The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Ha my dad's got 3 AR's and we never shoot them. They're fun once or twice, but after that, it just gets loud and expensive...but, if I were in CA, I'd want a closet full of them to fend off the crazies.

 

lol I had a sirloin last night.

 

That reminds me... Don't go to Olive Garden. Went there last night expecting better italian food than my local NY Pizza&Pasta, ordered the same type of pizza, looked and tasted like it came out of a walmart freezer. Girlfriend's Salmon was awful also, I tasted it towards the end of dinner and commended her for having eaten the rest of it with a straight face. And Zach, triple post ftw

Unrelated: When I say "Uh... Sweet tea." The waiter thinks I say "Unsweet tea".

Fitness related: Used up my cheat day on crappy food

 

We've got an Olive Garden here, but ours is great. In Georgia, you don't have to distinguish between sweet or unsweet. Tea is sweet tea, no exceptions

 

I miss this from back home. Stupid Alaska

 

No no, I didn't say that I said tea and they assumed unsweet. I said "Uh, sweet tea" and they heard "UNsweet tea"

I'm sure my food would have been better if I had actually ordered a real item... Its just that a different italian place that pizza was AWESOME. Some restaurants have things like that just as a filler for kids, I guess Olive Garden here is like that. That's one thing about chains, you can never be sure of service. Family owned, however, They usually all perform the same.

 

Yeah, I got it. I was just saying that unsweet tea around here usually isn't even an option lol. You can't beat family owned, but I guess we got lucky with our Olive Garden here b/c it's off the chain

 

Oh ok. And yeah I wouldn't go very often anyway, too expensive!
(Says me, as I spend hundreds on non-functional modifications to a truck)

 

A waiter told my family that olive garden uses freezer meals for most everything. They just heat it up. I don't care though...still delish. Plus I can try and clean them out of bread sticks everytime.

 

As I was reading that, I was like, "I don't even give a fuck." It's so good. They sell their Italian dressing at Sam's Club and we stock up every time we go.

 

i saw that on thechive. Funny as fuck.

 

I started the paleo diet last week and its going well! not that anyone cares or asked but I thought I would share!
hope I don't lose much muscle

Ty

 

Uh you wont lose muscle so long as you intake the right amount of protein. Only thing you should lose is fat. Be prepared for a loss of energy as your body cries out for carbs, but that goes away and you feel normal again.

On fiya!

did keto once....never again

 

I just spotted a dude on a 1100 lb leg press. I asked him what I needed to do b/c I've never spotted someone on leg press before and he said, "If I get stuck, I'm gonna let it down and I want you to pull me the fuck outta here." I was a nervous fucking wreck, but he did 8 or 9 reps of it.

 

Isn't there some kind of bar/catch that the person could deploy to keep it from dropping all the way down? Something like this:

 

"If I die, tell my wife you killed me"

 

Probably... but let Darwinism work its magic. Makes more room in the gym.

 

Yeah, but once you get past a certain spot, you can't use the hand ones...There's a stop bar that keeps it from crushing you, but it's so low that it crushes you anyway

Yeah, I was a nervous wreck lol
