        Dude, you know push ups use core muscles. (nm) - musubi May 3, 13:23
        
        He's right. That's why doing planks is an ab exercise. -- nm - pmb May 3, 13:23 1
        
        Planks are *killer.* -- nm - Shaun May 3, 13:23

        clearly, I have not been doing them the same way you guys are. nm -- nm - groiny May 3, 13:23 1
        
        *shrug* you probably do it without realizing it. -- nm - znufrii May 3, 13:24
- around 50 last time I checked - decline May 3, 13:20
- At least four. Maybe six, if you promise me a cheeseburger at the end. -- nm - TFox May 3, 13:19

- 20, at least -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:18 2
  - (25, at most) -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:21 1
    - (And I suspect my form is improper, so I'm probably cheating in some way) -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 13:21
- It's been a while. I could probably do 30, but I'm hurting the next day. -- nm - znufrii May 3, 13:18
"New to Firefox 3.6, the 'Enable Java' option has been removed from the Content section of the Options. " -- (link) - Mop (224 lbs) May 3, 13:16

- More aerobic excercise and push ups. (nm) - musubi May 3, 13:21
- start from bottom up...bike treadmill stairmaster then add on upper body weights -- nm - zdroid May 3, 13:18 1
  - I think I'm down with the lower body (have done a few 500+ mile bike events and planning to do something again this year) - oblique May 3, 13:19
- I don't do weights. push ups work. -- nm - CQ May 3, 13:16 2
  - I need to do this. Wasn't there some website or something for tracking progress? -- nm - oblique May 3, 13:17 1

      - not really, not like one at the gym -- nm - oblique May 3, 13:16 2
        
        Pushups would do the trick. -- nm - Shaun May 3, 13:16 1

Ireland to re-impose flight curbs -- (link) - Danedukenuuk May 3, 13:09 2
- The first rule of flight curbs is you don't talk about flight curbs -- nm - Roger More May 3, 13:22
- Now that they have curbs does this mean they'll no longer have the guys with the little light sticks telling the planes when to stop? -- nm - Ender May 3, 13:13
I've made the lazy switch from Firefox to Safari over the weekend b/c Safari is already loaded with iTunes. Will I regret my choice? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 3, 13:08 1
- not in a flash i think -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 3, 13:10

a line from a job posting I saw the other day had under "reccomended skills" - Reagen May 3, 13:00 8
- Nursing standards have really slipped. -- nm - David May 3, 13:02 2
  - Right, I mean, PvE? Just let in all the riffraff, why don't you? -- nm - Reagen May 3, 13:05 1
    - I wonder what PvE translates to in Ivehadsex. -- nm - David May 3, 13:12

    - unless he got it from a PvP server somehow. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 13:04
stardust revelry the memory of loves refrain -- nm - zdroid May 3, 12:58
I'm guessing that 25 lbs is an appropriate starting weight for *groiny* to do tricep extensions. - musubi May 3, 12:58 39
- FWIW, weight bands do a pretty good job. -- nm - scorpion May 3, 13:18
- Right now I only have 15lb dumbells at home. I can get a good workout with those. - pmb May 3, 13:02
- oh FFS. Some women actually can lift a lot. as I said on b2 I probably got the starting weight wrong. - loosilu May 3, 13:00 35
  - I'm not saying women are weak, so don't conflate the argument that way. You said there's no way aerobic weights work, and that simply wasn't true. - musubi May 3, 13:03 34
    - And it's definitely too much to start with. -- nm - Jim May 3, 13:05 27
      - would be fine as doubles. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:06 26
        
        Not for most of the population, I assure you. - musubi May 3, 13:12 15
        
        Think of me as a female groiny, seriously. My dad was very into weight training. I'm a mule. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:13 14
        
        Again, your experience is not the point. The assumption that light weights are only for invalids is a wrong (and slightly dangerous) notion. - musubi May 3, 13:16 6
        
        ok, you and others are exaggerating and twisting my words, so I'm done. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:17 5
        
        Forgive me if I'm twisting your words, but please tell me, how am I supposed to read this post? (link) - musubi May 3, 13:20 [Backboard] 3
        
        I'm curious how you're interpreting posts like this. -- (link) - loosilu May 3, 13:23 [Backboard] 2
        
        I interpret that as a lone post that contradicts numerous other posts you made in the discussion. - musubi May 3, 13:25 1
        
        there were a number like that. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:27
        
        We really aren't. -- nm - Shaun May 3, 13:17
        
        but if you know that, why would you assert them as being a fine starting weight for most women? -- nm - TFox May 3, 13:14 5
        
        I didn't. Not once. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:16 3
        
        *looks up like four posts* -- nm - TFox May 3, 13:17 2
        
        where does it say "most women"? -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:18 1
        
        when someone makes a global statement and the response is without qualification, how is it supposed to be interpreted as just about you? -- nm - TFox May 3, 13:19
        
        Especially a woman like Meg. -- nm - Shaun May 3, 13:15
        
        *ears perk up* -- nm - Dignan SI May 3, 13:14
        
        no it would not. -- nm - decline May 3, 13:10
        
        Please try to branch out from your personal experience. -- nm - Shaun May 3, 13:08
        
        25 pounds to start? I'm in pretty reasonable shape and i bet i couldn't do hardly any reps at 25 pounds. -- nm - Andie May 3, 13:07 7
        
        doubles = 2 arm extensions, and I can easily do that from a cold start. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:08 6
        
        *grunts loudly, drops weights, swings arms, announces that she's going to get a smoothie to feed the vipers* -- nm - loosi si May 3, 13:10 1
        
        *eats a hobbit.* nm, -- nm - loosie May 3, 13:11
        
        yes, i know what they are. but how many can you do if you are doing a full upper body workout ? -- nm - Andie May 3, 13:09 3
        
        3 sets. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:10 2
        
        3 sets of what? and if you google they recommend starting with a lower weight, fyi. -- nm - Andie May 3, 13:11 1
        
        I have done weight programs a number of times over the years, and I need more than they recommend. I don't have a machine here to do an accurat count, - loosilu May 3, 13:12
    - and it al depends on what you are trying to do. - groiny May 3, 13:04
    - by "aerobic weights" I am specifically referring to small weights designed for use during aerobic exercise, typically 1-3 pounds. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:04 4
      - to build muscle, all you need to start doing is use more than your muscles are used to. - b. May 3, 13:09 3
        
        if 1 pound challenges your triceps, you've got problems. deltoids or another small muscle are another story. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:14 1
        
        crikey. -- nm - b. May 3, 13:54
        
        Only if you are an invalid apparently. -- nm - Shaun May 3, 13:12
- MiLB post got LIR. -- nm - David May 3, 12:58
I need to know how to turn off Java in Firefox... stat. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) May 3, 12:58 8
- funcktions, contents, options - Danedukenuuk May 3, 13:01
- get the noscript plugin -- nm - tRuMaN May 3, 12:59
- I believe you need to remove the plugin from the plugins directory -- nm - decline May 3, 12:59
- I believe it's just a plugin that you disable in Add-Ons -- nm - oblique May 3, 12:59 2
  - I wasn't sure if disabling the "console" disabled Java entirely. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) May 3, 13:00
  - oh right. this should do it. -- nm - decline May 3, 12:59
- Short of uninstalling Java? -- nm - oblique May 3, 12:58 1
  - There's no switch, though? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) May 3, 12:59
There is a lot of posting on boards that have already past -- nm - amoxy May 3, 12:57 3
- there's a lot good boards. ..hey bery how about putting numbers or board times in the box to alert when a bb gets added to -- nm - zdroid May 3, 13:02 1
  - so all the noobs who aren't familiar with how this board works can find what people write? -- nm - TFox May 3, 13:03
- pasting? -- nm - zork May 3, 12:58
honestly, with weights, you have to know where the line is. - groiny May 3, 12:57 16
- [deleted] 14
  - We can't possibly be worried about Kelly's ability to lift weight. She gets pots of food for Will on and off the stove just fine. - TFox May 3, 13:00 5
    - I was about to post that IM. (nm) - musubi May 3, 13:18
    - It's more like a trough system -- nm - oblique May 3, 13:14
    - lift 2 porterhouse 15 times, and repeat daily. nm -- nm - groiny May 3, 13:02
    - they make it off the stove? -- nm - loosilu May 3, 13:01

    - [deleted] 6
      - wait til you see me in 2011!!!! - groiny May 3, 13:01 5
        
        Yes, he will. After all, it's groiny. -- nm - Fuzzy (195 lbs) May 3, 13:02 2
        
        I usually draw the line at "cock" nm -- nm - groiny May 3, 13:03 1

        um, no. nm -- nm - groiny May 3, 13:02
- this sounds like a good plan. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 12:58
This audit exit conference just took a decidedly snippy turn in tone. -- nm - TFox May 3, 12:57 2
- Probably because you are posting on ST instead of listening to the auditors -- nm - amoxy May 3, 12:58
- yeah! -- nm - tRuMaN May 3, 12:57
