Happy Saturday! Here's another edition of my weekend column for WPRI.com – as always, send your takes, tips and trial balloons to email@example.com and follow @tednesi on Twitter.
1. Governor Raimondo and Speaker Mattiello are tossing the PawSox plan back and forth like a 500-degree hot potato. Raimondo, whose team spent months negotiating the deal, simultaneously suggests it's compelling but refuses to endorse it, only urging lawmakers to "take a hard look." Mattiello, left out on a limb with his vocal support for Jim Skeffington's Providence plan back in 2015, doesn't want to touch this new one unless Raimondo is already committed. ("If the governor is in favor of the project and she sends us some legislation, we will be very happy to take it up and hold public hearings," the speaker told Dan Yorke on Friday.) The obvious reason for their skittishness: both are profoundly wary of the public backlash against public subsidies, and both could face tough re-election races next year. PawSox Chairman Larry Lucchino, appearing on this week's Newsmakers, sounded almost incredulous about the skepticism. According to Lucchino, the team's offer to pay for more than half of the $83-million project is believed to be the most generous split taxpayers have ever been offered on a minor-league ballpark, anywhere. "This is a special arrangement for Rhode Island," he said. Still, Lucchino ruled out having the PawSox owners provide a backstop guarantee in case tax revenue falls short of what's needed to cover public borrowing for the project. "There are no guarantees involved in this going in either direction," he said. "The state is not guaranteeing us a certain level of revenue – we are not guaranteeing them a certain level of revenue." Is that a risk legislators – and taxpayers – will be willing to accept before the Assembly session ends, just a few weeks from now? And if not, will the PawSox start a more aggressive search for a new location outside Rhode Island? Lucchino wouldn't bite on that question, but noted the team wants to be in a new stadium before its McCoy lease ends in 2020 and needs more than two years to build a new facility – do the math. At the same time, how easy will it be to find another New England city willing to take this deal if Rhode Island spurns it?
2. The packets lawmakers are getting from the PawSox include a team-commissioned poll of 450 Rhode Island voters conducted last month by Joe Fleming (who's also our pollster at WPRI 12). Larry Lucchino's favorite finding: 68% say they would support the new ballpark if it "would pay for itself from tax collections generated by the ballpark and the ball club, as well as PawSox rent payments, revenue from naming rights to the ballpark and other cost contributions made by the PawSox, and would not require any tax increases." The survey also finds 75% say it's important the PawSox remain in Rhode Island and 62% support "the concept of a new ballpark." But public subsidies are a third rail: 63% oppose "using taxpayers' money to build a new stadium," including 40% who strongly oppose it. And 54% oppose "taxpayer assistance, like tax relief and/or publicly financed infrastructure upgrades" for the ballpark. It would appear, then, the team's only politically viable option is to convince voters – and lawmakers – that ballpark-related tax revenue will cover the entire cost of the stadium bonds.
3. Not helping the PawSox is the deteriorating state budget situation, with the hole in Governor Raimondo's January proposal now pegged at $134 million. Speaker Mattiello's car tax cut will still be in the final budget – though it's now a six-year phaseout, starting with a "transition year" – but chances are slim to none that the governor's tuition plan will make the cut in anything like its original form. Leading House lawmakers speak of the need to be "realistic" about new initiatives due to the shortfall, and though the governor's aides note that car tax elimination is also a (more expensive) new initiative, the speaker clearly has the votes. (A tax cut is also seen as less complicated than a new program.) Here's a sign of the governor's whip count problems: I emailed all 21 reps who backed the progressive "Fair Shot Agenda" on Thursday, and only one, Aaron Regunberg, indicated he thinks the tuition plan should be included in the budget. A handful expressed openness to the plan but said the timing isn't right because of the budget shortfall. (Most – 15 – didn't respond by press time.) Still, Raimondo spokesman Mike Raia said she isn't giving up yet. "From the day she introduced Rhode Island Promise, the governor has felt strongly that a vote for it was a vote for jobs," he said. "There may be changes to the original proposal in the days ahead, but Governor Raimondo believes strongly that if we want Rhode Islanders to get the jobs Rhode Island companies are creating, we can't afford not to invest in job training and higher education."
4. Free tuition may be on the ropes, but the Democratic Governors Association hasn't given up on its TV ad campaign promoting the plan. The DGA-affiliated nonprofit America Works USA recently booked another $50,000 in commercial time on local TV stations, bringing the total amount spent airing the ads on Rhode Island channels to $233,000 since mid-March. That's on top of tens of thousands more spent with cable and online outlets.
5. With state revenue now forecast to come in $100 million lower than expected this year and next year, it's worth recalling that Governor Raimondo, Speaker Mattiello and other state leaders have passed a number of tax cuts recently. State officials estimate, for example, that revenue would be roughly $116 million higher in 2017-18 if not for the new retiree tax exemptions and higher Earned Income Tax Credit (worth a combined $73 million) as well as various business tax cuts (worth a combined $40 million). Mattiello also successfully pushed through cuts in the corporate tax and the estate tax back in 2014 (though the corporate tax cut was sold as revenue-positive due to related accounting changes).
6. Remember the Superman building? Four years after Bank of America moved out, it's still sitting empty in the heart of downtown. Owner David Sweetser has kept a low profile during this year's General Assembly session, and at this late hour it's hard to imagine anyone putting forward a formal proposal for the state to help redevelop the property. Meanwhile, Sweetser and Bank of America recently reached a legal settlement – and while strict confidentiality rules block either side from saying how much money exchanged hands, the buzz is that it was a significant sum. Asked Friday for an update on the building's future, Superman spokesman Bill Fischer told me to stay tuned. "It is our intent to discuss development plans in greater detail once progress with prospective commercial tenants are further advanced," he said.
7. Our weekly dispatch from WPRI.com's Dan McGowan: "Luis Aponte may have formally resigned as council president Friday afternoon, but the race to replace him began even before his indictment last week. Here's what's we know for sure. With Aponte out, Councilwoman Sabina Matos (Ward 15) is the acting leader of the council. There's an argument that she could just remain in the acting position for the rest of the term, as then-Councilwoman Balbina Young did when John Lombardi was bumped up from president to acting mayor following Buddy Cianci's resignation in 2002. But that's a far less exciting option than a real race for council president. If a vote were to happen to today, it seems likely Matos would have the support to take over. But if the vote is held following this summer's special election in Ward 3 to replace recalled Councilman Kevin Jackson, there's a possibility that other options could emerge. We know Councilors Nick Narducci (Ward 4) and David Salvatore (Ward 14) are already trying to drum up support to become president. The general belief around City Hall is that Narducci, Salvatore, Ward 1 Councilman Seth Yurdin, Ward 2 Councilman Sam Zurier and Ward 8 Councilman Wilbur Jennings will ultimately vote as a bloc. If they can scoop up a sixth vote in the Ward 3 special election, there would at least be a real contest. Another factor is Aponte. Even though he's out as president, he is still a voting member of the council. Where will he throw his support and will any potential president actually want him to be the clinching vote? Keep in mind that Aponte and Ward 9 Councilwoman Carmen Castillo are likely to vote together from here on out. Finally, there's Mayor Elorza. He did himself no favors with the council this week by holding a press conference to say Aponte would be a 'president in name only' – the message: 'stay out of our business and we'll stay out of yours' – but he's still the mayor. There must be at least one or two councilors whose decision he could influence. In short, Matos is the clear favorite to become the permanent president – but that doesn't mean it's a done deal."
8. Governor Raimondo may have found a landing spot for Tom Papa, who served as the Senate president's chief of staff until the retirement of Teresa Paiva Weed. (Dominick Ruggerio put his own trusted adviser Steve Iannazzi in the job.) Papa is seeking an advisory opinion from the R.I. Ethics Commission to find out whether he's allowed to become the governor's director of boards and commissions, a job Meredith Curren held until she became director of talent development in January. Raimondo spokesman David Ortiz emphasized that Papa has not been offered the job, though he clearly will have a strong shot if he wins ethics clearance. (Paiva Weed herself is also on the Ethics Commission's May 23 agenda, asking about how the revolving-door provision applies to her new job leading the Hospital Association of Rhode Island.)
9. Operative-turned-lobbyist Jeff Britt hosted another fundraiser for a top House Democrat last Friday evening, this time to benefit Majority Leader Joe Shekarchi's political action committee, RI Good Government PAC. Co-hosts were Kenneth Goodreau, Jeff Grybowski, Anthony Marcello and Stephen Soscia. Suggested contributions: $250, $500 and $1,000. Britt co-hosted a similar event for Speaker Mattiello back in December, shortly after he helped the speaker win his narrow re-election victory.
10. This week's 38 Studios grand-jury ruling attracted relatively little attention, which could affect the calculus for state leaders going forward. Governor Raimondo faces a decision about whether to appeal the ruling to the Rhode Island Supreme Court, and Senate President Dominick Ruggerio must decide whether to pass Rep. Charlene Lima's bill to release the material. The House already approved Lima's measure back in March.
11. Senator Reed won some praise from Newsmax, of all outlets.
12. Senator Whitehouse has dismissed a Politico report on his stock trades. He also gave an interesting speech recalling the successful 1992 effort to fix Rhode Island's broken workers' compensation system.
13. Bobby Nardolillo is officially in for U.S. Senate, and it sounds like Robert Flanders is leaning toward running, too.
14. Congressman Cicilline delivered this week's Weekly Democratic Address.
15. If you've never read "Washington Journal," Elizabeth Drew's contemporaneous recounting of how Watergate unfolded, you should.
16. Big week for Rhode Island business leaders in national magazines. Alex + Ani CEO Carolyn Rafaelian made the cover of Forbes, while CVS Pharmacy President Helena Foulkes and Deepwater Wind CEO Jeff Grybowski are both on Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business list.
17. Tim White has a great story coming Monday night that takes a closer look at Rhode Island's much-criticized Vehicle Value Commission.
18. Why are so many working-age Rhode Islanders still without a job?
19. On Sunday at 2, family members and Rhode Island leaders will gather for the formal dedication of Station Fire Memorial Park in West Warwick, commemorating the 100 lives lost and more than 200 injured in the 2003 tragedy. The event will include a rare post-governorship public appearance by Don Carcieri, who'll offer opening remarks. We'll have full coverage of the dedication on WPRI 12 and WPRI.com, including a live stream of the event for those who can't be there in person.
20. From the U.K., a thoughtful take on the new divide in western politics.
21. Could it be that Machiavelli was not a Machiavellian?

Read the new practitioner briefing on "Road Vehicle Automation in sustainable urban mobility planning" and send us your feedback!
In the framework of the revision process of the European Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans Guidelines (SUMP 2.0), the CoEXist project has produced a practitioner briefing on "Road Vehicle Automation in sustainable urban mobility planning".
Update of the SUMP guidance documents
Since the first edition of the SUMP Guidelines was published in late 2013, it has acted as the main European reference document for urban transport and mobility practitioners involved in the development and implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). Whilst the Guidelines continue to be used extensively, major new trends in many areas of urban mobility have emerged and a wealth of practical SUMP experience has been acquired over the last few years. This meant it was time to rethink and update the original Guidelines.
Afteran intense one-year stakeholder engagement process, coordinated by main authors Rupprecht Consult, the draft second edition of the SUMP Guidelines was officially released at the EU SUMP Conference in Groningen on 17 June. Together with a series of topic guide documents on specific topics, in order to address mobility issues and areas which deserve a particular attention.
Including automation in sustainable urban mobility planning
Based on the work made for the Automation-Ready Framework, CoEXist has been in charge of drafting the "Practitioner Briefing: Road vehicle automation in sustainable urban mobility planning".
The aim of this practitioner briefing is to provide guidance and best practice examples in order to increase the capacity of cities to introduce connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) into their sustainable urban mobility planning processes. This guidance document includes a detailed consideration of Connected and Automated Driving (CAD) from a planning perspective, mapping for the main uncertainties resulting from CAVs and setting guiding principles on how to mitigate them. It also provides recommendation on how the eight SUMP principles can be applied in the context of CAVs.
The document guides planning practitioners and stakeholders by discussing the key factors and actions that need to be considered, in the frame of the SUMP cycle, to address road vehicle automation in the planning process. Among the main recommendations, it highlights the importance of raising awareness and building capacities among local practitioners, about the challenges and opportunities of such an innovative and complex technology. In addition, it recognises the need of adequate transport modelling tools to assess the potential impacts of CAV deployment and make informed decisions. A special consideration is made about the vital relation between public transport and CAD.
Give your opinion
A consultation period has been opened for the practitioner briefing on "Road Vehicle Automation in sustainable urban mobility planning". Urban mobility stakeholders, local authorities and automation experts are all invited to provide their feedback and suggestions. The consultation goes until 30 September 2019, and will finalise with an open discussion at the CIVITAS Forum conference, in Graz, on 3 October 2019.
We look forward to receiving your comments at:

Is there a pre-made list of reasons to avoid Win10? Software-as-a-service being one of them. Telemetry, keylogging, questions of who owns User content and what rights the may not have, the ability of the O/S to search for uninstall "illegal" software, the ability of the O/S to search if it's been cracked or hacked and do a New Install in response/retaliation. These are some things I read on this forum over a year ago. I assume most of them, if not all, are true. Wondering if anyone here ever made a comprehensive list, preferably prioritized so a person in my situation could simply paste it into a thread and make all these dootchbags stfu. Help?

Helvetica is a new work written by Will Coleman and is a dramatic "play about stories." Helvetica is introduced in three different times and how her experiences tell her story. Along with her favorite teddy bear, Myron, Helvetica journeys through her life struggles and reminds herself that to prevail, it's important to hold onto what makes you special. Myron helps narrate the story of Helvetica — a children's book author in the present; a precocious, imaginative child in the past; a sick and deflated artist in the future — by interweaving stories, slices from each time period, into one "book."

Student Stories: Brayan
This is Brayan, one of our first grade students here at the Makarios School.
About four years ago, Brayan and his mom moved from a Haitian community to Pancho Mateo, one of the villages our school serves. His mom spends long hours walking to nearby towns selling fruits and vegetables from a basket she carries on her head. Unfortunately, this means Brayan spends a lot of time alone in his home without much supervision from anyone.
Having grown up in a community where Haitian Creole was spoken and having a mom who only speaks Creole, Brayan didn't know any Spanish when he moved to Pancho Mateo. He had never been to school prior to Makarios and was never fully immersed in a Spanish speaking environment. When Brayan was first enrolled with Makarios two years ago, they worried he might not make it through the year due to his lack of Spanish and how much he was falling behind because of it. It is a requirement that our students speak Spanish because we are a Spanish instructing school. This is part of our goal to help them succeed in this society and to open doors for more opportunities for their future. Throughout his first year, his teachers worked with Brayan on his Spanish to ensure he could stay with Makarios and succeed at our school. One of our Creole speaking staff members would even help translate for his teacher at times.
Now Brayan is completely fluent in both Creole and Spanish and is finishing up his second year at Makarios. He has grown so much since he first joined Makarios and is having a great end to the school year. He loves to read and write and has enjoyed learning how to add this year in math class, as well as learn about the Bible in Bible class. He attends church regularly in Pancho Mateo on his own and loves to learn about the Word. He says he wants to be a pastor when he is older so he can talk about the Word with others and work for the kingdom. We pray that this desire only grows from here, that he will continue to walk with the Lord all his life, and that he will one day preach the Word like he says! Join us in praying these things over Brayan's life.
Since joining Makarios, Brayan now has daily structure, is surrounded by a community that loves him, is taught the Word, is disciplined in a biblical way, is receiving a quality education, and has teachers who care about him and pray for his future.
You too could be a part of the work God is doing through Makarios International. By sponsoring a student like Brayan you not only provide the means for them to attend the Makarios school and receive all the benefits it gives, but you have the opportunity to invest in a child's life and come alongside us in providing them hope for a better future.

A Texas death row inmate who brutally killed his wife and two young stepsons was executed on Wednesday night despite his claim he was intellectually disabled.
Robert Sparks became the seventh inmate put to death in Texas this year, with seven more executions scheduled in the state in the next few months.
Sparks, 45, repeatedly stabbed his wife Chare Agnew in their Dallas home while she was in bed on Sept. 15, 2007. He was condemned for the murders of Harold Sublet, who was 9, and 10-year-old Raekwon Agnew, who were also stabbed to death.
He then raped his two stepdaughters, who were 12 and 14 at the time. At least one of them was present at the execution in Huntsville.
"The day when the situation was going on, he said that we wouldn't make it," stepdaughter Lakenya Agnew told The Associated Press after the lethal injection was given. "Twelve years later, we're both standing here. ... I want him to know we're not suffering. We're hurt emotionally but physically we're fine."

Sparks told police he killed his wife and stepsons because he believed they were trying to poison him. He would tell a psychologist that a voice told him "to kill them because they were trying to kill me."
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that lawyers had not presented enough evidence that Sparks was intellectually disabled. The court also found that lawyers did not raise the claim in a timely enough manner.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday also declined to stop the execution.
Sparks became the 16th inmate to be executed in the U.S. this year. He was pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m.

1. Consume full fat dairy
A new study found in Circulation, a scientific journal published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins for the American Heart Association, recommends the consumption of full fat dairy because it is the best source of long-chain saturated fatty acids and because it reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50%. A second study found in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition proves that consumption of full fat dairy reduces the risk of obesity.
2. Eat lots of fiber
Add vast amounts of fiber to your diet to dramatically reduce the risk of intestinal cancer.
3. Protect the environment
Research reported in Nature Plants confirms that the cost of producing bread is very high unless it is derived from organic farming methods.
4. Buy organic whenever you can
Besides the fact that organic fruits and vegetables contain more antioxidants and fewer pesticides, organic farming methods also have a positive impact on the health of the soil.
5. Use mainly virgin olive oil
Virgin olive oil, a staple of the Mediterranean diet, is associated with better health and specifically protects against stroke, heart attacks and type 2 diabetes.
6. Eat fermented foods daily
Fermentation is an ancient method of preserving food. Recent research also highlights the benefits of consuming Greek yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles and kefir. Naturally occurring bacteria found in these foods contribute to better digestion, leading to easier absorption of nutritional elements. To get the maximum benefit, choose unpasteurized products since pasteurization not only kills off harmful substances, but also the good bacteria.
7. Rediscover ancient seeds
Whole grains such as quinoa, wheat grain, amaranth grain, hulled wheat and teff help balance blood sugar and reduce cholesterol, while also providing your body with more antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
8. Choose fatty fish
Fish high in omega 3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and provide your body with serious benefits. The best sources are sardines and salmon.

Do I Need A Guarantor?
If your credit is good, most lenders would be okay with you not providing a guarantor. Unsecured loans are extra risky for lenders due to the absence of collateral. With no other backing aside from the borrower's creditworthiness, it would be reasonable for lenders to demand extra security. If you currently don't have a credit history, it would be best to go for a guarantor loan.
What If I Miss My Payment?
There are times that this could happen. We understand that there are circumstances that prevents you from paying on time. If you are having difficulties paying off your loans, you can reach out to your lender to provide you with convenient options. Delayed or missed payments could set you back and cost you additional fees and charges.
What Happens If I Lie On My Application?
Even if you're tempted to, don't lie on your application. Once a lie is caught, the lender may void all your application and incur additional fees and penalties. Worse, if you have falsified your documents, you might end up locked in a cell for a very long time.
What Is A Payday Loan?
Payday loans are types of unsecured loans that are easily obtained. If you're in need of immediate cash assistance, payday loans are your best friend. You can have the funds immediately on the same day of application. Repayment terms are also flexible. You can either have it tied on your next paycheck or pay it in advance.
What is a Guarantor Loan?
If you're just started building your credit, you might find it hard to look for better loan opportunities. If that's the case, going for a guarantor loan might be the best for you. For this type of loan, the lender would require a guarantor to co-sign the loan agreement. The guarantor is involved in the lending process. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the guarantor takes the responsibilities to make sure that the debt is paid.
What is a Logbook Loan?
Logbook loans are types of loans that require the borrower to hand over their ownership of a particular asset; a vehicle for example. The loan will be backed by collateral. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender may seize the vehicle and sell it to compensate the loan payment.

Use Cases Industry: Telecomunications
Network monitoring
The management of the network infrastructure involves analysing the data referred to a high number of devices (for example, all business customers). Being able to monitor how much bandwidth is used, and the type of traffic, is very strategic for telco companies. Esplores features are skilled in the analysis of the data (big data) in order to allow a correct management / planning of the bandwidth capacity and its quality.
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
Esplores is particularly suitable to perform an in-depth analysis of the content of data packets traveling through the telecommunications infrastructure, thanks to the native knowledge discovery capabilities. Esplores can analyze the data anonymously with GDPR compliance approach. Esplores is able to analyze data related to the type of traffic, to investigate abnormal downloads / uploads, using anomaly detection methods to protect customers from possible fraudulent use of their telephone connection.
Data monetization
The monetization of data based on location, for example, combined with user profiles (anonymous and aggregated), can be useful to central and local governments to understand how people move from one tourist site to another, or to predict the traffic on a particular route, etc. Esplores allows the analysis of data, both in an aggregate way and in a more detailed way, applying very sophisticated data masking methods to ensure privacy.
Churn analysis
The propensity to churn is an important theme for any company that bases its business on subscription sevices. Esplores is able to manage more types of data and integrate external algorithms to identify a cluster of customers at risk, and therefore be able to act in time to avoid or mitigate this risk with appropriate "personalized" marketing and sales initiatives.

#39 Acupressurize yourself
Exactly how acupressure works is still a mystery to me. Maybe I'd have to grasp the deeper workings of chinese medicine to understand it...ehem, and that's not likely to happen any time soon...
But it works. It's as easy as this picture, grasping the flesh between thumb and index finger/hand, push and hold for as long as you can muster. This point is one of the classic pain-relief acupressure points. Yes it hurts, maybe because it releases endorphins, maybe because it does something "magic" to your energy, whatever it is, it works.
There are lots of other good acupressure points you can use too, find the points in your face/temples/neck that are sore, push gently, hold and release. It's that simple:)
(If this has good effect on you, you may want to check out this book on trigger point self therapy for pain management)

Read these instructions carefully before completing the form. Accuracy and thoroughness will aid in the prompt payment of the claim. Please type or print clearly in blue or black ink. If the form is system-generated, Items 1 through 12 and 14 will be preprinted on the form. Attach an itemized statement specifying the date and a description of the services provided and expenses incurred. For additional guidance, see the Guidelines for Administering the CJA and Related Statutes (CJA Guidelines) Volume 7A, Guide to Judiciary Policy, which is available at www.uscourts.gov.
Appointed counsel may obtain investigative, expert, and other services necessary for adequate representation in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection (e) of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA), 18 U.S.C. § 3006A . Prior authorization from the presiding judicial officer is required for all such services where the cost, excluding expenses, will exceed the limitations listed in § 310.20.30(a). Failure to obtain prior authorization will result in the disallowance of any amount claimed for compensation in excess of those limits, unless the presiding judicial officer, in the interest of justice, finds that timely procurement of necessary services could not await prior authorization. See 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(e)(2) and CJA Guidelines, § 310.20.30(b). Payment for these services should be claimed directly by the service provider on a CJA Form 21, "Authorization and Voucher for Expert and Other Services."
Vouchers should be submitted no later than 45 days after the final disposition of the case, unless good cause is shown
(CJA Guidelines § 230.13(a)). All payments made pursuant to this claim are subject to post-audit; contemporaneous time and attendance records
as well as expense records must be maintained for three years after approval of the final voucher (CJA Guidelines § 230.76). Any overpayments

When starting a workout regimen we frequently all have exactly the exact same question: "Can me workout to get muscle or to get rid of fat?" Though both goals need some form of exercising, gaining muscle normally takes work at the fitness center. The very best way to gain muscle basically entails exercises that involve a very low number of repetitions using a heavier weight that will build more muscle than a greater number of repetitions with lighter weight.
Getting Started Tips
For those people who are serious about gaining muscle mass, here a brief list of hints to consider while exercising.
Restrict Cardio Workouts
Exercising is also important obviously however, you wish to restrict your cardio workout. At most, you would like to do no more than two sessions each week at half an hour per session. For beginners you might choose to put off cardio for 8-12 weeks. During that time you are going to want to work in your diet and training regimen to pack some muscles.
Your goal during that period is to gain 15 to 20 lbs of muscle. Following that, you can start your cardio program as stated above. The main point is that everybody ought to do some type of cardio when gaining muscle but novices should wait till they have their muscle program based.
Any kind of stretching is quite significant along with having occasional massages. Stretching the muscles is going to keep you flexible and help prevent injury and can also be helpful in helping enhance recovery between exercises.
You should never stretch cold muscles. Before stretching you'll want to perform some low extreme action for five to ten minutes. This will heat up your muscles before you stretch them.
You should also stretch without a pain. While extending you can reach the point where you feel a slight pull but do not go any farther to cause pain. To receive the complete advantage of extending, hold the stretch for as many as sixty seconds to gain muscle.
