Shameless self-promotion here. Just started a blog to document why weights = good.

Bullshit, pistol squats are the way to go.

Do you really think I have the coordination necessary to do a pistol squat without breaking my knee?

Kidding. I have done them on occasion, but I just use regular weights if available.

All of life’s incredible feats of strength are deadlift.

I’ve never heard:

“There I was with a Fiat mysteriously on my back. I don’t know how it got there. But, just when I thought it was all over for me, I stood up.”

Ya know, I was watching TV once about extreme survivals of events. Some dude was hiking and a rock slide occured and pinned him under a large slab. Sucks you might imagine, but it gets worse, apparently the weight of the slab was causing him to slowly slide toward a ledge that would’ve dropped him however far to his certain doom. That moment of ‘mother saving child’ strength occured and he managed to save himself while separating his muscles from his arm. Really cemented the importance of training the first portion of the Turkish get-up.

I kid you not, I was going to bring that up and canned the post because I wasn’t sure if he cut his own arm off (different kind of strength) or broke/tore it off.

Stone lifts would care to have a chat on the manner.

Haha nah it wasn’t the 136 hours guy (pretty sure that’s the book/movie where he cut his own arm off). This dude kept his arm but managed to exert enough force that the muscles tore from their connection points, or so the TV says.

What about your rep pr’s?

Guys, I’m not doing too well. I’m coming off Lexapro cold turkey because it murders my stomach, and while my stomach is feeling 110% better, I’m feeling very lonely and sad. Can I talk to somebody here?

Sure thing man. You want my email or something?

Yeah, please.

Not a confession, but I had to step in to say this. I know that a variety of people who participate on the forums will be turning 18 soon (including myself), or already are 18-25 and living in the United States.

In the event that our worst fears are realized and a modern-day draft is reinstated to combat the growing US-Iranian crisis, fight to kill. Remember that you’re not fighting for America, because it is painfully clear now more than ever that our government sees us as disposable for their own purposes. Rather, fight for your brothers on the front line with you.

God is dead.

Fuck the government.

Violence is golden.
