The Flame-Free Confession Thread

This is very true, my uncle (through marriage, so I don’t share the genes!) has never lifted a weight in his life, but he has the chest shoulders and arms that would rival that of a physique guy. His sons are all well built as well, one of them started training for a while and hit a 5 plate deadlift the first time lifting.

But the results stemming from relatively more androgen receptors in the shoulder girdle area are quite suspect. I believe you filed down your Roid Jaw to pass off as a natty. Occam’s Razor brah!

Duuuuuuude this movie was awesome!!! The fucking ninjas! They’re running across the sea, they’re launching sneak attacks from KITES!!! Eddy Ko’s severed head gets impaled on a branch and explodes??!!! LMAO!!! So this is where some of that crazy shit in Swordsman 3 came from lol. And even with all this ludicrous shit happening, everyone is playing their role with a straight face! Tsui Siu Keong is practically emoting! This is exactly why I love HK movies.

It’s a classic for sure. A phenomenal ending which set the bar for the wire fu shit that Hollywood copied the shit out of, in the early 2000s.

I’ve been watching Olympic ice dancing with my wife for the past few days. Confession: I make her watch it with me and not the other way around. Never have I seen perfection look so effortless. Beautiful, dramatic, and absolutely captivating.

I absolutely cannot stand the figure skating, and it’s always on! I chuck on the Olympics, watch the last 3 people do slopestyle than its back to the figure skating!

I’m definitely more of a halfpipe, slopestyle and snowboard racing kind spectator.

Confession:

Kinda long but it’s a fun “dumb gym story. “ I would have made YouTube gold if I was recording.

I was doing band face curls in my garage rack about 2 weeks ago and the pressure pin I was doing them on popped out and sling shotted right into my face. Blood everywhere and my bite was jacked up. Not gonna lie that bite issue freaked me out, I thought I messed up my jaw and teeth badly. Luckily It was only one tooth and I was able to pop the tooth back into place luckily but I knew I needed stitches.

This was at around midnight so I had to wake my wife up, tell her I’m going to the ER. That was fun. “Babe I am a complete idiot and have to go to the ER”

It wasn’t as bad as it seemed initially, only four stitches at the ER. The dentist says The tooth I knocked out of place needs to get pulled and replaced. I’m up to $500 in bills and I haven’t even seen the dental surgeon. Luckily the lip scar is healing nicely.

Probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever done in my gym career… the pin is very, very obviously not made for that but I got used to working with it because I usually do press downs on it (no horizontal force). 4-6 inched up and my eye might have been gone.

It’s probably going to cost me more than I spent on my whole gym set up when it’s all said and done too

I have pics but they are basically just some random dudes busted up face. If there is demand I’ll post them up though.

I’ve read your description of what happened a few times and I just cant picture what happened…

I can picture the bolt to the face bit… lol

You’re not thinking like a stupid enough person, as I was that night. Even now I wonder how I let myself do it.

Your brain isn’t allowing you to envision the setup because it is immediately rejecting it subconsciously as so stupid no one would do it.

I’ll post a picture of the set up and you’ll go “why the fuck would this idiot do THAT?!” Once you get your mind to that level of idiocy you might be able to imagine it

So the bottom photos are the rack set up and the pin that came out, damn thing is bigger than I thought it was.

Basically you can see the orange band I use to do tricep press downs hanging from the pin… in a brief moment of stupidity I grabbed them and started doing arm curls at about face height and BAM, the force was more than the pin could take and it rocketed right into my face
