    dress shoes in korea, low prices

    Which shoes and where in particular have you been shopping? I have not been able to find *nice* dress shoes at a cheap price in Seoul.

    tailors in seoul korea?

    The two tailors in Seoul that have been mentioned in this forum are Hahn's and Satoria Min. Hahn's is actually in Itaewon, and I've gotten a charcoal gray suit from them and I'm quite satisfied with them. They do a good job (for the price at least) but it's important that you tell them what...

    I need help (regarding my gym routine)

    hang on. If you spend 45 min per session, you wont have time to even workout that bodypart. For example if you do quads, 45 min aint enough to do squats, incline leg presses and leg curls. For back, its not enough too. You end up doing more sessions like 7 times a week in the gym which also...

    Bluetooth Headsets

    you can't wear it in public without looking like a pretentious tool. i use mine as a skype headset at home. it's very convenient for home or office use but ask yourself if you really need to use a bluetooth headset while on the move. for those who are looking into purchasing a new car, there...

    Did the tailor rip me off on my suit?

    i'm not saying you didn't lurk but you might need to learn how to use the search function better. the two Seoul tailors that i've seen mentioned in SF are Hahn's (at Itaewon towards Noksapyeong) and Santoria Min (by SF member Alias, located at COEX/Grand Intercontinental Hotel). Hahn's has the...

    Narrow grip bench presses?

    i think we're just going to have to agree to disagree. while i agree that a lot of T-Nation readers belong to a group of people chasing after a certain physique, i find the authors very knowledgeable and cater to a very wide audience. i'm not one of those chasing that certain physique, i'm...

    Narrow grip bench presses?

    Ya, just different thoughts on the purposes of working out. T-nation isn't my kind of thing as I don't do my workouts purely for the aesthetic it produces. Isolations are just kinda to me. it's funny you made the comment about isolations since most of the authors over at t-nation beat you over...

    Narrow grip bench presses?

    Reducing the ROM would be against one of the benefits of using dumbbells....pushing them together would use the exterior stabilizers and not the interior... i did acknowledge the fact that benching while keeping them pressed together would reduce ROM, i never claim it was a perfect exercise...

    Narrow grip bench presses?

    I pretty much only do dumbells, never barbells. The reason is that I go to the gym alone, and don't have a spotter, so dumbells are a lot less dangerous. I'll try your tip about pushing them together. Usually I sift them while twisting (starting with them out the long way, finishing with the...

    Narrow grip bench presses?

    try these two tips to "feel" the inner part of your pecs more while benching. 1) when benching with a barbell, push up and inwards. i.e. as your pushing upwards, try to push your fists together (don't let it slide, just exert a force inwards), like you're trying to bend the barbell into a...

    Article: Most Expensive Scotches

    whiskeys are aged in oak casks, not in glass bottles. i don't see the point of overpaying for something that really doesn't benefit from being kept in a glass bottle for a long long time. for wine, at least the aging improves the wine (to a certain point, after that excessive aging gives you...

    Workout Forums

    i find t-nation very edifying and useful albeit a little advanced for me. they do plug the products they sell on their site a little too egregiously but nonetheless, there's great information there. and i also find that i spend too much time trying to find the "right" workout and not enough...

    Why is "Made in China" bad?

    stereotypes need to be updated to modern times. i'm by no means harping the greatness of Hyundai, but right now it is what it is, a cheap car that really has gotten a lot better in terms of reliability. just check out Consumer Reports and all the other trusted review sites. it is what japanese...

    How healthy is sushi?

    the purple rice is most likely rice with beans done korean style and not mexican style. it's not that white rice is bad for you per se, it's that the other types of rice mixed with different types of grains are significantly better, that's why people are eating them.
