The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

It like you saw me struggle to put my trousers on today…

But seriously though I think it’s the inability to compromise.
Skiny guys wanna get big and strong but want to keep their abs
Big strong guys wanna get lean but don’t wanna lose ANY strength or muscle.

Surely that depends on the goal of training?

Yes, which is why I acknowledged that a physique could be conducive to a sport.

I’m not saying everyone should be 12% body fat, but if you’re going to post regular selfies from the gym then you had better be maintaining a good look or making progress.

Agreed all round. Although the idea of posting gym selfies at all baffles me.

I don’t understand selfies period. I hate having my photo taken. I always end up looking like a retard

Well, she is 17 and English isn’t her native tongue. And, it isn’t exactly a PC kind of forum, so there is context to consider.

Stop posting shirtless photos of your fasted cardio sessions with the caption “Gotta get this grind on…”

I DID have to unfollow one of my friends on facebook over that stuff, because my compulsion to post snarky responses was getting too overwhelming.

Is pantless pictures acceptable?

I had to delete facebook entirely to stop myself from becoming a massive troll in vein of ‘perfect 5/7’ fame.

FACEbook: not headbook.

Why don’t you explain the proper term so she can improve her English?

I’m very sure English isn’t her 2nd language.

What’s wrong with the word “retard” anyway? I thought it means “Jimmy Fallon”.

I assumed since she lives in Singapore English is not her native language. At the least, colloquial “American” English is not her strong suit, hence the understandable lack of familiarity with the connotations of the the word retard.

I also believe that contextually, it was acceptable, hence my request for clarification.

I believe it refers to anyone that does not worship Rippetoe.
