Dammit. I forgot about the gold standard!
Maybe because I only had .9 of a bananna.

I will forgive youā¦ this time.
Next time, I wonāt be such a generous god.
Seeing a new trend on lifting social media that is annoying, purely on the hypocrisy of it.
Apparently its called " humbling" basically guys are taking videos of others. ( whom they have zero association with)Which Apparently they find these videos egotistical. Normal its video of newbie lifters ā¦( who probably shouldnt have posted in the first place.)
At anyrate they will take these videos and add them selves. Saying things in text like āim benching your Deadlift.ā
To me they cant see the irony.
I saw one where a man was āhumblingā a woman.
Seems childish to meā¦ it serves no purpose IMO. As much as i hate the termā¦ its kind of toxic.
Seen one like thatā¦ the gal was pulling triple plus bodyweight Imo. Guess the guy didnt like her commenting , that she pulls more than most of the guys in her gym. Which could be the case ( willing to bet her strength ratio was higher) Was it a hair egotistical on her end ? Maybe? But who really caresā¦
But you got people whoes following these guys doing the " humbling". Seems like these followers are suffering from their own self-esteem issues.
Gym ācultureā is repulsive now. Nothing but weak ass phone zombies and irrelevant tripod skanks

In this case internet gym culture is like a car crash on the side of the road. You dont want to look but you doā¦
I went 2 years without it. Peeking at it nowā¦i didnt think it could get worse.
Some videos can be unintentionally funny. Thereās also a trend where people make fun of āego liftsā, and while some lifts are ridiculous, a lot of comments are making fun of max efforts (clean form) and intentional training components like heavy partials, pin presses et cetera.
I always get a chuckle out of the criticisms.
Itās unfortunate the current wave is so bitchy, but they can ironically become the butt of their own jokes.

Whenever anyone has access to so much content, and a platform voice their opinions, itās what happens. 150lb guys berating Olympia winners form is always a good one.

Well FST7 is silly though !
We have a fellow building a rather architecturally non stunning home. Adding ugly to irritating, he is now stealing water from the canal to fill his bass pond. I have told the canal master, we will see where this goes.
Bass pond you sayā¦?

Just make sure not to use rotenone near the water. Cause you know if it washes in, he will never have a bass pond.
And donāt spill hydrated lime in the pond by accident either.

This shit. All you people who are proudly engineers, make a better seal for a refrigerator so that I donāt have to clean it with a chopstick and a paper towel.
It also pisses me off that āFridgeā has a d and āRefrigeratorā doesnāt.
i guarantee the engineer proposed a functional solution but somebody in finance said to ācut the costā or āwe wonāt make a profitā.

The functional solution is to build an assassin robot and take care of that finance person. Iāll poison them in a heartbeat if it needs to be done.
Accountants are the natural enemies of engineers. Both like math, but one uses it for good and one for evil.
Donāt tempt with a good time of building an assassin robot. Given how realistic the robots Japan & Korea are producing are, I say we are not actually that far away from real life terminator, or least a Hitman avatar controlled from a saferoom somewhere.

Speaking of shitty things about kitchen equipment, the oven in my studio āapartmentā 1) doesnāt have a temperature reading 2) has a broken seal, so I literally have no idea what the internal temp is
really puts a damper on my pastry ambitions despite a willing pool of taste testersā¦
What I really want rn in terms of kitchen equipment is one of those liquid nitrogen spray guns dermatologists have
If I ever get a commercial esque kitchen, Iām going to take the ācooking is chemistryā thing literally and use lab equipment
