John Green a Recenzia našej doby

Napísal Milan Buno, knižný publicista 29. apríl 2023

Za tie roky, čo som pracoval ako knižný kritik, sa z každého človeka stal recenzent a ľudia píšu kritiky na všetko. Päťhviezdičková škála sa uplatnila nielen pri knihách a filmoch, ale aj na verejné toalety a svadobných fotografov.

Nápadité a vtipné eseje o človeku vo svete.

Liek, ktorý užívam na obsedantno-kompulzívnu poruchu, má na stránke Drugs.com viac ako tisícsto hodnotení s priemerným výsledkom 3,8.

Recenzia našej doby je zbierka krátkych esejí Johna Greena, ktorá ponúka autorov jedinečný pohľad na súčasnosť a ľudské aktivity, ktoré formujú a menia svet okolo nás. Pomocou päťhviezdičkovej stupnice hodnotí predmety, ale aj udalosti, ktoré nás ako ľudstvo obklopujú a s ktorými prichádzame do kontaktu.

Eseje založené zväčša na autorových osobných skúsenostiach a spomienkach sú prepojené s konkrétnymi vedeckými informáciami a faktami. Rozmanité témy sú adaptáciou a rozšírením Greenovho prelomového a kritikmi uznávaného podcastu The Antrophocene Reviewed. V ňom sa zamýšľa napríklad nad schopnosťou ľudí obdivovať dokonalosť prírody – koľko generácií už malo možnosť vidieť Halleyho kométu alebo to, ako vône dokážu vyvolať zabudnuté spomienky –, prečo sa (ne)báť zlatého stafylokoka alebo to, aký vplyv na svet majú klimatizácie, QWERTY klávesnica či plyšové medvedíky.

Vypočujte si úryvok.
Z knihy číta Vlado Kobielsky:

Recenzia našej doby je zbierka plná prekvapení. John Green má úžasnú predstavivosť a dokáže dať na papier myšlienky pútavým spôsobom. Jeho postrehy sú bystré, trefné, premyslené a ak navyše využije svoj rozprávačský talent, získa si vás. Sú to mikro príbehy, ktoré si môžete dávkovať pred spaním... také malé, no jedinečné komentáre o živote okolo nás, ktoré môžu otvárať oči. 

John Green je úspešný americký spisovateľ, autor románov Poučka o podstate predvídateľnosti Katherín (IKAR 2015), Papierové mestá (IKAR 2014, 2015), Na vine sú hviezdy (IKAR 2013, 2014), Všade samé korytnačky (IKAR 2018), Kam zmizla Aljaška a Will Grayson, Will Grayson, ktorý napísal spolu s Davidom Levithanom.

    detailed knurling section below), there is no interference with the knurl sample like on a plated coating (chrome, zinc, and so
    on.). The draw back to black oxide is that it’s susceptible to oxidation over time, but not to the level of naked metal.
    I’ve owned this bar since 2018 in my humid South Carolina garage,
    and it has held up nicely with oil software each 3-4 weeks.

    Think of this biceps exercise more as a concept somewhat than a
    strict program. We listed a ton of variables and strategies to consider when you're coaching the biceps which might be usually ignored in other programs.
    Here’s a short summary of the most important variables for biceps training.

    Or you are able to do supinated lat pulldowns as a substitute, although
    that’s not an possibility when you prepare
    at residence. Now when it comes to emphasizing
    the quick head, we merely reverse what we did for the long head.
    Subsequent, in case your lengthy head is lagging behind, then what you need to do is begin implementing workout routines
    that preferentially target this head. Not Like the
    the biceps, the brachialis muscle solely has one purpose and
    that is to flex the arm. So with that being stated, let’s check
    out a workout you are in a position to do to enhance your biceps width, by first prioritizing the brachialis and then working on your
    less developed biceps head. Whereas the brachialis will be the primary elbow flexor,
    this is still a big role for the biceps as properly.
    Training gurus have lengthy taught the bodybuilding plenty the logic of working a smaller muscle group
    such as the biceps after a bigger muscle group like again, or triceps after
    chest or shoulders. Whereas that makes sense,
    if you’’ve ever tried that arm exercise without
    preceding it with a larger muscle group, then you know how intense—and
    pumped—your arms can get whenever you train them
    alone. The chest and bicep workout routine kicks off with bench presses before shifting to
    lighter isolation work. When it comes to constructing massive
    biceps and forearms, the rope hammer curl is an efficient isolation exercise
    that targets the brachialis and brachioradialis.

    Constructing a large, thick, detailed again isn’t a model new concept revealed solely to modern-day bodybuilders like Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, and Phil
    Heath. Arnold, Franco Columbu, and others they skilled with additionally knew the significance of the back double-biceps and lat
    spread poses for profitable main competitions.
    "If you wish to enhance your pulling ability, don't skip bicep day. If your guns run out of juice method before your rear delts, traps and lats, you are compromising your massive pulls and your again positive aspects too", not to mention increasing your risk of injury.
    If you’re in this camp, you’ve probably tried tips like going heavier with the smaller arm or doing more
    reps with the identical weight.
    To understand why the record of the best biceps workout
    routines looks prefer it does, you should perceive how the muscle itself features.

    Let’s dive into a fast and easy-to-understand anatomy walkthrough.
    Considering everything we have already coated, it ought to be
    fairly simple to determine some major advantages that come from coaching your biceps.
    Firstly, you'll develop the muscle, which is according to what most individuals consider to
    be ideal physique objectives. But it is extra than simply about looks—healthy elbow flexion will let you do greater than you would
    possibly count on, from hauling grocery baggage to picking up
    your youngsters. Over the years, a quantity of studies have sought to research
    one of the best biceps workouts.
    As such, this exercise is excellent for creating thick and muscular arms, not simply bulging
    biceps. Whether Or Not you’re doing a simple bicep
    workout with just some workouts or a fancy one
    with a nice deal of different movements, the bicep hammer curl all the time makes a superb addition to your routine.

    The EZ-bar preacher curl is an extremely effective train for targeting the biceps peaks.
    Following a full range of motion is crucial for bicep and tricep
    workouts to maximise muscle fiber stimulation. Chin-ups are the ultimate word upper
    body, again, and biceps builder as a outcome of you’re using your complete bodyweight
    as resistance. It Is not just one of the best bodyweight bicep train, it is also the most
    effective of one of the best bodyweight workout routines.
    Similar to the exercise above except you might be utilizing a reverse grip.

    When it comes to arm training, one muscle specifically always seems to hog the spotlight.
    The biceps brachii is the massive two-headed muscle that makes up a lot of your upper arm, however it
    doesn’t work alone. Historically, it was popular to train each main muscle
    group as quickly as a week—e.g., chest day on Monday, legs on Tuesday, again and biceps on Wednesday, and so forth.
    This was regarded as the most effective cut up for muscle development because it gave every muscle group a full
    seven days to recover earlier than working it again. In this article, we’ve suggested
    sticking to a rep vary of 8-12 reps for 3-4 sets.
    If your objective is construct size, this is the optimum rep vary for hypertrophy, so
    pick an applicable weight that lets you keep within this rep range while nonetheless feeling challenged.

    This limits its effectiveness considerably in totally growing the biceps, notably
    in the elongated range of motion, however it stays a staple for building mass
    and foundational strength. They are usually carried out
    after the barbell curl; nonetheless, you'll have the
    ability to perform them at any level all through your workout.
    You ought to carry out the barbell biceps curl at the beginning of your arm coaching routine.
    Nevertheless, when you prepare your again and biceps on the same day,
    you should do it after you full your back routine.
    You could know some of them, however a few of these
    workouts are distinctive.
    Most of us are both right-handed or left-handed,
    and more folks than you'll suppose have one biceps that’s
    barely larger than the opposite. When this measurement discrepancy is lower than half an inch, it’s barely noticeable.
    If you’re looking to goal your biceps and solely your biceps, then concentration curls are your train. After that, we'll maintain you updated on the
    most important muscle-building analysis, lifting strategies,
    and exercise routines. They aren’t often distinguishable
    from each other, however the lengthy head (outside)
    is alleged to give your biceps a higher peak, and the short head (inside) is said to give your
    biceps more width. First and foremost, you need to always carry with the proper form.
    Curling with the correct method helps to forestall
    frequent weight lifting injuries whereas concurrently keeping more of
    the stress on the target muscle tissue.
    You should constantly switch up your coaching routine to
    keep away from hitting an overhead ceiling. Many lifters make the error of heading proper into their exercise as quickly as they
    step into the health club. Neglecting to heat up your goal muscles increases your odds of
    harm. Biceps are particularly susceptible to tears should you
    do an extreme amount of too quickly.
    Though there are solely three workouts, don’t underestimate how challenging this exercise is.

    When you’re a beginner, you can grow from only a few units
    per body half per week. So by doing 9-14 sets right
    here, you’re going above and beyond the call
    of obligation to make sure that you’re not leaving an ounce of muscle growth on the table.

    You are using your torso as the resistance to perform a
    biceps curl. As A Result Of you’re holding a towel within the impartial grip place, you’ll train your biceps
    and forearms from a special angle.
    Look at photographs of him posing and you’ll discover that he
    would usually twist his upper physique in such a way that he’d end up dealing
    with the camera or the judges whatever the pose.

    This gave him the looks of having a smaller waist, and was an essential technique for him in competitors.

    I’m Murshid Akram, a private coach, fitness blogger, and founding
    father of thefitnessphantom.com. I primarily design workout plans and
    share science-based and sensible data that can allow you to
    turn out to be stronger, practical, and healthier.

    Coaching these one at a time lets you focus on every arm
    individually, getting the most out of every set and rep. As it is
    a compound movement, do not isolate the triceps an extreme amount of, but specializing in flexing
    and lengthening the elbow may help make positive the triceps
    are the limiting components on the finish of a set. Though it is an excellent bang-for-your-buck train, compounds
    can overlap with other coaching. You do not want a fatigued or sore chest
    to restrict your triceps training. If an intermediate to advanced bodybuilder requested
    me what’s one of the best workout for mass positive aspects whereas altering the form of their muscles, I
    would point them to the FST-7 workout routine. Hit this routine
    two instances every week if potential, with no
    much less than 48 hours of rest between workouts, switching out exercises for those
    listed as desired.
    "The calves are like no other muscle, and daily they appear to have a unique mood. Generally I can do calf raises with sneakers on and it feels higher, then different times the footwear get in the way in which and I have to do this train with naked feet…It’s strange, type of supernatural. The Fitness Phantom is a database of lots of of exercise routines and workouts which might be supported by ground expertise, research journals, and fitness specialists. His specialty is helping people construct muscle to enhance their strength and general health, with clients together with school, skilled, and Olympic athletes.
    The plank hits your glutes, core, chest, triceps and shoulders in an isometric fashion. The renegade row (which is a row from a plank position) works your biceps, back, and rear delts. And the plank to squat works your legs, glutes, low again and traps. It’s a great advanced, multi-phase, multi-joint train that is going that can assist you construct mass and brute power whereas burning lots of energy on the similar time. The clean can also be an train that can be accomplished with relatively heavy dumbbells.
    This is adopted by the Pronated Cross Body Curl which emphasizes the brachialis. Then we will work the outward rotation of the shoulder with the No Money Curl. One of the best huge workouts for biceps is the Barbell Cheat Curl because the ‘cheat’ through the concentric portion of this curling train permits us to create nice eccentric overload. This simple motion is just a standing bar curl with a cheat constructed into the motion. Stimulating the biceps muscle with particular focused workout routines is necessary if you need to enhance your biceps growth. Maintaining your elbows at your sides, bend your arms to curl the bar all the way in which toward your chin, holding the height contraction for a moment.
    This might help strengthen your mind-muscle connection, which is essential for constructing greater muscular tissues (3). Utilizing dumbbells means you can supinate or flip your forearms as you curl the burden. This involves the second operate of the biceps and could help trigger higher muscle progress.
    You don’t must aspire to Teyana Taylor or Jason Momoa ranges of buffness, either. (Though, should you do, is sensible.) No matter what your #goals are, there are some moves out there just for you — no dumbbells or barbells required. You’ll also find a bunch of coaching programs and exercises within the app. Many are free, but our more superior packages and workouts (such as this one) are for premium users solely. The examine has proven that the concentration curl had the greatest EMG activity, followed by the hammer curl and the preacher curl. Many folks don’t understand that this close grip position is definitely more pure on your wrists.
    Lifting heavier weights to attain bicep hypertrophy whereas preserving the wrists in a extra neutral lifting position. Start with a lighter weight and full this transfer firstly of your arm workout, so the biceps aren’t already drained. You’re better off upping your reps and burning the biceps as a substitute of adding an excessive quantity of weight and never having the power to complete quite a lot of reps. Problem yourself with extra weight on the barbell; because of your positioning and the burden distribution, you’ll more than likely be succesful of raise extra. Focus curls ought to be performed two to four occasions per week. We’re breaking down 10 bicep workouts that can get you feeling swole, robust, and sculpted.
    The trick with towel curls is to carry your leg as excessive as possible whereas maintaining good kind. Doing this creates a particularly intense bicep contraction that rivals that which free weight workouts can present. Nevertheless, similar to the biceps, you cannot utterly isolate each tricep head to coach them individually. You can, nonetheless, use totally different grip positions and workouts to emphasize one head greater than the others. Some lifters argue that free weights are all you want, dismissing the need for machines. I understand the appeal of free weights—they enhance stability and have interaction supporting muscles—but I imagine machines add useful advantages.
    Maintain the contraction at the high for a hard one rely, then slowly lower the bar alongside the identical path. Stand in entrance of a low-pulley cable with a brief straight bar connected. Regulate a preacher bench so that the top of the pad suits securely under your armpits. Take an inside-shoulder-width, underhand grip on the EZ-curl bar—so your palms are angled inward— and position your higher arms parallel to one another on the pad. This workout is for you if you train at residence (or just love dumbbells). It’s a complete dumbbell arm workout for constructing your biceps and triceps in the consolation of your house.
    Train your again and biceps once per week should you work out three to 4 days per week and twice when you work out six days a week. You can even do an alternate curl in the finest way to focus on one arm at a time. Good news, regardless of how many candles are on the birthday cake, there's no cap on how much your weapons can grow.
    But with a bar, you truly wish to use close grip, which can flare your arms inwards. The solely potential downside with this exercise is that it’s most challenging near the highest position of the curl when the biceps are almost absolutely contracted. But when you don’t have access to cables, you possibly can at all times replicate this motion with dumbbells. Muscle activation isn’t the be-all and end-all for muscle growth.
