Confession;
I have taken to cooking spinach and cheese egg muffins for breakfast. They are “okay”. It is as simple as it sounds.
Wilt some spinach over hot water.
Add to beaten eggs with grated cheese in it.
Pour into fairy cake backing tray.

Cook on medium heat for 20mins.

2 more confessions;
1 After doing this for the first time I started to think of other cheeses to use. Like a nice goats cheese.
2 I’m running out of ways to make my eggs palatable. I get sick thinking about scrambled, fried or boiled egg.

Some Asian ideas:

Make steamed eggs with a dash of soy sauce and scallion oil on top

Scrambled eggs with tomato 番茄炒蛋 (Google the Chinese name)

There’s a dude at the gym. Used two plates on the bench as a warmup, worked up to 4 plates for a pretty smooth looking set of 5, then proceeds to do sets of 10 db overhead press with 110lb dbs…

Currently Curling the 50s

It is insane how easy it is to come of with statements describing bad behaviour compared to coming up with statements describing good behaviour

I confess I don’t quite understand why it is that I can run 5/3/1 and Deep Water just fine but for some reason any other percentage based programs (Josh Bryant or Chad Wesley Smith) are a total no-sale for me.

There’s a guy at my gym who benches the same and curls the 100’s. Mind blowing. Decent form too

And he’s probably respecting the squat rack…

Pretty sure he starts warming up with 225 on squats. He’s about 5’ even. Looks like a sheet of plywood sideways walking around

By the looks of the tree stumps attached to his torso, I think the guy at my gym does that

@wanna_be there’s a girl in the gym right now. Built AF and repping out sets of 10pullups… that back…

well sure, when your rep range to parallel is less than 8”, you’re gonna squat a lot.

Bryant and Juggernaut seem to really push the numbers aggressively and Use progressive overload to Drive progress.

5/3/1 and Deep Water seem to just let you work for awhile so you can make some gains. Then that solid work and 3-6 weeks of gains allows you to overload the weights and show the progress.

Like if 70% of your max for “X” workload is effective, you can just do that for awhile and get results. You don’t need to drive it to 72.5% then 75% and 77.5% to make gains.

Trying to work out where to find an hour to watch this:

My current plan is to wake up at 3AM on Friday - I have a few days to come up with a better plan.

3 times in the last month people have told me “A vegan diet is healthier than an omnivorous diet”. Well I paraphrase. But still.

It took my until the third time of being told this to ask - but today I got it in. “How is eating a tuna steak going to make a vegan diet any less healthy?”

In the spirit of the confessional thread:
Confession - it worries me that people do not ask the simple question themselves.
