I think this might be a slippery slope. Even after women are allowed to try, many "pc"  advocates will start saying "why aren't there any women still " or "why only 3 women in the SEALS" and push for changing standards or find another way to shoehorn them for "equality". It is doubtful they can withstand the exact same standards (and treatment) but let them have a go on absolutely equal terms and let them see what happens.
Unit/team coherency would be another issue that should be taken into account.

The old lady looks healthier than him.

MY THOUGHT ARE: DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT HE DOES.

For about the same price you can get the Charger SRT8 or the Chrysler 300 SRT8 with 470hp.
And then there other cheaper options of a slightly different nature like the Taurus SHO (3.6 Turbo 365 hp AWD).

That's a damn hairy and pointy chin.

True, he looks more like 71, not 91. Great for him.

I'd wager the actual numbers are much greater (too many undocumented illegals).

Crazy Falcon genetics.

Yes his son can play with my son maybe. maybe they can grow up together and share the love for the sport of bodybuilding.

Yes I usually de-load or might take a week off every 10-12 weeks or so.

Who is she?

The new Conan movie "Legend of Conan" is supposedly going to be about an old King Conan who knows he is older and obviously won't be as panther-ish and physical as Conan usually is. This is what the director says:

“I want the warrior whose joints have started to fuse together, who has to crack the cartilage so he can pick up a sword again. I want the guy who’s not necessarily lost a step, but there’s some rust he has to shake off. I want to embrace that. It makes it a greater hero story. Conan needs to be faced with challenges. The greatest challenge to him isn’t the armies that are set before him. It’s, on some level, self-doubt, a little bit of slowing down and forcing yourself to be heroic beyond what people expect of you. What I don’t want is for him to step back in and look the same. That would defeat the purpose of our story.”

This approach sounds realistic and the look below is suitable for an old King Conan but I don't think Arnold can pull off the no armor look anymore without cgi or a body double.



Maybe 10 years ago Arnold could pull off this look but not today I'm afraid:

Visually it looks like 300 but the events are a bit different. Eva Green is an interesting choice.
The historical Artemisia was very dynamic for a woman of her time, commanding a small fleet, but also very cunning: when she realized she was being chased by an Athenian ship and about to be sunk she attacked one of her allies and was thus mistaken for a Greek ship and managed to escape.

Hahaha, they blurred the eyes of the dog and the pig!

I wouldn't want to do a trackday with this tire/wheel combo.

 Though I've seen some reviews I don't agree 100% with, he is very honest and straight forward and definitely one of the best car journalists out there.
He revealed something that was pretty much known but no one had the balls to admit-which magazine would want Ferrari telling them they won't get any Ferrari to test from now on.

This Jalopnik article started the shit storm:

Amazing! This thread has a lot of potential...

Exactly, it is protocol and the majority of people do it anyway out of tradition and respect for the flag.

Obama certainly didn't make a good showing there, especially for a high ranking elected official.

(a) Designation.— The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.
(b) Conduct During Playing.— During a rendition of the national anthem—
(1) when the flag is displayed—
(A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note;
(B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and
(C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and
(2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.


Keyword is "should", not "must".

This paragraph from the LA Times article sums it nicely:

While Jillian Michaels fans must be frothing at the mouth, I think when a person proclaims the only way to get in shape is through hard work (true), then adds her name and image to a brand of diet pills (hypocritical), then faces a class-action lawsuit over the lack of efficacy regarding said diet pills (unsurprising), coupled with myriad examples of unqualified and unsafe training along with outrageous weight loss claims, then it's time to find a new source of fitness education and inspiration.

If it wasn't for the Biggest Loser show, "coaching" people with zero willpower she wouldn't even be a dime-a-dozen "personal trainer" you see in the gym.

All media hype. She has her name on a shitload of products, she has "written" books and markets herself as "America's toughest trainer" (I guess Louie Simmons is a wimp then).

I remember that, it was 2006.

Arnold has to show up and humble Lou every once in a while.

The most widely circulated rumor that I remember about Mentzer was that he was heavily into drugs like speed and cocaine.
As for him making a comeback near the time of his death, if you see some of the last videos he did he looked like a wreck, hunched and out of shape.

Great bodybuilder though both him and his brother Ray (Ray was very strong in his prime).
