YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

My scale broke the monday or tuesday before thanksgiving. New one showed up Saturday. Wife and I both were heavier on the new scale. "Probably just the new scale"

Weighed my eleiko bar on it to see how far off it was. Exactly 20kg.

Saw a dude take a gnarly wipeout trying to do box jumps on steppers that clearly weren't made to be stacked. He kept at it, though.

You will be the effigy I burn, infused with all the traits that make them the detestable little goblins they are.

There's this dude at my gym who wears gloves every time he lifts, even though he's not lifting nearly enough where his hands would get damaged. Talking like 60lbs for curls and benching under 135. But the worst loving thing is that his gloves reek of vinegar and BO, I can smell him 15 feet away and I'm ready to gag. I want to say something to him but I...really don't want to interact with him. Also every time he does anything he makes a face like Arnie in The Running Man.

On the plus side I got 4 reps out of 275lbs squat today, goal is 315 by May.

Once upon a time I would carry a chalk ball in my gym bag and holy poo poo did that thing go to smell awful fast.

The chalk itself would have lasted me forever but there was just no way I could keep using it.

I like to work out at lunch and them go back to my desk wearing the same but now smelly underwear and socks. I don't bring a change of these for some reason.

I also like to sit at my desk without my shoes so my smelly socks air out.

Don't doxx me.


Also i have an entire shelf in my cube devoted to gym clothing. Wear it once, febreze it. Wear it twice, take it home. Do until out of clothes, then wear the same thing 4 times because gently caress laundry when you need to get quarters.

In other news, hooray it looks like my injuries haven't made me lose that much lifting power, i just get winded a lot faster and can only work out for like 45 mins, not a whole hour, or hour-15.

Yeah, I was all paranoid about losing strength after catching a bug over the weekend but it's pretty much all back now. Paranoia was compounded by missing 2 workouts last week due to thanksgiving loving up the gyms schedule.

What bug did you catch that you thought you'd lose strength over a few days?

I dunno I was a little feverish and weak for a few days, but it seems to have passed. My throat is pretty loving sore, other than that I'm feeling good. Think I PR'd my 225 bench press by 1 rep tonight. :toot:

I spotted for a guy today squatting 565lbs. It was a "weak day" for him as he's on a cut, he was hoping to hit 600lbs today. hoping for 705lbs next year, been lifting two years. not on juice.

There's another kid at my gym, 22 years old, weighs 370lbs (and still growing... he's about 7' tall. loving eclipse) and he's squatting upwards of 750lbs at the moment and deadlifting a little more I think.

I love finally being in a gym surrounded by serious lifters as opposed to the bullshit budget commercial gym i was in before. Although its hugely crushing to my ego but super motivational. :3:2

I love how friendly they all are too. Its funny the powerlifting/strongman crowd are the friendliest, cuddliest people of all the membership. The bodybuilders are standard a little arrogant and the crossfit/functional/group training crowd are just their usual cult-like selves.

Way more of a community vibe though.

There's some boot camp fitness type place (maybe it's crossfit?) at the end of my street and I loving hate it because people constantly shortcut around the main road by flying up my one-way street in the wrong direction. I've almost been t-boned more than once pulling out of my driveway to go to work because of idiots rushing to their 8AM session of getting yelled at through a bullhorn while dragging tires around. It's also annoyingly ironic how the parking lot for the gym is a block away but they invariably park on my narrow street so they don't have to walk the extra 500 feet. No joke, the overwhelming majority of them drive white BMW SUVs or black Maserati/BMW sedans.

people will sit and wait for spots right infront of my gym and block traffic. these are the people who do the machine circuit on the lowest setting 3 days a week and complain that they dont see any results.

i park all the way in the back of the parking lot. dont scratch my sweet ride baby. :smug:

Once every 2-3 weeks the local cops will send a car over to do a run of the street and ticket all the asshats, but sadly it doesn't happen enough to get the message through

It's like the easiest money to bring into the town, too, they could probably build that stupid loving parking garage the town has been making GBS threads their pants over for years just off ticket revenue if they started doing daily sweeps.
