Totally forgot to look there. Told me exactly what I wanted to know…
Thanks G!
yup, can't remember where it was, but do not throw them into the washer…
There's definitely now a hand wash in the devil ducks near future…

^ Earlier this year I ran through a super-simple kettlebell program my jiu jitsu instructor told me about. I've done lots of different types of training and programs over the years and I've never seen such an abrupt change in the shape of my body. Chest/shoulders broadening and muscle going on to my upper arms in a very short space of time.
Just be careful to get your technique right before really pushing yourself.

Haa, yeah. I meant to but kinda got distracted and just hit "submit". Sorry.
Basically, the whole program is just based on doing 60 snatches (per arm) 3-4 times a week. Like so:
Week 1: 6 x 10
Week 2: 4 x 15
Week 3: 3 x 20
Week 4: 2 x 30
Week 5: 1 x 45 and 1 x 15
Week 6: 1 x 60Sets are done on alternating arms with no rest. That is, in week 1 you do 10 right then straight into 10 left and so on until you finish 60.
That's it. Super simple, super effective.

Hey guys, just wondering…is it true that unsanforized denim actually gets heavier when you do the initial soak? I've read, for instance, the 18oz denim on the 666S becomes 21oz when it gets soaked. Is that true? If so...how exactly does that happen? Any scientific reason, or is it just how it is?
-
Fibres contract, causing the denim to shrink, become more dense, and therefore weigh more.

As Mega said, but as the shrinkage is only about 3% then 18*103% = 18.54 not 21

That doesn't mean your jeans will go from weighing, say, 1.3 kilos to weighing, say, 1.6 kilos. The weight is based on a square yard of fabric, so when the denim contracts after soaking, it becomes more dense and weighs more than a square yard of the same fabric prior to soaking.
Your jeans are already cut and finished, so they don't get any heavier, just smaller and slightly thicker.

So my friends daughter, age 21, got into London Metropolitan university.
She'll need a affordable place to live near University. Ofcourse they are checking campus facilities etc. but I promised to ask advice-guidance-help also.
If anybody has any info shoot me a pm and I'll forward it to my friend.

My GT's were anything but comfortable. I'd get some Alden Indy's, most versatile boot I own.
