It’s called a sumo deadlift. Supposedly better for people with shorter limbs.

Nice!

KEEP GOING!!! That lift is awesome! Our friend’s daughter in law squated 600 pounds this past weekend at a pro-am. She didn’t do it overnight. Neither will you. Just keep going.

Absolutely correct. I rushed 500 lbs, twisted slightly on the lockout and felt something pop and tear in my abdomen. Three years later I’m still injured with pain that wakes me up at night. Cat scans, MRI, ultrasound; doctors can’t figure out whats wrong with me.

That crazy stuff i have is wrapped in paper towels and sealed in a ziploc bag. Even touching the bag can ruin your day if you don;t wash your hands at least once.

Please change your username here. I am not sure if you’re a Toast or a MostToast. It’s quite misleading to me.

I threw my bottle out when I moved because it scared me so much I refused to go near it. True story.

MY current goal is to ass to grass squat 200lbs. I just did 195 last night. I have been working on this goal for almost a year. I have had a lot happen on the way to this goal: I tweaked my knee so that it constantly cracks now and needed to rehab that(still cracks and pops but no pain), changed jobs, my son was born,…

Good ‘ol Dave’s Insanity. I think that’s what started the whole hot food thing. It’s pretty tame compared to what’s out there nowadays. It’s 180,000 scoville units, whereas many are well above a 1,000,000. I have one that’s 3,000,000. It’s pure pain. It’s hellfire. I’ve had the bottle for 7+ years because you can only…

I’ve had one sauce about 3 times as hot and one about 5 times as hot as Dave’s Insanity. First one was a good solid bit of a wing covered in the stuff to be able to say I had tried it at a restaurant I was working at which sold wings slathered in the stuff. The second one was essentially on a dare and was nothing…

Ugh, I had that happen once after I chopped a relatively large quanitity of jalapenos very finely for a party. Even after washing my hands several times, I really felt it when removing my contacts hours and hours later!

One more bit of advice for everyone, scrub those hands before taking out your contacts. The solution does nothing to temper the spice, and there’s almost nothing worse than unexpectedly pepper-spraying yourself first thing the next morning.

Capsaicin can also make you feel like you’re high. When your mouth’s pain receptors are activated, they cause your body to release dopamine and endorphins (you have these receptors in your butt, too).

The worst I’ve ever had...

I got some Thai food one night and told them spice level 1, well they loaded that sonofabitch down with spice and I was too cheap to throw it away and too lazy to drive back. Anyways, that absolutely wrecked my stomach that whole night and next day. Needless to say, those pain receptors in my butt were firing like…

Ah, but how to you relieve the “Morning Glory*” effect the next day?

* When you take your daily constitutional and those pain receptors in your butt, fire off.

I enjoy spicy food, but not painfully hot foods.
Give it enough zing to make it interesting without taking from the flavor of the food.

On other thing to remember for the guys... If you eat spicy food with your hands wash your hands before hitting the urinal...

Did you watch the game? It doesn’t sound like you did.
