@JamesSurowiecki@blackboxme This is a thing some guys at the gym will do. The reason is simple: they can put more weight on the bar or grab a heavier dumbbell. It looks good. It’s not great for maintaining range of motion, especially as we get older but, for posers, it’s how it looks that really matters.
@RadioFreeTom Huh…Hegseth is one of THOSE guys…the guy who loads up the weight and does half reps. IOW…a poser.
I’d be impressed if he got full extension on those reps.
@smod4real@DavidAFrench One of the unifying themes amongst those who are atoning for lives of addiction or abuse is their admission of the harm they've done to others. Forgiveness is only possible when the person asking for forgiveness understands and admits the harm s/he's caused.
@Patriot007Pete@matthiasundmilo@atrupar Biden's not president anymore. Donald Trump is. He unilaterally levied tariffs and started a war. Both those things drove up the cost of living. Get your head out of your ass...Pete. Be a patriot, not a partisan sycophant. Demand better.
