What VT said. I use the extra strength Equiblock with the “not for human use” warning on the label. works like a charm. Of course, if one were able to acquire feed receipts, they may provide other substances of a performance enhancing nature :stuck_out_tongue:

As for the bondage store: as ouroboro said, pretty much everyone at our gym uses the local bdsm supply store for simple gear alterations (more complex ones, Ginny Phillips is still the best option). They do amazing work, they’re fast and dirt cheap. I had a pair of ACE briefs taken in an inch on each side, and the sleeves of an ACE shirt taken it at the cuff. $25 CND total, they were ready 3 days later and so far not a single stitch has even thought of popping. They’re used to working with thick fabrics and load-bearing seams that, should they fail, could cause someone to get really badly injured.

C’mon man, they have free shipping. What’s not to like about that?

Do you find the linamint really works? I just eat ibuprofen like smarties.

The eye hemorrhages have me flummoxed though. I never used to get them and now, suddenly my eyes are a constant pink rash.

liniments are okay. equiblock helped me work through some elbow tendonitis.

You know you’re a powerlifter when you can say “eh, it’s only 600 pounds”

I try to avoid NSAIDS for pain, since they can be more harm than good in the long run, and I have an addictive personality and would definitely upgrade to the more powerful stuff… I swear by Equiblock for muscle and joint aches and pain. Back in January I was in a rear-ender car accident and slipped 2 disks in my back. slapped a ton of Equiblock on it every morning and night, did some decompression, and within a WEEK of the accident I was feeling well enough to train again. Pulled a 20lbs Personal record and just missed a 50lbs pr at lockout my first session back.

Free shipping? its only about an hr by public transit, I can pick it up myself! Besides, one of the chicks inside isn’t too bad to look at :wink:

As far as liniments go, has anyone used the ones on EFS and what’s the difference between the colors?

You hook grip your grocery bags.

You mow your lawn with a mixed grip.

You can’t count over 3, but you can multiply by 45 in your head.

You have the biggest quads in your gym… and the smallest calves.

You check your depth while taking a dump.

You’ve asked for a weight by colors (“gimme 3 reds and a blue”)

You’ve dropped something and gone to pick it up… in a sumo stance.

You’ve used a home depot card to buy training equipment.

You understand my screenname/licenseplate.

it makes you way cool

251

You consider applying liniment/additional wraps to be “rehab”
You can sand wood with the calluses on your hands
You used to be all to excited to answer the “why would you want to do that?!?!” questions from normals, but now don’t bother wasting your breath.

252

when your favorite youtube channel is “Epic Meal Time” http://www.youtube.com/user/EpicMealTime

when you can’t remember the last time you did a bicep curl[/quote]

So you like tearing biceps when deadlifting then? Or you just haven’t deadlifted any significant amount of weight yet? Or is it both? [/quote]

When you curl more weight than bodybuilders db press because you don’t want to look like a pussy, but use more English then a game of trick pool.

254

when you ask somebody at the gym to spot you and they respond " no…sorry, i dont feel comfortable spotting that much weight"

when the manager at the gym comes out and tells you that a picture frame just fell off the wall in his office when you are doing deadlifts.

when you can sprint a 40 yard dash in under 5 seconds with no training besides powerlifting

when you favorite workout attire is cut off sweatpants

when you’ve considered purchasing a dairy cow to save on milk expenses

if you hook grip the steering wheel on long drives

255

your hips hurt while sitting in class, and you wish were wearing briefs.

256

Not sure if its been said…

but you know you are a powerlifter when…you wonder how much pushing your hips through during sex will carryover to squat and deadlift

257

…you think your workout was a waste if you don’t go all out.
…your recovery week consists of applying Blue heat and making homo-erotic jokes without your shirt on while still going all out instead of doing your recovery sets.

"In order to make it a better flight for both of us, I talked about things I know would make him happy; Wave Loading, foam squatting, CHUCK TAYLOR’S! and extensions.
I saw him crack a smile when I lifted up my camo shorts to reveal a very loose pair of Metal briefs. My hips have been killing me lately so he understood - a lifter’s gotta do what a lifter’s gotta do.

They are Viking briefs, not Ace. I’m not stupid"

Awesome haha

When getting a nose bleed is the best surprise.

When you’re squatting and your nose starts running and you gett all excited because you think it’s a nose bleed.

You can’t possibly shit without baby wipes.

You die a little inside when some one says “idk, squatting deep seems bad for your knees”.

You’re obsessed with being bloated.

Salt is your favorite condiment.

You get PR’s by cycling mcdonalds.

You get strange looks after the gym when you stop at the store because your shirt is drenched and covered in chalk.

Shoulder distraction and spine decompression feels orgasmic after a heavy bench or squat day.

You cringe at commercial gyms.

Your GPP is carrying all your groceries without a carriage or basket.

Trying to eat like a bodybuilder lasts till lunch until you break and go to burgerking.
