- Today's short writing practice with a keyword "ghost"I don't believe in ghosts and I'm not really interested in this topic, so I didn't know what to write. But then I remembered that I was fascinated by The Canterville Ghost when I was a teenager. I saw this play at the local theater and read the book a few times and I liked it very much!0 votedApril 28, 20201
- Why powerlifting?Until 35 I've never workout in gym.In my teenage years I use to swim, play hockey, and run . But after school I stopped exercisingOnce, my friend gave me a workout with him as a birthday gift. He used to work as a personal trainer that time.So it was a first time I went to a gym and I liked it. He had a chiseled body and I was hoping to be like him.I've started training in the gym. My weight was 152 pounds.In a few months I came across a book about core exercises as a base for any strength training. So I switched to deadlift, squat and bench press. The reason for doing only the core exercises is focus. There are no other exercises that can load your body so hard <s>and cause hormonal burst.</s>Later I had an issue with my chronic vein disease and went to a hospital for surgery. I assumed that I couldn't lift much (but I was wrong) and was thinking about switching to crossfit.Thus, I learned that crossfit has some Olympic weightlifting exercises. So I've asked a guy from our church to help me. He was a former champion of the world. I'm not sure what you mean... He brought me for a workout to a special gym.

It is a reference to the Hound of the Baskervilles book.
"‘The dog one’ that Sherlock mentions obviously refers to the most famous Holmes story, <em style="border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(74, 74, 74);">The Hound of the Baskervilles </em>(previously updated for <em style="border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(74, 74, 74);">Sherlock </em>as <a href="https://sherlockshome.net/2015/04/18/5-best-quotes-from-the-hounds-of-baskerville/" target="_blank" style="border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(25, 130, 209); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">‘The Hounds of Baskerville’</a>). In the original story, Holmes is absent for a huge chunk of the action – as he is secretly investigating the case to not arouse the suspicions of the culprit."
