I confess. Now that a lot of my workouts are in my garage….

I prefer getting a sesh in sans bra.

Free thee ta-tas

The biggest plus to my home gym usage was shirtless flip flop workouts. The comfort is real

I confess that every time I see the word ā€œminimalistā€ I automatically assume that whatever follows will be total bullshit.

I’ve been lifting weights since 1988 and the one absolute truth burned into my soul is The Wisdom Of Arnold:
ā€œIf something is good, more must be better.ā€

Minimalist? RPE of 8? 99.23% of 1RM? Yes, yes.

Add weight to the bar. Do one more rep.

Repackaged. They did a swab thing and apparently it triggered some alarm

I went to New Orleans with some friends before Covid, the two women I was traveling with got stopped and had to try to put the ground coffee (that is almost exclusively available in NO, Coffee and Chicory or something) through the bomb detector because idiots. After like 30 minutes of rounds of people coming and trying to get the bomb scanner person to come and use the machine a supervisor came over looked at the two of them and looked at the coffee and dismissed the situation. The TSA is a massive bundle of incompetence.

The past two mornings I’ve added a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein to my coffee. Not sure why I didn’t think of this sooner. Still prefer a regular old cup of coffee to anything else, but this is a delightful way to get some extra protein and calories in.

Concur, but only because they are made up of humans.

I’d agree that’s the primary point of pretty much all incompetence but they also came from nowhere to having an absolutely massive mandate in a relatively short amount of time, while working in a political (everywhere is, the TSA’s more so) space. Keeping organizations running smoothly is hard in the easiest scenarios, their’s certainly isn’t close to that.

BRRRRRRRRAAAAAP!

Big red flag. Why would you do that?

Article 6, subsection 2, …

There’s a case study for your behavioral stuff.

The TSA is a very attractive place to work. Not because of an innate desire to help or keep people safe, but simply because you don’t have to think to be right. You just have to follow the rules.

Bc I’d used half the tub and the original tub is too high to put in suitcase. I put it in a ziplock bag for convenience

Yes. I’ve read a couple of papers on this actually and if I get the chance, will turn a question related to this into a project someday

Check a bag with your protein powder - would never have been an issue.

Yeah, that was dumb of me

I just buy protein powder when I arrive. Almost anywhere else it these days.

Or some of those pre-mixed protein drinks.
