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

[anna_5588]

I confess I had a kilo of grapes yesterday and only stopped bc mum came home and saw that the 1.5kilo box was mostly empty

That stuff is addictive AF.
I can stop eating candy, pastries, ice cream etc, but put me in front of fruit? No chance

[EmilyQ]

Grapes. Yeah. Big trouble.

but put me in front of fruit? No chance

Oh, THE BEST TREAT I have ever had was when a woman brought out a tray of frozen fruit for us after a brutal summer day of tree work.

Grapes, orange slices, strawberry slices, blueberries, etc.
It was Amazing.

Until a few years ago I’d do frozen pineapple chunks as a 3:00pm pick me up at work in the summers.

Any time I see a post on facebook that has some kind of “streetwise” advice followed by Read That Again, I block that profile.

Cuz no, I will never read that again.

[EmilyQ]

Shout out to the sidewalks for keeping me off the streets.

[SkyzykS]

…

Blocked. .

Kidding of course.

I confess I miss the outlier members posting here on Tnation. They brought more craziness to the site, making up for a fun read, and you never knew what to expect. Unf, they all got blocked for one reason or another. Thinking about @planethealh or @ectomezo to name a few. Any other honorable mentions?

To this day, I keep waiting for this kid to come back. I was really rooting for him.

Training 7 Years with Minimal Results

Hi, I’m 23 and been training since 16 and I have not seen many results. I also got a DEXA scan done recently and it showed 31% body fat. The thing is that I feel for any healthy male even with a garbage program and average diet they could make more progress than I did in 7 years. My stats: Height: 6’0" Weight: 179 lbs Body fat % (DXA confirmed 2x in last 6 months): 31% body fat Dumbbell Shoulder press: Max 50 lbs dumbbell x 12 Dumbbell bench press: Max 75 lbs dumbbell x 5 The pics incl…

Guy was eating cool whip for breakfast and couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t get results

The Predator Program

I’ve come up with what I have dubbed The Predator Program. I’ll be starting the program soon and wanted to get some feedback on what people thought. Here’s the quick version… It’s all all meat diet based on gorging one day then fasting two and workouts that consist of 3 sets of balls-to-the-wall breathing sets. I dabbled with the program on test run for two weeks with great results. Lately I’ve been using the exercise methodology but not the diets. When I do breathing sets of squats I’m usuall…

The predator program. Not to be confused with the Apex Predator Diet by Jamie Lewis: this is even more insane.

Thoughts on Lifting and Bodybuilding

[image] Another forum member, Confusion, suggested I do an icebreaker post. I was inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger to get into the gym. Like most teenagers it was all about getting laid. Muscles help. A few years on, I think adding another zero on to the end of your annual income will do just as well. I am more of a keyboard warrior than an expert. My only particular qualification is that I’ve gotten it very wrong for many years. In the last year and a half I’ve started making progress, and …

Planet Health was cool. I liked his style of communication. He taught me a lot.

Enjoy

There have been some great ones!

The early 2000’s- 2010’s were completely nuts. All kinds of crazy characters.

[jshaving]

I think I joined the site in 2017 and I miss the posters and threads from back then. It was a fun time for me as a teenager and new lifter.

I always liked the conversations about getting wider .

Going to Do Clavicle Lengthening

I have tried everything, have worked out but nothing changes. The muscle comes but the shoulder width stays the same because it’s a skeletal issue. I am going to be undergoing clavicle lengthening with Dr Leif Rogers in California since I cannot find a limb lengthening doctor who preforms it. I hope to do it and give a rundown just incase anybody else wants to do it and know if it’s worth it or not, which I do not recommend until they have done research about it. The process basically works by…

[ChickenLittle]

Oh no! Not the dreaded clavicle lengthening.

[simo74]

Better than the Clown Dick episode I guess

[pettersson]

I confess I participated in a BodyPump group training session yesterday. A humbling experience that I dare any gym rat to try. The intensity is extreme and if performed in good form you really need sufficient base conditioning - and to leave the ego at the door. An interesting reflection is that the heavier your bodyweight - The more you need to put an effort into it. On the second leg excercise I went for bodyweight only. Needless to say I was the heaviest participant.

You could critizise BodyPump on a number of things, but it is what it is, and that’s what your getting yourself into. My muscles are in a state of shock due to the “new” stimulus. Not so much DOMS though, but I’m kind of swollen all over because of inflammation (or hopefully a testosterone spike)! Challenge yourself by trying a session! It will get your attention for sure!

I confess that I like straying into the pharma section to read about all the guys who are cycling steroids and call it TRT.

I confess I joined a HotWorx gym (infrared sauna workouts) and am really enjoying doing a lot of yoga in the heat.

Well there’s a blast from the past. What compels you to summon him?

I get upset reading these topics. Primarily because it’s these dudes that have given TRT the reputation it has. People call TRT cheating, as though a diabetic receiving insulin is also “cheating”.

He just bought a HOT WORX location in the Houston area.
