If You HAD To "Pick Just One"

I’m surprised people haven’t said testosterone.

Every few months I pick one up. Kind of drives my wife crazy, because she knows how good they are in theory… neither her nor my kids like the texture of red meat. Twice this year I’ve cooked them on random week days for lunch. Meanwhile, I’m serving up lunchables or sandwiches for rest of family.

I would say that classes beyond supplement into the realm of medicine. And if we’re going to go THAT realm, I feel like the polio vaccine trumps testosterone, haha.

I was suggesting for supplemental purposes, beyond therapeutic benefits. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Oh, I understand, but it’s still A medicine vs a supplement, is what I am saying. How it’s used is up to the user, but what it is, that can be a bit more objective.

Tomahawks aren’t really a thing in Canada. Steak is so wonderful I’m not going to seriously criticize it. I think eating red meat is healthy. I’d buy it on a business account, plus Tomahawk satisfies those Flintstones fetishes. But if I’m buying, I’m okay with T-bones. The best people don’t need to be flashy… even Disco Stu don’t advertise. (And pigs are magical animals).

I’m a big fan of the strip. I know rib eye is the go-to, but I really like the texture/firmness of the strip.

They’re all strong man logs!

Nah, i meant more like a good chunk of oak or cherry. Around 16-18" in diameter, maybe 4-5 feet long. Just a big pain in the butt you can squat, toss, walk, etc.

Overhead would take some serious finesse!

Great topic!

One piece equipment: Gymnast rings. I can do pull ups, rows, ring dips, push ups, ab fall outs, inverted shrugs, and hanging leg raises. No other equipment that I have had over the years covers so many bases, and adds the element of stability on everything.

One piece of food: I won’t pick a “dish” made of many foods, but a single food. Thinking between eggs, peanut butter, beef, milk, and tuna. I would probably go with eggs because they are so versatile even as a standalone (hard boiled, fried, scrambled, etc…).

One training book: Probably would have to be 531 Forever. The number of templates and training philosophy would be tough to beat. I do love Pavel, Dan John, and Tactical Barbell stuff as well.

Wonder how many calories you burn turning swords into ploughshares?

Quite a few, I imagine. Going with my minimalist theme, I almost went with 12 lb. sledge hammer, or splitting maul.

I got my son a 6 lb.'r a few years ago. Its his favorite tool to go outside and swing, throw, smack stuff with and generally blow off steam with.

You got it all wrong: you’re thinking of beef bone in short ribs, affectionately referred to as “Dino Ribs”

And honestly, it was HARD for me not to pick these as my one food, haha. I’ll be making them for the 4th.

@antiquity LOVE the rings idea! You can’t argue with results: I think most dudes would be more than satisfied to look like an olympic male gymnast.

So different? Flintstones is Flintstones. But marbled meat is pretty sweet.

Definitely. Comes from different parts of the cow, and the beef bone in chuck short rib is much fattier…and quite awesome as a result, haha.

I had some America Wagyu ones that were life changing

Theres a “before and after”! Haha

I think you make a big mistake
To live your life so free of steak
To max your joy and min your grief
You’re better banqueting on beef

I’m not the type who brags and boasts
But I should sing a song to roasts
I would eat sirloin as a main
I would eat ribeye on a plane

Although those steaks might be quite high
Good thing that I’m a mellow guy
I’d rather just get swole, than scoff

If you don’t like strong enough (stroganoff) passwords, you probably also scratch Russians and find tartare.

Good choice on the food, eggs.

Eggs are the best because they are easily available, you don’t need to hunt and kill for them, all you need is to let animals do their thing naturally and you have eggs, how cool is that!!!

The egg shell membrane is also something healthy, you can make a powder from the shells.

I was enraged years ago when I heard some god damn political guy running for office talk badly about the western breakfast, how bad it was, so the fricking guy must be talking about eggs. I think is name was Booker or something, he is an ahole, he thinks he is Spartan warrior or something, which means he better be eating fricking eggs (prick). Anyway it shows the ignorance of these fools.

Much appreciated @Cretin78 . I can’t imagine someone talking about eggs when they talk about the Western breakfast though: our breakfast is pretty much pastries and baked goods, and it IS awful. Eggs eaten at breakfast have got to be the exception rather than the norm.
