You probably shouldn’t talk about your mother that way.

Holy shit, that’s amazing!

I have a major psychological defect that blinds me to the fact that drinking four cans of 8% cider and then going on the internet is not a good idea. Also, I’ve become a program hopper. And I enjoy running. Also, I own five pound dumbbells and I am now starting to experiment with the gravity of sin that can come under the umbrella of ‘flame free’.

True story. I take one of my cats out for walks on a leash. Now this fellow not only follows me by my side with his tail straight up, he belly flops periodically and gets up and walks again. Needless to say, he’s a fucking chick magnet.

So, recently, I spot this chick with her boyfriend and she has that, “Oh my gawd I have to pet that kitty or I’ll just diieeee!!!” look on her face. Which is FINE. You can pet my cat. He likes the attention and will knead with his paws in the air when you stroke his belly. But the baby talk… WHY? It drives me nuts! So this chick comes over goes, “HELLOOOOOO!!” to my cat in the shrillest voice ever, does the most ridiculous baby talk and starts SQUEALING when he does that paw kneading in the air thing. My ears are fucking ringing.

Ladies, this is what a bemused looking but still politely smiling pet owner is really thinking when you do this:

“Ok, I have the element of surprise here. I’ll take out the boyfriend first by landing a quick shot to the liver. Sorry dude, nothing personal. While he’s on the ground confused and wishing for death, I’ll choke out the chick from behind. Then I’ll pick up the purring kitty and make a break for it and lay low for a couple of weeks.”

Stop the fucking baby talk. A cat is not a baby. It’s a fucking half wild animal that chose to live with you so it doesn’t have to hunt for food and cans of tuna aren’t going to open themselves. Have you ever seen a cat playing with it’s toys? Can you imagine what the fucker will do to you for sport if you were that size and I filled your pockets with catnip? I guarantee you that you won’t just be letting out constipated grunts like the guy in The Revenant.

I splurged on a pair of Adidas Leistungs, I’ve been quite pleased so far.

One who’s not alive.

never fucked a zombie? Dude, you haven’t lived!

Rubber up, though, otherwise you’ll turn into a zombie yourself.

@dt79 Oh MAMA

Am I the only one a little bit excited for this?

The BullDog: Cleaning Up the B.S. From T-Nation


The problem is a lot of those people giving advice are doing it with good intentions, so I’m not one who would want to completely discourage it. Good intentions seems to be more and more rare these days, with everyone just doing what is best for number 1. It is nice to see people helping others, but the bullshit advice and the fact people are giving advice way beyond their level of experience and knowledge needs to be stopped.

The straight forward, no B.S attitude is what makes these forums better than the ego-stroking other fitness forums out there. I’m not saying we should all be assholes, but maybe we need to call a spade a spade on here a bit more often.

I’m happy to help others when asked for advice, but I’ll usually be the first to admit that I know the basics of training/nutrition, and the basics only. I guess those ‘good genetics’ of mine are deceiving people to thinking I know more than I do. Just like my resume, I only know about half the shit I put on there :wink:

I wouldn’t go that far… Just saying there has been times that I should have spoke up on my end as a old timer. Where I knew the advice would be ineffective or counterproductive to whom ever was receiving the advice… As shameful as it is to say , I have seen advice that could get someone probably fucked up and I just sat back and watched.:confounded:

More along those lines to be honest…

Which is why Im concern that I will come across as a asshole while doing so.

I bypass this by questioning the legitimacy of the “good intentions”. I know I’ve already said it in this thread, but in a lot of “information giving” exchanges, I find it’s an attempt of the giver to assert authority over the receiver by establishing their superiority in knowledge/ability by BEING the giver of information. By giving information, one asserts that they are better able than the receiver, and it’s a quick way to change the power dynamics in a relationship that was initially neutral.

Most times, these folks aren’t at all interested in the success of the person they are giving advice to; they just want to be a person who gives advice.

It does seem advice giving is mental masturbation for some folks. I try to preface my advice with something like “this works for me”.

I’ll be completely honest though. I’d rather have someone be an asshole about information that I give that might be or is wrong and call me out than not say anything. The biggest reason I’m on this forum is my own benefit. I am the lifting expert in my gym when it comes to doing what I do. There are no OG powerlifters or strongmen to come over and tell me to pull my head out of my ass about something. I want guys that have been at this either longer or more consistently to tell me when I’m wrong. I might get hurt feelings, but if I’m not strong enough to take that, my mental game is too weak to be about this shit and I need to bring that up.

I give advice because I think it’s part of paying your dues to try to give back what you’ve learned. If I’m giving bad advice, then that’s entirely counterproductive.

True… That the one other thing I have considered. Part of the reason I started calling the out the “PT” over DOMS the other day.

For clarification…jabbed with what? :hushed:
