21
Right.
22
Yes, I am entering in a weightlifting competition.
23
Yeah, so how much do you bench?

You just put a lot.

A lot?

A lot of weight moving on that bar.

That's not a number.

How much do you bench?
58
It's like, sister, listen to me when I say it.
59
Stop calling me sister.
60
What is weight anyways, right?

Like that's a man-made societal construct.
62
Like what would Einstein say if he heard you talking like that?
63
Enough!
64
Alright, can I...
65
Can I be honest with you?
66
That is all I want.
67
I'm worried that when you find out how much like I actually bench, you're not...
68
You're gonna want to get drinks with me Friday.
69
No, I don't care how much you can bench.
70
Physical strength is not what's important to me.
71
Your emotional strength is what's sexy to me.
72
Really?
73
Really?
74
So why don't you just tell me the number and we'll forget about this whole thing.

81
Are you signed up for the muscle man competition this year?
82
Don't fill out the max bench form.

85
Last year he shed himself trying to max out.
86
You sh yourself.
87
I think it was just during the warm up.
88
He was struggling in the bar.
89
He could not get it anywhere.
90
He went, uh, that's not the truth, but what happened was I'll still call you.
91
I'll take the forms.
92
I love you.
93

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
