  1. Exactly... it is what you make of it... as long as they don't kick you out for being too hot Philly, so don't wear that halter top.

     

    As for me, I'd probably last about 30 minutes into my first workout and they'd ask me to leave... which is fine and why I don't go there.

     

    ...and don't get me wrong, the gym I go to is far from perfect.  Yes I can squat and dead and all of that fun stuff, but whoever runs that place needs to take an aesthetics course from some Junior college because the way they have it setup is just about as dumb as it could be.  Everyone is literally on top of everyone else...

     

    secretly i go at 2am so all my hotness doesn't make all the colds feel cold in comparison to all my hotness doing hot things. i wear long sleeves so my hot noodle guns won't make everyone go unconscious

  2. There is honestly nothing wrong with PF.  Sure, they make some, shall we say, "odd," business decisions, but their equipment and everything is fine for about 90% of people that work out.  Their may be some people in there making some counteractive choices, e.g., the whole pizza day thing, but that doesn't affect anyone else, so it's really of no consequence.  People just tend to hate on it because it's the "it" thing to do.  Truth is, the membership is cheap, they have good equipment, and I think all of them have tanning beds.  If it weren't so damn convenient for me to go to Gold's, I'd sign up at PF.  Only bad thing is there isn't a lot to look at . . . 

     

    PF has plenty of major deficiencies, but it's great for what it is: a $10 a month place to lift weights. few enough people take it seriously that it's easy for those that do to take advantage. my workouts tend to be late at night, between 11pm and 3am, often after i get off work, and i pretty much have the entire place to myself. my weak ass doesn't need to be throwing around dead lifts and poo anyway, i'm just trying to get back into decent shape.

     

    i set my fitness goals last year when i turned 29: by the time i turn 30, i want to be able to perform measurably better than i did a decade prior when i was in the USMC, which means beating my best USMC physical fitness test score when i was in my prime, at the end of officer candidate school in quantico. my best score was perfect on the abs/core (100 situps in two minutes) 14 chinups (out of 20) and a 3-mile run time of 20:28 (18:00 being a perfect score.)

     

    my goal is to beat that collective score. i started in earnest this past december, spent the last month and a half basically getting back in gym shape, re-learning my limits and developing workout strategies. i've never been much for weight benches but i've been all over it, along with cardio, the occasional run, and free weights. at the end of the month i'll take a full PFT to see where i am in comparison to my final goal.

     

    for this plan planet fitness is perfect, though i do skip pizza day.

  3. obvious spoilers ahead

     

     

     

    I binged watched the show a few weeks ago. Are they planning on only having like 4 total seasons? Kevin Spacey's character arc is on an exponential scale right now, and it seems like there is no where to go but down- which obviously is going to eventually happen. 

     

    Also were people really upset Peter Russo died? I thought his character was not that great. He was like the shoehorned guy that you want to feel bad for, I did however like Zoey. 

     

    I like the show, but I don't see how they are going to turn this into 7 seasons.

     

    agree, i think it peaked too early. should've saved that milestone for the end of season three. it'll have to involve some serious shifts in focus to stretch on with the current character dynamics.

  4. Feb. 27th...I was sad to find it's not being released on Valentine's Day like last year. 

     

    once again they're dropping it squarely in the middle of an incredibly busy semester knowing full well i'm fug my grad school schedule just to binge it… selfish bastards

  5. meh. when all the in-depth stories become about your players it's probably pretty cool. seeing hour-long specials on cam's car wreck and an interview on how fozzy's career rose from nothing and depthy examinations of the panthers improved offensive line play would've been cool as fug this year. i wouldn't have been able to work the past week and i'd be useless this week.

  6. Seattle wins in the luckiest fashion known to man: "Don't point out their luck, they won clean, it was clutch! Why you gotta hate!"

     

    Patriots win a blow out: "Rar I bet they cheated. I'm not sure how... um... deflated balls! Thats it! I'm so mad!"

     

    on point as usual

     

    i exorcised by hatred of the patriots once we smacked them down in 2013 on MNF. my seething detestation has morphed to begrudging respect over the past decade and now matured into an acknowledgement of one of the best coaching/quarterbacking tandems in the history of the league. i hate them because they're damn good.

     

    i hope one day we get to be the league's bad guys.
