Sounds rough. I'm heading back the gym by next week, after a long (too long break) so I'll probably be feelin some of what ur feeling real soon

well, last time I was in the gym was last march so... 10 months or so.

And that's a guess, I don't know, it could have been longer.

Im back!

Only one class left today, and that's a recitation.

Meaning that I'll show up, take a quiz, and leave.

And after that, I'll be off to the rec center to work out. I'm a fanatic when it comes to lifting.

I used to be but when I changed jobs it was hard cause the gym before was right on top of my job (I used to work in a health food store), now its on the other side of the island. When I went to school I could use the gym there too, but I work full time for this semester. Now all I do is head to work and go home so I found a gym close to my house and will start there when I get paid. Gotta work back to my goal (a Nightwing/Spider-Man physique)

We could be:

So this is what goes on while I am sleeping! 😠
Mutiny 😠

You ungrateful bastards! After all the Illuminati's done for you. 😛

Hey I heard allot of you talking about working out. As soon as I get a few more bills tucked away I am gettin a years membership to this new 24hour gym in town. Any advice oh how I should start or what kinda workouts I need? I have like never worked out in my life and just always been skinny even thou I eat more than most anyone I know and I want to gain alittle weight and mainly just get in shape from the waste up. I am also aiming for a Nightwing/Spiderman style type. Like Tobey looked in the first Spiderman when he was checking himself out.

Yes pressure point attack's don't work that way. There really only one spot were a person cna be KO with a single strike and it well guarded by any one who know's how to fight.

Also msot knocked out pressure point attacks are many different point's that ahve to be done in a certain sequence and time frame

I know of at least two.

really ware? You may be thinking about a pressure point sequence.

" The baroreceptor in the carotid artery is pressure-sensitive, allowing the body to control the bloodflow into the brain. Pressure against this region will 'trick' the body into thinking that blood pressure is too high, and thus will constrict and lower blood pressure - which can cause blackout. Striking veins and arteries can also cause them to shut or tear, both of which will definitely cause black-out and possible death if not treated immediately"

" Brain shake: The brain is actually a very vulnerable organ, which is why it is encased in the skull. The brain floats in fluid and balances on a very flexible spine. Certain techniques can actually shake the brain in a way which causes black out. The most commonly taught technique involves a strike just below the occipital ridge, at the correct angle in the correct direction. Other areas that are succeptable to such techniques are the temples and the top of the skull."

And those are only for immediate blackout. There is of course, one's to hyper-extend or relax tendonds (alowing susceptibility to breaking) and such.

Notice it's not just single specific areas. It mentions striking certain arteries and such also can cause susceptibility to blackouts and knockouts.

Did anybody realize that the Wikipedia logo (the sphere made of puzzle pieces) is actually composed of the exact same puzzle piece? It's the same mold exactly for all of them, and just turned.

ya wiki a pritty crappy source of information.

Aagain that did not even prove your point. Like I said it not one area. In order to do what is said you need to hit many different point's. You should try talking to martial artist instead of using a crappy source that's wrong constantly.

I study martial art's styles and through what I have learned there is only one area that can allow a person to be KOed in a single point strike.

Every other attack that does this is many different attack's. ask Jadelightning if you wish he take martial art's that speacilize in pressure point fighting.

your second quote is correct.
