Because he is good kid and is a numbers guy. I can’t remember the exact example, but it was something like, if the entire world had the same population density of Japan, we would all fit in the state of Texas.
Should we take a moment to realize how far we've come in such a short amount of time?

I think more than you would expect thanks to our big park: forest park. It’s still the center of everything and the site of the world’s fair with lots of remaining tributes etc. the neighborhoods surrounding it are the old world’s fair type homes. So it’s present. About a year ago we were bored and I drove my daughter around to some of the old historic neighborhoods. Told her about the dred scott trials etc. I’ve mentioned it numerous times that the city doesn’t have a county. Failing to annex $ munis has really had a deleterious impact. So many areas in the city are failing with little hope of preservation much less gentrification.
Jack Dorsey is from the city. And we have lots of old money but no one who has made it their charge like a Dan Gilbert type in Detroit. The enterprise family helps but mostly with sports. They’re basically today’s Busch family. Anyway. I like urban planning type stuff a lot
We need to get back to encouraging walking. Enough of people taking Ubers or cabs for eight blocks. Trek it.
unless you are in a suit and its 85+ degrees or snowing
You put Uber out of business and we'd have how many more on unemployment?
Hard for those drivers to make a living getting paid a few dollars for 20 mins to go 8 blocks in traffic. There's plenty of demand for longer rides.
I park about 8 blocks away. People think I am crazy because there are spots about 1 block away. I am trying to get 12,000 steps a day, and that walk really helps make it possible. I really wish I could run, but I've read about second knee replacements, and no way I want to go through that (at least not for as long as possible).
We have built cities for comfort and the trade-off we all know.
Amen. I'm going for 10K, but I should probably up it.
I just ran a mile for the first time in years.
I walk to work every day unless the humidity is too high as I don’t want to be sweaty. But most days. 12,000 steps is not easy. Takes time
No bike? Cmon Marv. You're living on set of Breaking Away.
Should I add this to my squat rack curls, coach?
Listen. 10,000 steps a day. (Truthfully doing sprints for ten minutes is better). Bench marker. 8 reps at 135. 8 at 185. 8 at 225. Microneedling. And you’ll have no problems
Bench press reps. Then just adjust down.
All joking aside I firmly believe time is the key for I sticking to workouts. If you can get shit done in 20 minutes you are more likely to stick with it. I can do three sets of bench and 3 sets of tris in 15 minutes. Then the next day same with curls and shoulders. Done. Not a big deal. That’s the problem with 12,000 steps. It takes too long.
And of course diet is 98 percent. And I fail there
I would love to bike, I consider it from time to time.
But then I see all of you drive and I switch from wanting to bike to buying an M1A2 for safety. Way too many of you drive randomly, keep them guessing seems to be the official motto.
I agree with time needed. I guess when I go and do that (and have) I feel like I didn't do enough. I try to stay and do at least 15 minutes on the rowing machine or something, for example.
I think one problem is that the gym I go to has zero hot chicks. No reason to hang around and catch glances in the giant mirrors of hot chicks in spandex doing deadlifts with 50 lbs or "bouncing" on the treadmill.
I’ll just add. Don’t f#ck with heavy weights. I’ve known too many dudes who ended up tearing their pecs or biceps because they’re lifting heavy weights in their 40s. My oldest brother just had hernia surgery because he’s an idiot and was still squatting heavy weight.
Also, I’d strongly advise substituting dumbbells for flat benching and all chest workouts. It’s safer. Back in my younger years, I use to rep 5x5 275 on bench. Now, I don’t lift dumbbells heavier than 65 lbs. You just want to maintain strength. Low weight, high reps and don’t worry about going to failure.
That’s really interesting and I disagree. I think dumbbells are harder to control for bench etc. I used to do Arnold’s with them and now don’t even use them for that.
I think you and Snarl need to start an IU fan strongest man competition
Benching will be part of the golf outing. At the turn, whichever team can bench the most weight gets an added point.
we’ll see who can drag shitter by the hair the farthest
As long as you performing surgery for free, I’m in.
I read it from several different people and switched 2 years ago. I feel better and haven’t tweaked anything since I changed. Flat bench was starting to constantly tweak something every couple months.
