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

Youtube decided that because I watch fitness content and Russian content, I’m the target audience for Russian videos about hormones and various hormone related issues, some of them on nsfw topics.

I confess that I have an easier time understanding the videos than I would like to admit.

We’re setting up for a 1 year old birthday party at present, we went shopping last night and got the party bag fillers, we bought the above squishy sausage dog, as a potential filler for 1 little girl who’s coming who’s in that awkward age of buying gifts for in-between toddler and little girl.

I confess, that after we’d finished my wife declared that we already had her bag covered and this was leftover, I opened it, and I love this thing way more than any grown man has any right to.

I confess I fairly recently discovered my rate of recovery post-workout, determining my preferences re intensity and/or volume for best output. It only took 30 years to realize how to be your own coach. I’m a strong proponent of feel in terms of when, what or how to train. It seems to me, two days a week going balls to the wall in terms of volume meets intensity is the golden rule, as well as shifting/varying modalities regularly.

That said, I recognize @davemccright with a high volume/frequency preference scoring extraordinary results! All in all, each and every one needs to find their own holy grail in terms of response to training, and not blindly go into the norm/dogma!

Wow… not sure what the deal is. Obviously newer people joining must not notice time stamps on threads. Ive seen several threads over a decade old being committed on. Not a big deal just find it amusing since most posters on the origional threads are long gone.

I confess I’ve been half assing it thru first cycle of Dan John’s easy strength. Finally got around to buying the ebook, and after perusing through various sections of this 477page monster so far, it definitely helps tie it all together. Plus more Dan John humour is always a good thing.

I confess I felt old tonight when a new song started playing on Spotify in the background, and my first instinct on hearing the intro was to open the running dishwasher to make sure it wasn’t broken. Then the drums came in and I realized what was happening.

This the song, in case anyone wondered. I’ve gotten really into their music now, so . . . silver lining?

Haha brilliant, saw them live a few years back (support act for Muse - who were awesome), I quite like them. I always enjoy the fact that there is only 2 of them, a bass guitar and drums, what they can do with those limits is still pretty awesome.

One of my personal favourites.

The Chatgpt post are getting old to me real quick. I swear guys use it to try to make themselves look more knowledgeable.
