The panic over gluten is the same as the panic over MSG. Both only affect a very small percentage of the population and besides, it may not be the gluten, but another protein, that people are allergic too according to the researcher that first uncovered this connection. But, heck the gluten fad sells lots of units so…

What do basketball players use? Something there perhaps?

Coca-cola on ice with Ruffles and french onion dip, crackers, french fries, alcohol.

More like a sock?

I've got McDavid's, but I use them as armor against the dl. They are around twenty. They fit snug, but when you are all sweaty, they can be a challenge to remove because of the snug.

I don't know about you, but I hate fasting between meals... and snacks.

Cool! Then I should be on track to six plates by the end of March if not sooner.

Thanks! And hey, if you do it, give a report.

I enter my workouts on BB, it came out to just over 12,000. Yeah not bad :)

Finally getting a little caught up here... and blowing off work... Hey thanks. Not quite what I expected, but it was a nice test to see what I can and can not do. Been sore all week.

Wait a decade, then everything will.

Just finished 6 weeks of that, coming off a week break. And yikes. Yep.

Well, that was a dose of humility and what reasonable expectations are. 135 x 10 185 x 6 225 x 9 I didn't have anyone to ask for a spotter since the trainers were out and only cardio bunnies on the other side of the gym. I did consider using the power rack, but I didn't want to piss off the potential person who would have…

On a planned week-long break now, except for this little test I am going to do tonight. Last break I took was two weeks long, but I planned in active rest sessions with plenty of stretching, foam rolling, and some light cardio. (I did sneak in one heavy dl session because.) An hour of stretching/foam rolling a few times a…

I did a variant of this when I was just a wee gym-neophyte back in the early 90's. At first it was only two or three sets at twelve reps, but not very heavy. Later, I lifted heavier at 4x8 after some advice I got in the gym because there was no internet in those days. It was your standard linear progression program and I…

Nice! I did get distracted at the end though.

lol. :smiley: Very true. There should be warnings on the boxes! Still, can't wait to start working on the Lego Space sets. After Legoland USA rises again, the evil Galactic Empire will once again take to the skies to crush it's defiant citizens, that is, if my four-year daughter lets me.

Argh! My daughter has taken an interest in Legos (yay me!) and I have in a box that measures 24" x 30" x 30" of my lego's from the 80s that I used to build as a kid. Last night, we dragged the box out and I got to work building Lego Main Street, (I found the old plans of that set online.) sitting bent over on the floor…

And that's the thank you give your pharmacist from saving you from a painful goiter? j/k

lol... sorry! You know how powerlifters do the smelling salt thing? Pickled herring is the new way to get that next edge.

Yum! This :

Its one of those acquired tastes. I used to reel at it, but somehow I now enjoy it but it takes quite awhile to finish one of these ^ This is my secret P.E.D. btw. lol

Cry not. I am impressed when I see men do 225 - there are a lot of guys who don't even attempt this lift and go straight for the Magnum plate machines - or whatever they are, never used them ever.

I got 275 in September and was pleasantly surprised without really trying and after only 8 weeks of working the barbell again. I took venture into GVT for the past 6 weeks, but I think 315 is more than doable. I want to hit this grand number before the end of March which will give me a full year back in the gym. If I hit…

Oh I will hubba hubba! I've got pickled herring and eggnog and beer and spiked apple cider rum and all the rest of it to indulge in.

Yes, long needed rest - my poor 43 something joints lol. It will only be my third rest week since the end of March.

I'm on a week break from everything - including tracking calories - except Wednesday when I will try this test out.

Sometimes I am not sure if it is the almost reckless eating I can indulge in, or lifting itself, I enjoy more. The food ramp is always loaded, and the volume up to 11 on the food amp because 10 isn't usually enough.
