Isn't that true for most clothes in general? I wear a size 48 suit and they came with size 42 pants with the "athletic cut". Had to get them tailored down to a 34.

Clothes are sized for sticks and blobs with nothing in between this is swole privilege (paying more for clothes that fit)

Anybody a vegetarian who also meal preps? I've been making big batches of chili and curry for lunches, but I'm looking to switch up the variety if anyone has good recipes ETA: The curry recipe I use, which is really good, is here: http://silentlycooking.com/home/2017/5/28/sweet-potato-and-chickpea-curry?rq=curry

Just pile beans/chickpeas/lentils into a pressure cooker with whatever spices you prefer. Cumin, tomatoes, garlic, onions, etc. Or get pre mixed seasoning from the grocery. Jerk marinade is great too. Okra, mushrooms are also good. King oyster mushrooms are amazing.

Generally, but wet suits are supposed to be generally skin-tight everywhere, and there's only so much give in that rubber. The problem is a little exaggerated, compared to regular clothes. I've had to return wet suits when they fit my chest and arms perfectly, but I was floating in the waist and thighs. Got smaller, and I just have to deal with the tight arms and chest for the waist and legs that fit properly. I'm already boring myself with this conversation. Sorry.

All the pretty boys at my gym aren't that strong and all the big fat guys are weak. The only deceptively strong guys are the asian twinks.

Right next to me a dude is squatting with kettlebells attached to either side of the bar with those colored stretching bands. He's also got his legs completely covered with sleeves/wraps and wears huge headphones over his hoodie

How much is he squatting? If it is more than you hang your head in shame and look away, for you are not worthy to learn his ancient techniques.

Always watch the big guys squat heavy. When they miss depth by an inch you will feel superior no matter how much they have on the bar. Bunch of posers.

Here's some motivation for you struggling goons:quote:Working at the RPS NJ States Meet, I get to handle Audrey Donellan @audreydonellan through her Meet. She's 76, and has been a powerlifter for 6 years. Here she is, weighing in at 139, crushing her 3rd Deadlift at 290lbs. https://www.instagram.com/p/BednN1cH4aF/?taken-by=alexanderomand Maybe one day you can lift more than grandma!

I was about to attempt my max sumo pull for the day when suddenly fishman walked in and setup next to me. I nearly vomited. Needless to say the plates did not leave the floor.

Your glutes may also be weak making your lower back pick up the slack. I always throw in some back extensions at the end of my back workout. I'd do reverse hypers if my gym had a machine. nooneofconsequence fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Feb 1, 2018 |

I went from being one of the strongest dudes at goodlife To middling strong at my old gym To by FAR one of the weaker dudes at Fortis. It is inspirational to see a dude pulling 500lb for reps.

That sucks, I cracked a rib or badly sprained an intercostal muscle two weeks ago, but now I’m feeling pretty much back to normal. Take done time out to heal and you’ll be back in the gym before you know it.

Also I'm sometimes wondering about our healthcare here(notUS) that will pay for a gastric bypass but then will tell you to gently caress off when you have a closer resemblance to a sugar glider than a human. Their reasoning being that you cannot see the skin when wearing clothes and thus won't have a negative impact on your mental health like facial deformities.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Friends, tonight I hit the 1 plate mark on OHP. Thought I wasn't going to get it with how slow 125 moved. This is good. A bigger OHP is good, because you can ask to work in with typical guys squatting ~60-80kg and just press their squat weight. Double fun if you don't tell them what you're doing, and face a mirror to see their expressions when the bar goes above your head.

I'm still completely DYEL as well, which sort of makes that better, although my upper back and shoulders are starting to sort of get that small but jacked look.
