The struggle is real. My mom, sisters, and nieces will painstakingly research and select hair styles and colors, show pics to the hairdressers, and come out looking completely different than they should’ve AND poorer.

This lady is hit or miss. She cut great last time, but the time before it was even worse than today’s. I have to wonder if she drinks. If she does I understand,. I just need to know if she cuts hair better drunk or sober.
The old barber always did.better after a few drinks

Like I said… its one thing in being confortable in your own skin and except your own imperfections. I get the notion of having unattainable social established body images can be destruction for many. Which In turn cause issues on a psychological level…
But damn… where’s the middle ground?

I don’t think he’s trying to test or screw with me. Our typical meetings go like this:
- Greetings and me complaining about my maths grade
- Him convincing me about why econ grad school is a bad idea
- Talk about current events-> covid rant
- Cat does something weird → talk about cats
- Yak about Asian culture
- Actual research stuff (20-30min of a 1hr meeting, most of which could be communicated through email)
Seriously yes! They literally have Leica cameras in them and are freaking fast

I confess that I am an idiot. In 5/3/1 week and had just completed the 1+ set and was surprised and happy with how well that went. Until I realized that I had forgotten to ad the extra plates for last set.
Doh’

Spicy stuff+ fruit = delicious
Have you tried cayenne with watermelon?
It could be worse… I’ve done full sets on several occasions where I had miss loaded a single side from 5 to 10lbs.

I confess that I’ve had to limit my time on here due to work giving me the ol’ razzle dazzle lately and I feel bad that I can’t keep up with people that have encouraged me. It’s a compliment to everyone here because I could scroll all day between the ass-kicking logs and crash courses on philosophy.
I also confess that drastically increasing my workload, training load, and food has somehow given me more time for the rest of my life because I’ve gotten much more efficient. It’s also caused almost a manic episode so far this week where I have some damn confidence and am much happier than usual. Apparently now it’s up to me to keep self-doubt from convincing me I can’t sustain this.

Yeah, it could. This way I got an extra heavy set in, which is never bad.

One of the phones I’m using is a Xiaomi which cost me $100 USD. It’s better than my fucking $800+ Samsung Galaxy. I bought it because I had to leave a phone at the repair center for a couple of days and they didn’t give me a temporary phone. I just picked up the first cheap one I saw on the shelf at a local store since I only needed it while my phone was being repaired.
Then I realized it had a bloody video camera that can capture videos in 4K while I was fucking around with it lol. But you can’t get quality shots without using a mount of some kind or a gimbal. But it’s a fucking $100 phone. I tried using it to film some extra hand held B roll footage in 1080p during a project I was doing at the time and my editor couldn’t tell the difference between them and those shot on a professional camera. He just got upset because he thought I *color graded these shots prior to editing.
*To put it simply, we normally shoot with “flat” colors so the editor has an easier job like being able to color grade everything consistently without changing the settings for each single shot too much. Saves us a lot of time and money.

Confession I have long laughed at people that do the dead lift twerk.
Today I saw a guy deadlift well over my 1rep max. Many times, whilst doing a Miley Cyrus impression. Tounge and all.
I shall laugh no more.
I confess I have no idea what a deadlift twerk is And im scared to google.
Ha no its harmless enough.
Its where people drop their hips to start the lift and then don’t.
And again, and again, and again…
Its nothing sinister. I’ve just always been a bit do or don’t. It’s fine. But don’t dance. But fair play. They guys a touch stronger than me. So I’ll not be so judgy any more.
Funny you should have a typo with “Andy” in it, because Andy Bolton deadlift twerked 1008 lbs a while back…

Having tried a deadlift suit a number of times, I definitely understand the twerk: you’re trying to find a way to not slice valuable parts of your anatomy in half.
My meadhead confession is that, after 15 years of eating cottage cheese, I JUST discovered yesterday that you can heat it up and it’s delicious. I just always thought of it as a cold food…

People have made an issue out of that lol?
I do it to “load”/activate my hamstrings and pull the slack out of the bar if I don’t get the really stiff one.
I do agree that some fellows do it without this mind and are simply mimicking what they see on YouTube.
I can agree with @carlbm in that I’ve seen people doing aggressive humping before cat-backing a 185 lb sumo deadlift.
