That is an unwritten confession of most members 
Either that or scrolling to procrastinate the next nasty set

Done it. And kicked ass. So much so that I should add some weight to the bar (doing a complex thingy). But Iām not keen on making it harder. So:
Confession - this is me wincing out of adding weight to the bar for Fridays session. This work out in nasty enough. If I complet it in under 3 mins again I will add weight though.

You could make it yuppy by adding truffle oil and saffron somehow.

OMG truffle oil is ABSOLUTELY the answer. Iāve never even had it and I know it to be true, haha. Maybe a truffle oil infused mayonnaise

My mum bought a bottle once thinking it was āgood tasteā It was the worst thing Iād ever put into a dish- and I put less than 1 tsp
Iād actually be curious to try this. Maybe one abomination actually makes the other less of an abomination
Fun fact: it doesnāt.
Truffle can work really well with mushrooms but not much else in my experience.
Works well with french fries too.

That can be overpowering.
I had some stuff made really badly once using it and the only thing you could taste was truffle and mega-way too much salt.

Truffle oil french fries have been a thing at some of the places Iāve been. No idea if theyāre any good though.

Respectfully disagree. I had some made by some hotshot chef (he ran a place called Launceston Place at the time, but I canāt remember his name). Iād rather have had McDonaldās.
Maybe it has to be done exactly right. There is local place I like called Grey Bellyās (āGrey Bellyā is term for an old surfer) that serves a sandwich of the same name with like a pound of meat on it and truffle oil garlic fires on the side. Almost beats steak.
WHat meat?
I mean, the dude had 2 Michelin stars at the time so someone was obviously enjoying his food, just not me.
I used to have a bottle of truffle oil that cost a ludicrous amount for using in mushroom pasta or risotto, and I enjoyed that if used right. Wouldnāt pay for it again though.
He just really wants the reader to know heās not for slow motion training. Itās been a while, but was there any other content in the book? Legitimately thatās all I can remember from it.
He basically spends 3 out of every 4 sentences talking about how everyone else is stupid and weak, then uses the 4th sentence to let the reader know that, in the next paragraph, heāll talk about how stupid and weak everyone else.
Occasionally he talks about how he trains, but usually just to demonstrate how everyone else is training so much more stupider and weaker than he is.
With me being such a Paul Kelso fan, it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Hell, even Jamie Lewis is able to maintain a good signal to noise ratio while crapping on others. This is just obnoxious. I find myself skimming so much of the book that itās not worth reading. I was actually catching myself, at one point, ONLY reading the stuff that Brooks was quoting from OTHER writers, because it was a breath of fresh air.

Truffles are Godās own food. I love just about anything with truffle in it - truffle oil, truffle pesto, truffle butter, truffle honey, truffle saltā¦
If I was restricted to just one condiment for the rest of my life, truffle would be my choice.
FRESH truffles are Godās food
Morrels are a close second
Pretty muchā¦ along with a few other things.
