Kill switch in cars for repossession
A new patent application suggests a kill switch in cars that can disable features like air conditioning or play unpleasant sounds to pressurize delinquent owners, and as a last resort, allow the car to drive itself to a repossession agency.
Discussion on Renegade Rows
Renegade rows are often done for their perceived difficulty and aesthetic appeal rather than the specific benefits they offer. While Renegade rows are primarily known for their anti-rotation training benefits focusing on resisting rotational forces, they may not be the most effective exercise for building muscle in the back, biceps, or shoulders. These rows are beneficial for athletes requiring stability, such as ground fighters or grapplers, but other exercises might be more suitable for muscle development.
Benefits of Landmine Exercises
Landmine exercises offer unique benefits like the trunk twist that emphasizes loaded rotation and core engagement, providing a safer alternative to traditional standing rotational movements. Additionally, power clean or clean and jerk exercises performed with the landmine attachment offer explosive power training benefits in a controlled and safe manner due to the anchored end of the barbell. Other favorite landmine exercises include the kneeling shoulder press, similar to the Viking press, providing a stable and effective variation for shoulder development.
