I can attest to this. May not be the sleekest but you can often sit on them with no worries. And drop them in gravel.

Something I never really got from the summaries on the research is how much training increase they looked at. And what type. I bet going fron 0 to 30 minutes a day would look different than the span 0-120.

Do you BTW have a link to the paper?

Last i saw on this is that there isn't a 1:1 relation between increased calorie burn by increased exercise and total calorie burn. There are some but also the body diverts energy from one task to another. Still the best way to loose weight, maintaining a calorie deficit, is to eat less. Way easier said than done.

Also uphill both ways.

If I expect the mushrooms to release a lot of water then them first. If the mushrooms are much larger pieces than the onions then them first. Else both at the same time cause I'm lazy.

Beans are small eggs. Beans are cheap. Therefore eggs are cheap. Eternal lord-god emperor trump fixed the egg cost. Praise be.

I prefer -esk as it is less refined. A bit crude. Vulgar.

I prefer keelhauling. An awesome word, feels good to pronounce. Like defenestration.

She is unrelenting and unwavering in her fight (slaughter) of demonkind. When others hears them out she begins laying out a plan to destroy them. And what is it she calls them? "Monsters who mimic human speech"

Everyone who is surprised raise your hand.

Well OK then. Capitalism gotta Capitalism

 

After starting hitting the gym and clicking on a few videos (workouts, excercises etc) my feeds started being dominant with science hypertrophy. Probably because one of my favorite home cooks, Adam Ragusea because of his lean on actual published science, did a piece with Renaissance Periodization so cross pollination happened. And then it spiraled from here from the folks RP works with. And now it is so filled with science hypertrophy and that approach to lifting.

Now honestly I don't think I prioritize hypertrophy that much. I do appreciate it. But overall I'm more interested in making sure my body is as strong and athletic as possible so it can weather the ravages of time and daily life.

So I need a bit of help populating my feeds with "strength science lifters" and happily take recommendations. Those I already have are Strength Side (more athleticism and movement though) and The Bioneer (not the most concrete actionable content).

 

Short story: Today after cardio/strength class I casually repped out two sets of three good pullups while testing out grips I just got for myself. 2x3 like it was no big deal. I sure as hell looked flabbergasted after I did it. Just like that. Like it was no big deal.

Long story: I started hitting the gym November last year, especially the various classes offered. Some strength here and there to fill gaps and doing something productive while waiting for class to start. Have run into issues with deadlifts and negative pullups/hangs as the weight there both fatigues my hands to the point of them limiting but also (primarily) pinching a flab of skin to the point of pain. Done great progress on deadlifts. Tried gloves and they helped. But since it is the season, and I had been thinking of it, I decided to treat me to a whole bunch of straps and grips. Got them yesterday and today after a cardio/strength class it was time to try them out.

Did some light deadlifts and oh gosh what a difference. No more gripping for dear life (exaggeration). Of the ones I got my favorite became Ironmind's Sew-Easy, the other felt a bit too stiff. But that is probably just due to them not being worn at all.

After the deadlifts time for some hangs. Pulled up a board to get enough reach and strapped in. My hands loved me and then pulled a bit. Up I went. And then another, and another. Felt like it was a warmup set of pullups. Put on the grips and same thing happened, easy reps of pullups.

I CAN DO FUCKING PULLUPS!!!!!

Just wanted to shout that out. For those wondering gone from a 105kg active (15k steps a day at work and some cycling) dough-boy to 85kg guy with some visible toning.

Also I CAN DO PULLUPS!!!

 

From Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter that a cookie company have gotten lots of complaints. And look at the name of the CEO - Kakland which translates into English as Cookieland.

Earlier this week I put up the union's first poster board at our production facility. With that the work that is starting to get a club up and running really kicks off. There are a lot of work to get done before we are there, but we will get there. First two things on the agenda is to send more members to the union's three-day orientation course and get local union rep into various meetings the employer has. We have a law called Medbestämmandelagen (co-determing law) that gives the workers' organisation large rights to insight into how the company is run.

Having come across videos of that new Dragon Age game and its (by the look of it) cool looking combat I've gotten the urge for something similar. Action RPG of some kind, being able to rock on as a wizard and blast spells all day. Some tactical element to spell slinging and comboing would be nice.

Love me some recommendations!

 

Another local castle.

Built in 1635-38 as a renaissance castle in Kristian IV-style by Malte Juul, expanded and modernized in the 1780's by "Bygge-Hans" (Hans the builder, Hans Ramel). Bygge-Hans also had Höge Väg (High Road) built, a 1.3km long even road through the undulating landscape. Höge Väg took 50 years to build and every day the laborers on the estate had to carry one stone for the road. This led to them having said Vore inte herreman galen, så hade ej fattigman bröd, If the master weren't mad, the poor man wouldn't have bread (my translation).

The park is open for visits April to October but the castle itself is private property, currently owned by the Palmsteirna family.

Hi y'all. So I'm closing in on a full year at the gym. For the second time in my life I'm doing it, last time was 15-20 years ago. I'm down, I'm up and I've got the best/most fun body I've had in at least 15 years.

So naturally with a bit of retro- and instrospection I think of what is working for me. I go on loooots of classes, having someone tell me what to do and get energy from others around me is super-duper awesome. From spinning to strength-cardio and dance (I did not see my fondness for that a year ago). Working classes into my schedule often takes me to the gym 30-35 minutes early and I've been using that time doing "random" strength stuff.

But perhaps time for me to get some organization going for my self-guided pre- and/or post class workouts. And since I like moving my "new" body around I think of supersetting big(?) strength exercises with mobility work. For example squats with dead hang (or eccentric pull ups to dead hang).

So let me have your favorite mobility inserts into super sets!

Strength exercises I especially enjoy

  • Squats (including sumo)
  • Romanian deadlifts (including single leg variant)
  • Overhead press
  • Rows (barbell, alternating gorilla)
  • Kettlebell ABCs (one KB, two KB) (I know not 100% a strength exercise)

Side note: Reading the list above makes me realize I need to find some arm and chest exercise variants to enjoy
