- Arching didn't get banned, they just changed the requirement for the angle of your elbows. It's silly and will be incredibly difficult to enforce. I do not envy the judges. It only applies to a federation I have never and will never compete in so I'm just loling at the lifters who got stuck with that bag of nonsense. My elbows hit 90 degrees at the bottom of a press even with a big arch because I have giraffe length arms, so meh.
Powerlifting = moving the most weight possible in the most advantageous way possible within the rules, which means you use your natural leverages to any advantage you possibly can. Never understood why that angers certain people but I can outlift 99% of them, so again, meh.
- Why is it every announcer who works with Jim Nantz suddenly can't stop saying "Jim" every 15 seconds? "You gotta squeeze the pumpkin, Jim." "Augusta is beautiful, isn't it Jim" "*vaguely drunk-sounding comments*, Jim!!"
- Fiance had his bachelor party this weekend and they ended up at some strip club in Nashville that was BYOB, so one of the guys walked back to their house and filled 3 garbage bags with beer and walked all the way back. First of all, that guy is a legend, and second, I had no idea some clubs were BYOB. Obviously they got complimentary penicillin shots on their way out, don't worry.
- I have to google "complement v. compliment" every time. I have stationary/stationery locked down, though.
- I banned bowties from my wedding. I also banned "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz and "All of Me" by John Legend. GTFO.
- Started The Patient and even with serious tone, I can't unsee Michael Scott.
- Is "we're focusing on strengthening the OL" the Bengals version of the Tubby "we're going to play more uptempo"? Poor Joey B.
