I think because he was already 37 or 38 at that time, and was suffering from injuries, too. There was no point continuing if both his body and mind are not the way they used to be.

Kinda similar to how Kobe Bryant knew it's time to retire from the game of basketball. He said in an interview ( https://youtu.be/Ya8hY0S-8t0?t=54 ) that he knew it's time when during his morning meditations, his mi

Keyword is scale , specifically massive scale. If your scope is just a couple of (web)servers, then, yeah, you can stick with your tried-and-tested tools and processes. But once you start managing 10s or 100s of servers, including a requir

Maybe because you have been working out since 14, that's why the effect has been negligible or minimal?

Kids and the desire to not be “proper”. Most of these originated from kids, teenagers, or even young adults, who want to do something fun. And what is “fun” is basically the opposite of what we (I’m including myself here because I was one o

Similar thing in the Philippines. A common scenario is someone will invite another to an event, and the answer is "maybe" instead of directly saying yes or no. This also irritated me before until someone gave me a possible explana

Maybe it’s a reference to one of their songs? Not really familiar with NOFX (aside from them being the favourite band of some of my favourite bands), but maybe they have a song about jobs or having a job.

You’d be surprised how the human mind and body automatically reacts to extreme situations that we cannot fathom while sitting comfortably on our chairs. :-)

OK then I misunderstood it, mainly because you said you only need "20% of most used functionalities of lightroom"...

That component of "hanging on for dear life" with deadlifts hits a little bit differently than squats...

Appreciate the offer! I'm actually just lifting for health right now, so most of my goals are to "lift heavier than last week" XD My only specific goal right now is to do more than one slow and proper pull-up. That DL PR, by

Thanks! Appreciate the digital push. :-) I'm just nursing a tennis elbow right now, so I'll probably try again before or by end of July.

I had to put them in quotes because some don't really see it as a hassle... And it also depends on the situation. I for one live 500 meters away from a gym, so that takes away a lot of the normal friction. :-)

As with anything about health, a workout routine is always individualised, not just to the person's specific situation but also for the person's goals. What you illustrated here is perfect for someone who's seriously looking

Nice! You can then buy an adjustable bench next, and that should exponentially multiply the number of exercise possibilities. :-)

If you really mean "pullups" for legs and not just leg training in general, then not much comes into mind aside from leg curls or, as someone else mentioned, Nordic curls. I think the Nordic curls is the only one relatively achiev

Thanks! By the way, I think `3. Weights` should be `3. Free weights` to set them better apart from machines. :-)

Something that might be obvious to some but not to all: "Weightlifting" here means "resistance training" in general, which therefore includes bodyweight training, which therefore is relatively easier to get into, at leas
