Bench trial

Jail overcrowding poses a problem for American society. Non-violent criminals, such as child support offenders and traffic violators who cannot get a speedy court date live for free in our jails while the tax payers support them. Others believe that these criminals belong in jail despite overcrowding. Although Glenn E. Martin, Marc A. Levin, Nicholas Turner, Julia M. Stasch, Malcolm M. Feeley and Kent Scheidegger differ on their opinions of overcrowded jails, they each share concerns about the…

I went to Enid, Oklahoma Municipal Court, which was held on September 23rd at 2 p.m. The judge that was over the court room was James Long that featured hearings for adult misdemeanors and traffic court. In addition, I have attended Stillwater’s court and have experienced Mrs. Raun in August. The comparison is to me the attitudes on how handling the people. I have only been in court once because of running a red light and the other times I have went has been for this class and another class…

They should get at least three days…

anticipating potential problems proactively is the most important step for combatting them. Even today, while I am resting between sets, I oftentimes find myself visualizing lifting the weights in preparation for actually lifting the weights. When doing bench presses, I now imagine myself lifting the bar off the rack, feeling the weight pressing down on my arms and shoulders, and the sensation of feeling the bar touch my chest as I squeeze every muscle fiber to lift the weight back up. I imagine…

The drop-set training system is a technique in which the participant performs a resistance training exercise to muscle failure, reduces the weight, and then continues with the exercise for an additional number of repetitions. Within one set, the participant “drops” weight several times (Clark, 2014). This method of training is considered an advanced technique done by many experienced bodybuilders (Id). The extent of weight drop does not appear to be agreed upon. The Clark text (Id) mentions…

Deadlift Benefits Deadlifts have the potential to cause serious back injuries, but a deadlift is also used to treat patients with lower back injuries (Berglund et al, 2015). Patients that participate in rehabilitative exercise using the deadlift, tested with a higher performance on the Biering-Sorensen test (Berglund et al, 2015). The Biering-Sorensen test evaluates the hip and back extensor muscles aerobic capacity. This rehabilitative exercise also helps to improve a reduction in the pain…

Well in the culture of powerlifting, there is a such ingredient that is used far and wide by all powerlifters that want to hit those high numbers during training or competitions, it is called powerlifter’s chalk.

Hands shoulder-width apart. Back arched. Eyes level with the bar. Shoulder blades touching. The weight plummets as I struggle to manage the load. Just as the bar hovers over my chest, muscles fire like a well-rehearsed symphony across my upper body, providing the force necessary to wrestle with gravity. The tides turn as the weight retires back to its stand while I let out an unearthly grunt fueled by adrenaline and euphoria. As I collapse on the ground, gasping and heaving, my lungs take in the…
