    Ocean found 400 miles below earth's surface.

    LOL! hahaha! I know, crazy idea and "thinking outside of the box". But, I actually majored in math and minored in physics in college. Water pressure is a potential energy source that's "just there" waiting for us to harness. And, there is a Norwegian company, that I just found, who is working...

    Ocean found 400 miles below earth's surface.

    With our endless pursuit to find more re-newable clean alternative energy I wonder if we're actually looking at water pressure as a viable source. Water pressure is a force that can be converted into energy. At 5 miles deep in the ocean, it's roughly 11,300 (PSI) pounds per square inch. That's a...

    The official gym & weightlifting thread! rep #3

    Yeah, the scarey part was when it went from 110 bpm to 140 bpm while standing still on a treadmill. Truth is my heart rate was still climbing by the time I reached the front counter. It could have peaked to 160 bpm. I'm glad I sat down and started taking in deep breathes to get oxygen to my...

    The official gym & weightlifting thread! rep #3

    A scarey thing happened to me today at the gym where I workout at. After doing a couple of sets of leg presses I went on a treadmill just to checked my heart rate and it went from 110 bpm to 140 bpm in less than 20 seconds. The treadmill wasn't even mving. So, I felt a little dizzy and made my...

    Techniques to strengthen weak vocals

    ^^ +1 offsetting it about +/- 0.05 to 1 millisecond will give it a fatter vocal sound. Then, use a third track with filters.

    Markbass Big Bang problem

    Thanks, I was thinking is was "normal" for this unit. I'll probably get a Genz Benz or GK or Carvin for my next amp.

    Greetings fellow MB users, I have a question for those of you using the Big Bang. When you use the headphones are the main outs to the speakers suppose to disconnect? When I first got mine, the speakers disconnect as soon as you connect a headphone. After it was sent in to VST services for...

    Markbass Big Bang problem

    Well, another weird thing is happening. When I insert a headphone into the headphone jack it does not disconnect the main out to the speakers. Is this suppose to happen? Anyone?

    The official gym & weightlifting thread! rep #3

    Nice! But is the 460 lbs (209 kg) from the weights alone or weights and bar together? I'm 5'10" and 157 lbs and so far I'm squatting (10 reps x 2 sets) with 2x45 lb disc and a 45 lb bar total 135 lbs. I can do 2 sets of 10 with 270 lbs on a leg press machine. I've only been training for a...

    Che, I'm very new to weight training. When you say "460x1 squat" is that 460 from the bar AND weights or just the weights? That's incredible dude!
