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

I confess it just makes me think that more over-achieving, status-conscious Asians are going to get snookered into overpaying for overpriced, overhyped Ivy League colleges, especially Harvard.

His real name is Warren Wilhelm jr, and he married a lesbian African American woman.

Things need to go quickly in the morning more often than not. But I also eat a very protein rich breakfast and I’m having coffee. The combination of those leads to an appointment that I simply cannot put off for too long and I am especially hesitant to do so because I need to ride my bike to work.

So my confession is: I am drinking coffee while I’m on the can.

I confess that being 37 is being excited when you finally have enough time on the weekend to test out your new meatsaw and vacuum sealer

But that means I now have MULTIPLE nights of beef chuck short ribs in my future…so that’s pretty goddamn amazing.

But not as amazing as my new wallet

Hell, here’s a REAL confession: I’m on some sort of Hulk Hogan binge again, and I just discovered this video on youtube that was, no joke, one of the BIGGEST influences on me growing up and wanting to be jacked.

Just got housing confirmation
I will not be homeless next year

Homeless is not politically correct. Does your grad school know that you are not PC? You are in danger of being cancelled.

Where will you not be unhoused?

:joy:

let’s just say that they took me even though I submitted a blank pdf in lieu of a ā€œdiversity statementā€

I confess I feel like a bad arse.

I was doing my workout this morning and there was a personal trainer there with his client. The client was complaining about how tired he was. Trainer pointed to me and said: ā€œThat little girl lifts twice as much as youā€

Charles Poliquin would love you. :+1:

ā€œSomewhere in China a little girl is warming up with your max.ā€.

I’m pretty sure thats the quote and who its from.

Great quote.

My 17 year old son has started lifting. We’re 2500 miles away from each other. He fancies himself a STEAM kid, but he’s really a Humanities kid, just doesn’t know it. I know HS kids, all into peptides and SARMS. I cautioned him.

ā€œDad, I’m not even sure about Creatine, so don’t sweat it.ā€

Immediately went on Amazon and ordered him creatine and whey.

I’m pretty sure he is squatting the bar on a Smith machine and waking up sore, benching the bar, waking up sore. He’s got a couple of buddies he lifts with, so he’s got a tribe.

I am pretty sure there is a girl in his gym warming up with his max.

I am so proud of him!

I am SO excited for you and for him.

Can I gift either of you a copy of Super Squats and Powerlifting Basics Texas Style? Having either one of those books at that age would have been awesome.

I am SO excited for us!

He’s lifting with his Bros, doing a Bro Split. It’s awesome because he knows I lift, knows I am in good shape, and that gives me some credibility with him.

But, it’s all about the Bros bro, lol.

One kid, a cousin by marriage, is skinny AF, but hard core - gives my son the one more rep deal. That kid is not blessed with academic skills, but is athletic. My son is the opposite - a science nerd (said with nothing but love).

Creatine and whey showed up today, had the conversation again with him tonight - he’s still not sold on creatine. Takes two beers to a party, dumps one out, brings the other one home. Meantime, I’m like ā€œdrink the creatine bro!ā€

As to the offer, I might take you up on that. Right now, it’s like a couple of monkeys trying to hump a football. I’ll see him (and my daughter) in eight days, but who is counting?

Conversation today was science based - TDEE and macros. Sounds stupid of me, but we used go to the range and he was more interested in the Venturi effect than actually hitting a golf ball. It would take us two hours to hit a bucket of balls - all about the physics.

I figured if I could reduce it to science, he might get a little more interested.

I should mention, my daughter is nineteen, twenty in two months, and she lifts - sort of. She wants to squat, bench, deadlift, but is intimidated. She is a big girl (5’9, 170), very strong, would be a great powerlifter. Very headstrong. Hope to get her powerlifting when I see her.

I’ll do some Google Fu and see what might be best. Appreciate the offer!
