I did that too. That lead to back pain because you would "twist" yourself to accomodate for that placement. This is true when you do them with a barbell.

You can try to do them with a dumbbell, contralaterally - left leg, dumbbell in right hand.

I love 4:27. That's how my crow acts with me as well.

It does.

"on" = "pe"
"in" = "in"
"at" = "la"

I'm in the train = Sunt in tren
I'm at work = Sunt la lucru
I'm on the scale = Sunt pe cantar

Sometimes people say here "I've been on a train once" when in reality it's "I've been IN a train once" (Romanian). We always laugh at the "on a train" because it means on top of the train.

What does "taking on" mean? Huge props for what? For being "the sentient voice of reason"? Are we living in the same area or something and I wasn't aware of it? Are we knowing the same people? Maybe I'm missing something here.

Used them in the past. However, when you do them, the middle of the bar is displaced from the middle of the moving leg so to speak... and that is sometimes bad for your back. The bar sits in the middle of your body, whereas you're moving with either your left or right leg and sometimes that's problematic.

I'm wondering - how much do you feel you load up on your left leg (the first leg you plant) and how much on "both"?

You know, I was thinking about the "ball wax thing"... why should ball grip be a limitation for dunking? If you want to see how high you can get, you shouldn't be put down because you used ball wax. That shouldn't be an issue. If you jump 8 inches lower because you feel the ball is slippery, how is that "cool" in any way, why should you struggle because of that?

So I don't have a problem with guys using ball wax when dunking. I've used it in the past but it made dunking "artificially". Hard to explain, but I would get "lazy" when using ball wax. Without the ball wax, I would have a "rhythm" about my run-up that I didn't have when I used ball wax, I moved differently. Interesting.

They are being paid very badly so... very few quality people get to be doctors and the old ones are very obsolete and know what they learned during communism.

The thing that bothers me the most is that 1) they all want bribes and 2) they don't "care" about you.

If I were a doctor, I would treat each one of my patients' issues very, very seriously, I would literally care about them, not treat them like I'm a machine with no feelings whatsoever, with the "whatever" attitude. That's not a person I want to talk to, let alone a "doctor".

A "doctor" need to impose respect, needs to be an intellectual through his attitude, his demeanor, his natural ability and inclination to help others, inside him. Not a robot that went to medical school just because his parents said so. A doctor needs to be someone special.
