    Indy, try chest+tris. Bench will hit your tris quite hard, so after you're done with your tris the burn is insane! Last exercise: dips. Your triceps will be crying.

    I used to do chest+bis like most people (we used to call it "copacabana training") but i switched it up the last couple of years with great results!

    Edit: I don't lift anymore :(

    Yeah I might do dips to failure after my chest workout. Chest day takes so long, so I normally get bored and leave before I hit the arms!

    Sure why not. Started going to the gym again after about a 3 year hiatus! Went from 183 lbs to 192 lbs of mostly clean bulk in about 8 weeks. But the 2 weeks of winter festivities has pushed me to 197 lbs, and the extra 5 lbs is mostly fat!

     

    I'm trying to get my bench to 220, but I'm on about 175 lbs at the moment. I think i can probably do 200 lbs as my 1 rep max. But I'm quite impressed, I remember I used to struggle with 110 lbs when I first began!!!

     

    My squat is about 175 lbs on 5x5

    Deadlift is 250 lbs 5x5

     

    I normally do a 4 day split: Chest/Biceps, Back, Legs, Shoulders/Triceps

     

    Biceps normally gets neglected because I've noticed them getting bigger without doing too much. I'm a strong believer in working out large muscle groups to stimulate as much growth hormone as possible. I think i'm starting to max out my beginner gains, but luckily i'm quite a big build naturally so it's not too bad.

     

    Come February I think i'll start a 6 week cutting phase, and then re-assess. I'm at about 13-14% body fat, but that's mostly due to central fat. My legs are at about 12% and my arms are 7%, so my fat tummy is keeping me down. I'd love to make the push and finally get them abs! 

     

    Work is starting to get in the way now though, I have a 12 hour shift some days, and I don't like working out on weekends.

    Dozy, my brother had this problem on his PS4. We took off the cover and tightened one of the screws, hasn't been a problem since.

     

    You basically have to do this, but instead of loosening the screw, tighten it:

    Here's another walkthrough:

    Also, it doesn't void your warranty because you're only removing the superficial cover.

    Just finished reading Gone Girl... I know, the hype caught up to me. I thought the book was mediocre at best. The concept was interesting, but as with many whodunnit novels, I only kept reading to finish the book. It didn't capture me much. And also, the protagonist reminded me of myself too much, and he was a bit of an asshole. 

     

    Any recommendations?

    I think one of the first pages has a few photos of Lisbon, but I have since relocated to the UK, so here we go again.

    I live in a medium sized town in the UK called Maidstone, it's situated in the south east and about an hour away from London via train. I've lived here for over 10 months now.

    A river separates the town:

    Maidstone-0409-2890x-town-lucy-paintbox.

    Sometimes there are floods:

    Town centre, where you can find random commerce:

    The centre gets extremely busy during weekends, especially if the sun is out. Here you can find plenty of dodgy looking people, beggars and women wearing tracksuits with a LOT of babies.

    Outside of town there are plenty of parks, this is actually pretty cool, Maidstone is in Kent which is know for it's greenery:

    It can get sort of boring in here sometimes, but there are train stations that can take you to London quickly, or to the shores down south. If you live close to the centre, it's a nightmare to park your car, which is why I still don't have one.

    My girlfriend (I know, sorry), lives in Kent. I can't believe they charged me £2 to use a bridge! We went to Bluewater Shopping Centre. It's a nice place actually, I'm sure I'll have to be there more often now.

    Don't know how it is in the states, but we often move patients onto other wards if the current one is full. They're called outliers. But it's good to know that it's all resolved. Although, foot care in diabetics is so important I cannot stress it. Needs to check her feet daily for any damage as she won't feel anything due to the neuropathy.

    In terms of the blood pressure, top number is systolic and represents pressure during the ejection phase of your heart beat. Bottom pressure is diastolic and represents the pressure during filling of the heart. It should be less than 120/80 ideally, it will raise normally in certain conditions. You probably had some white coat syndrome, causes raise in BP and heart rate. Any heart rate below 100 is okay.

    QD, you should seek medical attention.

    Or preferably just take a picture and let us admire it.

    The only reason I don't have an iPhone is because I can't personally justify buying something that is more expensive and get no pros out of it. Both operating systems have matured, except one is always bundled in a more expensive way, and like Indy pointed out, I like being able to install torrent downloading apps, have applications that simplify torrent searches and just generally illegally download crap.

    I'm sure you have contract prices in England that dramatically reduce the price to something like $199, $299, $399, etc.

    I'll keep saying it, after a year or two if you want to upgrade to a newer iPhone, I've gotten all my money back, if not more which went to the newer model by selling it. You can go with the cheap plastic phone with upgrades that are periodic and random (I still like the Android OS, my grandpa had an HTC before switching to the iPhone and I thought it was really cool) or a quality built phone with yearly scheduled updates and regular bug fixes.

    I don't want to get into long term contracts. I'm a dirty foreigner, there is no way I'm signing a 2 year contract to own a phone, I might fuck off to Malta in a week for all I know.

    Fucking immigrants :P

    Anyway, would just like to add that iPhone definitely has a better music player than my Xperia. There are a few features that I miss. But I still can't see myself going back.

    I've had the iPhone 4 and 5, but I feel that upgrading iPhone just doesn't feel like an upgrade. Don't get me wrong, they're great phones and very safe options. You know you're always going to get an excellent product. This time around I bought the Sony experia Z3 and I have no regrets. It's an amazing phone. I can use it underwater! I can download torrents on the bus, i can play my PS4 in the shower... Amazing camera too. I'm glad I've switched to android, i can't see myself going back to iPhone.
