Word. Elbows UP.

I love it when randoms come to this forum, drop declarative statements like this and just peace out

Happens pretty often it's pretty funny.

I used to have a roommate who drank a gallon of milk every day because, well, he liked it. I don't remember if it was 1% or skim, but either way he was like 6'4" and 300 pounds. Doing GOMAD for the flavor. Lol it works to gain weight I would say.

I'm a fat guy, so I'm not too flexible, so it's hard to get proper elbow position for me in low bar. I'm really not too worried about trying to eke out a few more pounds by using low bar. I'll stick with high bar with lower weights for a while along with the stretching and ART and see how it goes.

anyone have a link to the milk squats moses jpeg?

I ordered Rippetoe's book today after my first week of SS.

Am I going to need a belt?

Recommendations?

no. but you'll probably want one later. all the 10mm, 4" belts are similar from what i've read. APT, inzer, toro, etc.

Hey - Does anyone here live and work-out in london (UK)?

Couldn't find it so I up'd it here

When I am pokering, I tend to order food. This is what I've been getting lately, decently healthy for non-home made food?

If you're from Europe, you dun give a fk about salt. Or sweat it out while furiously masturbating. Add mayo.

Hows about the pattern that occurs in this forum:

Excited newb posts vague goals with less than optimal diet and exercise regimen >> Regulars of H&F berate OP and say read FAQs >> OP is antagonized and stubbornly opposes advice >> War of attrition ensues on regulars' home turf

[singing]That's just the way it is

Remember when you were one of those noobs? And then you saw the light?

Life ain't about the failures. Its about the successes.

A response to "Why the bench?" on the SS forums:

I enjoyed this.

Weight does not determine flexibility.

yeah but it prob gets in the way

Everybody wanna be a fat mediocre poker pro but nobody wanna eat these nachos and pepsi for breakfast and sit around doing nothing. I do it though.

bought some "over the calf" socks last night b/c I'm sliced open both my shins doing deads/PCs lately, they are enormous, more like over the knee. I look ridiculous but I didn't bleed, so I'll keep wearing them.

I'm finally getting to the point where I could see myself failing a PC or a FS, and frankly my gym setup is pretty dangerous for that. Right behind the power cage is a calf machine with a bar to hold the weights perfectly squared up with where I'd fall back were I to bail on the weight. Hilarity could ensue, I'll be sure to tape the next few times. Other options are to PC/Snatch in the long walk way in between the leg presses and benches, only issue there is I'd be in the way of everyone, but were I to bail backwards I wouldn't impale myself.

owner to dog weight ratio of 32:1. she is damn cute imo.

lol

OMG DOG

super cute.

Cut out two panels from a 2-liter bottle to slip inside those socks. I wore longer socks up high but I was still sharing my DNA with the bar. I haven't bled since using the Mcguyver solution.

I haven't failed a PC in a manner that would make me fall back, although I have had to take a step back a few times but I don't think I was ever in danger of falling in those instances.

haha

Evidently 70s big will be releasing a series of interviews with Rip and various well-known members of the weightlifting community.

Should be pretty sweet.

yeah i listened to a rip interview and he mentioned that. Sounds like some good guests (Starr, Wendler, some other dudes).
