  4. Getting into Shape plus new Kettlebell

    Accessories that might come in handy: Chalk for grip Lifting straps, at the beginning. Don't get too used to them though because it eliminates grip and hand/wrist/forearm strength. Get the mirrors out of your way.
  5. Getting into Shape plus new Kettlebell

    Kettlebells, when I used them, back in the 1970's - were a Russian sensation. We used them as part of our powerlifting regimen. Unlike dumbells, when bench pressing 100 pound kettlebells, they were handed to us, individually. The trick is to balance them straight upwards, not having them lean across the back of the wrists. Leaning them backwards will break your wrist/forearm, once you start using the heavier ones. Might as well just use a dumbell instead. It will do the samething, except keep you injury and pain free. The goal is balance - this builds tendon and ligament strength. Muscle does not make you strong- tendons and ligaments do. Compound exercises, like free weights, provide this, plus neurological advantages. Cable machines don't do this- because it holds and steadies the weights for you. Using Kettlebells with proper form is essential. Swinging them upwards uses momentum. Momentum does little for you. There was a girl in my gym, staring at herself in the mirror wearing short, short orange shorts and swinging a 10 pound kettlebell up, as she was squatting down. It slipped out of her hand and went through the mirror. Try this- lift the bell with it behind your wrist over your head. Now try it by keeping the wrist straight and aiming the bottom of the bell to the ceiling. You will instantly realize their sole function is balance. Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis will be your new buddy if you do not heed my advice. Almost 40 years later and I still use Kettlebells to warmup with before I powerlift. These days I only use the 120 pound dumbells for supine bench press but can only bench press *90 pound Kettlebells EDIT: *85 pound kettlebells these days. Old age and Arthritis catching up to me Check out some older YouTube videos of Russian kettlebell. Their Military uses them a lot. There used to be many videos on it. The American fad of using them the wrong way has become common now, even the pictures on the box shows it the wrong way. I teach women self defense classes in the local community for free. I use Kettlebells because it teaches females to keep their arms straight, so when they punch, they do not bend their wrists and hit.

  10. There was so much I was going to say, but .... just watch this http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2013/12/18/VIDEO-Man-Cited-Attempting-to-Trade-Live-Alligator-for-Beer Officials say a man has been cited for charges related to the illegal capture of an alligator after he attempted to trade said alligator for a 12-pack of beer at a Miami convenience store. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said "I have never experienced anything like this in 25 years in law enforcement." According to Pino, Fernando Caignet Aguilera found the gator at a nearby park, trapped it and brought it to the store where he presented the clerk with his proposal: Gator for beer. The clerk called authorities instead. "This is absolutely bizarre. I can't imagine somebody wanting to barter a live, 4-foot alligator for a 12-pack of beer. It makes no sense to me," Pino said. FWC officers responded to the scene and took the alligator from Aguilera, who was cited for taking possession of and trying to sell the alligator. "It was pretty much in good shape, we didn't notice any unusual conditions on it," Pino said. The alligator was released back into the wild. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1ygAepzZpk

  13. Issuing A Challenge To The Community

    I have done the same. I stopped posting magickal in-depth discussions here for that reason. Albeit there are a couple of individuals here that have the ability to get deeper in magick, most would just troll the threads.

    Did You Know? Chewing Gum is a Native Invention. Spruce resin was used to quench thirst, and also as a medicine. South and Central American Indians collected chicle from the Sapodilla tree to make gum.
  15. Scientists are stretching the boundaries of understanding what happens as the body dies - and learning more about ways to perhaps interrupt the process, which takes longer than we might suppose. Death is the final outcome for 100 percent of patients. But there's growing evidence that revival is possible for at least some patients whose hearts and lungs have stopped working for many minutes, even hours. And brain death - when the brain irreversibly ceases function -- is also proving less open and shut. For decades, doctors have recorded cases where people immersed in very cold water have been revived after hours have gone by. Normally, brain cells start dying within a few minutes after the heart stops pumping oxygen. Many studies have found that hypothermia protects the brain by decreasing its need for oxygen and staving off cell death. Body cooling has become common for many patients after cardiac arrest. However, cooling more a few degrees below normal temperature can also cause cell damage. Cardiologists are still tinkering to find the best approach. Two recent studies presented at the American Heart Association's scientific meeting in Dallas in November tried to see whether early cooling by paramedics after they get a heart restarted is helpful (it didn't seem affect survival or brain damage) or whether cooling to 91.4 degrees Fahrenheit or 96.8 degrees during the first day in the hospital brings better results (again, not much difference). Then there's the issue of how long to perform CPR. One 2012 study found the median duration in hospitals was 20 minutes for patients that didn't survive; 12 minutes for those who did. The AHA recommends bystanders keep performing CPR until emergency medical services arrive. A Japanese study presented at the AHA meeting, based on six years of data on cardiac arrest survival across Japan, concluded it is worthwhile to continue CPR for 38 minutes or longer and still have a chance to avoid major brain damage. Defining brain death is becoming more complex as researchers find signs of activity in both human and animal subjects whose brain waves at first show they've "flat-lined" to the point that there is no brain function. While some doctors use the EEG as a final check for signs of life in the brain, most rely on a series of reflex and respiration tests given over several hours to determine brain death. Scientists at the University of Montreal reported in September on the case of one Romanian patient who was in an extreme deep coma after treatment with a powerful anti-epileptic drug. Although the electroencephalogram (EEG) showed no activity in the man's cortex (the master processor of the brain), there was activity in the hippocampus, the region responsible for memory and learning. The Montreal team, which reported their findings in the journal PLOS One, recreated the same coma state in 26 cats, and observed the same type of oscillations being generated in the hippocampus of each one. Although the clinical determination of brain death in a hospital relies on more than a flat EEG, the Montreal study is one of many that suggest the criteria may need to be changed. And it points to the possibility that greater use of medically-induced deep coma to help brain-injured people recover may be possible. Just how conscious the brain remains after cardiac arrest is frequently debated and researched. Various studies of cardiac arrest survivors shows many experience profound mental or emotional change. About 20 percent of survivors say they heard or saw something while they were clinically dead. During the AHA meeting, Dr. Sam Parnia, head of intensive care at Stony Brook University Hospital in New York, reported early results of a 25-hospital study of how frequently cardiac arrest survivors see or hear things while their hearts are stopped. Of 152 survivors interviewed, 37 percent said they had recollections from the unconscious period. Only two recalled actually seeing events and one described any events that could be verified. None saw images mounted in the treatment room as part of the experiment. Still, there's evidence that dying brains can remain active. In August, researchers at the University of Michigan reported on brain studies of rats dying from induced cardiac arrest and suffocation. They found that within the first 30 seconds after death, all the rats displayed a surge of brain activity. The rodents' brains showed consciousness that exceeded levels normally found in the animals when they're awake. http://www.newsnet5.com/news/science-tech/scientists-looking-closer-at-what-happens-when-body-dies
  16. Holiday Blessings; post your requests here :)

    Learn to use them the proper way they were created to work. Not the American way where you flip them onto the back of your wrist. They are to be balanced straight up, not laying on your wrist. If you progress onwards to the 100's, you will appreciate this advice.

    I agree- It's just surface scratching for beginners.

  21. What's the truth about the pc muscle?

    Hui Yin, the point in that area- important for Yin- in Full Lotus. (the way I do it) Also, pc muscle, when pumped- produces heat.
  22. I speak for myself here, (but most likely for you too, Ms. Magick Bagua) -- sometime in the near future, during ritual, we will transport to some of those places- and meet some of those people. Once the mind sees it, it's only a matter of time
  23. Note: The Bible- Also the Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha, Nag Hammadi scrolls, etc Koran- Howard P Lovecraft- his works Aleister Crowley- Book of the Law Helena P. Blavatsky- her works Scientology Christian Science Mormonism- Joseph Smith New Age Channelers: Ramtha (I don't know any others) We can add other works, infamous or not. Tibetan, Egyptian, Sanskrit, -Afterlife journeys, etc What does it come down to? What individuals are emotionally/spiritually/physically/mentally aligned to, at that current period. Cultural, National, Financial etc., Politics, and/or Agenda, behind the credibility? Who controls History? Those who invest the most. Who "pushes" what becomes popular? The Mainstream Media can either make or break it. First, new material is ignored (especially if it goes against mainstream) Then the author is attacked to lose credibility Once the majority places interest, it is Acceptable. Rinse (literally) & Repeat
  24. All This $earching... For What?
