Before deciding whether and how you’ll include lying leg extensions in your back exercise program, it’s a good idea to get the terminology straight. Technically, leg refers to the lower leg, but many people use this term to refer to the entire lower extremity. When you lie on your back and lift your lower extremity with a straight knee, you’ll be flexing your hip and extending your knee. You could also keep your knee bent; this is usually recommended for beginners who have little abdominal muscle strength and/or those dealing with low back pain....

Wonder Woman was a crucial milestone for the DCEU in that it finally centered and provided representation for female superheroes, something that had been noticeably absent on screen for decades. Due to the outpour of success from Wonder Woman, the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 quickly followed in its footsteps. Now, a third film is officially on the way although the release date for Wonder Woman 3 has yet to be announced....

Chelsea are reportedly interested in the 23-year-old, who has scored 10 goals in Ligue 1 this season in 18 appearances, as Frank Lampard seeks a new forward to take some of the pressure off Tammy Abraham. It has been suggested the Premier League club could offer cash plus Olivier Giroud to tempt Lyon into a sale during the transfer window. However, although he says offers have been made for some of Lyon’s top players, Aulas insists Dembele wants to stay at the club at least for now....

Chelsea forward Giroud has struggled to establish himself in the starting XI at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Arsenal last year, with his hopes of regular football dented further by the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain. Aulas is therefore interested in signing Giroud, having suggested he initially made a move for the France international after the 2018 World Cup in Russia. “I had dreamed of having him come [last year] and I had even called Arsene Wenger for more information,” the Lyon chief told Le Figaro of Giroud....

Few would put Jason Denayer anywhere near that company, but the Lyon defender broke a passing record for Europe’s top-five leagues on Friday. The Belgium centre-back completed all 114 of his attempted passes against Angers as Sylvinho’s side ran out 6-0 winners at Groupama Stadium. Since Opta began recording such data in 2006-07, no player has ever completed so many passes without giving the ball away in a single game....

There are two size options in the 13-inch and the 15-inch models. As we said in our preview of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the 15-inch model is more deserving of the name ‘Pro’ than it’s smaller sibling. However, is it truly a pro machine? The Pro status of Apple’s 15-inch MacBook depends on what sort of ‘pro’ you are. Traditionally creative pros would have turned to the Mac for their needs, be it design work, editing photos, working with video and animation, or other jobs that require decent graphic capabilities....

Previous seasons of Love, Death + Robots have been plagued by hit-and-miss presentation, often criticized for gratuitous immaturity in place of actual depth. At its best, however, the franchise has created some truly unique pieces of art that felt like they couldn’t have appeared anywhere else. On balance, this collection doesn’t find the perfect apotheosis of the format as the first did in “Zima Blue”, nor the strange quiet genius of “The Drowned Giant”, but it also stays out of the pitfalls of “Fish Night”....

Are they ever. Soup is hot. Piping. It may even be the new coffee. In Snohomish, Wash., an hour north of the mecca of java, Seattle, a former espresso bar is now the Sourdough Soup Co. ““We thought, wouldn’t it be great if you could go somewhere like McDonald’s for soup?’’ says Erica Owens, 27, who opened Sourdough with her husband on Oct. 1. ““Maybe, like, a week and a half later we saw the Soup Nazi episode on “Seinfeld’....

The 2014 World Cup winner announced his retirement on Monday after Chicago Fire failed to reach the MLS playoffs. Schweinsteiger was an influential part of Low’s side that triumphed in Brazil five years ago, when Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final at the Maracana. The former Bayern Munich and Manchester United midfielder accumulated 121 caps and captained the national team for two years after Philipp Lahm’s retirement. “Today we talked about Argentina, when Basti finished his career, a player with such a class,” Low said when addressing the media prior to Schweinsteiger’s announcement....

Man Utd announce Lukaku deal The Uruguayan attacker moved to Anfield from Ajax in January 2011, playing a starring role for the Reds until he joined Barcelona in 2014.
