I only insult the truly deserving - many are called, but few are chosen.

I canāt see the bosu ball thing being an insult to someone who actually does that.
They would just think you were very insightful and want to talk about accessories like power tu-tuās and the best slippers for prancing in.

I confess I hate the floor press.
My supplemental confession is I havenāt floor pressed since 1993, when I got my first weight bench and stopped needing to floor press.
My accessory confession is I have no idea why someone would choose to floor press if they can do some form of pressing on a bench.

I have. The squat rack is my turf anyway, pretty much no one else uses it.
I confess I planned to get a tough conditioning workout in this morning as prep for Christmas dinner but am now procrastinating it because of a poorly timed leg workout yesterday
Edit: Iām not sore anymore and digestion is sorted out, but now I just donāt feel like itā¦

The floor press resulted in one of the two times that jiujitsu saved my life.
There I was, floor pressing at the gym. The rack was on an elevated platform, which meant that, if you failed the rep, the plates didnāt hit the floor but, instead, the bar would hit your body first.
Or, in my case, my neck, since I REALLY borked the rep. At first, I tried yelling for help, but itās a funny thing: when a bar with 275lbs is on your neck, you donāt have much voice in you. And since everyone has headphones on in the gym, no one could hear me anyway.
As I started to blackout and think about how this was a dumb way to die, my instincts kicked in and I swept and pulled guard on the barbell. With the bar safely between my legs, I contemplated sinking in hooks and getting the rear naked choke, but decided to just get up and walk away with some bruises and a story.

My dog has been acting weird latelyāseems a little moody, not sleeping well, etc. Do you guys think it could be my E2? All my labs are normal, but still, you knowāE2. Thanks.

So do I.
When I was a kid me and my brothers threw in our paper route money and got a weight set. Those Weider DP cement filled plastic weights. But we didnāt have a bench yet, so we did everything from the floor.
Those weights would always split and leak sand/cement particles, and no matter what we did, but especially floor press, weād end up with those little bits in our damn eyes.

The dog is responding to your bad energy and doesnāt respect you as a leader due to the elevated e2.
If your labs are normal you should get rid of the other dogs that arenāt labs. Peek-a-doodles and most other small dogs are aromatase inducing anyways.

I hate it when someoneās response to my comment is just way, way better than the original.
Take my angry upvote and go, @SkyzykS.

Yeah, it was one of the best comebacks Iāve seen in a while. Now the bar is higher for all of us.
@SkyzykS has left us lying on the floor with 275 lbs. on our necks.

I was loading a stone of steel in my 7th strongman competiton, it was almost all the way to the top when it slid off my shirt and rolled down on top of me. Using an old jits warm up, I shoulder rolled backwards away from the stone and stuck the landing before being crushed.
Not sure if these stories are jiu-jitsu saving you or lifting nearly killing you! Good times!

The ultimate comedy is I quit combat sports because they were too dangerous.
