Which Olympic Sport Are You Excited to Watch?
by POPSUGAR Fitness 53 Reactions 0 Shares Print
The Olympics start in a month, and I can feel my excitement mounting, especially after the exciting Swimming and the Track and Field team trials. They were just a preview of things to come.
I am curious . . .

I'm planning to watch every swim event (men and women)... that's my main thing. I get goosebumpy watching the swim events. But I like rowing and the little known C-1 (canoe) events too since I participate in those myself. I couldn't boycott watching the olympics since it's not about the country hosting it as much as the hard work and comraderie of the athletes participating. That's all my eyes can see anyway.

TRACK AND FIELD. I never used to watch, but after the intense olympic trials i am HOOKED. Bernard Lagat and LaShawn Merritt are my faves! I love it so much when the announcers focus solely on one guy the entire time, and he loses at the last minute to the underdog (LaShawn Merritt)!!!

Gymnastics. I did it for four years! I feel sorry for anyone who's boycotting the Olympics. I know it's a personal choice, but really, my friends in Beijing have told me how hard the locals there have worked to get this ready. Some which can be summed up here: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/node/8662 "Furthermore, many critics of China hosting the Games seem unaware of the immense effort and enthusiasm the Chinese people have put into their preparations for the Games. I saw tears in people's eyes when Beijing lost the opportunity to hold the Games in 2000. I saw tremendous efforts by taxi drivers to memorize English words to welcome international guests even before they could recognize the 26 letters of the English alphabet and I cannot forget the sweaty but happy smiles of hundreds of housewives and retired workers volunteering ten hours a day, seven days a week to practice Chinese traditional dance in the extreme heat of Beijing's summer to celebrate the countdown a year before the Games." Even though I'm of Chinese descent, I was born and raised American. Even so, the Beijing Olympics has a bit of an ethnic pride to it for me.

I watch the Gymnastics in the summer Olympics and the figure skating in the winter Olympics. That's pretty much the extent of my interest, I have to admit! I'm not a sports person. (She says, on FitSugar!) I walk, do yoga and weights for health and weight maintenance, but I really don't like sports and am so far from being naturally athletic it's not funny!

not trying to be argumentative, generally interested: how do you boycott the olympics? Do you not watch it on TV? Not read about it in the newspapers? I just don't understand how one goes about doing that.

Duffy, I was wondering when someone was going to mention boycotting. I selected swimming and volleyball would be my second, but my husband and I are considering "boycotting". For me, this would pretty much just be not watching, but at least I'm standing up for something within the means that I can.

Saints star hits out after move collapses
10:00am Thursday 21st June 2012 in Sport
FORGOTTEN Saint Ryan Dickson is "absolutely miffed" after missing out on a move to Crawley Town.
The newly-promoted League One side had been hoping to bring the out-of-favour left back to Broadfield Stadium this summer.
However, that would have likely meant a substantial pay cut for the 25-year-old.
In order to facilitate the move, Dickson, right of picture, had hoped to come to a settlement on the remainder of his St Mary's contract, which has a year left to run.
But he could not reach an agreement with Saints.
Dickson, who is understood to have received wage increases as a result of the club's promotions to the Championship and then the Premier League, now appears to be preparing to ride out the remaining year of his deal.
The defender has taken to social networking site Twitter to express his frustration at not getting a move.
He tweeted: "A business decision? Absolutely miffed! Looks like I'm stuck still watching premiership football for the season could be worse! Crazy".
In response to a message from his former Brentford teammate, goalkeeper Ben Hamer, Dickson then added: "cant beat playing though mate frustrated ant the word! Just can't understand not wanted so let me play else where!"

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- Louisville Metro Police say officers found two black men who had been shot in the 1800 block of Frankfort Ave.
"I don't have any indication as to what the motive was or what's behind it but at this homicide detectives say they do not have any suspects," said Carey Klain, LMPD Spokesperson.
People living in the area say it's not often they see much crime around the neighborhood.
"It's a little nerve wrecking seeing stuff like that going on around here -- it's sort of quiet, everyone's nice and you don't expect to see that on a Sunday," said Nick Nevitt, a Clifton resident.
It leaves people on edge, and police looking for your help. Anybody with information is asked to call 574-LMPD.

Brightness of birds' beaks signals strength: new study
Female birds with brighter bills tend to be tougher than their dull-billed competitors, according to new research by Queen's Biology postdoctoral fellow Troy Murphy.
Although most studies of bird coloration to date have focused on enhancing mate choice, "This is only part of the picture," says Dr. Murphy. "We need to think in terms of status signals as well: how tough an individual is, its fighting ability and dominance."
He is studying this phenomenon in American goldfinches, whose bills change colour – from drab brown to bright orange – in both sexes during the breeding season. The bills are coloured by natural fat-soluble pigments called carotenoids, which are used in the birds' immune systems as anti-oxidants and can only be acquired through their diet.
"There's a trade-off. The more carotenoids a bird channels into the colour of its bill, the less there is for its immune system," Dr. Murphy explains. "This makes the bill colour a great candidate for a sexual or social signal."
Studying under Biology professor Bob Montgomerie at Queen's University Biological Field Station (QUBS), the research team, including students Malcolm Rosenthal and Ryan Kelly, uses a spectrometer to measure coloration of the birds' bills. Artificial "lipstick" is applied to their beaks, intensifying colour to the maximum found in the natural population. Since birds can see in the ultraviolet range, these colours appear much differently to them than they do to people.
Metabolic rate of the goldfinches is then assessed by measuring the amount of oxygen they consume. The lower their metabolic rate, the less energy they require to survive. Birds with good immune systems and metabolic rates are able to divert more carotenoids into their beak colour.
Behaviour is also measured by the research group, through dominance trials in aviaries. Above each of two feeders a stuffed model female perches in a lifelike pose. The bill of one model is painted much brighter than the bill of the other. In this case, a bright beak indicates energy reserves and an ability to fight, with females choosing to feed from the feeder guarded by the less dominant stuffed bird, explains Dr. Murphy.
"The fascinating thing about beak colour is that it can change within a matter of hours, whereas plumage only moults twice a year," he adds. "The beak provides a snapshot of the quality of the bird at that time: a dynamic signal of the bird's condition."
In other research that Dr. Murphy is conducting with tropical birds in Mexico, both males and females defend their territories year-round, and both sexes have colourful plumage. His work indicates that females are using their elaborate plumage to signal how tough they are when defending territories. This relates to his QUBS study, he says, where brighter beaks indicate: "Get away from this thistle patch. It's mine!"
This work is supported by the International Research Fellowship Program from the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Crews are working to remove a 200-year-old tree that fell in Marietta National Cemetery last week. The tree came down during a windstorm, and several lanes of Roswell Street are closed as crews work to clear it. Work started around 9 a.m., and it is expected to be completed by about 1 p.m. A 70-ton crane was brought in to remove it piece by piece, but crews are being careful not to damage any of the grave sites, or any of the nearby buildings. When the tree fell on November 12, it blocked Roswell Street, but did not hit any headstones or injure anyone in the area.

Tommy Smyth, the color commentator on the American feed of this game, said that this looks like the Real Madrid team from the 1950's, featuring Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas. Though I've only seen highlights and read about these men and never seen a 90 minute game, from what I know about those players and the Real Madrid team of that era, I'm inclined to agree with Mr. Smyth's assessment. Real Madrid are absolutely destroying Valencia, and they're 4-0 up at halftime.
The score is no fluke, either. They're absolutely destroying Valencia, and they deserve their 4-0 lead. Honestly, it looks like one of those games where Real Madrid or Barcelona is playing one of those relegation battlers, but it's not. They're playing Valencia. You know, top four in the league? Used to have David Villa? Won a couple of titles under Rafa Benitez? That team. Oh, and they're doing at at the Mestalla.
This is so bad, the home fans might start doing the "ole!"s for completed Real Madrid passes.
Oh, if you didn't know, this is a second choice Real Madrid side against a first choice Valencia side. All of Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, Xabi Alonso, Marcelo, and Mesut Özil are on the bench. It's Esteban Granero, Karim Benzema, Lassana Diarra, Kaka, and Sergio Canales doing a lot of the damage, along with the brilliant Gonzalo Higuain, who is usually first choice when he's fully fit.
Higuain has a brace and two assists, setting up Benzema and Kaka for their goals. It's been an absolutely brilliant performance...dare I say, one that Di Stefano and Puskas would be proud of?

Yes gun nuts did heckle the father of Sandy Hook victim. See the video and definition of heckling @TheLastWord at 10pm.—
Lawrence O'Donnell (@Lawrence) January 30, 2013
So, who will be the last "real journalist" to admit that grieving Newtown parent Neil Heslin wasn't "heckled" or "shouted down" at a public hearing? Slate and Anderson Cooper have admitted that an edited version of events that's been widely disseminated via social media is misleading. Even Piers Morgan "apologized" in a way, though he immediately repeated the "shouted down" lie during his broadcast.
It looks like MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is holding out despite all evidence to the contrary. Why not double down and call anyone who spoke up a "gun nut"?

DALLAS - The fallout from the DISD's fifth-grade boys trip to see a war movie last month continues.
News 8 has confirmed that state and federal officials are reviewing trip expenditures. Now, comes new information suggesting DISD could have accomplished the same mission for a fraction of the cost.
DISD spent $57,000 one month ago sending fifth-grade boys to see the movie "Red Tails," the George Lucas film based on the Tuskegee Airmen squadron during World War II. Fifth-grade girls were not invited, which may be a violation of federal laws.
And while top district officials portray the field trip as a success, e-mails obtained by News 8 show DISD could have saved themselves most of the money and all of the headache.
WFAA has reviewed hundreds of internal DISD e-mails from and to the top official who planned the trip, then-elementary schools chief, Shirley Ison-Newsome. The e-mails show Ison-Newsome conceived the trip on Jan. 14, 2012, just days before the movie about the Tuskegee Airmen was released in Dallas.
Seeking input from principals about sending fifth graders to a PG-13 movie, of the few who replied, most were supportive.
"I recommend that our 5th grade boys see the film," Budd Elementary Principal Israel Rivera replied. "It's action packed, entertaining."
But Wheatley Elementary Principal Kamalia Cotten wasn't as sure.
"I don't think it is 5th grade appropriate," she wrote. "It is more towards 7th grade and up."
On Jan. 29, Adams Elementary Principal Jean McGill suggested to Ison-Newsome renting the noted documentary about the Tuskegee Airmen, "Double Victory."
At least one principal did just that. Alecia Cobb at DeGolyer Elementary rented the George Lucas-produced documentary "Double Victory" to show to all of her fifth-grade students, boys and girls. The documentary also aired on the History Channel last month for free.
At one point, DISD officials were encouraged to have students participate in a nation-wide video conference being held Feb. 28. The two-hour, live web-cast, available to about 50 DISD campuses, would feature a video presentation and live discussion with living members of the Tuskegee Airmen squadron.
The cost to the district? Nothing. The schools participating? Just one, Brashear Elementary.
By Feb. 3, six days before the field trip, five elementary school principals had opted out of the trip. On Feb. 9, 4,400 boys from 132 schools spent $57,000 at the movies.
"They are not concentrating on teaching history, they are concentrating on watching airplanes blow up," said DISD watchdog Allen Gwinn.
We showed Gwinn the series of e-mails obtained by News 8, as well as a timeline of how Ison-Newsome planned the field trip with no apparent input from Interim Superintendent Alan King, and little discussion about cheaper alternatives.
"If it was about teaching history they would have participated in web-casts or they would watch a more historical documentary if they had to, or even better, get the book, read the book," Gwinn said.
In the wake of wide-spread criticism of the trip, Ison-Newsome began receiving e-mails of support from some principals.
Ervin Elementary School Principal Marcus Paris raved about the field trip.
"This was a great experience for our young men," said Paris in an e-mail to Ison-Newsome. "My boys could tell during the movie when a character was going to die and the ending was sad because of the way the pilots died."
The only comment from Acting Superintendent Alan King came along with news that a DISD middle school decided not to take their own field trip to see the movie.
"Canceling the trip in this environment was a good move," King said in the e-mail.
We asked to interview both Interim Superintendent King, as well as Shirley Ison-Newsome. Both declined.
Since the "Red Tails," field trip controversy, Ison-Newsome has been promoted to DISD's Interim Head over all schools.

|Win over Giants saves Bengals' season
|Tuesday, November 13, 2012 10:54 AM
By JOE KAY
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — By drubbing the defending champions, the Bengals have given themselves a second chance.
A 31-13 win over the New York Giants on Sunday moved Cincinnati (4-5) back to the periphery of the playoff chase with a couple of games ahead against struggling teams. The Bengals will get a chance to make it interesting.
The lopsided victory also represented a breakthrough. The Bengals haven't been able to beat a good team the past two seasons, going 0-6 against AFC North rivals Pittsburgh and Baltimore. They went 0-8 last season against other teams that reached the playoffs.
This one was notable, even if a lot of their fans missed it.
"Yeah, man, that was huge for us," defensive tackle Domata Peko said on Monday. "We really needed that win. It was important because they're world champions and when you can compete against a team like that, it shows us we can compete against anybody."
With its season on the line, Cincinnati played its best game of the season by far. Andy Dalton threw a career-high four touchdown passes, the defense sacked Eli Manning a season-high four times and caused four turnovers, and Adam "Pacman" Jones returned a punt 68 yards to set up a touchdown.
"We got rolling pretty good," safety Chris Crocker said. "The test for us was when we got up. We were pretty confident we'd come out of the gates really fast. It was just when we got up, how would we respond? That's been our Achilles heel this season."
The Bengals have gotten pushed around in the second half for most of the season. They blew a 14-3 lead and lost to Pittsburgh at Paul Brown Stadium, then had the Broncos rally in the fourth quarter for a win a week ago.
The back-to-back losses left them with a four-game losing streak and cost them credibility with fans. Cincinnati sold out its first four home games — two more than last season — but couldn't fill Paul Brown Stadium for the Giants game. There were nearly 9,000 empty seats on a sunny, 70-degree afternoon.
"You never know when we're going to have a sellout," Crocker said. "I thought we would have, having the Super Bowl champions coming in here."
The Bengals' best game of the season was blacked out on local television.
"That stinks," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said on Monday. "It's terrible. None of us wants that for the fans in this area. But it is what it is. And the key for us is we need to keep putting them back to back and get ourselves on a hot streak and the fans will get plenty of chances to see us."
There's still a chance to win 'em back.
The Bengals play at Kansas City — last in the AFC West — then host Oakland, which is 3-6 and coming off a 55-20 loss to the Ravens. They're at San Diego (4-5), home against Dallas (4-5) and at Philadelphia (3-6) before finishing at Pittsburgh and at home against Baltimore.
The tiebreakers aren't in their favor — Cincinnati is 1-3 against the division and 2-5 against the AFC — but the impressive win over the Giants gave them some confidence heading into a favorable stretch of the schedule.
"I think guys realized that there's no reason to keep talking about it," coach Marvin Lewis said. "At the end of the day, you can't talk about it. You've got to do it. Too much has been said."
NOTES: Lewis said C Kyle Cook will start rehabilitation work on his surgically repaired right ankle this week. Cook hurt the ankle in the final preseason game and went on injured reserve, but could return this season. Lewis said it's too early to judge whether he'll be able to play again. ... LB Ben Jacobs of Fresno State was signed to the practice squad. OT Jeff Adams was released from the squad.

LHJ: So vaginal dryness is directly linked to decreasing estrogen?
LS: Exactly. As estrogen levels go down, the production of the clear fluids that provide natural lubrication start to diminish. The pH of the vagina rises too, which creates a more alkaline environment in which bad bacteria are more likely to thrive. This is what causes common symptoms like a foul odor, irritation and an abnormal, watery discharge.
LHJ: Aren't these the same symptoms as a vaginal yeast infection?
LS: They're similar, so it's no surprise that many women run to the drugstore to try an over-the-counter yeast infection medication. This can feel soothing for a very short time, but inevitably the symptoms return. Interestingly, a lot of women will describe what they're feeling as "itching" but when you really ask for details, it turns out they're not experiencing itching so much as burning and irritation, often inside and outside the vagina.
LHJ: Does the problem have a name?
LS: It's called atrophic vaginitis, but it's not an infection. And it is totally reversible. To repair the problem, a woman can use one of three different types of vaginal estrogen. All work equally well to revitalize the vaginal walls and rev up lubrication -- in many cases, you can stop treatment altogether after a few months once your symptoms are resolved.
LHJ: Are we talking about a form of hormone replacement?
LS: Essentially, yes, but with vaginal estrogen there's minimal absorption into the bloodstream. These products are considered safe even for breast cancer survivors. (And you don't need progesterone with this as you would for birth control or hormone therapy if you haven't had a hysterectomy.)

The plastic bag story in another example of the shoddy, one-sided and unbalanced writing that has become the norm on the pages of the weekly. The weekly parrots the claims of the " environmentalists" by stating that plastic bags are creek polluters-- even though there has not been a study showing how many bags were in our creeks and if the ban on platic grocery bags has decreased the number found in creeks. Yet the weekly prints what the environmental lobby feeds them!
Then they claim that the bags are single use, when it is clear that most people reuse these bags for other purposes-- once again regurgitating the pap that the environmental lobby tells them to print.
By now we should take whatever we read in the weekly with a grain of salt, taking into account the people behind the story and whetherbtheynhave a business relationship with the weekly.
I see plenty of copies of the weekly littering the street--- maybe we should ban the weekly for the sake of our environment.

This is taking nonsense too far.
If I buy my lunch at a deli and get a plastic bag which doesn't leak I keep my lunch in it and can use it as a trash bag afterwards. A paper bag would leak, disintegrate and tear too easily. It may not last until a trash can could be found so trash may be left wherever I eat it. My car, my clothes and probably my backpack would get filthy from what the paper bag leaks.
If I buy most loaves of bread, they are double wrapped. Why? Bread does not leak. Ban double wrapped bread.

Maybe they can get Trader Joe's to stop wastefully doubling paper bags.

Band Field Completed
A special thanks to Geneva Rock and Sunroc companies for their huge donation in doing a complete renovation of our practice field south of the school. They have taken out all the sod, brought in fill and leveled and graded our field. The ASD and AFHS has installed fencing as well as moved the sprinkler boxes that were in the middle of the field. All of this will result in a much improved and safer rehearsal area for our students. Words cannot fully express our gratitude for those companies and individuals who have gone the extra mile in helping our program.

AF Band Student Financial Assistance Needed
Because of the economic hard times we are going through some AF band students are having a very difficult time staying current with their band and trip fees. Many students have been working hard on our fundraisers but because of various circumstances have found themselves unable to fully pay their fees. We have received a few donations from individuals and businesses that have helped the situation but are now asking for further help from anyone willing to make a tax deductible donation through the Alpine Foundation. Go to the fundraising page of the band website www.afbands.org and click on the donate button and make whatever donation you are willing to make. Make sure that you designate that your donation goes to the AF Bands student scholarship fund. Students receiving assistance will be asked to provide service hours to the band to help pay back their scholarship. Thanks for your consideration of this request and feel free to spread this request to friends who may be able to assist in providing this amazing AF Band opportunity to all our students.

Imperial Dragon Japanese Cast Iron Tea Cup
Product Rating
Featuring a five toe'd dragon that is famous for it's connection to the Imperial family, these cast iron teacups are a wonderful addition to your favorite teapot. Dragons symbolize good fortune, power and strength. These cups are enameled on the inside and will hold 3oz of tea. Made in Japan.

Best Uses
This teacup looks absolutely stunning, and went nicely with my cast iron pot, also from Teavana. But while the pot's finish has held up great, the paint/finish around the rim of the teacup has begun to flake off after only a few weeks of regular use. I have used only water to rinse of the cup between uses and it hasn't been exposed to any scrubbing or anything remotely abrasive. The flaked-off black paint makes the teacup much less attractive, since the gold layer underneath shows through wherever it has come off. Although I love the design of this cup, I had hoped for something more durable.

Game 71: Colorado Avalanche vs New Jersey Devils
Date and Time: Thursday March 15, 2012, 7 PM
Location: Prudential Center
TV: MSG Plus 2 (Devils Pregame at 6:30)
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
The Matchup: The Avs come to town tonight to wrap up the regular season meetings between these two teams. This will be the second time we meet and let's hope it goes A LOT better than the last. The Avalanche won 6-1 back on Nov. 30 in Denver
Keys to the Game: Let's show up tonight!! I didn't think the Devils did a very good job at anything the other night in Philly so we need to do a better job all around. The Avs are coming off a huge win in Buffalo last night so let's hope they are a little fatigued tonight. The Avs are in a battle for 8th place in the west so you have to believe they are going to bring it tonight.
If the Devils do anything different tonight, it has to be getting pucks to the net. They got 17 shots on net Tuesday night which I can honestly say should never be enough to win a game. The Avs do a decent job keeping pucks from getting to the net so saying to get more pucks on net isn't an easy task.
Would be nice to see the Devils Power Play come back to life as well and do you know how they go about doing that? Getting more pucks to the net!!
I expect a HUGE game from Henrique tonight. The Calder trophy for me comes down to Henrique and Gabriel Landeskog so if Henrique wants to prove why the trophy should be his, no better night to shine than when the other guy trying to win that trophy is on the ice.
Playoff Picture: NJ is in 6th place and honestly, that's where I want them to stay. I didn't like the effort the other night but didn't mind the loss to keep us in 6th. I think it's a no-brainer that I would rather play Florida than Pittsburgh. Win or lose, the Devils aren't moving out of 6th tonight.
… And Finally: One of the best goals Parise ever scored came against the Avs in NJ….

About this time two years ago, I was packing my first child off to college. And I mean packing. What a production!
We had checklists, so many that we needed a checklist for our checklists: Bathroom list, check. Desk list, check. Bedding list, kitchenette list, miscellaneous list, check, check, check.
We spent hours, days, coordinating her twin comforter to her table lamp to her bathroom glass, and then tried to tie her stuff to her roommate's stuff — an even more futile effort.
Now as I prepare to send my younger child off to college, I look back and smack myself. What was I thinking?!
Most of the wrongheadedness was my fault, as usual. I thought I could control my daughter's new environment, and turn a 13-by-16-foot room into an oasis of functional comfort and visual harmony.
Hahahaha. We parents can be such idiots.
On the first weekend I visited her weeks after she'd moved in, I saw that the dorms were chaotic dens of hygienic havoc and bawdy bedlam. Don't these kids' parents care, I wondered? Then I saw my daughter's room. That was humbling. And she had cleaned up.
My take home: Care less!
See, when children go to college, parents get an education, too.
Parent lesson #1: It's a dorm, not a first apartment. For many 18-year-olds, it's the first time they have had to manage the basics of daily living. It's not a pretty learning curve.
Parent lesson #2: The more you send, and the more coordinated it is, the more foolish you make your kid look.
Parent lesson #3: However nice you make your kid's dorm look on move-in day, the space will be a pigsty by Halloween.
While I still feel that maternal urge to imprint myself on my younger daughter's new dorm, I know — despite what all the stores capitalizing on this rite of parental passage will tell you — the process is not that complicated.
That doesn't mean my younger daughter is not into decorating her digs. She started shopping for her comforter in December. It means that I don't have to micromanage the transition down to her toothbrush. She's going to college, after all.
Two years ago, when launching daughter one, I wrote a couple of columns on dorm decorating. For tips, I consulted experts at places such as Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target and The Container Store. I downloaded their dorm-must-have lists and followed them as if they were a roadmap to my child's success. Down mattress topper equals A in economics.
This time, I consulted the real experts: college kids. I didn't ask them what to bring, since those lists are everywhere. I asked these front-line consumers what not to bring.
Here's a list — courtesy of my older daughter now a seasoned junior and a few of her college friends — of the most unnecessary, often annoying, items kids bring to outfit their dorms, plus a few must-haves not found on conventional lists.
Do not bring…
•Furniture: No recliners, sofas, coffee tables, or ottomans, even the ones that store stuff. They just take up space, and you do not want to be a real-estate hog.
•Futons (in case you thought they weren't furniture): They invite people to shack up with you, which no one wants.

Former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra (L) and her son Supasek Amornchat (R) gesture in a traditional greeting to the media as they arrive at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport July 23, 2014. Yingluck has kept a low profile since being removed from power after her government was ousted in a coup in May. Last week the junta gave her permission to travel abroad and, according to local media, she is thought to be heading to France, where her brother Thaksin Shinawatra will celebrate his 65th birthday on Saturday, July 26.

Hello all,
Over the summer I have been concentrating only on powerlifting. In 2 months I have gained 15lbs. on bench, 30 on DL, and 40, on squat. I am not happy with this. I wanna get better gains than that. My routine is mainly Squat and assitance on Monday, Bench and assistance on wed, and DL and assistance on Friday. I think I need a new routine. Can anyone reccomend some routines that work for them, as far as powerlifting? I have looked at the Westside routine, but there are so many odd lifts that I either can't do, have never heard of, or don't have the proper materials to do them. Can someone please help me? I am going to be on the Varsity powerlifting team this year(as a freshmen), and would like to add about 20-50lbs. to all my lifts over this year. Thanks.
You are not happy with that?
I'd be pretty happy with that.
sounds like what you are doing is working OK.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.
I has a facebook.
www.elitefts.com (westside)... read the articles.. try the 9 week program... but make sure you understand how and why you are doing the exercises.
I just looked at the 9 week program, and there are many exceresiese that I don't know how to do, and I probably don't have the materials to most of them. Can you give me some other routines to try?
The 9 week program can be tailored to your needs... the basics are the ME and the DE method exercisies (the first exercise on each day)... after that, all the rest are assistance work which you can choose the best exercise for your goals/body.
In regards to the ME and DE exercises, the floor presses, board presses, low box squats, etc.... are not as hard to perform as you think. Yes, learning the new proper form is going to be the first hurdle. At the www.elitefts.com site.. goto the "ask dave" section and then click on the "exercise index" line on the left frame... this will open up a list of most of the exercises and will allow you to read how to do them.. hope this helps.
I don't think Westside is what Hurcule should do.
I'd stick with the current program.
Squats work better than supplements.

I would take 15 lbs on my bench every 2 months. I would love it. Think about it like this. If you bench 300 now, with a 15 lb gain every 2 months in a year you would be benching 390. I would not mind going from low 500s to low 600's in the next year.
At your age whatever you do will work provided you don't grossly overtrain, or try and max the same exercise every week.
If you want to see how to do the westside exercises, look at growordie.com go to the training vids section. Most of the exercises are not as complex as they seem on paper.
Main thing is to increase your bar speed, and on another day of the week work on increasing your absolute strength.
I did not realize his age, for that matter, westside might not the the best course of action (although it wouldn't be a "bad" course of action).
At 5'10" and 181lbs at age 14, I'd guess that test production is going well, but I have to agree that the first thing I thought was, "Sh*t, at that age, you can probably sit on a couch and improve".
I had friends that matured early like you, and they continued to improve at about the same rate. I recall my friend weighing 180 at 5'10" getting reps with 275 as a 17 or 18yo, he trained, as did most of the football guys at our school, using a 5-4-3 scheme.
I didn't hit 181 until I was 18. I worked out in typical pyramid fashion, benched 110@15yo, 135@16yo, 185@17yo, 245@18yo, weighing around 180. I weighed around 120-130 when 15yo.
You are making pretty good gains, and the rate of such gains are good too.
Like benchmonster said, gains like that, in that short of time, are damn good.
I've gone years without those kinds of gains, hell, 10 years where my bench is concerned. I hit 320 when I was 22ish, weighed 193. Just broke 335 last spring, weighing 215. I'm 34. I've weight trained the whole time.
If you don't know how to do some lifts, learn. Change is good. If you are not doing ME/DE days, that will help.
Best of luck.
You gonna do squats?
The voices tell me to crawl it.
You are doing FINE for 14.
Probably one of the HARDEST things to learn at 14 is PATIENCE! It'll come. Give it time.

"It's simple. If it jiggles, it's fat." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
I am 17, also on the varsity powerlifting team (if we had one, but the long and short of it is, there are three guys on our team, and no other schools in our league or any other leagues of schools around here would compete with us, simply bc after two years, we won every single match, no chance for the others). What you have gaineds is pretty good, especially since your Test production isn't at it's peaks. However I am curious, what kind of weight are you throwing around, or what are your Personal Records sor bench, squat, and DL?
Second place is just a generic term your mom created to make you not feel bad about losing, because second place is actually first loser!
I bench press 210, Squat 265, and deadlift 305. I need to update my signature
Just be patient. Otherwise you'll end up injured or burnt out. Realize many of the greatest powerlifters don't peak until their thirties. What you're doing now is good. You need a good foundation before attempting Westside. Make sure to train your low back, abs, and triceps really hard. Also, learn rotator cuff exercises.
Your numbers are just great for your age. At this rate you'll become a top powerlifter when you hit 18 y/o lol.
5'10,185-190lbs, 12-16%bf
Them are some great numbers, period! My max bench is 275, max squat was 315 (but haven't maxed on that one recently, bench is up-to date), and my max dead is 365 (also up to date). Keep with it, you are doing great for your age, and keep tossing that iron around like it's nothing!
Second place is just a generic term your mom created to make you not feel bad about losing, because second place is actually first loser!
Dang, turbostu. You are stronger than anyone on our team. Yikes.
Thanks, but I am actually the weekest one on our "team". And thats why no other schools want to compete against us, although three other schools could give us a decent run for our money, we would probably still beat them. You keep up with it though, you are lifting way more than I did at your age, my results came only after some serious hard work, day after day. It also helps if you lift with a couple really good friends that make you want to do more than you can, and you will amaze yourself, good luck to ya!
Second place is just a generic term your mom created to make you not feel bad about losing, because second place is actually first loser!

The team of technicians from Natran Green Pest Control descends upon infested homes armed with earth-safe products and a thirst for uprooting freeloading guests ranging from termites to mosquitoes. Upon entering a household, the technician evaluates the home for possible entry points, such as cracked baseboards and miniature revolving bookcases, before developing an action plan and treating the problem areas with pesticides that are entirely safe for pets and humans. For yards infested with mosquitoes, techs employ the company's signature fogging system, which manually fogs the yard with a special machine and keeps the lawn free of the winged pests.
Terminix lives out its motto, ?power over pests,? by providing extermination services for termites and other common household insects, backed by a comprehensive money-back guarantee. In an initial inspection appointment, certified inspectors scan quarters for warning signs, such as termite-style wood damage and empty black-widow terrariums. Terminix?s primary strategy, viable for most pests, pivots on a liquid defense system applied to the soil that surrounds homes. The liquid coats passing arthropods in pesticide, which they then transmit to their peers. Baited traps or the liquid system lure in bugs from strategic positions near food-filled locales, such as refrigerators and beanbag chairs stuffed with baked beans. Bug banishers can also spray bedbug-infested rooms with a variety of treatments, such as Rapid Freeze carbon dioxide, which ices both the bugs and their eggs.

Parvizian also travels to homes and offices to clean carpets with hand-sudsed shampoos and environmentally friendly supplies, and restores rugs ravaged by moths and foot traffic with meticulous re-weaving, fresh twirls of fringe, and re-backing torn from the pages of Chicken Soup for the Soul.
The professional exterminators at Sovereign Pest Control shoo away unwanted guests such as ants, spiders, and crickets, helping homeowners enjoy their newly bug-free abodes. The team stops by to perform interior as well as exterior pest control and optionally apply anti-mosquito spray. Should homeowners discover that any pest—from ants to earwigs—has returned after a treatment, the team will gladly repeat the process or issue a full refund.
The Preventative Pest Control team sends insects packing and inspires lawns to breathe easy and glimmer in green. Their multi-step pest treatments exile unwanted critters and discourages return guests, like those ants who sneak in and tape over your DVR. And with a money-back guarantee and a trophy case of glowing testimonials, the team's thoroughness and dependability is surely something to be feared by squatting insects.
The technicians at Nature's Own Chimney Cleaning and Repair ensure that any crackling fire in the hearth is safe by specializing in the prevention, detection, and correction of chimney and venting-system hazards. They also perform pressure washing, duct care, and cleaning services, keeping houses safe and ready for the elements.

Welcome to the Ross Emerson website of wierd and wonderful ceramic sculpture

What's my work all about?
My work combines two main facets:
• A passion for clay: working with it, throwing, modelling, sculpting, carving and building, to the final stages of painting glazing and firing.
• A passion for fun or 'playtime' as I sometimes call it.
The intention is a celebration of form, style and colour as a clock or sculptural form that tells the time, amuses and is full of intrigue in its details. But really I'd much prefer you to be the judge, to enjoy what you see here and to make of it what you wish.
