OT Thread Part X: No One Here Sleeps

[Krams]

Breaking Bad is great.

Just started season 2.

It's an incredible show. The transformation of Cranston's character is something to behold.

So...
My teacher comments in gym said that I'm always prepared, perform well, and always work hard.
Yet the guy that doesn't show up to class half the time got a higher grade....

 

[Clowes Line]

Is he very good at gym?

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I remember my 8th grade gym teacher only made us play basketball. That's it. No joke, this was all we did every single day for the year.

 

[Kakko]

Is he very good at gym?

No. Not even close to it.

We just started basketball last week, and the teacher put me in the beginner group, because he doesn't know enough about me.

I played on the school basketball team 2 year ago...

I never did much gym in my high school years. I got fed up with square dancing and "everybody wins" crap garbAge.

 

[Krams]

Pretty sure I failed gym last quarter.

What?

Everybody wins? That's a lot better than: loser does 20 push-ups

And... Square dancing?
I actually did it 2 weeks again my school trip. It was so stupid... But kinda fun

 

[Kakko]

Not sure if I should be proud or sad about this

Finally starting to get my resumes into the hands of the right people. However, it just occurred to me that the ticket operations crew of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers probably won't take too kindly to the fact that I include my New York Rangers blog on my resume.



EDIT - And throwing out a shot in the dark, does anyone have any idea what kind of salary a ticket sales rep earns for an AHL team? Got to be at least $25K, + commission, right?

Would rather lose and do 20 push-ups than lose an get told everyone wins. Lol

Breaking Bad is amazing. Been thinking of going as Walt for Halloween.

Yes its extremely early, but I'd go all out and shave my head so I need some thought put into it.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Go as Pierre.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Go as Pierre.

This would be an excellent idea if I lived in Canada. No one around here would get the joke.

Do it still

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

Go as Pierre.

This would take even more work. He would need to study a list of where every single player in the NHL played their junior hockey. That seems like a pretty big commitment on top of shaving your head bald.

You'd also need to grow a goatee and find some sort of hazmat jumpsuit.

 

[Krams]

That was easy.

I also just want an excuse to run around and scream at people, "JESSE, WE HAVE TO COOK".

I know some of you guys are gym freaks, so I have a question. How do I gain stamina? I quit smoking a year ago and I still get out of breath after riding a bike for like to blocks. I go up a flight of stairs in school and I'm also out of breath. Should I just run on a treadmill or something? If so, yeah, I get out of breath..

You have to do some form of cardio. I like running, others are into cycling. Those aren't the only two options though.

Do HIIT. Get on a stationary bike. Not the kind that has a reclined back; the kind that only has a seat and you can lean over the handle bars while you pedal. Put the resistance up a little bit, but it should still be easy. Like 3 to 5, assuming the machine goes up to 15. Start pedaling at what you would consider a "jog" pace for about 2 minutes to warm up. When the timer hits 2:00, pedal as hard as you humanly can until the clock hits 3:00. Slow down to what you would consider a "walk" pace and catch your breath until the timer strikes 4:00, then resume the all out sprint until the timer hits 5:00, and back down to the walk until 6:00. Keep repeating for 10-15 minutes.. For example, last time I did this, I looked at the RPMs. At the jog pace I was around 88-90 RPMs to warm my legs up. At the flat out sprint the RPMs jumped up to around 125-140. At the walk pace I kept the RPMs at around 75.

Doing full minute intervals for a full 10-15 minutes might be hard at first, so adjust your intervals to your fitness level. Do 45 second or 30 second intervals. Or do 45 seconds of sprint and 60 seconds of walk. Don't include the 2 minute warm up in the 10-15 minutes. This will 100% guaranteed increase your stamina. You can do it every day, no rest is required and if you start with 30 second sprints and 60 second rests, for example, by the end of the week you will easily be doing 45 second sprints, and so on.

Alright, thanks. I'll start tomorrow.
