Problem is...steroids.

Hmmmmm. I am sure his team could figure out a way to circumvent the issue...

All kinds of ways to circumvent it, but no guarantee that those ways will work. Look at the whole Greek oly lifting team in Beijing.

Thanks. Looks promising for travel.

For home use, do you prefer the foam roller or the tiger tail, or is each tool superior to the other for certain areas?

Foam roller superior for hamstrings, ITB, glutes and back. Tiger tail superior for quads and lower legs. Sitting or lying with the foam roller close to COG is easy, sitting or lying with it farther away is harder. Quads are probably a wash, actually, now that I think about it. But for lower legs, Tiger Tail ftw.

How does the tiger tail compare to the foam roller in terms of efficacy?

From my ten minutes or so messing with the thing, it has pluses and minuses.

Pluses: you can really control where you're applying pressure and how much pressure you're applying; it's portable
Minuses: it's awkward to reach and apply enough pressure to some places (hamstrings, for example) because of the angle you have to work with

The upshot is that it seems like a really useful tool with some limitations.

Couple of things:

!) What's an elbow-out DB row? Why is your elbow out?
@) Hiking FTMFW, that sounds like so much fun. At some point in my life I want to live where there are mountains that high, that easily accessible. East Coast has some nice hills and a couple of sort-of-real mountains but they're far away.
#) How are you figuring kcal?

Thanks fellas.

In other news, I used a "Tiger Tail" last night for the first time. Gonna have to get me one of those at some point. For the time being foam roller + lacrosse ball works great but the roller is, um, kind of hard to carry around. I continue to love my gym. Cool people all around.

Willing to bet that if he decided to practice -- and avoided drug tests -- he could shoot for Rezazadeh's C&J record. He could definitely clean that 245 if he wanted, just based on how easily he was picking it up.

I cannot comment on how well rated he is, but those were some sick dunks, for a fool of a Took, that is.

By underrated I mean that no one talks about Scottie Pippen as a great dunker cause he never won any contests or anything. But as an in-game dunker he was a god damn menace.

And even when he was in contests, he got fucked over by the judges. Case in point, this filthy free-throw-line jam from the 1990 Slam Dunk Contest did not get a 50, while Jordan's more stylish and more famous but shorter dunk did:

That's awesome.

While we're being obnoxious about grammar and spelling, you also forgot to put a comma before "too."
