Avatar The Last Airbender game!



This was really fun, especially speed running it! :P Air attack + air attack + air attack+...


damn... could be why I bombed that interview

Power Poses can help your career

...or prevent it from even happening. GAHH. It's not why I bombed it but certainly part of why, and something I noticed even while it was going on. >< Improve from this, [Makto]!!!

BKB

Continuing on the health train... (Boyles)KnowsBest this time!

Leg lowering, leg raises, firing up the glutes, dynamic lunges & skipping warmup... all that activation is what we did at Boyles! Bahh, so hard to do these in the office gym and not look silly going it alone though. Explosiveness is worth it.

This guy supports farmer's walks. ugh. so difficult. but would definitely spice up my workouts!

Toe touch progression and t-spine exercises! I can't stress enough, BKB! I'd forgotten about all the stuff we did outside of the main lifts. Shame on me. Looks like these things really are for the best, and are the reasons why I went 137->144 in a couple months.

Original BKB (Bydwell) still stands, of course.

Against the (American) Grain

2 Articles I read today that make me AMEN!

About Calories and Thermodynamics: http://www.allouteffort.com/2013/08/the-law-of-calories.html#more
My mom was right all along -- eating too quickly can make you fat! She's always right about these things... "don't drink Gatorade", "sleeping at regular times of night makes you taller" yeah, yeah :) It's all about the TYPE of energy you eat! And why I honestly have always thought that it's a bit silly for people to be so obsessed with counting calories, the pure numbers without regard to everything else!

On the American lifestyle: http://outofthewoodsfornow.tumblr.com/post/58690475122/aint-no-gyms-here
YUP. The dieting, running, and fitness class obsessed culture of our country is correlated with our huge rates of obesity right? In this sense, we need to find the Middle Way like other countries have. It allows them to be healthier and most importantly, happier! Like Ajahn David always said, "not too much, not too little". (I DO enjoy pushing myself to my limits in regards to rugby though, like how other countries enjoy running around playing futbol from grassroots to ultra-competitive environments. Just get out there and do it! Spontaneously! ...pickupquix app anyone?)

Shark Cat


No tanks this time. Calling it a CatShark reminds me of all the animals in Avatar: The Last Airbender (:

HAPPY SHA(r)K WEEK

I've also been day dreaming (again) of becoming a sc2 pro recently. It's not a glamorous life, but wouldn't it be cool? Haha I'll keep on dreaming. (And I watched Stephano's last game live yesterday woa.)
