One must walk to a poll station or drive their own car. Third party transportation is problematic.

Tactical battle system, a "final score" system with additional scenes unlocked on repeated playthroughs coupled with quasi-NG+, and rogue-like elements like finite healing items and the ever-present doom/dragon counter.

After that it's 4. Cool world to get enveloped in and explore, combo system, welcome art, and random Fou Lo intermissions. Camera's a bit wonky at times, but eh.

Pow Pow Punishment posted...
Why would pre-fatiguing yourself shortchange the chest in particular? If anything, that's what you would want to do to target the chest. You can't truly isolate the pectorals since your arms have to support the load, so anything to tire your chest out is actually much welcomed.


Because in this example, triceps are the limiting factor. Chest isn't getting fatigued because the triceps already are.

In construction terms, let's say it takes 4 legs and 1 seat to make 1 chair. I felt like having a bonfire last night. I burned 20 seats for warmth and now have 5 left in my possession. And I have 100 legs. How many chairs can I make now?

It's a similar argument towards using straps or mixed grip for deadlifting. If your grip strength is what's holding you back, would you rather work out your back/hamstrings/glutes/whatever afterwards in isolation, or just rock the straps and then do extra grip training?

I don't see people eating less meat going to lower the livestock by a significant amount. Farmers generally sell to disturbors not the person who will eat it.


lower demand leads into lower production. Food waste is an issue, livestock food waste moreso. It's a matter of both culture and economics.

Tmaster148 posted...
Really any major changes to livestock produced CO2 will come from government regulations or innovations in growing livestock.


True. Or, less regulation and more just simply a reduction in agricultural subsidies towards meat production. Meat gets more expensive, demand goes down, supply goes down, methane production goes down. We also make less corn/wheat/etc as livestock feed which cascades into an arena of other effects.

methane from livestock production is most certainly a contributor to the greenhouse effect.

If we ate less meat (and to a smaller extent, also ate less dairy/eggs) it'd help from an environmental standpoint in not only less methane but more fallow areas and carbon sinks and decreased water demands.

You're not doing bench immediate after some sort of tricep exercise, right?

Ideally, compounds such as bench are best done at the beginning of your workout, so you're not as limited when something is fatigued due to an isolation exercise.

It's actually recommended to do compound exercises last sometimes for this exact reason, so you're more tired and can get more out of less weight. Just another thing to try.


By whom? A novice benching 95 lbs ought to bench first. Since the bench press uses both chest and triceps, if one does skullcrushers (e.g.) and then moves onto bench, he's shortchanging his chest. Bench first ensures max out of both tris and chest, and then he can do whatever isolations he feels like.

adult male silverback gorillas weigh anywhere from 300 to 430lb

we're looking at 365 billion pounds of gorilla
if chad apache can lift twice his weight (34k), he can only lift approximately 0.0000093% of the gorillas at once, which is only about 93 gorillas

sorry chad apache, but I think the gorillas got this one


But the lifting motion here is that of a deadlift, not a bench press. Assuming human strength rations, Chad can pick up closer to 150 (if not more) gorillas by mass, although it'll be like the dude who can't hold all those limes.

So... pick 'em up, ascend, drop. Let gravity or thin air do the rest. After about 7 million trips, the gorillas will have lost. Ammo schammo.
