Ranger's training thread

[aharmer]

How about that 20 pullup video? I am a naysayer and don't believe you can do them until you post a video.

Where is Byron's video of the 50 jackknives and 25 extension press ups?

20 pull ups is a cinch, no matter what.

But I have to be at weight to do 30.

That's one response. Or you could man up, show the video of the pullups, and tell me to shove my pullups up my ass.

And in response to your previous post...I stand corrected you are not a 6:40 erger. You will never erg that fast again. You are a 7:02 erger until you show us otherwise. Not until you tell us otherwise, until you show us otherwise. Instead of your typical cowardly response, why don't you address the real point of my post.

Already done that with the jackknives and the extension press ups.

But sure, I can add the pull ups, too.

No, in the past, as a 50s lwt, I am 6:28 erger, rowing badly (10 SPI) at max drag (200+ drag factor).

Among 50s lwts, historically, that makes me the third best in the sport, off the pace by three seconds, but better than any 50s lwt can row at the moment.

In the present, as a 60s erger, we won't know what I am until I row a 2K, fully prepared, rowing well (13 SPI) at normal drag (140 df.).

But I will suggest this:

I am now quite a bit better than I was ten years ago.

Based on ranger's character and his past videos, I know exactly how his pullups will look, if he actually posts a video: less than half will see his chin go over the bar, and he will hardly ever, if at all, go to full extension at the bottom.

It will be our first workable theory of poetry.

It has a rhythmics, a linguistics, a rhetoric, and a semiotics (a theory of poetic symbolism).

It interprets poems in terms of mode, genre, texture, and style.

The book delivers on the long-standing claim that poetry is not what happens but the _music_ of what happens.

The theory claims that poetry is built up from temporal modes that enable/underpin/determine analogous paradigms of forms (in rhythm itself, language, rhetoric, and meaning).

These (fractal) temporal paradigms are quadratic, determined by the dialectically related qualities of the four components of rhythm--meter, grouping, prolongational, and theme.

This is wonderful. Glad I stopped by.
Can you explain how is theme a component of rhythm? I don't get that.
How are the paradigms fractal or quadratic?
Perhaps you should extend the theory by looking at complex Ginzburg-Landau theory which has been used many times to gain insight into nonequilibrium phenomena in spatially extended multidimensional systems.
After all fractals are kind of passe these days.

Nope, didn't understand a word of that. Does it mean you and/or Ranger have found the Higgs Boson?

[jliddil]

I wrote about 3/4 of it on my sabbatical in 2005.

"No evidence at all for that"

I'll finish it on my sabbatical next year.

[Nosmo]

No but we just need to get to a little higher energy. After he does a 6:16 as a lightweight, a few years of HGH should get TSO to 6'9" and 280 lbs and a sub 5 2K. That should be enough energy to generate a Higgs Boson, or at least a virtual Higgs Boson

[jliddil]

The poetics has been a _very_ big project.

Seriously. Hey! Poetry Guy! I know mathematics and any useful logic escapes you and those in your profession. But really, 7:02 IS NOT BETTER THAN 6:27!

How many times do we need to tell you?

No wonder it's taken you 40-some odd years to learn about poetry. Simple concepts are difficult to grasp for you.
