Fanart - TFA Skids and Mudflap (sketch)

.... " So technically, Skids and Mudflap grew up in the "ghettos" of Cybertron. :p But they aren't gangsters like the movie version. Rather, Skids is a bit of a brainy bot. Mudflap is the dumb weightlifter brother. The idea I had for them was that they come to Earth and become wannabe gangsters - 1950s gangsters! WACKY! So yuh, not much to them, but I like the designs. They were fun to work with....

I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.

... out the triangle fold works perfectly. Yay for periods being significantly less gross with no risk of TSS! I can't feel a thing, but the real test was using it during training today. I'm a weightlifter/strength athlete and I take my training seriously. Absolutely ZERO leakage or pain, and I could front squat like the hardcore meathead I am. I might just put that on my car for the lulz....

... so he thought of them, and so they would always be) were poised -- waiting for him, he knew, but fully engaged, enrapt, in each other. Teal'c was in the middle, fully nude, tensed like a weightlifter in competition, his gaze locked on Jack's face, his fist moving carefully and tenderly as he held Jack on the point of orgasm. Jack, however, braced against Teal'c's strokes as he was, had his eyes ...

Samhaintide: Past is Prologue

...everything. The accident affected my body, of course, but also my livelihood, and most significantly, my emotional sense of power and well-being. I went from feeling at the top of my game - weightlifter, professional bellydancer - to walking with a cane. I was unable to work for a time and in excruciating pain from hip displacement for several years. This was pivotal. Literally. And it started me ...

Hot Film Director Wants To Show You His 'Box'

... Depp film. “But that’s certainly not who I am.” In person Mr. Kelly comes across like a former fraternity guy, his torn jeans and gelled hair complementing a T-shirt that reveals an obsessive weightlifter. “My dream is to be able to have thought-recognition software that, as I’m exercising, will just write the script,” he said. His Twitter feed (with more than 5,000 followers) has revealed ...

... like gouges in old wood. "Yours?" She laughed, dragging her fingers down his chest. Her hands skipped across the scars, skated along his ribcage. He was the polar opposite of Paul, who had been weightlifter big, all hard muscle and smooth skin. There was a layer of fat over Vic's muscles that made them feel real, like he'd come by them honestly instead of spending every evening pumping iron. Her...

... 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, gathered there to support Tokyo’s bid for the host city of the 2016 Olympics and watch the results of the IOC voting.

fast twitch vs slow twitch ... the Jose Reyes dilemma ...

...that need to be adhered to. If you overwhelm the system by focusing solely on one kind of muscle you will tilt the balance and eventually injure yourself. Think of it this way, say you are a weightlifter and you focus exclusively on your deltoid (shoulder) muscles on a machine of some sort that doesn't work supporting muscles, and say you eventually get to the point where you can lift say a couple...
