The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

Hey! wait, no, that’s true, carry on. Imagine only realising that after a long cycle of 1g tren a week.

Yeah you pretty much said what I was thinking when I read the post. I rolled my eyes when he got mad and said do you know how much work it took to bench double body weight? I wanted to chime in and say yes. I’m sure he sacrificed allot

Running steroids while doing Stronglifts 5x5 has to be one of the more ridiculous things I’ve read about in quite a while.

I wanted to chime in and say yes.

I wanted to chime in and say yes, do you? You only reached 1.85x in the gym.

But i try not to go full asshole too often.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who did the math.

It occurred to me today while I was doing my 350 sets that the author kind of contradicted himself. There was an article on here that said it was three sets to failure with a minute rest between. The same weight is used and the goal is to hit 50 reps.

Later, in the forum, I see that he uses two minutes rest and doesn’t go to failure on the first set. It’s a prep set.

???

It’s your freaking method. How did it change?

To set the context better, he posted an example of his sets and he was hitting like 17-18 reps on the second set. Someone asked how he hit that many reps after going to failure on the first set. That’s when he revealed his secret.

I normally just interpret these things very loosely and do my own shit. John Meadows writes absurd things like:

Dumbell Bench Press
4 sets of 10
These sets are all @RPE 9.

If it were just me I wouldn’t hesitate. What’s the worst that can happen, I feel ill? But the clients depend on me. And I’m going to be out for two weeks at the end of the month.

This is admirable. It’s called doing what you say you’re going to do/embracing your responsibilities. Don’t beat yourself up over it.

The workout thing is dumb, I agree, I’m the same way.

I was taking the world ending at a literal value there for the sake of a punchline.

I was actually responding to @anna_5588 there, but fucked it up.

@anna_5588

I did squats and lunges in the hospital room the day after my surgery while I still had a catheter and iv in- you’ll be fine

As it turns out I’m perfectly fine and could totally have done it and now I’ve wasted my ONE SHOT at doing those hill sprints this morning. lol

Still, food poisoning is a bitch

If you have 3 mins of rest it might be possible

[anna_5588]

Whatever it is, it belongs on the foodporn thread

[Frank_C]

Finished product of the Krusteaz Buttermilk Protein Pancakes. @simo74 can’t stop thinking about pancakes so I thought I’d let him know I enjoyed these for breakfast.

[whang]

[simo74]

[anna_5588]

I think I’m actually going to take the day off today

[bulldog9899]

Noting wrong with that

[Pinkylifting]

Good to hear!

[anna_5588]

The problem is that I feel like I’m taking a mental out
