The Flame-Free Confession Thread

Toasted Hawaiian Bread!

Simple idea, but Incredible! Also, a good test of patience.

But the Nickleback singer sounds like he’s puking and taking a really big dump at the same time. That’s why I feel like puking when I listen to them.

Sounds just like them.

Play both videos at the same time and hear how they blend perfectly.

Confession: I am SO over benching. I just don’t care about it anymore.

Preach. My right elbow and left shoulder have never felt better. I had chronic pain for years while benching, and I felt I was way too young for that.

Oh, I’m still going to do it because I’m stupid. I’m just going to hate it more than usual, haha.

Hey, your strict overhead is miles ahead of mine. Maybe I need to be benching lol.
A football bar showed up at my gym the other day, I may start with that to get back into horizontal pressing of some sort.

I do feel the bench has good carryover to overhead pressing, but it also seems to depend on the type of presser you are. I’m very much brute strength with no technique, and so the bench is just another form of strict pressing for me. I even get a solid arch on the strict press to allow it to be semi-benchy. However, people that are a little more precise might not see the carryover.

Football bar/swiss bar never felt right for me on bench. The long handles make it unbalanced and the lack of rotating sleeves make it a total pain to unrack. However, for some reason, it feels REAL good with floor press.

Either way. As long as I take four a day, I feel fine. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I had a rather vivid dream a couple nights ago I spent like $1,200 on gym equipment that I don’t need but would be pretty pumped to have. I felt pretty relieved and pretty bummed when I realized that it was just a dream.

Confession about your confession: When first I read it, I was puzzled as to what it meant to ‘overbench’–is it doing more sets than necessary? Too many workouts/week? Eccentric reps only?

Then I read the replies from individuals who possess the skill of reading comprehension, and the meaning became clear.

That Nickelback diss cracked me up, and I have nothing against them.

But then, I actually like U2, so there’s that…

True confession, I’ve been playing the Christmas music channel constantly since the season for all Christmas songs all the time started.

I am a big fan of Delilah’s show.

Jimmy Durante’s Frosty the Snowman is the best.

Your gym gets more decked out every week. With cool stuff too.

Lucky!

I am amazed by how often I hear guys call in, that are truck drivers (usually long distance, 18 wheeler). Makes me giggle…

This was my initial reaction as well lol

Anyone have tips for hs placement testing? Have it tomorrow, and strangely not nervous- probably because sleep deprived.
(yes I’ve studied, and yes I will get sleep soon)
