Brotherhood of Iron 2.0

JB I don’t know who your calling gay.

You couldn’t have forgotten how you took me on the incline bench…

Simply…amazing…

LOL Stuntman Mike!

I don’t know how bug is calling people gay either, must be to try to cover up his homosexuality…who can forget his previous SUPER homo avatar where he is like laying on a bed and looking at us like “Oh please come do me hard” - seriously ghey!

That’s it, I won’t ever post in this ghey thread again !

;D

LOL, I was actually thinking wtf are we doing to the BOI - we are turning it into a ghey thread. Good job Bug and JB!

JB, Stuntman Mike, Bug and Josh, why don’t you guys just play one big game of grab ass and get it all out already. Cripes…

Little desensitized to that now…

It’s a slippery slope.

Question for you fellas. Being 30, I’d like to think that I’ve reached a point in my life where I deserve a decent amount of respect from people. I understand that respect is earned, so I guess I’m talking about the respect that men should have towards other men when they first meet. Know what I mean?

Anyways, my wife and I were out last night looking at freezers. We are getting one as a gift and were told to pick one out. Pretty sweet deal.

So, we walk into a local store and are looking around, a salesman says some corny joke followed by “I’ll be right with you.” “No problem” I tell him. He comes over, asking questions, telling us what he has in stock. He says something, I don’t remember what exactly, but follows it up by calling me “Testosterone boy.” I had my Testosterone shirt obviously.

I just looked at him and looked away. My wife and I walk out of the store, and I proceed to say, “Even if they had a freezer we liked, I would never purchase it here.” My wife asks me why. I say, “You never call a grown man boy. Especially a man you don’t know. Friends, fine, they can say what they want, but not strangers”

Am I overreacting, or is that incredibly rude. If he would have called me “Testosterone man” yeah, fine, no problem. But no one calls me boy. Especially some greasy haired salesman.

/waiting for everyone in the brotherhood to call me boy. lol

I’m only 18, so I don’t really think it’s my place to comment, but I really wouldn’t give a shit.

Partly because I’m young, and partly because I really wouldn’t take it personally. I would do what you did, possibly express some snap and irrational feelings with him, and leave, but I wouldn’t get all bent out of shape. Just forget about it, he probably didn’t mean to disrespect you, just trying to ‘connect’. If that makes sense.

Or…(stop reading here…thats a warning)

The ‘boy’ was just a code word used by salespersons to mean “I want to do you in the freezer.” Freezer usually means butt, but sometimes it can mean nostril or even arm pit. So you may have just missed your chance, big guy.

Looka here boy, I’m 33 so I’m pulling age rank ;-). All joking aside, I would have done the same. The worst thing a stranger can do is presume a familiarity with me that was not earned as it was with my friends.

I once had to restrain myself because someone actually said my nigga to me like it was OK…my closest friends don’t even say that, let alone some dude I met an hour ago.

It must be an age thing I guess. I’m not bent out of shape about it anymore. And really, I never was, it just struck me as something you don’t do.

I guess I was bent out of shape enough to make a post about it though. Meh, who knows, who cares I guess.

Your last thought really did make me LOL, thanks, my co-workers are looking at me funny now.

Thank you! Someone who understands me.

hikes up pants to nipples

See, it’s the kids these days who just don’t understand. You don’t know me, don’t pretend to know me, and don’t act like we’re ol’ buddies. Geeezzzz…

Seriously, someone said that to you? That’s insane. How did you not go off? I would have been offended and I’m practically albino!

I was in my best friends house at a party and the guy was a guest of another friend. It just would have been in poor taste to even acknowledge it in their home an possibly start some shit.As for the kids, they’ll get it once they reach our age and then they’ll have this conversation too. lol

Much respect for maintaining your cool. Obviously, in that situation, it was the right thing to do.

Now if ya’ll will excuse me, I need to go take a microbiology test. Ugh…

Felt like absolute crap today, but went to the gym anyway.

Rackpulls from just above knees
-worked up to a single with 655lbs (100lb PR!!!)Felt like I had more in me, but didn’t risk it.

Kroc Rows
110x24 right arm, 20 left arm (Dead after rackpulls so couldn’t get 30)

One legged hamstring curls
75x3x8

Seated calf raises
180x3x15

Standing barbell calf raises
worked up to 405x8

Tried some cheat curls, almost passed out, and called it a day.

I’m only 22 and the only person that calls me boy without me thinking its rude is my father. And I call him boy too…lol

Seriously though I totally agree with you, you guys were not friends and he shouldn’t have pretended like you were. Not only is it irritating but its also kind of creepy…people with no boundaries are weird as fuck.

Nothing would piss me off faster when I’m bartending then some drunk jack ass calling me buddy, or pal, or boy, or any other familiar term.

Usually i could tell if they were doing it to be a dick, which was 90 % of the time.

And there is no way i would give money to somebody who couldn’t take 5 minutes of effort to show me some respect.

Hey guys!

Hope you dont mine me joining in here. I love the ethos of this thread!

anyway ive just come off a phase of what i guess you’d call cutting. Really nailing the hiit. This has served its purpose.

Time now to add some lbm.

Im adopting a high “intensivness” program - using rest pauses and drop sets etc…

today was quads and calfs. I also threw in some tri work at the end as they are SERIOUSLY lacking and i intend to hit them again along with delts.

from experience high rep work makes my quads blow up, theyre probably

i will post weights used in future when i have time to convert into lbs for you folks (im nice like that)

front squats
x20
x15

using CT’s mechanical drop set
fronties x 15
olympic squat x10
wide stance squat x5

collapse at this point. My quads craping BADLY. I had planned another mechanical drop set but due to the pump/cramps i couldnt. I did try - i squatted down and they spazzed out on me.

Bulgie split squats

x10 per leg

x10 per leg
drop set
x5 per leg

leg extensions

x25
10s rest
x15
10s rest
x15
10s rest
x10
10s rest
drop weight x10
10s rest
drop weight x8

DC style stretch. could hardly walk!

calf press

178kg x50
10s rest
178kg x20 slight knee bend
10s rest
178kg x20 slight knee bend
10s rest
178kg x30
i forget the rest but you get the idea here!

I’m wondering if dre was wearing his ninja shoes when this happened? lol

Probably not, surely the dumbass would have commented on those too if he was…lol
