Big thumbs down to those who think that riding an elephant is cool. These people are not animal lovers.

I recently watched Arcane thanks to your recommendation. It was brilliant. I’ve never watched a cartoon like it. It was so good it almost didn’t feel like a cartoon. Brilliant storyline, stunning animation and the characters were superb.

I only found out last night that series 2 comes out next month. The trailer sets it up nicely!

Man, I deleted FB 3 years back and the only reason I set a new profile back up was so that I could sell things on Marketplace.

Even then I still had people try to re-“friend” me, which I just find quite odd. This includes people I might have met once before or those I hardly speak to anymore. I think, without uncertainty, apps like Facebook have dumbed down the meaning of the word ‘friendship’. It’s quite a sad state of affairs. Also, the idea that people think that others want to see pictures of what they ate for dinner last night is also fucking cringe.

The body might be able to physically perform 100 squats a day, but the question you then need to ask is whether that is going to stimulate muscle growth and is it going to have an adverse affect on your joints in the process.

I’ve read plenty of information that suggests it’s better to train muscles with a couple of warm up sets and then complete 1-2 working sets on those muscles to absolute failure in order to stimulate muscle growth, growth of which then happens over the following days. This has worked well for my training.

It depends what your goals are, or course, but if it’s to grow the muscles, why overtrain them unnecessarily, which can potentially lead to more chances of damaging your knees (or other joints) in this instance, when you can stimulate the muscle growth with a maximum effort load, say on a leg extension machine in this instance, then rest with a good diet and sleep and then return again to that exercise in 4-5 days time and repeat.

Personally, I think it’s a fools errand doing things like 100 lunges and pushups a day. Each to their own, however.

I get the sentiment, but I understand training the same muscle groups too often is counterproductive as you aren’t giving them time to recover.

I’ve just started reading this. I have high expectations!

I know what you mean. I’m still reflecting on this with sadness…and I’m a Brit!
