    Thats just incredible, I couldn't touch your numbers if I tried. I stopped dead lifting a while ago, because I couldn't maintain my technique well enough at higher weights and feared a lower back injury. Any tips on how to increase my deadlifts and squats, without the loss of technique? Btw, any...

    405lbs! That's just not fair. How much do you weigh? In any case, very impressive.

    Yeah I know what you mean, I also use it to do squats and I need every kind of assist I can find. Finding myself unable to get back up from a squatting position with free weights is my worst nightmare, especially considering how weak my legs are. Spotters don't solve all problems though, I do...

    I use the smith machine for incline bench press as well; my biggest complaint with it is, that it takes away one of the more challenging aspects of bench press and that is balance and the amount your surrounding muscles work just to keep the barbell straight and level. I feel, the compound...

    Wow that's pretty impressive. I, myself, do very little isolated work. Compound exercises are the way to go, but a lot of beginners get intimidated by them. My personal preference are body weight exercises, love doing Pull ups (most people confuse them with chinups), in my opinion one of the...

    Wait...The specialists come to you because of your medical background or your prowess in the gym? Either way I am jealous, took me years of trial and error to discover a diet that worked for me. Actually, my entire reservoir of fitness knowledge is based off of doing things the wrong way, first...

    Errr...yeah, I was THAT guy, with the chicken legs and awkwardly large upper body. My workouts are far more balanced now, I do a lot of squats (with the full range of motion, which most people throw out the window)...but my lower body is still very weak. For comparisons sake, I can benchpress...

    NATO supplies, military bills: Pakistan, US agree on new framework

    That's an interesting point, but it fails where most concepts fail...in the practicality, thanks to the unceasing ability of the human nature to allow emotions and greed to overshadow any needs of the wider nation. A weighted system would fall pray to the same people that take advantage of the...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Sorry about that, I got a bit carried away there. What I meant to ask, more specifically, was in relation to the j-20 employing canards at the expense of LO. Based on my understanding of your posts in the past, regarding control surfaces, I was wondering if TVC (were it available) would be able...

    Chengdu J-20 5th Generation Aircraft News & Discussions

    Could you please shed more light on that? I don't understand what you mean by "range". On side note, the original X-32 and the YF-23 had no canards and both suffered from a relative lack of maneuverability; would they have been able to maneuver with the F-35 and the F-22, respectively, were...

    PAF and US Weapons

    Drone strikes are a necessity of the kind of war being waged on Pakistan's western border. Against a guerrilla force, drone surveillance and strikes put the pressure on the enemy to never settle or risk death. Were this technology available to the US in Vietnam, they would have battered the...

    Ahh now, here's a subject I know a bit about. Being a total loser back in school, and absolutely terrible at all kinds of athletics, I got into fitness when I was only 12. So it's been 12 years since then and I've fluctuated between all kinds of weights and phases. I've been everywhere from 130...

    Hypothetical: Initial Israeli F-15 strike on Iran’s nuclear installations

    Still don't understand the reasoning for an Iranian Nuclear program. If the idea was to gain leverage and garauntee peace through the concept of MAD, then why has Iran been the one proclaiming death to everyone from US to Israel. Pakistan needed nukes to counter an adversary at it's doorstep. On...

    'Israel sells Pakistan military equipment'

    That right there is the crux of the problem, the Pakistanis you have met are far outnumbered by the Pakistanis the rest of us have grown up with...we are Pakistanis. It is unreasonable to expect for there not be those who harbor hatred, but every nation has those types and if we start basing...

    'Israel sells Pakistan military equipment'

    Ah yes, displaying ignorance and generalizing against a people, in your attempt to show them as ignorant and racist. Hypocrisy at it's finest. 90% of Pakistanis don't want Israel's destruction, 90% of Pakistanis couldn't care less about Israel, 90% of Pakistanis are too busy fighting for bare...

    Should I cheat the government?

    There is no reason you can't pay off the loan. The government invests in you, so you can in turn, get a good job. When I graduated from McMaster, I had almost $20,000 in OSAP loans; I've cut it almost in half in less than a year. It's just a matter of prioritizing and realizing you have...

    Fiery SC lays down the law for spy

    As much as I agree with what you're saying; to further your analogy, the problem is: can the patient survive the procedure? Given enough time, every county can figure it out, as the political cycle will eventually, even accidentally allow, the occasional good person into office and allow him to...

    Pakistani Taliban says it killed Chinese woman

    How ironic is that? Killing innocent people to avenge the death of...innocent people. So if someone living within 500 km of you has any part in anything these extremist term as anti-Islamic, you are fair game to be killed? I never understood, why people who support these extremists can't see...

    Pakistan wins it's first OSCAR award!

    Leave it to Pakistanis to not appreciate when their fellow citizens accomplish something worth commending. Also, the fact that the documentary is based on such a tough subject should make it even more impressive. What is better than the voice of all these women being heard on the global stage...

    7 US troops wounded in Afghanistan, as protests against Koran burnings cont

    I think that is a very interesting point; by employing the Quran as means to pass messages that are meant to harm the US(an assumption on my part), these people are disrespecting the Quran and jeopardizing it's very purpose... the end result is one, they have brought upon themselves. Were the...
