oh my GOD

I don't pay for CPU priority and I've never wished I had it, but I'm sure the moment I need it I'll be a very sad server owner

Really, really strong maincaller.

I use it regularly and would probably die if it disappeared

it's an important point, though. companies don't go under because their employees break laws. If the right steps are taken (lpkane stepping down would be a good one), this can and should salvage esea's reputation to some degree.

Maybe it's just me, but this does not change my intentions of playing in ESEA S14 one bit. It's disappointing, but not deal-breaking for me.

bump, can always use more tryouts ;)

We are also looking for some roamer tryouts.

Lent my server for a couple of informal pugs and had a great time hanging out with some new faces.

There's no limit on subforums. If you don't like it or get use out of it, don't go there. It's that simple.

what the fuck is wrong with you

where has my life gone wrong that i share any link to this person

i need to re-evaluate my choices

probably not until the day before the season starts so every open team can sweat out the fact that team xalox is registered in open still

having played with/against all of these guys in scrims i can testify that they're going to be an excellent team. radium knows a lot about this game and will not make many of the errors that normal open pockets do. swedes is a damage machine.

I'm especially excited to see the flank on this team. frkn is a nasty-good roamer, crossfire has carried hard in a couple of scrims I've played against them, and thoof is extremely capable as well.

This is absolutely the team that I would want to play medic for if I wasn't running my own.

really, really good stuff. good music, good frags, interesting editing.

top-tier comms, top-tier gamesense. Absolute rock on the flank. Deserves a pickup.

I had a roommate do GOMAD and I couldn't understand how he downed that much milk every day. He put on about 15 lbs and looked great though, so it definitely works.

Starting Strength or Stronglifts are the way to go for any first timer. You could maybe sub some dumbbell exercises in there if she wants to feel girly about it. You can't really get a good sub for a deadlift with dumbbells but the rest of the exercises can all be subbed pretty well. Once you've got a good foundation (I started at .75/1.25/2x bodyweight on my big 3) you could try madcow or perhaps 20 rep squats. I don't have experience with madcow but 20 rep squats kicked my ass. When I decided to stop I was squatting 515 though. It definitely works.

As for cardio, there's definitely a place for it. I was strong but I was destroyed after 20 minutes of basketball until I started biking daily. There's nothing wrong with improving cardiovascular health, and it's still a method of weight loss. It's just not as efficient as lifting. If your GF doesn't want to get into lifting (I've met plenty of women who don't) then at least convince her to set some real goals with her biking/running. She shouldn't be sitting there reading a magazine and pedalling at a leisurely pace. Get her to do some bodyweight exercises too while at the gym. Bodyweight squats, pushups, situps, and pullups are all valuable, especially when you don't have much of a base of fitness in the first place.
