@mr.v3lv3t Thanks dude! And LOL at the analogy. It was honestly a technique to keep me away from junk. I had a giant chocolate muffin from Costco in my foodbag that I had promised myself, but I told myself I had to eat all the peanut butter/almond butter stuff FIRST and THEN, if I was still hungry, I’d have the muffin. It worked out well: I was satiated after all that fat, and felt “better” loading up on stuff that had some sort of health benefit to it compared to just being yummy.
@whang Thanks dude!
@flappinit Much appreciated for the recommendation dude. My home laptop is legit just a machine I use to write up blog posts on word, surf the net, and play video games from 1998 on, so I tend to go pretty bargain basement. It’s most likely going to be a shared x-mas gift between my in-laws and myself, so I’ll see where I land.
@kleinhound Come on man: at least give me The Punisher. Batman is lame, haha.
@garagerocker13 Appreciate the perspective dude. For me, the meds are just a no sale. My frustration comes less from the medication and more from dealing with my medical provider, which is not say, NOT dealing with him. This dude has still never actually laid an eyeball on me and sees fit to prescribe all sorts of meds and treatment and exams, and I’m getting frustrated trying to “beat the tape” just to get him off my back. It’s one of those things I know I can do, but I’m just tired of having to do it for HIS benefit rather than my own.

Notes: 2:00 between sets of benching. Day after half, still a bit tender and hungry, so kept rest periods and expectations low and just went for it. Crazy the rep drop off on DB bench when you do it at the end vs the beginning of the workout: good data point. Chest was totally blown up at the end. Getting a bit better at figuring out the slingshot: need to wear it higher up on the arm. Always works better with DBs for me.
Had my second elk sirloin yesterday: melted a little grassfed butter on it and it went a long way. I’m making elk tacos tomorrow using some 1 net carb tortillas I bought online. I’m still buying science experiment foods. I really need to stop.
