re: a national parks thread

Posted by LemmyLives on 2/25/26 at 11:08 pm to
I had one of those park stamp books.

I think I've been to every civil war site between North Carolina and Vermont.

My favorite bit was, as a kid, was when I realized how much terrain matters in battle.

Mammoth Cave was awesome, Nothing takes the cake of waking up in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and looking out to the west towards the "smoke" though. Free Bird automatically plays when you watch it.
There is a difference between influencers and lifters for females. Joy is on the US national team and is a relatively small girl. Not at all trolling for OF.

Just based on my anecdotal evidence, whatever she picks needs 3-4 months to test. Juggernaut, to me, has too much extended time on speed (10 or 8 rep) segments for Powerlifting, but that's also my bias. I prefer getting under near max weights every week, and doing it regularly.

Have you explored PL gyms (not Lifetime, 24 hour fitness, etc) nearby? If a bunch of unc clones detect a girl wants to get into it, they'll probably help her into a 500lb squat before she graduates.
Does she follow any specific female lifters like Joy Rindfleisch (a bit older) or others? That may provide some clues as to what she thinks will be effective, which may be more important than Soviet style scientific methods, because it's probably mostly mental for her.

Good luck to her this weekend!
Pennsylvania is completely fricked up. It seems like Wisconsin; Madison runs WI, Philly (and I guess Pittsburgh) run PA, even if the rest of the state is fed up with that shite.

Joe Manchin was extremely frustrating, but John McCain will forever retain the title of useful idiot that has bent us over, repeatedly.
That's pretty fair. Conservatives kept playing by "the rules," and got steamrolled over and over. The explosion of social media, so everyone can see the shite people like Gavin Newsom says, also helps enrage us.
She's young, as her technique improves (being more conscious of what her joints are doing in certain positions, etc.) will probably lead to the bigger improvements than any particular program. Learning what to do with my shoulder blades when benching, etc., were where I got big training progress.

I was doing about 30k pounds of volume for each lift, each day, using EliteFTS-ish programming (DE vs ME, etc.) before I competed. I'm a big proponent of how you start with the bar in every set, and add an embarrassing 5% (of max) increases until you get to the work sets (ETA: on bench, but a similarly slow DL/Squat progression once you get above 315). This helps avoid injury, forcing form, form, form, even when you don't need it.

I looked at Juggernaut just now, and ChatGPT told me I should be using it now:

quote:

Juggernaut is better if:
You like structure.
You respond well to volume.
You want predictable peaking.
You compete raw.
You track everything. Which… you absolutely do.

EliteFTS style is better if:
You have glaring weak points.
You stall often on classic linear programs.
You like heavy singles year-round.
You enjoy rotating movements.
You secretly want to own specialty bars.

But:
quote:

The Juggernaut Method is designed for a variety of athletes and focuses on conditioning, making it less specific for powerlifting compared to programs like 5/3/1, which emphasize heavier lifting. While it offers a structured approach with progressive overload, it may not push powerlifters into the higher intensity ranges needed for optimal strength gains


What else have you looked at?

You need to have your system checked for malware. MalwareBytes is a good place to start.

All your programs will need to be reinstalled, because they're not composed of just "files." Your documents and spreadsheets and whatnot can be transferred in many ways, but you need to stop clicking on whatever is flashing in your browser window, and switch to a browser like Brave which automatically block ads and popups.

Idk, when did women get the right to vote and hold political office in Britain?

1918 for chicks over 30, 1928 was 21 and up.

But, it was always going to fall apart. The "caste" system crippled it and created class divisions (London vs the Northern working class.) If you read "The Psychology of Military Incompetence,") most of the examples of failures are British. It reveals a corrosive attitude among the English ruling class.

Every time data centers come up, I point this out. Thousands of systems can be managed with few people on site, and the use of electrical and HVAC contractors that show up once a month.

But nobody tells legislatures and governors this.

The setup process was clean and promising. But once installed the "clean" look actually distracted the hell out of me. It also doesn't automatically block ads, or the page launching additional windows full of ads. Hard pass, back to Brave.
No mention of nuclear. Pure fantasy without it.
