I repeat. No one smart is fooled. Find a bigger pond.
No one smart thinks anyone is being fooled.
Here comes the front squat contest.

I made a Glengarry Glenn Ross reference, but no one was fooled.
I don’t need no front squat contest.
For the record, I thought that contest should’ve included a 1 repetition max element as well.
I caught it and got a chuckle from it.

I checked the entire Hallmark Channel schedule through Christmas.
Die Hard is not on the schedule?..

Hallmark channel sucks. What can be more Christmassy than throwing a commie off a building?

It featured a dude who had scouted out his competition and convinced them to enter into an ultimatum knowing 100% that he could rep 405 more, which honestly had very little to do with the initial argument, it was just an area he knew he could win in. Definitely should have included a max rep contest. The guy got suckered big time.
Marauder Meat was an esteemed Over 35 poster. Iirc he was capable of a 600 lb front squat. But imo it blinded him to the fact that max reps and max weight, at that level, are two different skill sets.
Shame, but he was a man of his word, so that was that.
By all accounts, MM was done with the forums and saw it as a way out.
He ended up coming back a while later and posted for a bit. Still a big, strong dude.
Happen to have mushrooms on that pizza?
Some contain an enzyme which when consumed with alcohol, even in reasonable amounts, cause very bad reactions in some people.

I confess that the ongoing debate about if BBB works in light of the fact that we have evidence of it working seems very Kafkaesque to me.

It’s confirmed my theory that much online discourse is essentially people wanting to watch an argument.

Even more fun is that the percentages weren’t even quoted correctly 
It’s funny because it puts PC in a bit of a bind.
Because, he’s made some very strident and unequivocal statements about what is required to gain muscle. According to these statements, BBB cannot work to add muscle. Yet there is a reasonably large body of evidence that BBB does work to gain muscle.
What is PC to do? Does he act like a reasonable person and admit that there are other approaches that work? Does he outright deny that BBB works?
He finds a middle ground where he grudgingly admits that BBB might not be completely useless.
The more shit like this he pull, the less and less respect I have for the guy. It’s almost like all he wants right now is attention from anyone willing to give it, and he’s willing to say some pretty stupid stuff to get it.

“… I’ll tell Wendler that.”
“If you do, it would be really interesting knowing his response.”
Wendler: “It works. I don’t give a fuck.”
