Blur, I'd go for the PS3. I heard they reduced the price a lot recently and its a better system, with better games.

I ended up going to Denny's (a crappier version of Ihop, I guess) with a couple friends last night. Had pancakes with syrup and butter, and one other with whipped cream and cherries. I can thank VC and Sasha for describing their food so nicely, that I just couldn't resist.
 
Set a new PR on deadlifts today, 150 kgs 10 reps. It's nowhere near great, but I recon it's pretty good since I've only been deadlifting consitently for a few months (before that it was on and off for about a year, and I rarely increased the weight).

They have reduced the price to $500, but it's not like the games are better, yet. Other Resistance and GOW, a majority of the games are on both systems. You just have to decide whether, you want a better system for a little extra cash, or take your chance on something that is build to fail.

I also believe the online play for the PS3 is free, while the Xbox's isn't.
 
Blur there is a certain problem with a lot of 360s its called the red lights of death....you might wanna google it. But I haven't had a problem with mine yet. And they just recently announced that this problem is gonna cost microsoft 11 million.
 
I wouldn't get a PS3 or XBOX 360 at this point since both consoles are doing fairly poor. Microsoft is losing billions and there is no sign of hope right now. Sony has already lost billions selling the PS3 at only $600. I'm going to buy a Wii in a few months, just because the damn thing is so fun and all the new stuff that was released at E3 put the icing on the cake.

So when will you get the new consoles? I'm thinking about getting a PS3, I don't know.
 
I'll likely never get a XBOX 360 as most of their highly rated games will release on PC eventually and I'm patient enough to wait it out. Plus the console is poorly designed and has too many manufacturing issues. I'll get the Wii first as I mentioned and then the PS3 once it goes down in price again (it recently went down to $500 already) and it also depends on when the developers have a better handle on the technology in front of them. I won't buy the thing now because the games aren't that great yet and I won't pay so much for something that will just sit around and collect dust on my shelves. Once the price goes down even more that's when the great games will be coming out by the dozen. That's when I'll be picking it up.

Just trying to get this straight -

150 kg = 330.6 lbs?

You're a beast! I was even on the weightlifting team in high school, and well, I don't want to admit my max on the deadlift if you think 330 lbs. is "nowhere near great," lol. I didn't do a lot of deadlifting though, because it made me paranoid that I'd slip up and hurt my back.

Are you entering any competitions over there in Sweden? You'd be competitive over here in the states on the high school circuit.

And did you ever choose which school you're going to in the States? I'm sure one of those Cali schools you were looking at has a weighlifting program you can get involved with.

On a side note, I've got the whole place to myself this weekend. Everyone is out of town, and I'm throwing a party either tonight or tomorrow.

There have been many douchebags on the Internet, but this one is officially the worst I have ever seen since those Star Wars freaks and those idiots that role play World of Warcraft.

I give you, Mega Man ..

Well, I'll be looking for colleges/universities abroad for the fall next year, and I'll definatly be checking California, Florida and also Australia more than any other place (I like it hot and english-speaking).

As for competitions, it's not even in my mind. There isn't many powerlifters in my gym, but from what I have seen in other gyms I've been to, my lifts pale in comparison to others (on the other hand, they were all older than me).

Actually, as I was deadlifting today, an older guy walked up to me and suggested that I might try to compete just for fun. He told me he was 60+ of age, competing in the 67.5 class, and placed second in his last contest, deadlifting (iirc) 230 kgs, squatting 190, and benching 120 or something. What a beast. And he wasn't that big either.

You should check out Tulane or another Southern Ivy if you want a school where it's hot. It's plenty hot down here.

Yeah, for your age you'd be competitive. Weightlifting is a sport where age is really important, so you shouldn't be scared off by seeing guys a lot older than you lifting a lot more.

That old man sounds like a freak, but his numbers are awkward. 120 lbs. = 264.6 lbs., yet he deadlifted 230 kgs., which is 507.1 lbs? That just seems out of proportion. I max out at around 350 benching in a single-rep, but around 300 single-rep deadlifting (don't know the exact # I'm at now... haven't deadlifted in a long time). I guess it's just more of an American thing to focus on benching growing up.
 
I had that Apple Jacks cereal for the first time in over a decade a few days ago. Strange I always forgot about it and then suddenly got the urge to pick up a box.
 
My PB for deadlifts is 90kg, thats 198.4lbs, which I think is alright, considering I only weigh 154lbs.

As for the PS3 debate, I'm kinda pissed off, because I bought mine for $999 (AUD) and now apparentley they're discontiuing the 60GB model, and are jacking it up to 80GB per console, and thats at the same cost too. Oh well, its not like I use my PS3 to store stuff on anyway, hahaha.
 
That's still BS and that's yet another reason why I'm not buying the damn thing for a few years. I still haven't seen a great game for it either. The facial models for the NBA games look like crap and there are so many bugs.
 
Oh well, at least I'm the cool kid on the block, LOL
 
Wow, I hadn't run track for a while but I did so today (well, not really track, I was just running the soccer fields to get my endurance up) after a long hiatus and man, it felt good. The thing I've noticed though is I don't get easily tired on the track, even when I'm running at moderate-fast speeds. However, I was playing basketball last week on my driveway against my brother in one-on-one and I couldn't last for a long time and got tired really fast. That's probably because I was sprinting a lot since I tend to over-dribble when I'm facing him, but nevertheless.

Anyway, I plan to run every 2-3 days now. I miss playing soccer, and I miss having good endurance, which I'm now completely lacking. This will hinder from my excercise/weight gain plan, but I hate not having good endurance so I'll just compensate by eating a little more than I have been recently. I've been working out for the past 2 weeks or so and eating more/better, and I've managed to gain about 5 pounds so far, so I think I'm on the right track.

Here's hoping I don't lose this determination once September rolls around.
 
Do treadmills help your speed and endurance? I know it doesn't have as much effect as regular running does, but it does help, right?

I'm not sure, I've never been a fan of treadmills. I'd rather run the track.

Actually I used to do a little bit of both before I let myself get lazy again.

But yeah, cardio in general really does help.


I need to start doing boxing workouts again..that ish will wear you out man..but it made me lose some weight and I know some boxin' skills too.

I used to run track too, but I quit the track team so I didn't really see the point, considering we have a treadmill at my house. Anyways, I always work up a better sweat on the treadmill, and it just seems like a better exercise to me
