The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

Hit me right in the feelings.

At work, when we punch in/out it takes a picture of our face, which pops up on the screen as your doing so. I always wish that when you clock out it compared your punch in picture to your punch out picture. Worked 17hrs the other day, woulda been golden.

Cat in the hat is rough, Green Eggs and Ham is about the same thing but 2/3 of it is copy pasted so you’re just repeating the same nonsense over and over. There’s one called Fox in Socks or something, and it’s supposed to be tongue twisters but the same hellacious length as the others. I’ve hidden that one. Hop on Pop is shorter and quicker, but we’re at the phase where my daughter reads it, so it’s easily 20 minutes too.

Shit! I would have loved Cat in the Hat! My dude is autistic and wanted me to read encyclopedias! Dinosaurs, All the animals on earth! The history of Flight. The solar system etc.
All of these bitches are at least two inches thick! With words I can’t pronounce!

I bought all kinds of Little Golden books before he was born… nope! Never made thru one. Only book kids book he liked was Jump Frog Jump…Ugh!

I’m not training for looks so that’s the main reason calves were added to the list. They don’t need much work, if any, to be strong because they’re a 2nd class lever. Can’t think of any time they would be a limiting factor

Truck pulls they’ll start showing their ugly face. Pretty sure Pudzianowski tore his calf in the heats of the 08 WSM on a truck pull. And then still went on to win the competition, haha.

I first thought carry events but figured grip or upper back would give out first. Good call on the truck pull.

But you wouldn’t do calf raises for truck pulls right? More like lighter sled work?

I figure why not both? Bill Kazmaier talked about a pretty intense calf raise set-up he used to get better at truck pulls, and that was back in the day when you weren’t given the rope to help you pull the truck.

Can I blame my genetics for my 2nd class levers?

I hear it’s primarily determined by clavicle length and jaw width.

I’m also soma type fluid, my width fluctuates between dimorphic and muscley teenager.

Is wrist joint radius a more useful measurement?

I only squat in the smith machine nowadays. I don’t think anyone needs to squat with a barbell if the goal is building leg size.

If anyone wants to flame, you must first post a pic of Anna Kendrick.

Wrist radius, times 2, divided by neck circumference is how you determine if you’ll have a bountiful spring.

Lol, nah, you just picked probably the worst one. We’ve got at least 15 Seuss books and they’re 20 pages with a sentence per page tops. We hit Green Eggs and Ham at least once a week.

Confession. I ate a Big Mac last night. And a Quarter Pounder. And a large order of fries. In one sitting.

Can we just create an Anna Kendrick appreciation thread?

I have never experienced anxiety and I am completely incapable of being sympathetic when people are anxious. My response is always that’s illogical.

Meh. Women hate her. Guys won’t admit they like her.

Yup, I, too, have a pretty serious empathy deficit.

We’ve all got problems. Just get on with it.
