    Does Gooey literally have goo, or is it more metaphorical?

    Fox News on an athlete getting Iran's first gold medal: "IT'S IN THE BAGHDAD."

    he has a user interface, and it is graphical.

    He is a touch screen, basically. Go ahead and three-finger swipe him.

    I effing love cables. My chest is the one muscle that I've gotten noticable, consistent growth/ripping in over the past six months. The only drawback is that bench is where you gain the most mass across your chest, hands down. And bench is too technical and far too miserably discourging without a buddy.

    I don't see that but I did see - WTF - America taxes our athletes for their winnings after they bring home the gold. NO! Winners should not be taxed! They have brought glory to the nation.

    The cash prize is income.

    Though I guess I don't care if we make yet another exception to the tax code.

    Uh what? Use less weight. Bench is a pretty good staple exercise.

    The Brits look at this in puzzlement. Our athletes don't get cash for winning medals; some of them get a stamp and the glory of having won.

    (but yes, the US tax thing where you essentially get taxed twice is ridiculous).

    yeah but i understand, it gets kind of tough when you get to near your limit (which is the only way you're going to progress) if you don't have a spotter

    it's hard to really really push yourself

    but

    you can usually just ask someone in the gym

    I can't wait until I can bench again. I hit my max in 10th grade and because of shoulder problems haven't come within a mile of it since

    Bench and squats are the fun

    Taxed twice how?

    I only ask because "But double taxation!" is bandied about as an argument against Estate Tax by people who conveniently ignore that we already have multiple taxes on income, property, sales, etc.

    Lifting the heavy barbell alone or overcoming the crippling social anxiety to ask someone for a spot

    Lots of countries give various awards and privileges for Olympic medals.

    How are they being taxed twice here? I assume this just counts as income and a normal income tax is applied.

    It's the "worldwide" tax thing, and I'm gonna explain this wrong, but even if people get taxed on their income in the country they earn it, they also get taxed in the US. This is how I understand it, anyway.

    (EDIT: of course, this doesn't count for the Olympics people 'cos they're not getting taxed on the money in the UK or anything, but I know there's a feeling that paying tax on earnings when it's from the Olympics is bad. I don't really agree but, meh).

    Yeah, I can see cutting them a break if it's something like, we tax them based on the value of the medal if they were still actually made out of gold or whatever, but if it's out of a cash prize the Olympic committee pays them, whatevs.
