Super advanced stuff, I know. I predict it’ll be gone in 3 days with 0 effort on your part.

I also confess that tomorrow I am cooking pork dumplings, bacon wrapped potatoes, homemade 5 cheese Mac n cheese, buffalo wings, and spicy fried pickles. My kids will only eat the dumplings probably, so the rest of that is just for us, and my wife doesn’t eat a ton, so really it’s mostly for me.

I also confess that I now want to go out and get a prime rib too, because it’d be a perfect addition to all that.

I’m on the same page- The worst part about the pandemic for me is not having gym access

My once a month rate of red meat consumption unfortunately makes the math work against me there.

I find it impossible to do a leg press with decent ROM without buttwink. I think I could get 2" ROM leg presses with a thousand plates on it to fly with this excuse

Yea, there’s definitely a weird line between having a 4inch rom and getting the whole lower back off the machine. I just grab the handles pull myself down tight and do as much rom as I can before liftoff

I confess that a part of me is hoping that COVID lasts into the summer

My rationale: China won’t let me back in → I’ll get to stay at the us house my myself… with a barbell AND not have to do all the ancestor rituals

Confession 2: I’m a bit anxious because the guy I like hasn’t answered my text yet (he’s usually quite prompt). The anxiety isn’t because I “miss” him, it’s because I want him to explain a math problem I can’t figure out :joy:
@alex44938 yes, ppl do become more Asian over time… my mom literally said the other day that she wished I’d spend less time studying

I confess that plain Greek yogurt is a cheat code for healthier eating. It’s cheap (especially at Costco), you can do almost anything with it, and it doesn’t upset my finicky GI system. Apparently it’s the sugar and added fiber in the flavored Greek yogurts that bother me.

I also confess that my family Christmas is 1/2 and we’re doing pizza and wings. I’m gonna have to eat like a bird there because I have blood work and my follow up appointment for blood pressure on 1/5…

For the love of everything I sincerely hope this is 100% jest.

100% in jest- sarcasm doesn’t come across easily online

I confess I’m at the gym. In the parking lot, playing on my phone. I really don’t want to go in.

Jokes on me. They close in 10 minutes. Guess I’ll get a 10 minute workout in then finish at home.

In my Deep Water days, it got REAL bad. “Let’s just read ONE more cracked article on the toilet before we start this workout”

Quoted for accuracy. It’s so lonely in my home gym. No fancy machines, no hot girls in yoga pants, just me, and some weights.

We are having people over for lunch tomorrow. Some regular grilling. I am also roasting a chicken and plan to have none of it so when asked why I’m not having chicken, I can unashamedly steal from Pavel and say “It’s a weak bird”.

Then I’ll eat the leftovers the next day. My theory is that life is better with a dash of pro-wrestling added

You never know. China may still refuse entry to foreigners, or at least US citizens, when that time comes.

I was speaking with extreme sarcasm. China nearly denied my dad entry (some shady shit had to happen)
My dad is an exec and the success of his company depended on him returning. Luckily, he was able to get back, but I am pissed

Yeah, I know. All I’m saying is the situation in China is unpredictable when it comes to top down orders. They’re like changing policies every month.
