    I've finished season 3 of American Gods now and him being British took me by surprise. I think he might be better actor then I thought. I remember in Episode 6 (at least I think) that he was doing heist playing a Aussie character and I was like "holy shit mate, that was spot on" and now I know why, but would have never guessed he was British by his American accent.

If Batman can come back from Batman & Robin (and make some of the best films to ever grace the film industry) then Green Lantern can come back from a fairly mediocre Green Lantern film.

    2:59 exercise 2A isn’t a hexbar DL. He’s right when he called it a squat a few seconds before. The positioning of his torso (more vertical) make it more of a knee dominant, and not a hinge movement
    If you photoshop the hexbar out and place a barbell across his backs, it’s the same pattern as a squat. Just because the implement started off on the floor, doesn’t make it a DL

It helps me get those 2 hr workouts in... just got the oculus quest 2 vr headset which makes 2d movies look like theyre on a movie screen and oh man... chest flyes, standing crunch, slightly bent rows, curls, goblet and dumbbell squats, one legged squats.
