I cleaned 66x3 (hail satan) then went onto some jerk work and did 70x3 easy peasy. I should just stick to OHP.

Really though I've been training with clean/jerk and snatch for only five months. It's challenging going from casual power lifting to the much more dynamic lifts.

Rip sucks, and his style of squatting fuckin sucks imo(although maybe it's okay I'm not an expert but i feel like being mean right now).

Juggernaut all the way. I hope CWS and his iconic boat shoes aren't terrible people.

Dr. Mikey Mike is an annoying libertarian and his Facebook page is full of snowflake mockery and minimizing of trans issues.

I don't know about CWS. He seems smart enough to keep his giant mouth shut. But I haven't looked.

CWS is the coach of outed Nazi Brandon Allen and didn't make any comment about it iirc

I don't think him and Max are particularly political but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they have some lovely political views in private.

It's the intoxicating idea that effort and hard work directly leads to success combined with the limited worldview of most small business owners, plus a career and lifestyle that relies on law enforcement's uncharacteristically gentle treatment of steroids

I can only do like 3 or 4 lifts at the best of times so when my neck hurts and I can't turn my head from side to side without a lot of warming up and stretching I don't bother going to the gym.

Uuuuuuugh I hate students and can’t wait until they leave the gym so we can go back to using it again. They’re all doing their circuits of baby weights on leg press and squat racks, making it impossible to use anything.

Edit and taking loving selfies.

Rhino, you did this to me!

My new gym isn't as nice as my old one but there's a noticeable difference now that I'm not in a major college town. The few people that I even see there at night just want to get their poo poo done and go.

I dunno if he even talks about them but I didn't even bother mentioning him last night because I know for a fact my guy Nuckols is a fuckin saint. He's just too thoughtful and nice to have lovely views imo. I know that's a meme where it's like "hey don't look at your favorite person's political opinions or you'll be disappointed" but I'm sure that's not the case this time.

There are probably a lot of them, but they just don't say anything. The other option is they just don't care about politics much and hold no real opinions on it. I can respect either stance given how ineffectual caring about politics has been for decades at this point.

If I had to guess on who's left leaning, I'd guess a lot of the stronger, younger guys who you never really see outside of their social media of choice where they're just working hard or goofing off, competitions, and maybe occasionally on reddit.

It's probably bad for business and their image to take any political stance as a lifter.
