  1. I worry that there is a very high likelihood of more and more over the next few weeks. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would imagine that something like this carries momentum as other twats see the 'success' and want in on the action. I see the van used was an hourly rental van. There's literally nothing to stop someone going down tonight, renting one and doing the same thing again, to have their name plastered all over the globe.

  2. I wonder why the Police decided to shoot to kill rather than just shoot to neutralise threat, like legs.

     

    Would having the terrorists alive not help getting more information and intelligence about the plot and the possible network behind it?

     

    As far as I know there is no such thing as shooting to neutralise in law enforcement - if a trigger is pulled, the aim is at the center of mass (chest) to minimise chance of missing. Aiming for legs would be nearly impossible, and there would be stray bullets flying down streets.

     

    Also at least one of them was wearing a fake bomb belt.

  3. Anyone got a session planned for today? After a not remotely enjoyable leg session yesterday (just because it was legs...lol) I'm back to chest/tris - yay! I have a little bit of wrist pain which I hope won't affect my bench / OHP.

     

    We have a sauna / steam room / ice bath in our campus gym, which I've only used once so I might head in to that after.

  4. I was at a wedding last weekend. Tried on my trusty old suit and burst out laughing when I wasn't physically able to sit down or reach for anything. Glad to see I'm getting some gains objectively, but there are definitely some belly gains too :lol: .

     

    I see what you all mean about getting a shirt that fits your shoulders/arms and then looking like a bag of fabric everywhere else lol. Would you be tempted just to buy a nice shirt that fits up top, and get it tailored to bring it in tighter around the waist? I think it's quite cheap to do that.

  5. The increase in insurance is due to the perceived increased risk. And also because its a niche market.

     

    But what increased risk? I've owned a modified 350z before, as well as other fast cars. The only thing that has changed since my last one is I have more experience and more NCB, which should make it come down not go up!

     

    I totally agree, in fact I had a wee rant here about insurance a few weeks ago lol.

  6. clearance issues that you get with the ark

     

    Wasn't aware of clearance issues with the Ark....anyone care to add?

     

    Hmm, haven't had that myself. As you can see in my photo below, it does sit quite low, but the low part is directly at the axle - so it will raise up when your wheels go over a speed bump. I've never had that part scrape.

  7. Could y'all take a look at this 90kg deadlift form? Previously struggled with issues such as hips rising early and knees scraping, but I've sorted that now. Starting with my hips higher allows me to have tension on my hamstrings/glutes before the bar is lifted. If I was to have one criticism about my form, it's that I'm bringing my hips down too low when setting the bar back down. That's just something I need to work on - maintaining tension during the last portion of the lift. I think I'm worried about hamstring tear or something by stretching them too much on the set down.

     

  8. Totally understand this is an insurance-wide thing, and they all do it. However just because its normal doesn't mean it's right or sensible. I think it's beneficial to make grievances about things like this, rather than allowing companies to just normalise it. Instead of getting a very substantial amount of money from me, they've decided to try to fleece me out of a relatively small amount more and will ultimately get none, most likely. Strange system.
