I was browsing amazon and noticed that thereās a pair of 44lb adjustable dbs for ~250.
I confess Iām tempted to buy them
Nice of you to pose for him. Pecs are looking ripped, BTW.

I confess that Iām about ready to give up on eggs and find something to replace them. Part of it is that Iām not buying farm fresh style eggs, but Iāve noticed the shells are becoming increasingly brittle but the membrane beneath it becoming thicker and stronger. Just makes them a nightmare to work with. The tipping point this morning was when I tapped the egg on the counter, a perfect ring popped off the top of the egg and dumped out the majority of the white, which then slithered down the tiny space between the counter and stove. Nearly tossed the rest of the carton in that very moment.

Confession:
Bro science is referring to Mike OāHearn as a life time natural body builder. And this made me laugh. Lots. Especially when referencing his 2 Mr Universe wins in the same piece.
I think that has become the longest running joke in sports.
I know it always makes me laugh! 
Yeah - its kinda silly. Iām not even sure why anymore.
Any idea who makes a set of adjustable handles that are thick like the polyurethane dumbbells? I LOVE the thick grip on those but dayuummm are they expensive. My adjustable a have like a 25mm (guessing) grip and itās beyond annoying. Iād love to find something bigger
In regards to the peanut butter discussion, PB & sliced pickles makes a great sandwich.
Now time to go blast some DMX for todayās workout.

I confess I am like a kid on Christmas eve right now.
I got on my āBerserkerā t-shirt, minutes away from my cheat meal that is going to fuel my Building the Monolith day 3 workout at 0330 tomorrow.
The garage gym is already set up. Axle is pre-loaded to workset weight, because I donāt plan to warm-up for the presses. Itās on the floor, because Iāll be cleaning each rep. Buffalo bar is in the rack.
Breakfast#1 is already made: 2 whole eggs, 1 white, 3oz of grassfed beef and half an avocado. Iāll toast a waffle while I eat that, then eat the waffle with some sunbutter on it.
And once I crush the workout, I get the reward of a 12 hour shift. I have packed SO much food for it.
Somehow, I have to sleepā¦

I thought it was just me! There does seem to be some variance between brands.
I tap my eggs on the edge of the sink due to fear of the type of accident you experienced.
I confess I now want to know why this is happening, and I am going to google it to see if there is a bro science answer.

Sorry, but no ideas if those are made. Why not just buy those thick grip things you put on the handles though?
I did think about that. My handles are thinner than a barbell though, wonder if theyāll still work
The sink is a solid idea but would be a whole different PITA with the way my kitchen is laid out haha. If you find anything let me know, Iād be curious of the reasoning.
I have a pair of fat gripz. I honestly donāt know why I havenāt taken them out in so long - they can turn anything into an axle, theyāre amazing for elbow health, and they blow up the bis and tris like nothing else. They fit into my category of ālooks-like-a-gimmick-but-is-actually-pretty-awesomeā, along with ab wheels and pushup handles.

I purchased my first expert designed program. Grabbed one of John Meadows that he offered to members only. (I joined his site on a whim - donāt know if itās really worth it yet but havenāt made it through much of the content).
Plan is to start beginning of May after I am fully vaccinated.
