I love Scary Movie 1 and 2! I love Brenda! I say, “I’m gonna shit on these walls, Ray!” at least twice a week.

In regards to gym observations, I’ve learned to pump the brakes on my judgement. I never know why a person is doing something. At first I might think they’re an idiot for quarter squatting 4 plates. They need to drop the weight and learn correct form. But there’s also a chance that they want to improve the top 1/4 of the rep, or maybe they’re an athlete and actually realize that 1/4 squats improve sprint times and vertical better than full squats.
I never actually ask them why they’re doing what they’re doing, but I just tell myself they might have a reason.
See that guy doing jump curls with 45’s on the EZ curl bar? Maybe his goal is to “curl” as much weight as possible regardless of form. And he sure as hell doesn’t care about MMC or hitting the muscle in the best possible way. So kudos to you, rockstar, for cheat curling more than anyone in the gym.

Lucky for me I have quite a few of these shirts. They’re all the same blend of cotton and they fit and feel spectacular. We have a local supplement store that gives you points for buying stuff and it turns out I had like 1500 points without even knowing they had the program. This means that I can get free stuff that has their name (Supplement Giant) on it. Their shirts are spectacular. I’ll have to look at the brand but the tag looks very similar to the shirts I’ve seen in @anon50325502 log. That long, skinny, gray tag is the same one on their shirts. They’re so comfortable!!!
The most recent one also has The Punisher skull on it. Bonus!

Are they Bella Canvas? That’s what we use for our eSavagery products. They’re super comfortable and accentuate the shoulders well.
*We tried a few brands and thought it was the best.
This?

Lee Haney on barbell curls:
"Barbell Curl
The first exercise I would do for biceps was the barbell curl. After studying the routines and techniques to develop biceps mass, I found that the men with the best biceps did a lot of explosive, power-type of training for them. Cheat curls were done by most. The barbell curl isn’t meant to be done slowly and with a squeeze on each rep. We do that for other biceps movements where it’s more beneficial, which we’ll talk about shortly. I’ve seen guys do barbell curls with their backs against a wall and curling in slow motion, and that’s missing the point here. What you want to do is a “controlled cheat.” Lean forward slightly at the start of the rep with your arms almost but not quite straight, then explode up and rock back— but just a bit. There is no pause at the top or bottom, and your torso should have a slight rocking motion as you do your reps. The bar should come up to about your nipple line. It’s important that you keep tension on the biceps at all times. Never relax at either the top or the bottom of the rep. Barbell curls are meant to develop mass and power, so keep that in mind. It’s the meat and potatoes for biceps mass, just as squats are for the legs and bench presses are for your chest. Do four to five sets of six to eight reps, pyramiding up in weight on each successive set. Forget about doing sets of 12-15 reps, because again this movement is not suited for that. Finally, you’ll get even better results if you stretch your biceps between each set."

“Cheat to make the rep harder.” I forget which author here said that, but it’s good advice, within reason. Science is finally understanding the “why” behind all the techniques that Arnold-era lifters learned through experience.

I have a specific “the shirt” for each workout (including Leg day, bizarrely enough). I never wear a “the shirt” except for its specific workout. I don’t put “the shirt” on until I’m walking out of the door heading to the gym, and I take “the shirt” off as soon as I get back home. I’m constantly checking our laundry status to make sure that the next day’s “the shirt” will be clean and dry in time for its workout.

MMC?!!! It’s broscience until we call it Intramuscular Coordination!
Wait, I don’t think Rip believes in that either.
If you believe in It, It is reassuring when Multi-Olympia Bros talk about it, then Science Dudes named Yuri and Vladimir talk about it too.

When you say as soon as you get home, do you mean as soon as you come through the front door? And are you sure this is limited to your workout shirts?
Pretty much. I come home and immediately clean up, which includes changing out of the now-funky w/o clothes. But yeah, part of the impetus for cleaning up first-thing is getting “the shirt” off ASAP.
A new one for you @bulldog9899

I’ve been getting random compliments about my ass lately from random women.
A part of me finds it stupid. But the other part of me loves it lol.
My wife tells me “Women look at butts too” lol.

I get this at work too. It’s not so much about my ass but about being handsome or good looking. As I was dealing with one woman’s teenager daughter she asked me if I was married. I told her that I was and she said “That’s too bad. Let me know if it doesn’t work out.”
WTF?
Lady, you just called me because your daughter is a piece of crap. What makes you think I want to be her step-dad?

Lol I’m going to add that one 
Apparently, I’m so good-looking, and my butt is so fine, that women are simply too intimidated and/or flustered to come up and tell me.
