Five penalties for the Argies in seven games . :face_vomiting:

I confess that my order of Surge showing up made me happier than it should have.

Pro tip: 4 bags fits near perfectly into an empty 5lb protein jug.

Lowering the average standard to lift yourself up… I like it

Humans naturally gravitate to comfort. This is fine when life in general is tough. But with modern technology there is now excess comfort and few people take the initiative to intentionally seek discomfort. I have two kids, so hopefully I can impart some good habits.

On a separate note, I spilled protein + mass gainer powder (maltodextrin) on the floor but I couldn’t be bothered to clean it up. Wife is in China. This shit needs to be scrubbed. Ran the robot vac with AI shit and the mess was gone. I have no fucking idea how it managed to clean it up. Seriously. The bot does not provide ample pressure due to it’s lack of weight for any scrubbing power. I use it with the vac on the lowest setting so it mops up the tiny dust particles that the vacuum can’t pick up at the lowest setting. I don’t trust the filter and sealing enough to turn up the suction. But for this: It’s not possible lol. I think the fucker’s become sentient, and I don’t know it yet.

Tell your dude ^^ that the robot vac is your pet, and see if he can speak to it, find out the secret to the clean up.

Dude @cstan097 and @garagerocker13 came back, best Christmas present ever.

I am once again finding myself oddly proud of where I live. The entire state is pretty much shut down, as was also the case only a week ago. That one lasted for like 4-5 days - no school (even colleges), EVERY interstate and highway closed, etc.

Right now we’ve got wind chills surpassing -40* F. Last night my buddy and his brother had to shovel their way through 5’ high snow drifts every so often on their ~30 mile drive home on unplowed roads.

Two confessions

  1. I have not done any lower body work all week

  2. It seems that California tax payers will be subsidising the gifts I give to my family for the next 5 years. Advisor’s gift to me this year was to tell me that I have a >95% chance of making it into UCSD

It’s either that, or paying $800k to house a single homeless person… so come on in!

I confess that I got a amazon gift card from my folks for Christmas that I am fairly certain is going to be used primarily for buying copies of ā€œSuper Squatsā€ for kids online.

I feel like that really captures the Christmas spirit.

In that regard, if someone is game for a Santa style ā€œMilk and Cookiesā€ diet Super Squats run, that will ABSOLUTELY be worth the price of me buying them a copy of the book, so long as they log the results.

I am excited I got Olympic rings for Christmas.

Confession: I am also scared at how weak they will quickly show me to be.

I was humbled the first time I tried to do dips on rings. Muscle ups were fun to mess around with.

Good luck!

I confess to wondering if my kid’s sport coach would appreciate the irony of the sheer degree of fitness I would display by bludgeoning them to death with a 45lb plate the next time they use physical exercise as a form of punishment.

That’s exactly how you raise a generation of humans that avoids exercise because they don’t want to punish themselves.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you state this right now and I just read the same thought from Dan John in the Easy Strength Omnibook.

The first time I had to ā€œGrab Some Tileā€ was a surreal, almost exciting moment. Like living something from a movie.
