Tom looks a lot older.

Not sure if whoosh

Wheels "documentary" with that film-maker who did all the work on Kai Green documentaries and "raising the bar". Can't recall his name.

Mike Pulcinella.

(which is why the first RTB was about Dave).

Kinda shocked all the comments from that video aren't about Gaglione and his sexual harassment stuff...lol.

I bought RTB2 but not the others, it was pretty k. Good reminder that bbers without real hobbies, interests, or careers are often horribly boring human beings. loled hard at Dave's ideas about low sodium during contest prep. He had a podcast that was not really about bodybuilding but just a 2 hours of drunkenly shooting the **** with another bbing bro. Very NSFW and had to take down all the episodes later on because of sensitive info about past anallings and secret filmings of anallings and that kind of thing. He's a freak, and a very weird dude but is definitely hilarious. And so is Mike. The strongman/highland games guy is a cousin I believe and very normal. I saved about 1/3rd of the episodes and feel the need to re-upload them, they were fantastic entertainment.

Had no idea about Gaglione sexual harassment stuff. Googled but info was scarce. Cliffs?

This was the most boring Larry Wheels video that I could have possibly imagined. At least film the guy getting a siqq chest pump or smth.

I ran across some allusions to the Gaglione harassment stuff when I was scrolling through powerlifting reddit a few months back, but I can't remember exactly where. I'll paw through it when I get home in a few hours and see if I can dig something up.

That is some spectacularly low content!

Steve, buddy of mine. Good dude.

Apparently he sexually assaulted tons of the chicks he trained. One person brought it to light, then another, and another, and another, etc...

He's a fat long islander. Pretty sure this is to be expected.

I actually met him at a seminar 5ish years ago. He showed up to a waste of money seminar with Mark Bell and the Jesse dude whose name escapes me. Was at my old gym. Dude was fat was all I recall.

HC politarding

Eric Weinstein finally drops some fairly compelling arguments for affirmative action. Great shivs on Noah Smith as well. Peterson as usual muddled and boring.

Can't really fathom listening to anything where Dave Rubin is involved. What a drip.

TIL Soulman and I have literally the same floors. I think we just became best friends.

Is this the only LC thread left now?

Realized my new gym has no leg curl station so, in a stunning reversal, going with "no". Just a bunch of squat racks and benches with one of those glute-ham-raise stations. Seems more like a finishing move to me. I don't even think they have an incline bench but they do have dumbells that go up in 2.5 lb increments.

Gainz.

I feel crook just thinking about it. I'm not sure what I'd choose as the optimal food to eat in an eating competition.

crook: australian slang for sick/unwell.

Not to be confused with the US slang term "crook" which means criminal. As in "I live in Crook County Illinois."

Happy independence day, hope you celebrated by blowing up a small part of it with fireworks

Aidan,

USA#1 prefers blowing up big parts of other countries instead.

But still:



What are food traditions on July 4th exactly? BBQ? Obv regional but...

I saw someone do these fruit sparkler things. They looked really pretty. I don't think they eat them though.

That was a new thing to google! Seems a bit weird to make but not eat?

Not sure, but I am eagerly awaiting Monte's food TR

Standard is normal grilling/cookout food - burgers, hot dogs, etc..

With a side of freedom.
