Whatever PEDs he’s taking don’t seem to work for building muscle ig

A gymnast? These guys squat/deadlift absurd amounts relative to their BW when they decide to hit the weights…

Was it sumo?
Even conventional is an oddball of a lift in that someone can look so unmuscular but still pull a near crazy amount. Hinge movements in general seem to be like that. Like if you tell me someone deadlifts 500 x 3, he can be a built dude or stick thin. Same with a 315 power clean. It can be some jacked guy muscling it up, or some thin Oly lifter, or some chubby 230lbs high school football player. And sumo is just nuts with this on a whippy bar and with good leverages.
Is it just explosive hamstrings and glutes? I have no clue, because I’ve seen people who can deadlift like 315 x 20/ 500 x 1 and they sometimes don’t look like they lift besides some forearm and trap development.

Confession: Didn’t even know who was playing in the Super Bowl until today. Also didn’t watch a second of it. Seems like a waste of 4 hours on a Sunday. Very few pro sports garner my interest.

Great analysis, probably right on point here. It was conventional.
I will confront the marathon dude if I see him at the gym again. To be continued…

Ask how much he squats if he seems approachable/not busy. A lot of these smaller guys with big pulls and amazing leverages have squats that are so weak compared to their pulls. If his squat is also strong, though, then he could just be a strong dude and/or have ultra-explosive hips and legs.

Confession: I was actually impressed with the dietitian i had to meet with today as part of my company’s program for me to get free glucose test strips.
It’s on an app called Vida and to continue to get the benefit I have to meet with her at least once a month. I was worried because usually these apps don’t get the best people.
Pros:
- No mention of my weight after understanding my muscular build
- Didn’t push crackpot nutrition (as i have seen “dietitians” do on social media)
- Didn’t force extra meetings
- Actually looks like she adheres to her own diet advice.
Cons:
Likely not going to like how I approach nutrition with the pulse feast method in the transformation thread. We’ll see.

I confess that 've been busy as fuck because I found out that Markdown, Open AI and Kanban Boards LITERALLY give you superpowers. I was fighting to implement AI and Kanban boards for my business stuff and getting fucking major resistance because I’m too NOOB when it comes to tech to describe all this in visuals so I had to go find a software that does it for me and after finding a community plugin for Obsidian and sourcing for a more simplified (visually and technically simplified) version that my fucking tech dude who taught me how to use Obsidian, which I don’t really like using other than for some minor stuff, didn’t even know about with multiple platform integrations, my mind got completely blown. Like utterly, completely BOOM!

Markdown is awesome, especially for my business when I have to produce a shitload of technical documentation. I use Open AI, mostly as a starting point for the intro BS generator.
I confess that, having done three BBB workouts in a row this week, I’m having a pre-bed protein smoothie. All of this is feeling like a mistake right now.

I love sandwiches: gyros, subs, burgers, cheesesteaks, breakfast sandwiches
Literally anything that can be stuffed with a crapload of meat then slathered in ketchup, mayo, or some other kind of sauce.
Like this post if you love sandwiches too.

Gyros can be amazing. Or terrible.
To avoid the disappointment of experiencing a terrible gyro:
If they don’t have the rotisserie thing with the amazing mystery meat (i know, i know) don’t order a gyro.
That place is using frozen pressed patties and is horrible.

You need to include tacos and burritos in that list.
And you can’t just say “subs”. What about hoagies? I mean heroes? I mean grinders?
And what’s a sloppy joe? Is that like a maid rite?
It’s honestly pretty amazing how each culture seemed to come up with a meat between grain solution. To say nothing of meat pies.

When I was trying to find my way around the Hampton Roads area I ran across a glowing sign that told me I hit the spot.
It said “Fresh Baked Hoagies!”.
And that became my place to go. They made real Italian and Steak hoagies.

Whenever someone asks if I want a slice of pie, I can’t help myself when I respond with “shepherds, or pot?”.

Put enough cool whip on it and it all tastes the same.

Have you ever experienced fresh baked bread?
It’s phenominal. There’s really nothing else like it.
The sammiches you make with it are even better.
