Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

Intriguing. I’ll have to try that.

That sounds horrible!

@hardartery oh yeah!! also tried the one with pineapple chucks. That one was okay!

I need friends like yours.

No one EVER brings me ribs. They just tell me all about how good they were.

“Oh, you should have been there, you’d have loved them…”.

Yeah. You’re right. I would have.

Even 2 of my own brothers do this. And they both cook them themselves. <–That’s how I know it’s a conspiracy, not coincidence.
:joy:

These family friends have done more for my family than my dad…

Ribs. They bring them.

My one friend from Tennessee, his brother ships him a care package from the best ribs joint in the whole state every year for his birthday.

He let me try them once. They were amazing.

My brothers tell me about how good they Were.

You might have unearthed a previously unexplored resentment of mine.

Your brothers are just looking out for your cholesterol. LOL

I never understand why you want to confess to doing the things that help you reach your goals…

For a moment, I nearly reconsidered my stance on cottage cheese as a vile abomination. Then I read this and I was reminded how much I hate the stuff.

Because anorexia is an obssesive-compulsive disorder. The eating or not eating and over-exercising are compulsive. Thoughts around these and related things (e.g. caloric count) are obsessive.

Might sound like a dick, dont care at the moment.
Not sure how someone can say they have lifted on and off for a decade and have no real results. Nor have a basic grasp of the basic to be blunt.

either

  1. they have put in zero effort into doing anything to actively achieve any type of goals. Be it the necessary work needed directly in the gym or diet.Not to mention the secondary effort to at least educate themselves to at least to give themselves a idea to help themselves.
  2. They have zero potential and might reconsider a new hobby.

I actually know what you’re talking about this time!

dont be so sure…

Spent Saturday-Monday working in yard, installing a 400sf curtain drain, hauled 20cy of rock and got rid of 18cy of clay. Ended today by moving a (very large and heavy) chicken coop solo using (2) 4x4s. After all of it was done, wife asks me to grill burgers. I’m out there staring at a bbq, super lightheaded thinking I’m gonna pass out. When it came time to flip them, I bare hand grab four burgers and flip them. 30 seconds later I had a couple blisters on my thumb.

Only good news is I just jumped on the scale and I hit a new low, after having dinner in my belly.

I’m here to confess that I’m extremely tempted to comment on my social media friend’s lifting video for the second time, thanks to those facebook memories things that dig up stuff from years past.

It was a bullshit squat if there ever was one, but my sense of social propriety is what’s keeping me from explaining this inescapable truth in detail to everyone who might see his post on our mutual social media. I wish that people who’ve never touched a barbell could understand my distaste for how high that squat was, let alone the need for three “spotters”, a cameraman and an entire cheerleading section, all for a squat that was complete bullshit.

You need to be reasonably strong to do a bullshit squat with that much weight, so why not do whatever your reasonably strong legit squat is, then move ahead from there?

How much weight? Do tell…

This went out the window when the video was posted. You can’t let this bullshit be celebrated on social media.
