He's 6', probably about 220. Not 100% sure of the weight but he's no more than an inch taller than me.
Anyway, the one time I saw him do it he was wearing jeans, working with a client. As she was leaving he just kind of wandered over to the bar, grabbed it and snatched it. Real casual, no fus. Blew my mind.

Okie doke. You and the apparently dozens of researchers that love the 2D:4D theory might be right about all of this. I'm just saying, it's is all a bit too much like eugenicists or craniometrists trying to determine who's more or less likely to be a criminal, or more or less "intelligent," based on cranial cavity size or facial features. That was all exposed as a farce many decades ago.
So I'm inclined to be skeptical.

It's ridiculous how far the bar pops off his chest when he's resetting. I mean, I know that always happens a little bit but it looked like a foot there!
(Apologies for any incorrect lifting terminology.)

BW = idk but I'm about to buy a scale
SORENESS = glutes, hamstrings, traps
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = none
DIET = solid, bout to get more solid
s2: power
- RATING (7/10)
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes x 5: so sore...
- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins: game going so subbed:
depth jumps 3x3
depth drops 3x3
- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5: I am just not a reactive dude
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5: these were better, actually
- SQUAT: 3x8: 195,195,195
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF: (+8) 15,15,15 PR -- add weight next time
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF: 8,8,8 -- first two sets to 9 next time
- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?): med ball throws x3
OH x20
side x10e
- STRETCH
Still trying to figure out the best way to fill in the form, so it's easiest to read.

« on: January 10, 2011, 05:21:39 pm »
Sorry for wack formatting, originally recalled in a gchat conversation. Looking at it this way, kind of poetic:
i had a dream last night
i was picked up and driven to work, very late
for some reason i was confused and out of it
my mom was driving and i think lincoln and jack were also in the car
discombobulated is the right word, not really foggy or drugged or anything
and when i got to work, i realized i still just had sweat pants on
and i freaked out
tried to calculate whether it would be worse to go home and change and be even later
or to roll up to my desk in sweats
my mom was running late for wherever she was going, so she was in a rush
and trying to get me to hurry up and get out of the car
i was trying to figure out whether it would be worth trying to convince her to drive me back home
then i woke up

Aaaaand boom goes the dynamite:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19553247Nevertheless, here we demonstrate that the sexes do not greatly differ in the scaling between the 2nd and 4th digit. Sexual differences in 2D : 4D are mainly caused by the shift along the common allometric line with non-zero intercept, which means 2D : 4D necessarily decreases with increasing finger length, and the fact that men have longer fingers than women. We conclude that previously published results on the 2D : 4D ratio are biased by its covariation with finger length. We strongly recommend regression-based approaches for comparisons of hand shape among different groups.
