Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

Lifting isn’t my top priority, but it still makes me feel really shitty when I’m getting fatter (and weaker) and I don’t know what the fuck is going on

I spent nearly 2hrs trying to figure out a basic proof. so It’s not like I’m killing it in the academics department either

So, you answered your own question. It’s not a priority, so stop obsessing over it. Set a smaller, more realistic goal, and work towards that.
This is a prime example of… your ass can’t ride two horses.

I have a correction for myself. A TANNED and JOOCY beached whale.

I confess that I am a big fan of homespun wisdom and sayings. Like, “I could eat the north end of a south-bound polecat.”

I confess that I am at a work function where we were made to pay $5 a day “to cover beverages”

I am about 14 coke zeros deep now.

I WILL get my money’s worth…

Related to the above.

There are free fountain drinks at the house. I’ve been guzzling soda water like a fish.
I also recently discovered what is labeled as minute maid 5 calorie lemonade

Turns out it’s pretty magical if you mix it with the soda water. I’ve been having ~1.5L of that every day

Considering that a 12oz can of soda water sells for a dollar at my school, I’m downing ~ $5-6 worth of beverages every day

Confession: I’m not sure if the lemonade is actually light lemonade (I’ve never had light lemonade before). I’ve asked the kitchen staff and they say it is, but a part of me is skeptical I will be very very very pissed if it turns out that I’ve been drinking full sugar lemonade.

If the beached whale was in the shape of a curled bicep, perhaps
EDIT:


That you bro?

I confess I saw this title and was waiting for the Five Finger Death Punch reference for WAY too long.

On a related note, go check out FFDP’s new music video…wholly poignant for 2022. “Welcome to the Circus” by them and “Zombified” by Falling in Reverse are way too accurate.

Confession:
I really wanted to tell the teenagers at the gym today how to lift. They were using a hammer strength type lat pulldown with terrible form and enough weight to pull this skinny kid up in the seat every rep. I held my tongue, but man, I wish the gym would hold a good techniques class (though I doubt many of the trainers at Crunch actually know the mechanics well).

Your comments would have fallen on selectively deaf ears, my friend.

I had a 5FDP phase while I was enlisted (because every enlisted person does) then fell out of it pretty hard. Will look into the new video though!

Anybody else tired of @anna_5588 body weight/strength issues?

Eat more, lift heavier.

Solved.
