Likewise, it is impossible to fully understand TS Eliot's poems without considering the Christian aspect. edit: I confused Christian with "allegory to World War 1". So he does admit his work to have Christian influences, as expected This description of Sauron's motivations is exactly the same as Satan's motivations in Milton, Paradise Lost.

But my type of movies is more those with soldiers whose asses get kicked by a beast and then kick the beast's ass back.

Cult Icon Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 @Enrico_sw I tried the exercise you suggested. It's a good back exercise and I think I will do it from now on. Do you know of any other dumbbell exercises for back? The only issue I have with this exercise is that it hits the shoulders a bit too much. I already do a full shoulders workout (so many exercises hit shoulders after all). So my shoulders give in before my back does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my shoulders give in before my back does. The rear delts are always recruited on these movements, but it's not the same part of the shoulder that you do with push-ups (front delt) or side raises (medial delt). The rear delts often neglected, but they help protect/balance the shoulder. If you feel your rear delt, it means it's strengthening. You can do reverse dumbbell flies (with lower weights) if you want to strengthen the rear delt more directly. If you want another dumbbell back exercice, you have the pullover, it does mostly the back (the lats), but also the chest (to a lesser extent).

Usually, working your pulling muscles (back), whatever the exercice (dumbbell rows, pullover, etc. or even pull-ups if you have a bar), will improve your posture. In addition, weak rotator cuff muscles are often times detrimental to the posture. Working them can be very beneficial. Like this for example (you only need very light weights, cause they're small muscles): https://builtwithscience.com/fitness-tips/rotator-cuff-exercises/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 BZ's threads illustrate perfectly what we see every day in male/female dating market: - the female threads are hyper active (posts on the first page all date from today) - there is some sort of female hierarchy, but not very steep. The curve has a very small slope (there are 9 threads with 1000+ pages and about 150 with 100+. Then, there are lots and lots of threads with tens of pages) - the male actor threads are pretty inactive... (some threads' last updates date back from April) - ... except for one guy. The male hierarchy is extremely steep. One guy gets it all (Leo's thread has 1000+ pages. He's the only one. There are no other actors with 1000+ and none of them even has 100+. They silver and bronze medals are very low. It's one king and the plebs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what many dating sociologists say, though there are actually lots of feedback loops that mitigate these raw impulses (and can completely change the picture). What's funny is that the more we talk about "gender stereotypes", the more these stereotypes are reinforced wildly, while more conservative environments actually tended to mitigate these dating stereotypes. (BTW, this is non-judgemental, it's just trying to make sense of observable data and many social scientists in this field formulated these observations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
