I mean, if you look at a bunch of bodybuilding motivational posts on IG…
I am sure you’ve heard about the Fibo (huge fitness expo). I have been a few times and there are so many weird things to point out and lose your shit over.
But the most perplexing thing for me is all the young men and male teenagers standing in very long lines to then take their shirt off and pose next to an also barely clothed jacked man to have their picture taken.
Especially if you hear a few of them talk in idiot youth slang and hear “that’s so gay, bro” as an insult

Woke at 264.3 lbs, looking similar to yeaterday.
This is where we found out how well 3200 cal/day is going to work as a deficit. It seems to work as a maintenance level if I just move around at work but don’t train, so hopefully adding in training will do what I want for a while before I have to lower it again.
No there is the difference between Bb and powerlifting. 2 years ago at the Arnold I bump into none other than Ed Coan walking with his wife through the exhibition hall. Walk up say high, shake his hand and have a brief chat before wishing him the best and moving on. No shirts were removed, there was no queue or posing and f definitely wasn’t gay !!!

I am in a chat group with some Australian gentlemen. One of which is Tim O’Shea. He is the MC for quite a few powerlifting shows, the most famous one being Big Dogs. So he knows a lot of people and among them also Ed Coan.
One day he sent a pic of him and Ed and one guy in the chat group asks “who is that”. Everyone goes nuts that he wouldn’t know the goat himself and he said “well I don’t give a fuck who he is”.
A little later Tim sends a video of Ed in which he said “Well I don’t give a fuck who you are either, Alex!”. Since then Alex’s name was permanently changed into “I don’t give a fuck who you are either”.
I recently saw that nowadays Alex is friends with Ed on Facebook and Ed congratulated Alex on his birthday with a funny insult.
I just love that story

That is a great story and really goes to show what a humble guy Ed really is. Quality

I am very interested in a detailed write up once you have used that thing a little more. Well If you’d like to give one.
For sure. Remind me, though.

Context matters. You wore your bowtie at work as master of ceremonies at a television awards show, or you wore your bowtie at work as foreman in a coal mine.
