Something Stupid is about me and waiting too long to do something about my computer. And, it was almost disastrous. My hard drive was fragmented and many years old. I should have replaced it. There was only 10,000 files since 1995! I almost had a disaster. Good thing I backed up my files 5 days ago. Norton Ghost is a crappy program by the way for backups. Don't use it.
The good news is no data was lost. But, I waited too long to take care of it and my hard drive went belly up. Mostly due to those stupid automatic updates by Microsoft. I am typing this on my laptop and am waiting for a new computer. This laptop is limited in space and I hate the keyboard. In fact, I hit keys and deleted my whole blog post by accident and had to type it over again! Back up your PC!

Baked Chicken Salad - Recipe Mentioned via My Tweet
chicken breast tenders - clean under water, etc. so they are wet.
Put italian bread crumbs in a bag. Put chicky in bag. Shake well until covered.
Put in backing dish (pam on bottom). Take your favorite cheese and sprinkle lightly on the top.
Bake at about 350 for an hour...monitor it really for doneness really don't take this exact for time.
Let cool.
Take pieces and cut them into cubes to be throwin into your favorite salid fixings.
Raw spinach (in the pre-washed bags) is the most nutritious. Make sure it's fresh or it's icky.
I like black olives and italian peppers (yellow). Cucumbers too in season. Sprouts, etc. if you like em.

The “Nasty Nine” Full Body Workout
by Fred Fornicola
As a rule of thumb, I train my clients with full body workouts and recommend a training frequency of two to three times per week on alternate days. I mainly incorporate compound movements for the hips/legs and torso to stress the major muscle groups and address the arms, lower back, abdominals, hands/forearms, cardiovascular health, etc. on an individual basis. My workouts are structured around joint safety and muscle balance which is orthopedically safe for an individual to handle such movements and plains of motion.

The Closet Thing to Real Powerlifting Today
The IPF World's are taking place this week. They are really the original powerlifting federation when we had ONE. The depth of these squats are what they should be. Check out the video:
Now check out a great example of what I don't think powerlifting is. Just one example of these org's with slack rules and equipment (suits, etc.) that have gone WAY overboard. Judging that allow for 1/2 squats at best. Non-locked out benches, and more. I mean it's not atypical for people competing in these org's to out BENCH what they SQUAT or DEADLIFT! Ridiculous!!

What's Going On In High School Weight Rooms?
Jim Kielbaso MS, CSCS
At this time of year, I get to see what’s going on inside a lot of high school weight rooms, and I’ve got to tell you something – it’s downright scary. The four things I see most often are:
1. Lack of supervision
2. Poor technique
3. Poor effort
4. Incomplete routines
Lack of supervision – The problem here usually is not that there isn’t a coach around. The problem is that the coach simply isn’t doing anything. I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll repeat it again – God bless high school coaches for giving up so much of their time to the kids. It’s inspiring to me to see coaches give so much up to work with young kids. What’s uninspiring is watching a coach sit around, not paying attention to what’s going on, not correcting technique, not motivating kids to give better effort and basically not coaching.
