This was pre-tumblr I think (which is mostly women demographically iirc).

Is Tumblr that swipe right/swipe left thing?

No, that’s one of the dating apps. Tinder I think. Tumblr is similar to Instagram, you just slide up and down and mostly see pictures, but it can be other stuff too.

Maybe I would, if you damn kids would get off my lawn and turn down that infernal rock and roll music.

It was a combo soft core porn, inadvertent dating site, game / pick up theory, and just general sex talk forum. Kinda fun but I guess it escalated beyond its boundaries and a few bad apples ruined the bunch.

I think giving kids garbage food should be considered abuse. If I were to give my kids a cigarette or alcohol then I’d be publicly shamed and lose them (temporarily).
But somehow it’s okay to give them processed garbage day after day and have them 40 lbs overweight by 1st grade. They’ll be teased their entire lives. Their self esteem will be shot. They won’t be able to play with their friends. It directly effects the outcome of their entire life. But since it’s obesity we won’t talk about it and we damn sure won’t say it’s a bad thing.
Those poor kids have no idea what’s happening and they never have a chance to live what I consider to be healthy life (being active via sports, camping, hiking, swimming, etc.). It breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time.

Confession:
I believe (or want to believe) the following…
-You can (and people did) gain 30lbs of muscle in 6 weeks on Super Squats. I’ll even settle with 30lbs of lean mass rather than muscle.
-Paul Anderson DID squat 1200lbs.
-There is no such thing as overtraining; only undereating.
-One of the Barbarian Brothers was natural.
-Bill Kazmaier is the greatest strongman of all time, and most likely would have been the strongest man to ever walk the planet if he was born 30 years ago.

I am old, and very, very cynical.
Therefore, I only believe in #5. GOAT Kazmaier.

I went to bed before 9pm on the 4th of July. I didn’t even care that I missed fireworks… I’m only 28.

I agree with all your points, except what is this:
no flame, but I took a picture and sent this to every government agency I could get a hold of. You are going away for a long time you sick fuck.

If you look at the book “Super Squats”, it’s subtitle is something to the effect of “How to put on 30lbs of muscle in 6 weeks”
Reading through it, there are outrageous claims of weight gain during the program when paired with prodigious eating. Since it’s publication, our understanding of what is TRULY muscle weight has changed, and even I, in my idealistic hopefulness can’t imagine 30lbs of actual dry muscle weight gained in 6 weeks without some sort of Captain American-esque steroid regimen, but I’ll hold out hope for 30lbs of lean mass.
I see, thanks for going into more detail, wasnt aware that it was a whole book. The claim does seem outrageous. Nonetheless, would you still recommend reading the book?
Oh 100% yes. Randall Strossen is a fantastic author who not only goes into the history of the programming, but of the flat foot squat itself and many old time lifters. And the book does such a good job motivating you that I don’t know a single person who finished it and DIDN’T end up running their own Super Squat program, self included.
Very good to know, Ill be looking for something different to try after my next competition, ill grab the book and give it a read.

I went to bed at my usual time, but I slept in till 10am and took three 30 minute naps throughout the day. It was glorious.

It’s not okay and I’m not sure who would think it it but these are hardly comparable
