Any time I see a dude put clamps on a barbell for bench press which it looks like this kid did, I automatically assume he has no clue what the frick he is doing and is a l long shot to do the lift correctly or successfully.


I trained at a place that required the clamps on all barbells for any lift. I never put clamps on the bar for bench - or for any lift really. And every time I'd bench, one of the workers eventually would come by and remind me that clamps are required.

I'd just ignore them and keep lifting.

What is it like to go through your daily routines living in fear?
A lot of people do and some have to.
I do not.


Carrying a firearm doesn't mean living in fear any more than keeping a fire extinguisher in my kitchen means living in fear.

Some people prefer not to carry a firearm, and that's fine. Others do, and that's also fine.

Hopefully they keep the HBO Max format because Paramount + is terrible.

Get it checked out anyway just in case. At the very least get some pain meds to help.

I really enjoyed Hyperion. I think I read all the sequels. But that was years ago.

Paramount is pushing its new G.I. Joe plan in a very specific direction.

After Deadline confirmed two separate G.I. Joe movies in early development, our sources tell us that Paramount wants these projects to feel like a throwback, an “80s style action film” that stays true to the spirit of the animated series.

Here’s what our source told us:

“Yeah, that project's gonna be cool. Paramount wants a throwback, 80s style action film, true to the spirit of the animated series. Still talking to directors.”


I’d read elsewhere that Danny McBride is involved in at least one of the films.

Why would this cut off China's oil supply? Is it not just going to limit worldwide oil supply and push China into other markets? Basically just drive oil higher?


China receives over 20% of its oil from Venezuela and Iran. That oil is highly subsidized. They’re getting that oil for cheap.

Once that spigot is shut off, combined with losing almost exclusive access to the Panama Canal and other shipping channels, their global position diminishes, and their cost of doing business skyrockets.

It’s also a tongue in cheek meme that overly simplifies what’s going on. No need to dwell too much on its meaning.
