That’s what Queensland is like most of the year. ![]()
I get that. August is definitely the worst but anytime between May and November is pretty moist (that’s basically hurricane season).
Yer those sub tropical climates are gross when it’s rainy season. I like my dry heat and proper seasons down in Melbourne.
My gym has a prowler that I’ve been itching to use for easy conditioning but for some reason I’m afraid of looking like a moron if I were to use it for the first time.
As a frequent prowlerer, no matter how many times you use it, you look like a moron.
Especially true when the cops roll up on you at 0400 in a high school parking lot while you’re sans shirt at sub-freezing temps trying to control the dry heaves to explain what it is you’re doing.
This reminds me of that farmers carry challenge on here a couple years ago. Felt so silly carrying a trap bar around a walking track by a play ground ![]()

I accidently brewed earl grey instead of mint tea…
I’m too cheap to throw out the tea, so I’m drinking caffiene way to late
oh well
Do you go to bed at 4 PM?
I’m a VERY VERY slow metabolizer.
I’ve had trouble going to sleep after having 1/2 a cup of coffee at noon (I sleep at 9)
Dang. I could take a couple of Vivarin 30 minutes before bedtime and sleep fine.
Most of the people making posts in the “Beginner” and “Rate My Physique” threads are terrible at speaking English
Plot twist: it was decaf, too! ![]()
Can’t blame em. They probably got a call about a half-naked prowler near the school.

I don’t understand the obsession with Mike Mentzer by many in the bodybuilding community. Sure, he looked great (by BB standards), but so do many other BBers.
I confess that I lied and said that my friend got COVID to get out of a meeting
Uncrowned Mr Olympia due to Arnold being gifted a win. Drama, so of course it gets people who like drama.
I don’t know where else to write this, but my neighbor really weirds me out.
I live in a small two-story building, eight apartments in total. Last year this solo older guy moved in on my floor and started making people uncomfortable. He was hanging out in the hallway a lot, which earned him a yelling fest with the much younger guy who lives next door to him. One time I was lifting in my basement, and while I realize it’s a shared space, he decided to hang out there also – shirtless – while his laundry was running.
I get this sense whenever I see him that he’s looking at me. He not only locked himself out last summer but also lost his keys for about a week, which prompted my landlord to call his family. His weirdness tapered off until a couple months ago. Almost every single day he leaves his apartment door not cracked but all the way open so everyone on the first floor can easily see the interior. He sits on a chair right next to the door and sort of hangs out, though I try my best to not make eye contact with him whenever I enter or leave the building.
I don’t think he’s technically doing anything wrong. It’s just so weird to me. Maybe I’m being too dramatic. I greatly value privacy not only to shield my life from others but also so that other people’s privacy isn’t in my face like this. Maybe something he experienced in the past makes him want to leave his door open? I do not exaggerate when I say it’s an almost all-day affair though. It feels like he’s annexed the hallway as part of his apartment.
That would weird me out for sure.
Because his methods can be co-opted to support a particular training style. There aren’t too many successful and vocal advocates of said training style, so they have to put all their eggs in the Viator/Mentzer basket.
