Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

I have heard the Hershey bar bit. Every hour on the hour for every waking hour. Hershey bars were cheaper back then!

Money was a non-entity to those guys, haha. I remember stories of a dude and his wife getting into an argument, because he wanted to buy a reverse hyper and they had no money, and he yelled something like ā€œWhat’s more important: us going into debt, or me adding 70lbs to my deadlift? EXACTLY!ā€

That’s the thing that’s making me apprehensive about just going 110% all in. My boss will have to hire a helper to push me around on a dolly because I’m so full.

Channeling my inner JM.

Final confession of the day- after eating my slices of pizza and candy bar, I realized I forgot to pack a fork to eat my ground beef and cheese. My plan is to either ā€œdrinkā€ it out of the container, or use the handy little utensils on the ends of my hands called fingers… I wonder if the refrigerant oil all over them is calorie dense…

Raw eggs are delicious! Corn syrup, on the other hand, would probably make me sick

Looking at the health of the average American and how much corn syrup they consume, you’re more right than you know

Nah. Just do everything from a scissor lift.

We had a fat guy on the refrigeration crew I was on who did that. He even had a 2x8 to put across the bottom railings of the platform for a seat.

The creativity it takes to be lazy must be exhausting lol.

When I watched Westside Vs. The World I could’ve sworn it was a dark comedy haha. Some of the stories from that film (and era) are unreal.

As far as binge meal confessions go, there’s a Thai food place down the street from me that we get take out from every couple weeks. One of the best cost/portion/flavor ratios I’ve come across. I could definitely get two meals out of one if I were so inclined, but it never happens that way.

When engineers are trying to design production lines, we tell the laziest guy on the line to figure out a way to do it - it is always the most efficient way.

Dude, as a lazy-ass engineer, I approve. The biggest benefit of an engineering degree is the ability to work/design for a day just to make an hour’s job take a minute.

I feel it. I used to do 2 meals a day when installing equipment in my company’s plants. Woofing down 1800 kcal at lunch and going back to hammering on shit is not a good time. You learn real quick what your stomach can and can’t get along with. Panda Express saved my life a few times.

Also, for some reason, the agave flavor of Full Throttle energy must have a digestive effect. If I cranked one of them down before I had to do physical work, I didn’t have the usual GI distress.

In a couple of hours, we will visit an acquaintance, who are a serious lifter.

I confess, that I have just pumped a few chin-ups and and triceps pull-downs to in the hope of looking like I at least know what a dumbbell is. :no_mouth:

Reading this, I think I also should confess that I have pumped up, like fully gone 100% for a skin-splitting pump, just for no reason other than vanity before leaving the house. Hell, I do it before swim training if I have the time. I’ve also done it before a sports game when our team found a bunch of resistance bands in the equipment room - it was a blisteringly hot day and that only made the pump better. I suppose if you look pumped and big, you intimidate the guys on the other team more, so not the worst idea.

I used to have some dumbbells at home that I’d break out before hitting the bars in my younger days… Pretty sure the pump was gone before I could get to wherever I was going lol

I confess I’ve never understood why ppl like the pump so much. I find it uncomfortable and takes away from my workout

I think it’s because, if your goal is to be bigger and stronger, the pumped version of yourself is the obvious next step in your walking around size. When you achieve that, the new pump will show your new next step. That might be total BS, but it makes meathead sense haha.

I confess that I am doing a totally unscheduled deadlift workout today in order to justify this donut

That thing looks rich, haha.

No judgment here, man. Those are rocket fuel.

So, which comes first? The deadlifts or the donuts?

There’s actually studies showing that the pump is good for hypertrophy. What I don’t get is why ppl claim love the feeling
Just because something is effective doesn’t necessarily mean it’s enjoyable
