I hate the whole “hardcore” thing. All you’re doing is going to a gym. Nothing about that is hardcore.

I don’t find the sacrifice comments entirely fair. I am not a competetive athlete, but a single parent. I have sacrificed things so I could buy more equip etc… Because, I still believe in the dream of being a better person and an example for my son.

You know,you are right on that one.I usually assosiate with other university students,and talking about sacrifices at an age where all you usually have to do is study is dumb,but I have no place critisizing a older person with a kid to take care of
So I guess I just dislike it when people with no responsibilities talk about sacrifising

I gave up “leg day” partially because I hated walking around like a cripple for half the week on the verge of a groin pull if I had to pick something up off the ground. I still train everything with the same volume but its split up over 2-3 (and even 4 at one point) days now and my life is much better for it, and my legs are basically the same.
Honestly I wouldnt even care if I lost some size in my legs because my quality of life is that much better.

I’m so hardcore that I’m not affected by noobs who think they’re hardcore. In fact, I’m so hardcore that I believe anyone as hardcore as me will be able to take down a fully grown grizzly with a flying armbar. What? Physics? Fuck physics! Jesus walked on water. What’s your excuse?

This weekend I was challenged by a friend to a fight over fantasy football (lol I know…). Anyway my wife confidently proclaimed that of course I would beat his ass, I can deadlift 500 pounds! I let the compliment soak in instead of explaining to her that gym strength doesn’t necessarily correlate to fighting skill. I WOULD have beat his ass though, no question. He apologized when I accepted his challenge.

A mate of mine got into a super-drunken argument with his dad one time, and I intervened to tell them both that it wasn’t the time or the place (it was at a party - no one needs that kind of bad vibes at a party). My mate told me to back off or he’d “punch my cunt in.” I calmly assured him that this was not a good idea and that he should calm down, which he did.
The next time I saw him, he was really apologetic and thanked me very graciously for not kicking his ass! It’s not like I’d have actually done it - I love the guy; we’ve been mates for years - but it makes me chuckle when I imagine him sobering up and being like “wow, that sure was nice of Yogi not to kick my ass.”

As I mentioned in another thread, there is always some one that needs an ass kicking. Just remember, you have not been appointed by god to administer the beating. Sometimes it’s best to let someone else do it. Sometimes, it’s best to let the deserving figure out they deserved one but got a get out of jail free card.

I think the pre-bed meal is the most important of the day. It just makes sense to me that it would be that way. Sleep is where you do all the cool, recovery shit, so why not fuel that as best you can?
I often have my night time feeding as my largest meal of the day.

My breakfast for the last ~2 years has been 2 rockstars and a cliff bar. Occasionally I’ll eat a slim jim and/or some combos.

Are those the 240mg of caffeine rockstars or the lower strength ones?
Oh sweet baby jesus, we pray for @goochadamg because he is in eating the devil in the form of a Slim Jim. Forgive him sweet baby Jesus because he does not know that the slim Jim is evil, that he is taking evil into his mouth, that he is chewing evil, that he is swallowing evil.
Forgive him sweet baby jesus.

I think you can be a terrible program hopper and still get strong and make progress if you’re not a pussy and keep adding weight to the bar. That being said, don’t make a new thread announcing your switch from Westside to Smolov every single time it happens.

The blue no-carb 240mg ones.
I ate two donuts and piece of cake yesterday and washed it all down with booze. I’m doomed to a life of morbid obesity. Ok seriously, I do have to stop this shyte.
How did you manage to stop at two? When I’m around donuts, I usually stop at the box is empty or everyone is staring at me in shock and horror.

Slim Jims are def paleo.
I once worked for a company that managed the Slim Jim’s website.
My kids loved it when I brought home a box.
Actually they did Starbucks and Altoids too.
We had all the Coffee, Slim Jims, and mints we ever wanted.

“Ingredients. A 2009 Wired article listed some of the ingredients as beef, mechanically separated chicken, lactic acid starter culture, dextrose, salt, sodium nitrite and hydrolyzed soy.”
Lol - I eat that shit too.
