  1. Fun, no (high rep squatting never really is fun ), but doing 100 reps at that weight would be really bad-ass. I've seen a video of someone doing 98 reps @ 218 lbs (bodyweight as well as weight on the bar), but 90k would be pretty close in my book.
    It is torture just watching that 11 minute long video which I downloaded. I will never ever attempt a 100 repper with my own bodyweight. Suicide by squatting!
  2. The republicans have controlled the presidency and executive branch, and at least part of congress, more than 80% of the time in the past 25 years. Their policies have turned our economy and financial system into a banana republic full of white collar criminals and scammers, they've wrapped a ten trillion dollar noose of debt around our families and childrens necks, they've manufactured an endless war in Iraq based on lies that has cost 3 trillion dollars with no end in sight and killed over a million people, they've Walmartized the economy and made jobs our biggest export, they've created a medical system that underinsures or doesn't cover almost a third of the population that is by far the most expensive in the world undermining the competitiveness of our companies and workers, they've created laws that prevent food manufacturers from being liable for creating the obesist and one of the most unhealthy populations in the industrial world. And then the fools scratch their heads and wonder why people lack confidence in the system they've created. We've been down the road of right-wing rule before; another republican presidency could easily drive the country into another republican Great Depression.
    Excellent points RawVgn.
  3. It's nice to see a different viewpoint than the usual liberal stance expressed on this forum.
    veganjosh, you shouldn't stereotype most vegans as liberal tree hugging hippies, unless they're from Portland. My criminal law professor in community college is retired from the U.S. Marine Corps, a retired law enforcement officer from one of the most corrupt brutal big city police departments in the US, a conservative, and a member of PETA. He was one of the few cops I've ever met who's a decent bloke.
  4. For neck strength, Neck Harnesses are inexpensive on ringside.com I got mine for $10 and neck bridges.

    All of these exercises can be done with a neck harness.

    Considering I don't have cable. And I apologize for being out of the loop

    I was wondering what Johan's last post ment

    there was a show called working out. Like Flash Dance without the leg warmers?

    Too cool

     

    It is a reality show on the Bravo network, the women in the picture is an owner of a gym and it just follows the life of the trainers and her.

    I don't have cable, I hate most reality shows, however this one sounds interesting. OF: Personally, I like Supernanny and Wife Swap.
