| Critique my exercise regimen |
Monday: Jogging 5km Deadlift 1 RM Tuesday Deadlift 1 RM Thursday Bent-Over Rows 1 set to failure Bench Press 1 set to failure Friday Deadlift 1 RM Saturday Deadlift 1 RM Sunday Deadlift 1 RM I find that doing deads all out for 1 rep helps my arthritic fingers (I hold on to the heavy barbell for 15-20 seconds). |

I'd rather start with your grammar. "Critique" ain't a verb. As for your exercise regimen, one wonders why you'd look to wreck.running for feedback. Unless, that is, your secret Wednesday workout includes a forty mile run. If it does, I suspect you'll benefit more by replacing it with a few hours of vocabulary and conjugation. |

Aw c'mon - are you really prepared to open the floodgates to vulgar and misguided new usage begun as recently as the eighteenth century? Alright already, I'll amend my formulation. "Critique" is a fine noun but a *very silly* verb. |

"Critique" ain't a verb. Really? You should write to the Oxford English Dictionary and let them know. At the moment, they say: critique, v. trans. a. To write a critique upon; to review, criticize. (In quot. 1751 prob. stressed {sm}critique: cf. CRITIC v.) 1751 Hist. Pompey the Little p. vii, The worst ribaldry of Aristophanes shall be critiqued and commented on. 1815 W. H. IRELAND Scribbleomania 2 Some writers there are who..all subjects critique. 1831 Fraser's Mag. IV. 3 Hogg's tales are critiqued by himself in Blackwood. b. More generally, to judge critically, to make a critical assessment of or comment on (an action, person, etc.), not necessarily in writing. Chiefly U.S. 1969 New Yorker 19 Apr. 81/1 A football coach critiquing a fumble on a film of a game. 1972 Jrnl. Social Psychol. LXXXVII. 160 If we, as scientists, critique society, does our ethical commitment stop there? 1973 N.Y. Times 21 Jan. IV. 4/1, I would not try to critique what Governor Rockefeller said to his legislature. 1975 New Yorker 24 Mar. 32/3 You can watch..a videotape of your own tennis game..to critique your serve. 1978 Detroit Free Press 2 Apr. E6/1 Clark is not about to critique the Lions publicly. 1986 Washington Post 20 Mar. D5/4 The home economics supervisor who is overseeing and critiquing the progress of Dynamics for District Public Schools, has commented [etc.]. To think, dudes as far back as 1751 using it wrong! Oh, the humanity! Idiot. > I suspect you'll benefit more by replacing it with a few hours of > vocabulary and conjugation. Hell, forget the vocabulary, but a few hours of conjugation certainly sounds like a fun workout! tom -- catch my hand and come with me - close your eyes and dream |

Pendejo: >> "Critique" ain't a verb. Tom Anderson: > Really? You should write to the Oxford English Dictionary and let > them know. No need; they've had one of their top grammar dicks tailing me for years. Watch for the verb form of "critique" to be deprecated as "very silly" in the next edition of the OED. Also, watch for the common American usage to exhibit even greater confusion in coming years, with a new form emerging as a "best of both worlds" compromise. Double your money back if "critiqueicize" is not in heavy rotation by 2012. > a few hours of conjugation certainly sounds like a fun workout! Just be careful to switch up your root verbs and tenses from time to time - you don't want to incur RSI. |

No. You have cross-posted - two weightlifting groups and one running group. You have said nothing about what your goals are nor anything about yourself other than arthritic fingers. We need age, sex, body composition, injury history, current exercise restrictions, current performance (e.g., 5k times, deadlift weights), and then you need to tell us what, if anything, you would like 'regimen' to do differently for you. As given, I agree with Tom's evaluation. Your program looks good to worsen your arthritis, hurt your back, ruin your shoulders, and do nothing for your running - other than that, it's great. :) -S- http://www.kbnj.com |

I can't for the life of me remember what it is, just that i was rather surprised at what they'd written. > Also, watch for the common American usage to exhibit even greater > confusion in coming years, with a new form emerging as a "best of both > worlds" compromise.

Critiquing your regimen is difficult. Can't we critique your personality, fashion sense, and goofy haircut instead? |
