What's to say that your girlfriend or wife has a clue how to cook either?

I'd prefer he subscribe to Cuisine At Home but beggars can't be choosers.

the fact that you wifed them up should say that they are a damn good cook wtf

My household does the standard man cooks meat, woman peels the potatoes and prepares all the other stuff. I don't think it makes me feminine that I cook, its not like I sit around watching Rachel Gay and ****.

Nothing like cooking bacon with your shirt off and having the hot grease spackle up your chest while giving you the essence of pork smell the rest of the day. Thats how you attract the womenz.

i'll start cooking for chicks when they are the ones paying for dinner/drinks etc, which sometimes they are. serious gf or wife is different because they are pulling their weight at that point. if i am just dating you though, and spending money, lol at cooking for you too, ffs that is ridiculous.

Sounds about right. I burnt the first 20 things I grilled. Now I am an advanced griller.

lol I do. well not her, but Iron Chef and a few other shows. Rather watch the food channel then MTV. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. Besides intense training, poker and sex with teh wimmins atm there ain't a whole lot more in the **** hole of a city I live in. So kinda dig learning cooking, and well, eating.

I used to watch Alton Brown's, Guy Fieri's, and Tyler Florence's shows. They're all pretty good.

meh, guy fieri tilts the **** out of me. alton brown > american test kitchen > tyler florence.

Heston Blumenthal had a show called In Search of Perfection and a follow up Further Adventures In Search of Perfection which are both good.

I can understand that. I just cook a lot of American-style dishes and so Guy's show is pretty good for that.

Alton Brown's show is obviously the best; I don't think anyone is disputing that.

Yea, I watched 2 of those. One was the perfect steak, and another time it was fish and chips. the steak was a bit over the top, but learned how to make a decent french fry.

I can't find much information about Alton Browns food backround, most of it is film/TV etc...this dude knows an absurd amount about everything food related and has a goddamn vinegar cellar. How does he know it all?

Well, he did go to culinary school, not that it explains it all since he obviously knows more than the vast majority of culinary grads I've met:

Alton Brown's show is very informative, but it's also kinda annoying. And those little skits make me primed for murder. Despite this, he's still pretty good.

Cooking is pretty sweet, the thing that tilts me is the cleaning up part afterwards, once I get over that, I don't mind cooking at all.

My GF and a friend of hers has decied to do a 30km (19ish miles) cross country skiing race in 4 months and both are in pretty bad shape but are according to themself pretty good skiers. Where we live there wont be much snow to practice on so what do you think will be a good exercise schedule for them?

I suggested:

Monday long distance running, pretty much run as far as you can. Finísh with some sit ups/push ups/dips against a park bench

Wednesday Gym: Back, Shoulders, Triceps, Abs

Friday Sprints, in the beginning on a flat surface later on in hills. Finish with some sit ups/push ups/dips against a park bench. Maybe swap this for long distance running the first 2 months and then do sprints

They probably wont do more than 3 days a week.

sounds good add in some bosu ball bicep burners too on the wed.

Donnie Thompson squats 1260 for a new WR but amazingly it doesn't pass, well done judges.

looked a little shallow to me, but so do most squats I see that is anything over 1k

Definitely above parallel but not as bad as his lolsquats (I know I know, no squat over 1200lbs no matter how geared should be considered lol but check the depth) during his WR total. His belly is huge so its hard to tell in real time as well.

I loved the woman saying "Are you ****ing kidding me?" when he got red lights.

Seriously though what is up with monolifts? There just seems something so wrong to me about not unracking the bar and walking it out yourself.

I don't care if he could lift a tank, that is just preposterous.

ha, its funny though because that was a lot(well maybe not a lot, but at least noticeably) deeper than some other PL squats that get passed.

I find the general atmosphere of those videos annoying. I couldn't hang.

Yeah, compare that vid to the one Ra_Z posted, difference is pretty big.

When are we getting coach Fondue?

I bet he could hang.
