Problem with diet is that D I E is the root word

As long as you chase beer, with beer

Just the handsome, well hung ones.

Abs

I did. First time I’ve shared it.

That was funny! That night I was hoping to hook up with the two strippers and not the crazy ex gf girlfriend, who put the c*ck block on me. I ended up with one woman that night, and not two as I hoped

Or just joined in with me and the strippers

Opposite.. yet a method to our madness!

I once dated this woman from my gym back in the day. We went out, fooled around, went out again a little then it seemed we lost interest in each other. A few months later, I was out with a good friend of mine and his girlfriend her two girlfriends who were strippers. They -- that is, the strippers -- liked me. They would…

Say I have a number of things on my plate, like three. I take great pains to finish each item within one bite of each other.

I came into the meet injured and had about three weeks to retrain some of the strength I lost in the bench. I did okay, this was only 3 pounds under last meet PR. Sometimes, you have to do what you can, to get what you can.

The body's metabolism is the best calorie burner around. What is true, is that the maintenance it takes to store fat is much less of an energy expenditure than the energy expenditure it takes to support muscle. Build muscle.

Fatigue is an unreliable indicator of progress. If the weight is challenging to you, then you are on track. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the knock-off SL because it is a shallow facsimile of Starting Strength.

Its just a head shot, but you look like you're doing all right as a middle ager.

Funny thing is, that all the "functional fit" guys all want to know from me how to increase their bench. :D

Thank you! First time at a meet I really had to stay with it!

Not so much what was on the bar, but the patience and confidence to grind this one out and get a successful 3rd attempt — even though not a platform PR. https://instagram.com/p/BiKTehwBf9W/

My reps don’t count unless I post them on Instagram. Have you considered Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube live?

4x8 is what I used to build a lot of the muscle and strength that I have now (at least in Bench). I would give myself about two to three weeks before making a 5-10 pound increase depending on the movement. Following all 4x8 reps, I would add 5-10 pounds and go for 6 Reps, then add another 10-15 pounds for 4 Reps, and then…

I suppose it could be read that way too after several readings.

I thinking she is saying that the people at PF are being hypocritical in failing to recognize the “lunk” in the mirror staring back at them.

Kilos plates, combo racks, speciality bars, 100+ pound dumbbells, bands and chains, and a cable machine for accessory work.

Do em both, then switch programs to Starting Strength.

I’d recommend purchasing more poundage stat.

I'm slowly putting the money together to upgrade my home kit -- meanwhile, I have Midwest Power Gym in Milwaukee or Winners Edge up the street to train kilos -- but first there's the new water heater, landscaping, and other buys for the new home.
