Nope. He started a thread asking about this.
I just saw it. I mean really. What is this place becoming? Vegan sausages, anti-deadlifting coaches, height requirements for roids?
I don’t know how much more I can take.
Pretty soon we will all be at planet fitness doing some BBdotcom program, after we determine our neurotype. Geez!

All he is saying is the bench, deadlift and (low bar) squat are not good options for building muscle and they carry a relatively high injury risk.
Which is pretty much what everyone who isn’t a powerlifter or Mark Rippetoe says.

I ALMOST bought the gym bag too. I just have no way to justify a gym bag…

Confession:Today, I raided my closet and made a few more. This is now a sleeve free home, either remove them voluntarily or they will be forcibly removed

When you said “cut-off” the first time, I didn’t think you meant sleeveless.
I assumed you meant an actual cut-off shirt.

These things. I just have to keep biting my tongue.
It’s just… It’s…
Just NO. Vegan tube crud, vegetable puree suppositories, what ever.
But it isn’t sausage. It just isn’t. If they’re going to do the “It’s Not Meat!” thing, cool, but make up a new word for it, like Uvula Scratcher. Or Soy Stix!
It’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard since the fast thing took off and people started doing what ever the hell they wanted as long as they put “fast” at the end.

King of The Hill taught me the term “soysauge”, and I assumed it was the acceptable norm now.

I’ve become a stodgy old curmudgeon. Slow to change, quick to anger.
I’m still pissed about marketing people putting Z’s where S’s should be to make the word look like it’s going fast.

I truly do not understand WHY they want to eat something that supposedly tastes meat, if they don’t like meat! I don’t get it.

I dunno. I asked one once and she said she’d eat meat except that it’s icky and she doesn’t like to touch it.
My one niece is vegan due to an unusual allergy, but she doesn’t even bother with the fake meat stuff. Why bother with an imitation something when you can have real, natural food in the form it originated in?

That’s it. Stop making weird shit and calling it a meat.

It tastes like meat in the same way that poop tastes like chocolate

The last (and only) meat substitute burger I ate wasn’t advertised as such. I got it take out, took 3 bites and threw it out thinking it was rancid (only (cooked) burger I have failed to finish)
A year later, I’m at a get together and a vegan is going on about this same place and thought it was funny that us meat eaters were eating these delicious burgers with no clue the meat wasn’t meat. Yeaaah, no.
I was glad I had an answer to why the burger was so off though, in the back of my mind was a worry worms were slowly eating my brain. It was a relief thalrps wasnnprrrt daaak ceeeshk.

As a father, I feel I can speak with authority on disappointment - a dry peach must be the pinnacle of disappointment.

I had part of one once when I was teen aged. My dad thought they might be interesting. We each took a couple of bites and simultaneously got up to throw them in the garbage.
I’m a proponent of enjoying your training. I’m not saying you should only do fun stuff, but if you like your program then you’re more likely to put in the work.
But on the topic of nutrition…
I’m having thoughts about changing my goals/standards so I can enjoy my food. I don’t need to eat like an a-hole but maybe I’d enjoy life more of I loosened up a bit. I’m seriously considering allowing myself to gain 10 lbs just because I’m tired of being hungry all the time.

The more I’m focusing on budgeting, the more I’m drawn to shows/channels that dedicated to useless spending. It feels eerily similar to the food obsession displayed by anorexics/bodybuilders on prep.
I guess as long as I don’t actually follow the example of those channels/shows, I’m good
