Top 5 Gadgets That Will Make Travelling In India A Piece Of Cake For Everyone
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Travelling is often a stressful process for many of us. In a country like India, travelling is even more uncomfortable thanks to the hot weather and poor infrastructure. While air travel is a lot easier, conventional modes of travelling like trains and buses are problematic on another level. Keeping that in mind, we've made a list of must-have gadgets that will definitely make travelling a breeze for you. 1. Bose Soundsport Free: © MensXP Music is a bare necessity for most of us, and having a good pair of earphones amplifies the same. The Bose Soundsport Free may be the answer to a true wireless earbud that delivers a supreme experience. The earbuds are designed to compete with Apple's AirPods and we feel, the company has surpassed the competition is almost every way. The sound is perfectly balanced in terms of highs, mids, and lows to give a complete experience. The wireless earbuds can last up to 5 hours on a single charge and can be extended with the carry case by an additional 10 hours. Buy Here 2. Mi Power Bank 2i: © Xiaomi This huge battery pack costs just Rs.1499 and comes with a very neat design built using strong ABS + PC synthetic material. You can charge two devices simultaneously with a total output of 5.1V / 3.6A and when using a single port, it supports Quick Charge 3.0. Xiaomi claims it has up to an 85% conversion rate and an actual charging capacity of 13,000 mAh. You can also charge your wearables (which require a much lower output than phones) by double pressing the power button. Buy Here 3. SeCro Universal Travel Adapter: © SeCro When travelling international, it is always a good idea to carry along a universal charger. Even while having connecting flights, I've come across many airports that do not have a universal outlet, in times like this, a backup option is always appreciated. The SeCro Universal Travel Adapter has two USB Ports, each of 1A and maximum 6A rating. The adapter works in more than 150 countries and weighs just 200 grams. Buy Here 4. Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II Noise Cancelling Headphones: © MensXP When flying internationally over long distances, the constant vibrations and engine sound can be really annoying for a lot of people. To get a good sleep, noise-canceling headphones are never a bad idea. Our editor has used these on multiple flights, and here's what he has to say, "If you are looking for wireless headphones that also have impressive noise-canceling capabilities, Bose QuietComfort 35 II is your best bet. The additional feature of Google Assistant is cool and can make your life easier if you don't like to whip out your phone for every notification." Buy Here 5. Kindle Paperweight 6-inch: © Amazon Reading is one of the most constructive hobbies one can have and the same can be easily done when on the move. Physical books have a different aura to them, but when travelling, weight is always a major constraint. A Kindle e-book reader not only can carry around hundreds of books, its battery life lasts days and days to come. Another benefit is the e-ink display that has a backlight but does not feel artificial like a normal LCD display. Hence you don't even have to worry about straining your eyes over long periods.

8 Of The Most Expensive Things In The World None Of Us Will Be Able To Afford
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Who doesn't like owning expensive things? The only problem with having expensive tastes is not having enough money to satiate them. Still, there's no harm in looking, is there? At least here there isn't. You'll need more than a few billion dollars if you want to own all of the things on this list. Some of the things you might not even be able to own. Black Diamond iPhone 5 ($15.3 milion) iPhones sure do cost a lot. But, in front of this black diamond iPhone 5, even the iPhone X is cheap. Made by Stuart Hughes, this iPhone is embedded with a black diamond. It took 9 weeks to manufacture and is one-of-a-kind. © Stuart Hughes It goes without saying that this was a special made-to-order iPhone and there are various others out there too. But, none of them cost $15.3 million. 1963 Ferrari GTO ($52 million) Moving on from overpriced phones to overpriced cars. Cars are supposed to lose value with time. But, after a certain point, it seems like cars start accumulating antique value which makes them more expensive. © YouTube That's precisely the case with this 1963 Ferrari GTO. It's more than 65 years old, has no modifications or upgrades and is worth $52 million. But, there's something in me that knew, if there was going to be a car on this list, it was going to be a red Ferrari. The Card Players ($275 million) Perhaps the most boring thing on this list, 'The Card Players,' is a collection of paintings by Paul Cezanne. We've all seen the painting of dogs playing poker. They are far more popular. But, their value is nowhere near that of this collection. © Wikimedia Commons In fact, dogs playing poker was inspired by this collection. One of the paintings was even robbed on one occasion. Not much is known about the painting that was sold for this record sum apart from the fact that it was sold to Qatari royals. Antilla ($1 billion) Mukesh Ambani's home was obviously going to make it onto this list. Valued at an approximate $1 billion living here would give you the best view of the Mumbai skyline ever. Although, I can't confirm this since I've never really been here. © Twitter One thing's for sure, when the richest Indian man builds a 4,532 sq. m. house in the middle of a crowded city like Mumbai, the only way to find the space is by building up. Kipnis' Outer Limits Theater ($6 million) Not everyone is an audiophile but if you were one, this would be the 1963 Ferrari GTO of your dreams. The home theatre was created by Jeremy Kipnis and uses 16 18-inch subwoofers. Some might call it overkill, but I call it heaven. © Jeremy Kipnis The biggest problem I can see about installing this system in India though is, the neighbours. They will have $6 million reasons to complain. Stuart Hughes' PrestigeHD Supreme Rose Edition ($2.3 million) You'd think there is only so much a TV can do for you. I mean, it's not like you could make the characters jump out of the screen. Well, the PrestigeHD can't do that. So, what justifies the enormous price tag? © Stuart Hughes The base and outer frame of the TV are done in 28 kg of 18 carat rose gold and have 72 diamonds encrusted in them. The remaining area is set using Amethyst and Sunstone. The inner bezel is made with hand stitched alligator skin. This will ensure you'll be staring at the TV even when it isn't turned on. The History Supreme Yacht ($4.5 billion) The third time Stuart Hughes is making it onto this list. The man really does know how to make something expensive. What happened here is a Malaysian businessman commissioned Hughes to turn his yacht to gold using 100,000 kgs of gold and platinum. © Twitter Another striking feature of the yacht is that it has some bone shaving from the Tyrannosaurus Rex. How many people can say they sleep in a room where the walls have T-Rex bone shavings? Manhattan Parking Spot ($1 million) Kind of anticlimactic that this list is ending with something that costs a measly $1 million. But, when you consider that it's being paid for a parking spot, you realise just how outrageous it is. © Twitter The price is for a 150-200 sq. ft. parking spot which is more expensive per foot than the apartment it comes with. We all knew parking in Manhattan was expensive, but no one would have thought it was this expensive. -

Kalki Koechlin's Latest Short Film 'The Job' Will Make Your 9 to 5 Shifts Look Awesome
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Whether you open your own startup or work for one, we don't think there's anyone content with their jobs. But, no matter where you work, we don't think it can be as worse an experience as the one Kalki Koechlin faces in her job. Flying Dreams Entertainment We are not talking about her movie career. It's about her latest short film, 'The Job' that revolves around a French expat (Kalki) whose inability to differentiate between reality and illusion start affecting her current job, as she struggles to stay employed. Flying Dreams Entertainment Kalki Koechlin is one of the most underrated and versatile actresses of this generation, and time and again she has proved the same with the kind of projects she picks. And 'The Job' is no different. Flying Dreams Entertainment Directed by Siddharth Sinha, 'The Job' is a commendable approach to an inexplicable psychological trauma that Kalki's character goes through, while maintaining an eerie and suspicious vibe throughout the film. Flying Dreams Entertainment Kalki does not have any dialogues in particular; in fact, she has none. But her hands and expression do the talking to express her nervousness, fear, traumatic memories, OCD and anxieties that have forever perplexed her mind. Sinha leaves the film open-ended, expecting the audience to come up with their own perspectives and opinions about the movie, and probably that's what makes it a hauntingly beautiful experience to watch it. Flying Dreams Entertainment Check out the short film for yourself and let us know what you think of it. -
Senegal: Sadio Mane Will Be Key As The Africans Chase World Cup Glory In Russia
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Surprising that not many fans are talking about what Senegal can bring to the World Cup. The African nation has a solid, if not spectacular, squad for Russia and the group of players currently are more than capable of holding their own against the top teams. Senegal is not experienced in World Cup, but they do have the capacity to make a mark in the one currently happening in Russia. Many are already predicting the outcome of Group-H, with Poland and Colombia tipped to enter the next phase, but Senegal holds the courage to challenge that order. They have enough stars in their ranks to beat either of Japan, Colombia or Poland. History © Reuters The FIFA World Cup 2018, will only be Senegal's second ever, as previously they appeared rather ecstatically back in 2002. While their history might not be a long one, it sure is a notable one. Back in 2002, when they made their World Cup debut; then defending champions, France fell victim in their opening round. Incidentally, Senegal went on till the quarterfinals of the tournament. They lost their quarterfinal game to Turkey and lost to a Golden Goal. If comparisons are to be made, back in 2002, their group was very similar to the one in 2018. Back then, France and Uruguay were the favourites to go through to the knockout phase. Instead, it was Senegal and Denmark that went through. In the 2018 edition, they are pitted against Poland, Colombia, and Japan, and the first two are the favourites to go through. Current Form © Reuters Senegal qualified quite comfortably from their African group, winning four out their six games. Their game against South Africa had to be replayed for refereeing decisions, which Senegal won in the end. Judging from their form at the qualifiers, they look good to progress from their group but are not regarded as favourites to do so. Senegal's form at the World Cup will be entirely dependant on the tactics their coach Alou Cisse uses against teams. The former Senegal captain who led his nation at their only other World Cup in 2002, will have to gather his troops and motivate them to perform. On the field, however, Senegal's form will be determined by the star names on their squad, namely Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly who are expected to be the pillars of this team and leading them. But the World Cup is full of surprises, and absolutely anything can happen here. Expectations At The World Cup © Reuters Group stages are tricky affairs for quality teams. One mistake can lead to a downfall, no matter what form they come into the tournament. Senegal has not been at the World Cup for 16 years now, and Russia's competition will also represent only their second ever. So they could be a team ready to surprise some favourites of their group, namely Poland and Colombia. The matter of their performance will be a responsibility on some of the star names in this Senegal team. Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly are two of those names who are coming into the World Cup at the back of a sensational season with their respective clubs. There are other names like Idrissa Gueye, Cheikou Kouyate and Keita Balde who are experienced enough in Europe to understand the tactics and style of the play of their opponents and a lot will rest on their shoulders as well, to contribute and make Senegal's journey in Russia beautiful. Squad Goalkeepers: Abdoulaye Diallo (Rennes), Alfred Gomis (SPAL), Khadim Ndiaye (Horoya). Defenders: Lamine Gassama (Alanyaspor), Saliou Ciss (Valenciennes), Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli), Kara Mbodii (Anderlecht), Youssouf Sabaly (Bordeaux), Salif Sane (Hannover), Moussa Wague (Eupen). Midfielders: Idrissa Gueye (Everton), Cheikhou Kouyate (West Ham United), Alfred Ndiaye (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Badou Ndiaye (Stoke City), Cheikh Ndoye (Birmingham City), Ismaila Sarr (Rennes). Forwards: Keita Balde (Monaco), Mame Biram Diouf (Stoke City), Moussa Konate (Amiens), Sadio Mane (Liverpool, England), Mbaye Niang (Torino), Diafra Sakho (Rennes), Moussa Sow (Bursaspor). -
3 Simple Tricks That Will Make Anyone Look Taller In Jeans & T-Shirt
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Being tall is a blessing. Well, if you're tall, you probably won't understand how deep that is, but ask someone who is not as tall as you are, and you'll probably be able to gauge that. The worst thing about height is that, it's beyond your control - completely so, and there is nothing you can do to change it. What if you laid your hands on a super simple hack that can make you look taller, though? It would be great, right? Not as great as actually becoming taller, but close enough. Here are 3 simple tricks that will make you look taller in the nation's favourite outift - jeans and T-shirt. 1. What to keep in mind while picking your T-shirt Pick a T-shirt that's well-fitted, but not tight. Try to stick to a colour that goes with the shade of the jeans you're wearing. As the rule goes, monochrome makes you look taller. Try to use that here, and it will make you look considerably taller. © Viral Bhayani 2. What to keep in mind while picking your jeans The first and foremost thing to focus on is the fit. Don't pick anything too baggy, or too tight - as that will only make you look skinny and not add on to the illusion of height. Get a pair that's well-fitted yet allows you movement. Don't be scared of ripped or distressed pairs. © Viral Bhayani 3. What shoes to wear Sneakers are your best bet. Choose a pair with a little bit of heel so that it actually gives you some extra height, but avoid pairs that are too bulky. If it looks sleek and has the ergonomically designed running shoe aesthetic, it will definitely make you look taller. © Viral Bhayani Accessorize minimally with a watch and sunnies, and you're good to go! -
This Good Old Fashioned Loaded-Carry Challenge Will Put Your Strength To Test
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Humans have carried loads ever since existence. Be it primitive weapons to hunt or to carry a dead animal, we were built to pick up weight and walk. Even today, we do the same. We pick our bags, grocery, babies and what not. Only that the loads have gotten way too lighter and more than that, we look for easier ways to move heavy loads. This has resulted in something I term as 'strength leaks'. A strength leak happens when you think you are strong but fail at real life (outside of the gym) instances of moving heavy weights from point A to B. While you can be really good at heavy dead-lifting, rowing and squatting, you might just not fare well in a loaded carry or farmer's walk. Here's a challenge that you can take up to first judge and then improve your strength. Let The Old School Carry Teach You © YouTube Just like the deadlifts, loaded carry is one movement that works the body as a whole. Moreover, it teaches you to be mobile under heavy loads. If that doesn't scream pure strength training, I don't know what does. You train your grip strength, core strength and stability, traps and the entire posterior chain. The Challenge 1) Get two dumbbells or kettle bells each weighing half of your body weight. So if you are 70 kilos, each piece should be 35 kilos. 2) Find a clear patch at the gym or just take this outdoors. A lot of new gyms also have separate sled pushing tracks too. Use those. 3) Now hold both the dumbbells and walk while carrying them for 30 seconds. Cover as much distance as you can. 4) At 30 seconds, drop the weights. Rest for 20 seconds. 5) Pick the weights back up and now walk for 40 seconds. With every round, the time to hold and walk goes up by 10 seconds. Rest time remains 20 seconds flat. 6) Repeat till the time you can't do it anymore. What Your Aim Should Be © YouTube Your goal here is to progress not only with weight but with the time you carried them for, as well. Either way, if you can carry the same weight for longer duration and more distance or more weight for same distance, you are progressing. -
South Korea: The Taeguk Warriors Will Need A Miracle To Survive At The FIFA World Cup
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Despite securing an automatic spot at the World Cup finals towards the end of their qualifying campaign, South Korea headed to Russia with minimal expectations. The Taeguk Warriors finished as Group A runners-up in the Asian zone, finishing seven points behind Iran, but crucially two points ahead of Syria. In the 10 qualification games, the team won four games and, alarmingly, picked up just a single point off their five games away from home soil. History © Reuters South Korea have been involved in nine editions of the FIFA World Cup previously (1954 and 1986-2014). In all editions, preceding Russia, the South-Asian side have gone past the group stages only twice (2002 and 2010). The 2002 tournament, in particular, co-hosted by the Taeguk Warriors with Japan, gave rise to an incredible underdog story. The Korea Republic team, managed by Dutch coach Guus Hiddink back then, reached the semi-finals of the competition. The 2-0 victory against Poland in the first group match was their first ever in a World Cup. The Warriors carried that momentum in the remaining group games as they drew 1-1 against the United States and came out victorious against Portugal, thanks to a goal from Ex-Manchester United midfielder Park-Ji Sung. South Korea's second round opponents were Italy, who they defeated 2-1 in a physical encounter. The hosts were awarded an early penalty but Ahn Jung-hwan's effort was saved smartly by Gianluigi Buffon but Jung-hwan redeemed himself as his goal in extra time ensured that the South Korean dream was still very much alive. They reached the semi-finals of the competition after seeing off Spain in the quarter-finals but any hopes of reaching a historic World Cup final were shattered by Germany in the semi-finals who oust their South Korean counterparts 1-0 . South Korea went on to finish the tournament in fourth place. Current Form © Reuters South Korea's qualifying campaign was tricky, as a place to Russia was only booked after a tense draw against Uzebkistan on the final day of the group stage, coupled with Syria's failings against Iran. In 2018, the side has won only two games out of their five friendly encounters. The victories came against Latvia and Hondorous. They will be looking to bounce back from this dismal run when they play Bolivia on 7th of June in Innsbruck, before travelling to Russia. Tottenham star Heung Min Son's performances will be key to changing their fortunes in the World Cup. Expectations At The World Cup © Reuters The team is managed by Shin Tae-yong, a former midfielder for South Korea, who also won the AFC Champions League with Seongnam Illhwa Chunma in 2010. Shin, who replaced Uli Stielike midway through the FIFA World Cup qualification, has been trying to enliven a side that is defensively poor and anemic in attack. The South Korea gaffer is not a master tactician, but is known to be a good motivator. The Asian side will need all the impetus from him as they are drawn in a group that includes Sweden, Mexico and defending champions Germany. However, it is highly unlikely that they will reach the knock-out stages of the tournament. Most supporters of the team are aware of the present difficulties, and are rather diverting their attention to the potential second coming of '02 mastermind Hiddink post the World Cup. Squad Goalkeepers: Kim Seung-gyu (Vissel Kobe), Kim Jin-hyeon (Cerezo Osaka), Cho Hyun-woo (Daegu FC). Defenders: Kim young-gwon (Guangzhou Evergrande), Jang Hyun-soo (FC Tokyo), Jung Seung-hyun (Sagan Tosu), Yun Yong-sun (Seongnam FC), Oh Ban-suk (Jeju United), Kim Min-woo (Sangju Sangmu), Park Joo-ho (Ulsan Hyundai), Hong Chul (Sangju Sangmu), Go Yo-han (FC Seoul), Lee Yong (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors). Midfielders: Ki Sung-yueng (Swansea City), Jung Woo-young (Vissel Kobe), Ju Se-jong (Asan Mugunghwa FC), Koo Ja-cheol (FC Augsburg), Lee Jae-sung (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors), Lee Seung-woo (Hellas Verona), Moon Seon-min (Incheon United). Forwards: Kim Shin-wook (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors), Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), Hwang Hee-chan (FC Red Bull Salzburg). -

Costa Rica: Will We See The Gold Shorties Or A Team That Fell Short At The 2018 FIFA World Cup
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Team Costa Rica had acquired the nickname 'The Gold Shorties' in the late forties and they have been regular at making their presence felt at all important football tournaments. Their expedition through the 2018 World Cup qualifying phase has had its fair share of ups and downs. Looking at the erratic performance the team has shown in the 2018 qualifiers, critics say that Costa Rica seems to have lost that golden touch they exhibited in Brazil 2014 and that their “golden generation” has already seen its best years pass. For 2018, the team qualified by beating USA and Trinidad & Tobago who were not competitive enough to reach even the play-offs. History With its long standing football culture and tradition, Costa Rica is unarguably a strong national football team that has had a lineage in the history of Central America. In the list of its achievements are three CONCACAF Championships (1963, 1969 and 1989) and a reputation of leading the pack with an impressive eight championships in the Copa Centroamericana. With an all-time highest Elo ranking in Central America, Costa Rica has the distinction of playing in four FIFA World Cup editions. Source: Reuters Finishing first in a group of all former World Cup champions-Uruguay, Italy, and England in 2014 would be remembered as Costa Rica's best performance in history. Current Form Undoubtedly, Costa Rica has had a superb start to the final qualifying round after beating Trinidad & Tobago (2-0) and USA (4-0). But apart from these two victories, defeat against Mexico and a draw with Honduras turned out to be a dampener on their winning streak. Placed in Group E, Costa Rica will play their first game against Serbia on followed by Brazil five days later, and finally with Switzerland five days after that. The talented midfielder Oscar Ramírez, aged 52, who was part of the Costa Rica squad that secured a place in the knockout stages at Italia 90, is now at the helm of the team's affairs as their coach. Source: Reuters Team Costa Rica is to a large extent, a repeat of the squad that made the world sit up and take notice at Brazil in 2014. Prominent names include Giancarlo Gonzalez, Oscar Duarte, Celso Borges, Yeltsin Tejeda, Christian Bolanos and Marcos Urena. Among these are also European-based stars such as Keylor Navas, Bryan Ruiz and Joel Campbell. Keeping in mind their poor performance in friendlies against Spain and Hungary, the team should improve upon their faults in formation and coordination. Expectations Being in the best of form is a concern with Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz owing to their injuries. It is expected that players such as Jimmy Marin, Randall Leal and Gerson Torres, all aged 20, would reverse the run of bad form. It could be expected that Costa Rica qualify for the knockout stage in second place behind Brazil. They have to focus on scoring really well in their matches against Serbia and Switzerland. Costa Rica will be one of the few teams that rely on five at the back, so that the goal defended by their star player, Keylor Navas gets full cover. Source: Reuters Costa Rica World Cup Squad GOALKEEPERS: Keylor Navas (Real Madrid), Patrick Pemberton (Liga Deportiva Alajuelense), Leonel Moreira (Herediano). DEFENDERS: Cristian Gamboa (Celtic), Ian Smith (Norrkoping), Ronald Matarrita (New York City), Bryan Oviedo (Sunderland), Oscar Duarte (Espanyol), Giancarlo Gonzalez (Bologna), Francisco Calvo (Minnesota United), Kendall Waston (Vancouver Whitecaps), Johnny Acosta (Aguilas Dorados). MIDFIELDERS: David Guzman (Portland Timbers), Yeltsin Tejeda (Lausanne-Sport), Celso Borges (Deportivo La Coruna), Randall Azofeifa (Herediano), Rodney Wallace (New York City), Bryan Ruiz (Sporting Lisbon), Daniel Colindres, Christian Bolanos (both Saprissa).

Why The Uruguay-Egypt Clash Will Have Liverpool Fans On Their Toes
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
This time in 2014, Barcelona's potential coup for then Liverpool forward Luis Suarez was gathering pace. The move had left most Reds fans distressed as the Uruguayan striker was leading the La Celeste to the World Cup in Brazil on the back of an extraordinary campaign for Liverpool. Suarez had scored 31 goals in the Premier League, as he helped Liverpool finish 2nd in England's top division for the first time in five years. In July, his move to the Catalan side was confirmed as the Merseysiders couldn't resist a £75m offer for their star striker. The supporters were agitated at the time, but despite his switch, he is still fondly remembered at the club. © Reuters Four years on though, Suarez's mantle has been taken over and bettered by one Egyptian International in Mohamed Salah. The winger moved from Italian side AS Roma last summer, and to everyone's surprise, including the Liverpool supporters, has gone on to achieve what nobody has ever done in England before. Salah became the first player in a 38-game Premier League season to score 32 goals as his strike against Brighton on the final day of the league campaign helped him surpass the previous record (31 goals) shared by Alan Shearer (Blackburn in 1995-96), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United in 2007-08) and Luis Suarez himself (Liverpool in 2013-14). © Reuters This evening, in the second clash of the 2018 World Cup between Uruguay and Egypt, Suarez will lead the attack for his side while Salah is stuck on the bench desperately trying to recover. Both teams are eager to start off their campaign with an important three points. A lot has changed for both the players in the past four years as Salah has gone on to become the most feared hitman in England while Luis Suarez has guided Barcelona to many major honours, including the UEFA Champions League in 2015 and the La Liga on three occasions (2015, 2016 and 2018). Despite their contributions on the domestic fronts, questions will need to be answered if either of them fails to deliver in what promises to be a nerve-wracking contest. -
This 'Pull Up-Hang-Pull Up' Challenge Will Get Your Back Sore And Strong
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If you really want to test your true strength levels, get on to a pull up bar and start doing strict form pull ups. It's like a mirror test. You see the strength that actually is there. How strong are your lats, arms and core, the pull ups tell you all. But what if you are already a master at pull ups? A simple rule for building more muscle and getting stronger is to make the existing exercises tougher by either adding reps or certainly, adding more weights over time, which is called, progressive over load. If you are already doing well with not only body weight pull ups but also with weighted pull ups, try this 'pull up and hang' variation. Do Isometric Holds Build Muscle? © YouTube An isometric hold is nothing but a stretched out position in which the joint angle and the muscle length doesn't change during contraction. You remain static and stretch. A lot of guys think that 'iso holds' don't build muscle but that's false. Here's why iso holds build muscle: 1) The tension you develop on an isometric stretch is and will always be greater than the tension you can develop on a 'concentric and eccentric exercise'. 2) In a 'concentric and eccentric exercise', the tension on the stretched muscle increases and decreases as you do repetitions. 3) Whereas in isometrics, the tension on the stretched muscle grows as you get deeper into the exercise. 4) And continued tension on the muscles is what's needed to elicit gains. 5) But this doesn't mean that all you have to do is isometrics. You need to program them into your workouts intelligently. Here's an example. The Challenge © YouTube Alright, let's get to it now. 1) Hang on to a pull-up bar (warm up if you must.) 2) Choose the grip you are the strongest in- Chin-up grip, power grip or the conventional pull-up grip. The choice is yours to make. (Just remember that the point of a grip is to help you be stable and move heavier weight without compromising the form.) 3) Now do 5 full range of motion (ROM) strict form pull ups. 4) At the end of the 5th pull-up, pause at the bottom for 10 seconds. 5) After the 10 seconds end, do as many pulls as you can till failure. Yes, do even one if you can, after the 10 seconds end. The 20 second pause here is nothing but an isometric stretch that puts the latissimus dorsi, erectors and the rhomboids under immense stretch contraction. -

Instagram Will No Longer Notify Users If Someone Screenshots Their Story
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Instagram was testing a feature that would notify users if their stories were captured via a screenshot. The feature experimented for several months, however, it seems like Instagram has decided to cancel this feature altogether. © Twitter Instagram never really announced that the social media company was working on this feature and it was only available to select users. The beta testers would get a notification whenever someone would screenshot their story, similar to how it works on Snapchat. Users would see every screenshotter's username next to the camera shutter icon. © YouTube Instagram told BuzzFeed news, that the company has “officially ended this test.” There is a possibility that the company may incorporate some other form of screenshot protection into the app sometime in the future. As of now, users will be able to screenshot stories or record story videos shared by others without ever having their identities revealed. © Instagram Instagram did not detail why the company decided to ditch this feature. Screenshot notification is a marquee feature on Snapchat and this was clearly another feature lifted from Instagram's competitor. As of now, Instagram still alerts users when screenshots of disappearing direct messages are taken.
