    Broke my effing toe...

    I have fractured toes 4 times, 3 times while learning various kinds of somersault and once by missing the trampoline. I'd try to avoid walking and wearing shoes as much as possible for a few days, After that you should be fine. I went to the doctor the first couple of times but they just said to...

    Why do you exercise?

    I do gymnastics. I do trampolining and tumbling because it's fun, great conditioning, improves coordination and agility and I can do it with my kids. I do rings for vanity and a sense of achievement. At my age (late 30s), many of my friends and colleagues already have physical difficulties...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Not fanboy at all. Intricacy has nothing to do with quality. This amounts to saying: "Julius is unarguably better quality than RO, look, this design in a completely different style that appeals to a different audience proves it." The whole RO vs. Julius quality debate seems to be between...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    This is where the Julius vs RO quality argument should end - look at this thing. From a construction standpoint, it's just a very, very intricate piece made with cleanliness and precision that Olmar and Mirta do not do. The way the seaming lays flat and cleanly intersects with the other seaming...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Length is one of the reasons I like RO. Most clothes seem to be made for people under 6 ft.

    Help Mafoofan Help Himself

    1. Diet: just try to cut out processed foods. If you've managed to get through your 20s without turning into a lardball you're probably not eating that much more than you need anyway. 2. I assume you have some kind of smartphone. Download a few apps like 100 push ups, 20 pull ups, 100 squats...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Do the thickness of the Rick leather differ between s/s and f/w? I would only assume the ss ones are 'thinner'. Wonder if they could stand through Toronto fall/winters. I wear my RO with a BBS boiled wool vest over the top, works fine down to - 7 or 8 C.

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    Would a L or XL RO Mollino be better for a slim 44 with a decent drop? (20" shoulder, 43" chest, 32.5" waist) I'm 43 chest 31 waist and my size L is big enough to wear with a sweater.

    Healthiest Cities To Live In

    It's not necessarily the pollution that causes your kids' problems, and clean places won't necessarily be any better. New Zealand has the highest child asthma rates in the world.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    I like cottage cheese with chili flakes, pine nuts and a bit of honey.

    Random fashion thoughts

    Loudly spitting phlegm on a nice restaurant's tile floor and throwing your cig butts around when there's an ash tray on your table isn't different mores and codes. Pushing old people out of the way so you can sit on a bus/train where you're supposed to yield to old people anyway isn't different...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    explain to me what the heck GPP is GPP comes from the Russian 'obshchaya fizicheskaya podgotovka', which is what they call phys. ed. and also used to use in the sense of fitness and conditioning. Some joker thought it would sound clever to use it in English. In Russian it has now been largely...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    You could try a ladder as well. 1 pull up, 15 sec pause, 2 pull ups, 15 sec pause, 3 pull ups etc. Keep going until you can't add one.
