I know a guy who drinks like a fish and smokes, but he thinks sugar is going to kill him and he won’t shut up about it. Yea dude, your sugar free, hazy lunged, vodka soaked body is a temple. I get it. I’m in awe. Tell me more about your secrets to fitness while you struggle to do a chin up.

I realize I’m coming a bit late to this and it’s been resolved but if anyone else is in a similar situation I’d recommend writing an email to yourself (from your personal account) describing what happened and when. It can serve as a way to time stamp your version of events while you’re weighing your options.

I’m not a huge fan of going to HR at every opportunity because many times there’s behavior on both sides that can be seen in a negative light. But I’m not an HR professional either so take that with a grain of salt.

[humblebrag] I’ve written myself 3 emails in the last 18 months. The first was when a female SVP approached me at our Xmas party and said she was lobbying hard for me to get transferred to her team because we would be traveling a lot together. She finished that conversation by grabbing my ass.

The second was when one of our interns (not mine, however) had a couple drinks too many at our summer party, buttonholded me coming back from the bathroom, and told me how much she loves when I come into the office where we housed the interns because I always smelled so good (*). Then she leaned in and nuzzled my neck…I probably, maybe should have stepped back a bit quicker but what can I say, I’m weak.

The third time was when a team member of mine came right out after a team-building event and said her Uber would be here in 2 minutes and that she really wanted to fuck me. o_0

I never went to HR but did document each event in an email and luckily, have not had to produce the emails.

As an aside, I told my gf about the first two events but not the third. I’m still contemplating that one.

(*) It’s Barbasol shaving cream. I get it on sale at Walgreen’s for 99 cents a can and I get a lot of comments about the way it smells. It has a barbershop/soapy smell reminiscent of talcum powder and some older colognes/aftershaves like Canoe and 4711 that I think some women favorably associate with their dads and grandpas.

The memo for record is another fantastic idea. Document everything and build a case.

I personally feel that a strict standing Over head press ( no leg drive or excessive back lean) compared to the Bench is in general a way superior indicator of a individuals overall upper body strength.

In some cases … I wish guys would stop saying what their max lifts are based one rep calculations.

I remember learning the guitar in high school thinking I was okay at it. Not world class, but not bad. Then I discovered virtuosos like Becker and Gilbert.

You guys tried “economy picking”? It’s like sweep picking with the fingers in the right hand thrown in like a banjo picker.

Was at supplement shop, started talking to the guy about training and what he does, just like that (mistake).

Guy had a potato body with spaghetti arms, not lean, no delt, awful physique.

Proceeded to go on and on obnoxiously on a semi monologue about his SPORT, powerlifting, that he was nearing 1600, that he loved it, etc

I had that feeling of repulsion when someone from the abyss of failure and nothingness, a hells angel or something, converse with you but in a somewhat agressive manner wanting to take all the space.

I have yet to see a powerlifter with a good natural physique. The trainer at the gym who does only 3 exercise too has also a very very awful physique, blocky with no arms, back and delt.

The things people will do when they call it a SPORT.

Whoops sorry lol. That video got me worried. People will end up playing like *Kirk Hammett if they start out learning shit like that.

EDIT
*Metallica is one of the greatest bands ever. Kirk Hammett sucks. Sorry fanboys.

Same here. I though I was the shit because I could play like Kirk Hammett lol.

Nope. Never heard of it. I’ve been out of touch with all this since around 15 years ago.

I economy pick a little, but mostly alternate

he’s got some sweet guitars though.

I’m from the Leslie West school of lead guitar. 2 fingers is all you need, baby!

No sweeping, no shredding, but more emotion in each bend and vibrato than in a dozen Joe Satriani mixolydian runs

Just different genres. Satch is a man of many talents. But the dude can’t shred.

Haha yeah. The dude’s done some much interesting stuff over the years, it’s easy to forgive the occasional wanking off.
