I don't know if you're allowed to correct someone when you're playing Ignorant Native. :laugh:

:drinker:

Two snakes would make me feel full too! Great work,OP.

Ohhh... So like, when you go to another country on vacation and can't speak the language so you just English louder? Does that make us the natives in this scenario?

who said anything about winking? This is (shockingly) not a MrTolerable thread.

Why did you sneak away? couldn't you just say thank you and then leave? Obviously, you think there's something wrong with women accepting free drinks, then not putting out, but since you thought you had to sneak away without saying thank you and goodnight, it appears that you think you owed the guy something too. Not sure…

I'd hit it. The pizza, I mean.

:laugh:

He cheated. He wlll always be a cheater. If he's the kind of dude who likes enjoying dirty little secrets while she is at work, it doesn't matter how amazing she looks. there will always be a willing pizza somewhere.

I don't know about "everyday," but someone did once tell me women shouldn't lift more than 20 lbs or they'll get hernias. I lift more than ten times that, but no hernias yet. Maybe my body is just a faulty model.

"There's always that one person" so "why is everyone so mean"? Um. I don't know how to tell you this, but that's not mathing right.

Me too. Yay, literacy!

I'd pay to see the cast of Survivor hunting the Kardashians with spears.

That's not what the post said, first of all. And secondly, hunger isn't the question.

Given the apparent drama this could generate at home, it appears that it was a wise idea to ask how to broach the topic. The OP is being logical and calm and thinking through a conversation she wants to have with her SO. To me, that's a point for her.

And ditto here. Equally ridiculous. This also happened to me and I am glad it did. I wasn't upset either. /shrug Guess I'm terrible at being a woman, but from the looks of things in here, doing it "right" isn't something I'd aspire to.

You. I like you. Thanks for saving me the effort of typing every word of that.

blatant pot-stirring is blatant.

One pound down is progress in the right direction. Honestly though, one month is probably not *quite* enough time to see a major difference when you are doing this "the science way." I suggest you stick to exactly what you've been doing for another 2-3 weeks, and weigh again then. If at that time you have not lost at least…

By chance a chatty kathy started messaging me this morning. PM kissmeplease305, he seems pretty free today, too!

Are you the person who pronounces "crayon" as "crown"?

For whom?

Sorry, I'm confused. You weren't waiting to use the machine, right? So... someone sitting on a machine that nobody needed is a reason you are considering not going to a gym. Well. I see.

Sam, you're probably right, as I had forgotten totally about joker sets till you mentioned them. I have all my practical experience with the original 5/3/1 and read Beyond last summer when I couldn't exercise due to injury. I've never done Beyond myself, and it looks like I forgot a lot out of disuse. Definitely agree that…

Do you know your body fat percentage? You may be fit but still need to drop some fat. If you are already fairly lean, you may need to build some muscle by doing a bulking cycle (eating above maintenance to gain muscle).

How are you measuring this? It's notoriously difficult to measure body fat percentage in a reliable way. How many pounds/kg are we talking about here?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what this is. Maybe there's another name for it?

There *can* be enough volume in 5/3/1, but that's not necessarily guaranteed. I'm not sure where I said 5/3/1 was a program like SL/SS or was not a training philosophy, but I agree that there's a big difference between those things. I've done both 5x5 and 5/3/1, so I'm aware of how much space Wendler leaves for variety and…

<<<Obviously loves 5/3/1. However, as a noob to lifting it's a big thing to sacrifice the early strength gain period that can really give you a good baseline. Additionally, 5x5 has the volume necessary to really help you get your form down solidly. Look into Texas Method if you want something that will progress you a…

Hip thrusters are magical. I saw more improvement in 10 weeks of those than in months of squats and deadlifts. Not to say squats and DLs aren't helpful, but hip thrusts really take it to the next level.
