I actually feel better with some running in my program
Prefer to keep it short and sharp though.

I’m legitimately disappointed that the Clavicular Lengthening thread is over and done.

Honestly, I feel like this kind of sentiment is usually just a result of glorifying the past. People haven’t changed that much.

The barbell hip thrust/glute bridge is so far down on my list of exercises (it’s a few spots after curls in the squat rack for me) that I’m pretty sure I’ll be in the grave before I do one. I’m 54, but my opinion would still be the same if I was 24…

After stopping, I’ll drive through red arrows if nobody is coming the other way.

Confession: I get a mild ego boost when I do an exercise I’ve never seen anyone else do in the gym then, within a few weeks, I see more people doing it. It’s worked with standing dumbbell presses, deadstop laterals, alternating Hammer Strength presses, and wide grip cable curls so far.

Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have eaten the entire bag of chips yesterday. I had to pretty much pour my ass in these blue jeans

Y’all know how there’s the whole “10,000 Hour Rule” thing?
I thought about it and damn, that’s a long time if we were to apply it to lifting(or anything for a matter of fact). 10,000 hours = 416.6 days.
First off, imagine spending that much time in the gym. That’s pretty pretty darn insane, the only ‘reasonable’ way for anyone to hit that amount of time would be say… 2 hours in the gym daily for 13.69 years.
Now, imagine if you only count time under the bar so to speak. My average squat rep takes 2-3 seconds. Assuming I count my warm up reps(nearly impossible if you don’t), I’d have to do a grand total of 12000000, aka twelve million, repetitions if I ever wanted to ‘master’ the squat.
Going back to the 13.69 years… Maybe that’s why most Olympic Weightlifting medallists are aged between 20-28. Considering the fact that most of them start training for the sole purpose of the olympics from the ages of 4-8. That and the whole prime age of physicality thing.
Anyways, here’s the confession part of it. I’d like to hit a grand total of twelve million repetitions on the squat in my life time. Why the squat? Eh, I just like the lift.

I started doing bicep curls today. I’ve resisted it for so long, but it feels… kinda good, you know?

Sometimes I wonder if a person was to forced to only eat 2000 cals a day (at any weight) but busted their ass working out how strong could they get over the course of a few years.
I also wonder if the story of Milo and the Calf is true?
When I went to Nepal 3 years ago, I saw an old man carry a fridge on his back up stone steps no shoes like it was nothing. Always hoped I could have that type of strength and grit at that age.

Adam corolla talked about how he did it on ‘loveline’ back in the day, I was at a red arrow when he said it
No. Absolutely not. But it’s a cool fable.
