Solid brag! Good luck over the Christmas break sir!

I totally missed this. Too late to respond. Chaos has ensued.

That will be the hardest . I drink/chew more than ever when I'm with family. By end of the night I can't resist anymore

Def just a girl thing imo

I need whatever edge I can get.

I don't think you're doing it intentionally.

lol

I thought that might happen

USAPL/IPF is legit in that they test for drugs. They dont allow speciaty bars. You have to weigh in right before the meet. They also have lots of other stupid rules that make me dislike them.

USPA/IPL is not drug tested. They allow specialty bars, which some think is FPS or something, but I like using good squat and DL bars a lot. They allow you to weigh in the day before the meet. You might be competing against some people who use steroids, but from what people tell me, most of those guys lift in multiply gear, not raw.

+1



yeah, there were judges and competitors from other countries at both USPA nationals and IPL worlds, but I'm not aware of any meets outside the US.

There are a whole bunch of other federations as well. USAPL & USPA are the two biggest that hold meets in my area.

I woke up this morning and im ridiculously sore in like my armpit (on one arm). Kind of like just below hair patch. Its really awkward and never felt it before. Doesnt really hurt thhat much with arm up in air and moving around (feel it a little) but when I put my arm down next to my side and it presses is really uncomfortable.

Yesterday was one of first days back in the gym, took it easy and did some seated rows/lat pulldowns and squats. Then I rockclimbed. could any of this have done it?

Dadude - Sure. Sounds to me like you may have adhesions or a slight tweak somewhere close to the lats/pec/infraspinatus area maybe. I'm guessing the pulldowns and rock climbing "did it" or whatever.

Yeah, get a lacrosse ball and go to town.

Unbelievable. I know from experience that I'm on the fast side but this is totally nuts to me.

I am the fastest pooper I know. I spend more time wiping than pooping. I sit down, the poop comes out in 10 seconds, I wipe, I'm done. I can do it faster than most people pee.

I guess for reg dudes it takes a few minutes. But what the **** are people doing when they're in there for, say, 10+ minutes? Like what's happening? Are you pushing? Waiting for your next contraction to start pushing again?

The other day I came in to work, and there was a dude pooping in the bathroom. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed, when I was done he was STILL POOPING. If I was on the toilet for more than 2 minutes and nothing was happening I'd just get up and come back later. You clearly just don't want it bad enough right now.

I get distracted playing with **** on my phone.

You shower at work? What do you do?

what would a lacrosse ball do?

dadude - do you even SMR?

I take long poops at work at short poops at home. Weird how that works

I'm a software developer. We have a very active group of cyclists, runners and swimmers here, so they have both mens and women's showers. I shower on the days I ride to work (2-3 days/week)

I occaisonally get my phone out but I'm usually done before I can even bring up an app.

This is the only reason to sit in the bathroom for a long time:

Some of us have complications in the bathroom. Can't be helped.

Snitch: come visit redding. I live out in the suburbs, this sign is on the road from Redding to my house-



I think a motor bike is the perfect way to see this lovely corner of USA#1

Lol Redding. Not even once.

Although probably epic for 2p2 gatherings.

That's fine, I'm not judging. I just don't know why you physically do in there.

Like are you straining the whole time? Does it come half way out and get stuck so you're basically in there until you can get the whole log out? Do you hang out for 5 minutes to see if the turtle is going to poke his head out or not? Do you have a couple logs in you but they only come out one at a time with some space in between (sometimes this happens to me with very soft poops, I can tell I'm not done so I hang out a few minutes to see if I can get it all)

There will be room for you bro. Cha's warmups require tons of plate loading.
We need you to film also. But most important, Weasel needs a good ball scratching right before liftoff. His outfit is kinda tight. I am assuming if Saw attends we will need someone in charge of food catering.

You don't just get the Iron Game given to you. You gotta earn your way, little by little. Pound by pound.

I did not know what that is and have never done it before.

With whatever that is would you reccomend not to lift today? was going to bench, press and some shoulder accessory

haha harsh loco

You'll never know unless you try...

saw facking hogging the whole thing to himself.

Strategy for max pushups in 3 mins? Doing 39 in first set and then dying clearly was not a good strategy...

Usually I'm poasting in H&F from my phone.

But since I have both problems, yeah. Getting a rock hard prairie dog to come out without tearing a new exit hole is a delicate, time consuming proposition. If it diarrhea day, you don't want to leave before you are done, especially if you have to go to a meeting or something where leaving in the middle is awkward or inappropriate.

So I'm either pleading with myself to hurry up and finish or to slow down and hope to not bleed out on the bathroom floor.
