Did you come up with the above meme?

5385

No, it’s just one of my favorites

It’s amazing how much of this post would be incomprehensible to someone like my father (if he were still alive).

I’m 34 and I don’t really get it…nor do I like it.

I’m at the tail end of the last good generation and the very front end of the first idiot generation. I’m lost.

I’m 18 and I’m on the same page…
Granted, I’m pretty much a grandma who sleeps at 9 and goes to the wet market at 6 for groceries

I promise your life has more substance than your peers.

I hope so…
It’s pretty embarassing when my traditional Chinese parents are pushing for me to get on social media, stay up later and possibly go out with friends.

I like my “boring” life though.

It was so-so. Pretty rough terrain but nothing serious.

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty good. My confidence in my physical abilities took a massive hit but I’m doing either resistance circuits or cardio every day, and some days both.

Technically I’m probably in better condition now than I have been for a long time. If that isn’t ironic I don’t know wtf is.

I’m told rain on your wedding day is ironic.

I’ve been bloated and puffy the past week and today was especially bad. So… I finally said fuck it and treated myself to brined meat and preserved radish, all chased down with two diet sodas.

Basically a week’s worth of sodium downed in 1/2 an hour…

You do cheat meals weird.

Prepacked, throw away humour for the prepacked throw away generation.

5396

It wasn’t necessarily a “cheat meal” since the portions weren’t crazy, more like, I give up trying to care for my gut

I woke up today looking 6 months pregnant and 3lbs heavy

5397

Ahah! Finally caught up!

I confess I only read this thread and ‘The Tactical Life’ thread nowadays. Tactical thread for idaho’s wisdom and this one for giggles and Pwns puns. When I get more time I shall go back to the training logs.

I also confess that as I get older, I no longer want to be fat and strong, I want to be a well rounded athletic type. My young self would be appalled!

I’ve already decided to switch to Crossfit once I’m 40, which gives me 20 years to get a 5+x bodyweight deadlift

Just incase you’re not broken enough?

meh, I’ll skip the oly lifts. I really like metcons
Also,I’m anticipating a very busy job

5401

Skip the kipping pullups too :joy:

5402

I can’t do them. usually I just sub with strict HSPU or ring dips. I know the movement works different muscles, but apparently HSPUs are harder for a lot of people, so I guess bonus points for intensity?

Also, I don’t have the coordination to kip, so I can literally do more strict pullups than kipping

The only reasons I don’t do crossfit now are:

  1. The WODS interfere with my lifting too much
  2. I’m too lazy to push that hard every session and I have time to take rests between sets as a young person.

I consider myself to be on the “smarter” side of this generation and I can confirm, despite being part of it, that looking at the way my peers are makes me feel incredibly lonely
