    Yeah I wasn’t sure if the upper west coast was good for surfing. I don’t think the east coast is good for that but I could be wrong.
    The ocean freaks me out so I don’t know much about it. I’m more of a sit by the ocean with a beverage kinda person.

    I own hand guns for personal carry and defense. I’ve got hunting guns too but those really just sit in the closet. Personal defense is my big issue. I’m actually not a fan of just going to a range to shoot. Not unless its Dragon Man out in CO and I can bring out machine guns or plink with a 50 cal.

    Yeah the caffeine will screw up my workout. Thats why I’m too scared to try preworkout.

    I can't function without caffeine at the gym. My other supplements don't magically give me energy, believe it or not :)

    All that pre-workout stuff is bad for you.

    If you can’t hit it hard naturally, just have a little coffee before your workout. That’s what I do sometimes. No need to be a stimulant monkey

    I think you guys are strange. The gym is my place of worship. I can be having such a shit day but when I walk in that place none of that matters. I’m pumped just to be there.

    I have bad days like anyone but its rare for me not to be excited to workout.

    You’d have to peel me off the ceiling if I was any happier to be there.

    But I’m hyperthyroid and ADHD... sugar high kids be looking at me like I need to calm da fuck down.

    There are some out there that are low in caffeine. Bad ones really load up the stimulants. Most of them use beta aline I think as the primary energy enducing ingredient.

    The east coast surf can be insanely good, but it's only good for a few days at a time then its flat for weeks to months. Depending where on the east coast, the water can be miserably cold too (NY, NJ), the Carolinas are warm but inconsistent surf, same with Florida. The ocean is my favorite place for a workout. No better feeling than a surf.

    For shooting I typically just go to the desert and shoot. Not a fan of paying some range to be allowed to shoot my gun and ammo I already paid for. Although there are some nice ranges but I dont have anything that long range to bother with.
    See above. Ocean is my absolute favorite. All it takes to fix a bad day is a paddle out in to the ocean. Even if the waves suck, just paddling out clears the mind. A solo surf sesh has helped me through some shit numerous times.

    I typically go with a caffeine pill and a pump pre, I have some stimulant I am using up but I rotate it. Believe me, I am excited to be there... after doing what I do to myself... the food... the shots... etc... I FINALLY GET ONE HOUR TO PUT ALL THAT TO USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. I am living for that 1 hour. But, I like to extra live with pump pre and caffeine.

    Yes, more gun rights, federal legalization of hallucinogenic substances, and national acceptance of green energy. The idea is to scramble their political views, thus destroying their identity. Or, you could divert the Colorado river, but that could cause the problems to metastasize to the rest of country in search of resources.

    The concept is really simple - you don't eat. Doesn't take a genius to do the math: 0=0. The discomfort will make you a better person.

    Its not out of a desire, its out of necessity. That many people in one area requires a degree of creativity to keep alive.

    Any of you guys try old vintage preworkout?
    https://www.oldschoollabs.com/products/vintage-blast/

    This is what I prefer. Its simple, good science behind all the ingredients, it gets me over the edge so I can get my workout in. Nothing in it that does hard or is poorly studied. Good long term safety for folks taking these ingredients regularly. Its mainly various amino acids and caffeine.

    Maybe just acquaintances then. I like a broad spectrum of news. With all the fiber I eat, I shit several times a day. I gotta have my reading material. You ready for the list? I read NPR as soon as my alarm goes off (the blue screen light wakes me up), then I listen freedom radio while cycling to the hospital (this is all the conservative fox news crew), and I read the wall street journal while pooping and sometimes NPR as new stories come in. I feel more educated after listening to all sides. I am a moderate person politically speaking, and I haven't found a news source for moderate people so I educate broadly. Plus it helps me understand the opinions influencing my crazy friends on the fringes.

    I do like to say provocative things to you because I enjoy the response... RECESSION COMING!
