Both are fine, as long as you weigh it up first.

Ivan Zamerano should have faced criminal prosecution for that stunt. Like I said, I’m a purist.

I’m a purist. Don’t like it.

Absolutely brilliant.

Not what it’s cracked up to be, then?

Surely we could offer a lot more than that?

Arguably the most important signing we will make this summer. Delighted.

Wolves home and Valencia away are really ugly.

I’m exactly the same. It’s become an addiction to the point where I don’t think I could fall asleep, or at the very least take forever to fall asleep, without it. Which sounds bad, but before podcasts I would take forever to fall asleep anyway. It’s been much better since I discovered I could listen to other people’s thoughts rather than my own.

Just when you think it can’t get worse, Laura Ingraham on Fox News compares child concentration camps to summer camp.

I’ve been talking about him for a while already. I think he’s very good, potentially great. Strong, quick, extremely intelligent, can pass. I think he’ll move for about 20m sooner rather than later but I’d be surprised if it was to us.

Having seen clips from the game, I can see why the Argies are a bit upset with the ref.

Sounds like you need to focus on weights for what you want to achieve. I personally prefer the big barbell excercises and have found Stronglifts extremely effective in the past. However, if you have good reasons to avoid those lifts, there are plenty of ways to do it and I’m sure a good personal trainer could help you. If you don’t mind looking like a complete tit, I find kettlebells are a decent way to get a fairly effective all round workout without risking injury. I can totally relate to the feeling skinny but having certain areas you want to firm up. I’m also tall, and body weight work outs are hard for me too. I think you can rest assured this is entirely normal, though. To have the body of a professional athlete, in your 30s, working full time, requires a level of dedication it would be unfair to expect from oneself. Personally, I can’t see how I could even spend three nights a week in the gym right now.

His base would probably love it too.

So, Trump is getting his North Korea style parade in DC today and will use the stage to hold a campaign rally in front of the Lincoln memorial. Yuk.

I find shaking fat, for me, is easier than gaining muscle. Regular, intensive work outs combined with counting and logging your caloric intake will lead to weight loss. It’s easier said than done, but it really is simple maths. Weight loss, if that’s what you want, really is all about motivation and determination. For gaining muscle, I’d try Stronglifts 5x5 if you haven’t already. Yes, it involves squats and deadlifts but if you do it right, study the instruction videos and don’t try to rush the progression, you should be fine. Last time I tried it, I rushed it on squats and deadlifts, and I’m still paying the price. However, I have previously found deadlifts in particular to be very helpful for lower back issues. Doing both at the same time is difficult, I find. To gain muscle, you need a caloric surplus and it’s hard for me to find the right balance. However, I’d say focusing on muscle gain will probably get you closer to the physical result you probably want. If you can, try to add a cardio day to your 3/week Stronglifts routine and see how it works.

America does have a certain untangible feeling about it. Describing it as being in a movie isn’t entirely crazy, I suppose. I love it, by the way. Going back in six days, first time since 2012, and I can’t wait.

Why, he’s imperative.

That 3rd kit might be hard to resist.

So the westermost point of the US is at 179 degrees east. Gotcha

Wtf happened there, anyway? I’m sure it’s like the worst kept secret on the internet or something, but it’s very odd.

I think I’m more happy about the fact that this circus is over than I am about the fact we won both games. I hope this is never repeated. I hated it.

And in a stunning plot twist, it will be revealed that Less is in fact Mor.

I think @NurembergVillan may have something to say about this.

@maqroll Don’t know if you watched it, and while I’m happy with a W, that game was a mess. Not a good advertisement for baseball, even though I’m sure it will be sold as that.
