I used to be a huge sweets whore.Then in 5th grade, I challenged myself to go the entire summer without ice cream/frozen yogurt/popsicles etc. I realized it wasn’t that hard so challenged myself to give up baked goods (I was getting into nutrition and fitness at this point). I never missed them after the first 3 weeks.
With that said, I cannot resist meats and seafood. Those are my “triggers”, particularly ones with crispy skin or are slightly charred.
My record was at a bbq 2 years ago: 12 spare ribs, 10 chicken wings, 2 sausages, 2 3oz steaks and 10 veggie skewers.

I’ll be in Pittsburg…It’ll be fun shamelessly stuffing my face while my classmates are too drunk to care

Sorry for the ignorance, I looked this up out of curiosity but couldn’t find anything that explains it. I read that on the bench, in competition, the bar must not touch the belt. What does this mean? How can you even do that and take advantage from it? I’m trying to picture it in my mind but I can’t.
If you make the belt your touchpoint (vs your torso), you reduce ROM on the bench. You could always wear your belt super high to make this even more helpful.
As a strongman, I know just about anyway to cheat within the rules, haha.

I confess that Pittsburgh has been the source of one of my favorite jokes.
2 men are at a bus station. One turns to the other and says “I’m so embarrassed: I had a total Freudian slip when ordering my tickets. The woman at the ticket booth was very busty, and instead of asking for 2 tickets to Pitssburgh, I asked for 2 pickets to Tittsburgh”
The other guy says “Oh man, I had one of those Freudian slips too! This morning, at the breakfast table, I meant to ask my wife to please pass the salt but instead I said 'You ruined my life you insufferable nag.”

Yes but aren’t you making the concentric harder because you are increasing the leverage arm at which you press, by bringing the bar further away from your shoulders? Wouldn’t you end up pressing in a wider arc?
Here you are thinking like a powerlifter, haha.
To cheat, you would wear your belt around your ribcage, right at your bench touchpoint.
And that’s assuming raw. In equipped, you could most likely put it lower than that.

What’s the point of a belt on bench?
For equipped powerlifting, it helps keep your shirt in place.
Also helpful for cheating, until “the man” started holding us down…
Ooh please share

That is what I am doing…
In less than 10 hours I’ll be doing my oral exam for graduation from high school. Shooting for max grades. I’ll go ahead and admit that, unlike the two written exams, I’m a little nervous right now.
I’m 3.5 weeks into my recovery from surgery to repair my chronically subluxing biceps tendon. I’m still training the best I can with my legs and one good arm. My weight is stable but my abs are gone. My stomach looks like crap.
This frustrates me, but apparently not enough… It’s possible that I’ve been drinking too much to deserve that six pack, but I still bought a case of Corona Premier at the grocery store today. It’s only 90 calories, though!

Totally feel you. My abs are a lot blurier than pre surgery about 3 months ago and I actually lost 2 lbs. This is with consistent training and eating! SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING!!!

I’m confessing that, since I’m at a hotel for 3 nights with only a double-pulley station, I’m doing bro workouts after ages.
Today I did a cliché upper pull workout and honestly, it was probably the best workout I ever had.
Bro time?
