I may start a workout journal which shall cover everything including how I am able to eat.


I train a little different than I used to but not much.

1 set is usually for 10 reps
2nd set is for 6-8 reps
3rd set is for 2-4 reps
4th set is either a drop set starting with a one rep max or it is an explosive rep with the exercise with the rep count being anywhere from 25-50 reps.

Everyweek of course I try to go up in weight.

I`ll have to start a workout journal or else it won`t make much sense as I tend to name my own exercises at times.

HAHAHHa yes.


An Adonis Curl is performed just like this:

You take an incline bench and set it at a high angle.  Next, you lean your back against it but do not sit down on the bench.  You should be in a standing incline position.  Then you want to rest your arms on your lats far from your sides.  And Curl from that position supinely the whole time.  I bet you will never get a better burn.  Its difficult but worth it.

And I can assume you do not read any books or literature. :)


Can You Start Sentences with “And” or “But”?

In the past, English teachers used to preach that one should never start a sentence with conjunctions like and or but. Does this rule still apply today?

Not entirely. It is already acceptable to start sentences with such conjunctions. Some authorities, in fact, even defend that for some cases conjunctions will do a better job than more formal constructions. Here is a quotation from Ernest Gowers addressing the usage of and on the beginning of sentences:

    That it is a solecism to begin a sentence with and is a faintly lingering superstition. The OED gives examples ranging from the 10th to the 19th c.; the Bible is full of them.

While it is acceptable to use such conjunctions to start a sentence, you should still use them carefully and efficiently, else your text might become choppy.

Secondly, many people still regard such usage as informal. If you are writing a formal piece or if you are not sure how your audience might react to conjunctions at the beginning of a sentence, you could substitute them with more formal terms. Below you will find some examples.

    But I am still awaiting his reply.

Can be written as:

    However, I am still awaiting his reply.
    Although I am still awaiting his reply.
    Nevertheless, I am still awaiting his reply.

    And she was running very fast.

Can be written as:

    Moreover, she was running very fast.
    In addition, she was running very fast.
    Furthermore, she was running very fast.

deicide would laugh at me for laying the smack down on grammar etc... However, :D to write the quoted above "but im still waiting on his reply" in the manner you did "And im still waiting on his reply" is akward and sloppy writing.

you also said supinely which again is akward as that word is traditional used in anatomical terms to refer to a lying position with supinated being used for the limbs.

I dont read much literature mind you, mostly studies, textbooks, articles and course notes. I dont enjoy fiction so my writing leaves alot to be desired.

Pole, thou have been schooled most thoroughly by Master Adam; Take thine lesson and retire to whence thou came, thou most majestic of moribund fuckwits.

Thou are a snivelling wretch, unfit to address those observably superior to thine smug self; Thou exhibit a smugness that [itself] demonstrably appeals to those teenage twinks of Getbig, the aforementioned twinks of which find themselves possessing fuck all other than scant muscle mass, ravaged assholes and an unquenchable thirst for thine bullshit advice.

Now go, disappear, thou failed authority on that which thou choose to spew.

Read literature. It will improve your understanding of the liquidity of prose and sentence structure thereof.  Try your hand at being a Neologist.  Thomas Jefferson thought it was not only necessary but desirable to create new words and expressions. In an 1820 letter to his old friend John Adams, Jefferson wrote:

I am a friend to neology. It is the only way to give to a language copiousness and euphony. Without it we should still be held to the vocabulary of Alfred or of Ulphilas [nearly a thousand years earlier]; and held to their state of science also: for I am sure they had no words which could have conveyed the ideas of oxygen, cotyledons, zoophytes, magnetism, electricity, hyaline, and thousands of others expressing ideas not then existing, nor of possible communication in the state of their language. What a language has the French become since the date of their revolution, by the free introduction of new words! The most copious and eloquent in the living world; and equal to the Greek, had not that been regularly modifiable almost ad infinitum….


Dictionaries are but the depositories of words already legitimated by usage. Society is the workshop in which new ones are elaborated. When an individual uses a new word, if ill-formed it is rejected in society, if well-formed, adopted, and, after due time, laid up in the depository of dictionaries. And if, in this process of sound neologisation, our transatlantic brethren shall not choose to accompany us, we may furnish, after the lonians, a second example of colonial dialect improving on its primitive.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that English has no real rules, and when used by a masterful  writer you just don't care.  :)

Adonis - so basically ... a calorie is a calorie for you?
What's your take on protein intake - more protein more muscle or sure way to turn your body into and acidic enviroment which emits stinky sweat?
