The Flame-Free Confession Thread

Same, even though I have no idea of any fitness celebrities or anything (I don’t even have an Instagram account) and the name would mean nothing to me.

Trust me, this individual is the furthest thing from a fitness celebrity -lol

This is Larry Wheels’ PL “coach”, right?

@punnyguy

If I put you on a monthly salary so I could name drop you on social media, and you could sell an e-book that I wrote on your own web site but under your name and we’d split the money in addition to occasionally throwing up pics of the two of us,… would I be your coach?

LOL! You answered what would’ve been my follow up question…! Always did wonder about that “relationship”.

That crew of Kevin Oak, Wheels, Black Tom Cruise, and Kiger is fun to watch though. Kiger Strength is a pretty funny YouTube channel, interspersed with some serious lifting.

When I see people on here wanting advice and a program so they can look athletic… I keep asking myself," yeah ,ok but for which sport?"

Lol that reminds me one time I was sleeping pretty deep, and my husband was playing Call of Duty

There’s those zombies that make that weird screaming noise…

These are all the godforsaken noises those bastards make:

My brain came up with the MOST twisted nightmare like ever…something straight out of Saw or Resident Evil.

I woke up and looked my husband dead in the face and was like, “Turn. That. Shit. Off. Now.”

:laughing::laughing:

Rofl, wth. Tell him to invest in some headphones. :wink:

I used to always listen to music while I sleep (before I got married, lol) and my friend stayed over and this is what he woke up to, the beginning part of this song.

My brain would’ve made me dream of some alarm going off, or like those disaster alarms like for fallout shelters and whatnot lol

My husband destroys headphones. So I don’t buy him any. When I’m ready for bed it’s TV off. Lol. No exceptions.

I seriously cannot fathom how Blaha’s shit is still getting views. Like more views than Alphas stuff gets. I hope that dude is not making a living in the fitness industry because that is beyond depressing… I played with the idea in my mid 20’s and felt like a fraud that no one would / should listen to so the idea that he is “making it” really has me scratching my head.

Heres some “garage gym confessions” (really more just stories):

Summer in Palm Springs, Ca gets brutally hot. This past week was 119 and 118 on tuesday and wednesday, and I train in my garage so it can be quite brutal so last year I bought an standing AC unit. It doesnt cool the whole garage much but it points right into the squat rack so I’m fine with it. I turn it on around 8pm and train at 10pm and it makes it tolerable.

I also bought an electric car this year… and without realizing my wife plugged it in when she came home from the store. They were both on the same circuit and the power draw of the two things blew it out and my garage was hot as hell when I went out there.

Next night I told her not to plug the car in… which she didnt… but then she left the garage door open. WOOSH goes all my cold air out the door(I guess technically all the hot air came into the cold space created in my garage) and cut to me training in misery for 2 days in a row.

Fun times. I might consider getting a gym membership for 3 months next year.

Lol. People really shouldn’t believe everything they read.

One of my close friends is a popular classical pianist over here. He asks me to answer written interview questions via email for him sometimes because he’s a lazy bum.

One day he called me up and was exclaiming in (mock) exasperation after reading the interview in the papers, “DT! Under favorite music I’m currently listening to… What the fuck is ‘Bach’s rendition of Children of the Damned’?!!”

Reminds me of the time I asked my Russian roommate to help me with (ok, do) my Russian homework. Little prick wrote a whole essay ending with ‘this is your own homework so do it yourself’.

I liked writing and I was watching and reading a bunch of horror stuff when I was a teenager. A friend had a bit of creative writing homework he had to do and was lazy AF. So I wrote it for him, inspired but the horror I had been watching/reading.

He ended up having to see the school psych for 6 weeks. He sat through 6 sessions, during lunch, rather than get busted for cheating haha

My better half is a psychologist and I have never told her this story.

Had no emails from the German parent company today with extra stupid tasks. First time in months. Thought “today will be a good day”.

Then I found a dead mockingbird being devoured by ants. Not a superstitious guy, but damn that was unnerving. Expecting Steven king any minute now.

You’re doomed!

Pet cemetery up in here!!!

Lol - honestly the name shouldn’t mean anything to you unless you’ve been screwed over by him, are a complete newb who doesn’t know better and is buying the “I just wanna help people” line, or if youve realized that most Fitness writers online are full of it and only care about creating their own reputation amongst readers and making a few bucks by sending their crap everywhere.

Still, it’s pretty easy to figure out, with public access social media, and people’s legal rights to share any emails/texts that they’re a party to (which is why I can publish 5 months of correspondences and he knows it).

Confession: I said exactly the same thing a few days ago and went on a bit of a hunt to figure it out.

I won’t ruin the fun for you, but lets see if I can get away with a phonetic hint.

What do you call a group of geese.

What is the name of an animal with a mane that roars.
