  1. I used to crush myself with legs. Got sore the next day, but had that "No pain, no gain" mentality. Got ripped but couldn't put on mass. Then I read "The 4-Hour Body" by Tim Ferris.

    Now when I train legs I do 1 set with moderate weight slowly with a 5 second down count and a 5 second up count. I go until i fail. (Make sure you are doing a safe exercise or have a spotter if you are going to failure)

    The theory is that, this is all your muscles need to stimulate growth. If you do too much you are actually hurting yourself.

  2. Yeah it's amazing the way things work here sometimes. I hear that sometimes the ambulances will bring people to the hospital that pays more money, and not necessarily the closest one or good one. A thai friend of mine got into a motorcycle accident, and there was a hospital accross the street. They brought him to hospital farther away that's known for having crappy doctors, however the hospital pays one of the highest ambulance commissions.

  3. 948,000 visited and 150 died. (From Post #6)

    That’s one in every 6,302 visitors.

    If life expectancy in Aus is 80 years, you’d expect 1 in every 80 to die in a given year. (not exactly correct, but work with me here)

    Even if the average tourist spends just a week in Thailand, there’s a 1 in 4160 chance they’d have died if they'd just stayed in in Aus. (80 x 52 = 4160)

    Seems like the numbers say it’s a lot safer to travel to Thailand than stay home…

    Of course that’s not true.

    But this article gave just enough information to draw readers, and perhaps give some of the readers a smug feeling that they were right all along, but not nearly enough information to draw any valid conclusions…

    I love this math! you should be chief statistician for a political candidate
