I have an open question about squat form. Should one pull arms under the bar, or keep them back and high? I have seen mixed opinions on this.

It's really great that you're doing something like this. Props

thanks man. just trying to do my part in fixing this 'journals go nowhere' issue we see for the most part on forums.

other coaches need to open up their training more, show detailed journals of their athletes, so that we can all progress this damn s&c like it should be.

peace man!

Wikileaks needs to turn its eye to S&C.

When you reply to a thread you get taken to the subforum that the thread is in. I think it would be better if it took you back to the thread you posted in.

Welcome.

Grip and hand training is awesome. Crazy how people can find so many ways to train such a small part of the body.

I think Nabokov's point was that his brain was completely incapable of appreciating the structure. It just had absolutely no effect on him whatsoever.

he was a tard then.

you know what's cool, people whose brains have the auditory and visual centers that "share" the same pathways.. they end up hearing sounds/instruments and seeing colors/splashes of colors/objects.. shit is like a non-stop adobe after effects video.. i can see how it would get annoying but for the most part, that sounds pretty badass.

Synaesthesia. It is 8 times more common in people with creative profession than in the general population.

It is badass.

Texture/shape and voices are intertwined for me.

"Music, I regret to say, is only an arbitrary succession of more or less unpleasant sounds."

-Vladimir Nabokov

I don't happen to agree with the guy but I love that quotation.

I do not agree, as I recognize what music can be, but I certainly relate.

Maybe you are just a very analytical person  ;D.

Yup.

I do not understand music. The sounds (as in, not the lyrics) elicit no emotional response in me. Merely the lyrics suffice to do that. My tone sensitivity is not very great, so often I struggle to make out the lyrics.

I do, however, respect the genius required for the most high level of creation of any kind, music is no exception.

Is it that way with all music for you?

I am not a very huge listener anymore, but when I am in the mood I can listen to music all day and do nothing else really. Unfortunately I rarely have the time to do so anymore :(.

If I may give advise to you: Enjoying music is something that can be learned just like enjoying other forms of art. And learning to enjoy it can be a very rewarding thing to do!

I can enjoy music, but it is in a merely analytical way, much in the same way I enjoy the visual arts. I do find some sounds, tastes, smells, textures and visuals pleasant or unpleasant, but beyond that, rarely is a strong emotional response evoked. I examine, analyse in order to enjoy. Left-brain, right-brain.
