I’m drinking martninis in an old school club in Chicago tonight because I haven’t slept in two nights and this is my third of four cities in three days.
Sounds more like a brag than a confession

Normally I’d say you’re spot on, but this time not really. I should have lifted. The gym here isn’t bad but it’s not great. But the bar is seriously old school (and living in Florida I don’t get these often). I have this thing with drinking and lifting.

I don’t mean to brag to anyone on here but I’ll have you know I can rep the stack on the Assisted Pullup machine. #humble

I used to be so light I could use it as a shoulder press machine

Rippetoe’s latest podcast (51) is hilarious. Check it out on the YouTube’s.
I am finding the general lack of posterior chain in most males today troubling
I was stuck on a plane most of this week and I watched multiple men ages 19-65 absolutely struggle
to clean the carry on bag into the overhead storage rack. The common thread was a complete lack of ass or hips even on younger, decently in shape guys.
I am not saying every guy has to run to the gym and sky hump weights until they split their pants, but any basic movement or exercise would at least keep that muscle group existent?
I see now why there is a bad back epidemic in this country.

I purposely keep my basement gym hot (85-90) so that I sweat more and feel like I’m working harder. I find that if It’s cold and I don’t break a sweat within the first 10 mins, I will lose my motivation.
Do what it takes I guess…
I find it honestly hard to relate to men my age in my area. Most seem to just go to work and come home and sit on their ass and possibly watch their kids doing sports living through them. It’s like a few of them have given up the ghost. Yet they find me to be the oddball…

Yep, that’s the norm.
We are the oddballs 
But damn it feels good. Sucks for them.

And here I am upset that I’m going through an average of 2/3 berms a month cause they keep tearing on me. The best part is, the berms aren’t even tight or anything to begin with. They’re loose at the waist and slightly fitted at the thighs/ass.

I honestly like Rip. He’s a funny guy. I’m 51% sure that if I ever meet him in a social setting, we will end up in a strip club with 2 girls on his lap drinking single malt whiskey by the end of the evening. I am also 99% sure he’s going try to skimp on the tips.

It’s one of the best songs ever written.

I’ve entertained a LOT of clients at these places. I can tell with sufficient certainty who’s going to haggle about the price lol. Someone like Wendler will probably end up paying double.

An incredible about of financial and legal business is done in those clubs

I confess that I have envisioned the fiery, painful death of our local gym grunter/heavy breather, the dude sounds like he’s getting hammered with a flag pole doing literally every exercise (this is not an exaggeration, curls, tricep extensions, calf raises…) and between sets he sounds like he could suck a golf ball through a garden hose. It is brutal to listen to, bordering on uncomfortable.

Sometimes when I’m having a shitty day at work I pop into the CT or Wendler sub-forums and find some idiot (typically plenty to choose from) to tell the truth to. I feel mean doing it, but it releases something to allow me not to lose it on a co-worker.
Also, the “Nutrition and Night Peeing” thread title makes me laugh.
