facts.
up the intensity—tilt the bench, grab heavier weights
doing 60 reps is pointless. that's just cardio.
3-4 sets is plenty
just so we're clear—doing crunches isn't going to melt the fat off your stomach if that's what you're after.

Matthew Morris28 said:I'm dead serious about the training part—basketball players deal with astigmatism all the time. It's basically just uneven light refraction because the eyeball doesn't develop perfectly. Intense physical strain and heavy lifting are proven to worsen eye deformation, which shifts your prescription. And yeah, extreme pressure changes can cause blindness, but that’s a whole different ballgame.

where'd you get that from?
you ask a question then just answer it yourself??

here's how I read it:
...for people with myopia, it's not that their vision gets worse just from working out—if that were true, every athlete with nearsightedness would have gone blind ages ago. The real issue is retinal detachment, which can actually lead to blindness.
basically, if your myopia is over 5.0, you shouldn't go overboard
with the training—especially sports involving sudden directional changes or abrupt stops, like jumping (into pools, skydiving, bungee jumping), or motorsports, etc.
it also means avoiding improper weightlifting (though "improper" is
pretty subjective, let's be real)...

Wait, you aren't actually talking about that garbage starring Richard Gere, are you?
Whatever, I guess people's tastes are subjective... 🙄

Last few things I watched that were actually worth recommending:
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,
Count of Monte Cristo,
Curse of Jade Scorpion.

so what's your move then?

So, that Johnson's baby stuff would probably do the trick, right?
I've got this pomade with castor oil and Vitamin E from Anners—should be decent enough, I guess.

So, can hair gel and all that other junk actually trigger or speed up hair loss?

Susan Miller3 said:Air Bud. Honestly, I'd go with that. Hey, stormyowl6, do yourself a favor and borrow this weird little experiment called Master of Disguise. It totally changed my perspective on things—life-altering stuff, really.

Master of Disguise, huh? Sounds intriguing... I might have to track that down...
🙂

🙄
I’m putting this one right up there with
like Air Bud—except honestly, Air Bud is probably better. It’s got those New Age vibes, the plot is full of twists, and the whole thing just lifts your spirit—plus, I'm pretty sure it improves your digestion and respiratory system.
Ryan Ruiz, just go watch Air Bud. It'll have you thinking for months.

...the whole movie just gave me major Camus and Meursault vibes...

Yeah, I was thinking about Camus too while watching this...

One of the most intense moments is when he hires that new barber guy—the one who won't shut up. He closes up the shop, the kid is rambling on about some chicken, and Thornton just goes: "For all I know, he talked to himself on the way home." 🙂

Then, when he's heading back, everyone is moving in the opposite direction, Moonlight Sonata is playing, he's got a bad taste in his mouth... "It was like I was a ghost walking down the street..."
