedicine.com/blog...ining-what-do/.

Melk - so in your view, is pulling your kids out very helpful or just wait until daycare closes on its own? My feeling is that once schools actually shut down here it will be at least 1 or 2 days later than it really *should* have been (see Wuhan and Italy lockdowns - both would be/have been MUCH more effective even a day or two earlier) - or are individuals making a difference pulling their kids out beforehand? The thing is, having people pull out individually only shuts down a few transmission links so it sort of seems like it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Wow, Dow Jones at 21000. Total meltdown.

Trump restricts travel from Europe. Wat. If Rudy Gobert and Tom Hanks have it, it must mean over 10000 people in US have it. Restrict travel from Europe? Next, finish building the Wall so it doesn't come in from the South.

This is nothing to worry about, I will be buying, buying, buying me some Dow. But when the real killer virus comes, might be game over for all of us. I got a couple N95 respirators on their way for the next one.

Making your kids into little Typhoid Marys is generally frowned upon.

Muchos gracias Yugo!

I'll experiment with the bands in the rack see what feels right

KY - np np. Kick ass man! (slowly and steadily)

Loco - Yeah, well, this isn't going to break the world or human race. But it still is pretty damn bad. Would be nice for it to be less bad than more bad .

Worse than 2008? Experts seem to expect so.

Poor Chinese hygiene and medieval understanding of how diseases work are literally causing a financial collapse.

A kid costs $0 to make x 0% chance to die

I think pulling your kids out even if the daycare stays open is still the right thing to do for a couple of reasons

1. It does minimize spread a little, even if just by a couple of potential carriers

2. It sets an example and may induce the daycare to do the right thing faster. The more people pull their kids out, the quicker they're likely to close.

I just heard about a large restaurant group in Seattle closing a a bunch of locations for a couple of months because their business dropped so much it was not worth staying open. Pressuring the daycare the same way is probably beneficial to a small extent.
