  1. Yes, Demon... Is one of THE books to read. Cleanses your mind. And I dont see any flaws in Dawkins stuff, I just have better things to do than militantly find religions flaws. Just too much time spend with the whole thing, and why would you if you (Dawkins) dont wan to have anything to do with it ;)

  2. Anyone ever try this or knew anyone who tried it? Looks interesting. Magnusson/Ortmeyer 12 week program.

    edit. For example if thinking deadlift (after this cycle is done, about 1½-2 months.) I would put the projected weight at 135kg. I would start with

    Week 1

    4 4 210 95

    2 2 240 107,5

    1 8+ 210 95

    & end at

    Week 12

    4 4 260 120

    1 2 290 132,5

    1 2 320 147,5

    1 8+ 260 120

    I think that is a good and duable goal. I just did 130kg x 2 last week, so 147,5kg in about January of 2013 seems logical. If the program is worth its salt. Looks good to me :)

    edit. Isnt that some kinda pyramid? Kinda lika 10/8/6/15?

  3. About the masses and religion that cu_bu talked. In Finland there has been alot if people who leave the curch (you can do it online, I did too) and what ever people may think about the religious guidelines or lack of them, they are still quidelines. Meaning (and Im cutting corners)

    A) People are part of the curch just because it is the thing to do

    B) People leave the curch just because it us the thing to do

    In A they had some sort of structure, even if they were going trough the motions. In B they most likely dont because seriously, how many people try to better themselfs mentally? In werstern culture, not too many.

    100% atheists have the same morals, if they havent "become atheists" by just following the pack.

  4. I find out if you just ARE, you can get most out of stuff. If sonething makes you change your beliefs or "lack" of them, the you just adapt.

    I will quote the brilliant late Richard Feynman

    You see, one thing, is I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things but I'm not absolutely sure of anything and then many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask, "Why we are here?" and what that question might mean. I might think about it a bit and then if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer, I don't have to... I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose which is the way it really is as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me." -Richard Feynman-

    And I have been a HC atheist, but not anymore.

  5. Yeah, he was talking about that. He has guys as patients who lift really heavy and almost laugh when he makes them do the band stuff. And when they start shaking from the word go, they arent laughing anymore. Main reason why I went to him (other than being good) is that he has lifted for years and done martial arts. So I dont have to explain to him what a deadlift is :D

  6. Went to the therapeutist. The muscles in my back (small ones etc) that keep the shoulders in the middle etc (I cant remember the correct terms) are too weak compared to the ones that pull them forward (chest etc). Abd also some major tightness in that area and triceps etc. Got good rubber band exercises. One (that I can explain) is lying on your back and the band is in front of you as doing a bench. Shoulders back (they go too much to the front and I slouch) and shoulder blades touching the surface. Then just pull the band at the side while keeping shoulder blades and shoulder back in a good position. That was easy enough, but when I had to do it in an angle (band on top of my forehead)... Jeesus! How weak are these muscles! I was shaking like a leaf and felt burn in the muscles around my blades. Good stuff.

    Long story short. Imbalance in the muscles pulls shoulders front

    edit. Also my chest under the collarbone was TIGHT. And also in my side some thing that is attached to the ribcage, jeesus it was tight. Could breath better after he loosened it.

  7. Thinking about Kyles tips and I came accross the 10/8/6.

    A Look at the 10/8/6 Training System

    My colleague said that the 10/8/6 program is especially motivating for beginners because the fewer reps on the second and third sets enable heavier weights to be used – in effect, it gives the client the illusion of getting stronger throughout the workout. Because extremely low reps (1-3) are performed, and because this is a protocol designed for a beginner, 3 sets are enough for a beginner to make progress.

    Often, a trainee at Bob’s club would use this program for a month and then would move on to another program for variety – sometimes the client would simply add another set, doing permutations such as 12/10/8/6 if they wanted more muscle mass, and 10/8/6/4 if they wanted more strength.

    But I really couldnt find anything else about it... Experiences?
