Agree 100%. Single-legged Romanian Deadlifts and Bulgarian Split Squats are soooooo much easier when you add weight. Even a 10lb dumbbell or kettle bell in each hand stabilizes it big time. And while I’ve been doing body weight squats for a while and finding them surprisingly easy, converting it to a Zercher squat… Read more

Reminds me of the time I tried slicing kielbasa using a mandoline. There was...smooshage.
We have a counter top oven (Breville) with an air fryer setting, and one of the first things we tried air frying was pork belly. Read more
You had me at “agonist contraction.”
I actually like them. Have also used them to do walking lunges (that was a little trickier, especially with an olympic bar, so I switched to using a bumper plate). Read more
At this point, they’re really the only barbell squats I can do. For some reason, my shoulders are too tight for me to actually get the bar behind my head (although I keep trying).
A few years back, I had never even heard of Burrata. These days, I can go to my local H-E-B and choose from several different brands. And, living in Austin, with access to several Whole Foods stores, the BUF brand they have there is INSANELY GOOD. That, and a toasted baguette, maybe a little bit of olive oil and… Read more
I tried front squats a couple of times, and, yeah, the barbell kept rolling down my arms, no matter how hard I tried to stay straight. Drove me nuts. So, for now, my trainer has me doing Zercher squats while I work up to it. Fuck it, if the barbell wants to be in the crook of my elbows, so be it.

“What’s that white stuff on my cheese?”
It’s deliciosity, is what it is. Do not question your good fortune.
Oh yeah, when it comes to lifting, my ego died a long time ago. I take it REALLLLLY slow and with a lot of help from my trainer
The older I get, the better I get at just saying, “I will not be checking media.” I used to write this long-ass out-of-office message every time I went on vacation. Now I just say, “I’m out, and will respond to your message when I return.” Shit, I even stopped including, “I apologize for any inconvenience this may… Read more
Buc-ee’s. Read more
I do a lot of Romanian deadlifts, and they’re great (OK, so the single-legged ones are weird), but there is nothing quite like the satisfaction of executing a good-old regular deadlift, and doing it well. As someone who is slightly dyslexic, I have a hard time picking up proper form from my trainer, but when I nail… Read more
My wife makes homemade pizza about once a month, and other weeks, we use the “blank” pizza crusts we can get frozen at our local H-E-B (King of all grocery stores - fight me). Read more
I live in Central Texas (having moved here from New England 8 years ago), and I consider myself blessed to have an H-E-B in nearby Hutto, less than a mile from my house. I’m there at least 5 times a week, and it is glorious.
I only wish they would open a Central Market up here. That would be pure heaven.
Yeah, my cats are on the counters when I’m not home, so if I scream at them when they hop up, it just confuses them (and ultimately doesn’t work). Read more
