    can we get an adequate definition on what serious is??

    I never smile while lifting. Is that serious enough?
    Kinda loved this :)

    there are plenty of serious lifters on this site as well as competitive champions.

    ^this

    It's just that the signal-to-noise ratio is a little lower than other sites...

    ...although based on what I've read on some of those other supposedly more serious lifter sites, I'm not entirely certain of this.

    Stick around and add to your FL as you find them here.

    yup, there is a vocal population here that thinks jillian michaels videos and bodyweight workouts are serious lifting.

    There's a few of us though that actually move heavy stuff. Bigger population on bb.com.

    Check out the 225 bench press challenge thread.

    Negged for talking chit about Jillian michaels.
    She's. So. Hot.
    seriously.

    Jillian Michaels? Hot?

    Time for a drive by argument, "Oh, Reginald, I DISAGREE!"
    I dunno, I do have a thing for batshit crazy. If my past is any indicator.

    Hey, me too!



    Oh, wait. You said "15"...

    ...and not "1.5".



    Never mind.

    I think I was trying to make an angry cat face- or some such- I do a weird thing when I make a shocked look..... but it does appear to be a little bit like resting duck face.

    heh.

    not a standard look for me I assure you.

    it's okay- apparently Eva is judging me- I expect to have judgement and how many "all hail the ceiling cat"s I must do shortly for my crimes.

    I used that one because it's cute. It warms the cockles of my heart. Also, I can't find her hat anymore, or I'd get more shots of that.

    Let me tell you a story about a donut.

    I was once at a wonderful place, called Lamb Jam. A festival of food, beer, and lamb meat. One intrepid creator from the Boston area created something truly amazing.

    A round donut, fried well, in fresh oil, cleaned of excess and rolled in sugar and cinnamon. Easily, the size of a baseball. She then opened it, and added a tagine of lamb, filling the baseball of love with braised lamb, figs, preserved lemon, cardamom, and honey.

    Life seemed... different, after that.
