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).

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…

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.

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…

Buc-ee’s.

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…

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).

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).

Second that!  My trainer introduced me to Zercher squats when I had trouble with regular front squats - the barbell kept rolling off of my shoulders and ultimately ended up in my elbows anyway, so he just rolled with it.  I also have trouble getting the bar far back enough on my shoulders to do regular squats, so when…

How to tell us you’re an incel without actually telling us you’re an incel.  

Well, then...do it just for you, and don’t share.  I won’t judge.  Guessing neither will Claire.  

So, of course, you also log your workouts using sidereal time, right?  None of that prime meridian rubbish.  

Beyonce would approve.  To the left!  To the left!  

My wife and bought these (unlocked) a few weeks ago to replace our ailing S9's, and we’re happy with them. We’re even happier with the combination trade-in money we got for said S9's, and an ADP perks-at-work deal, bringing the price of each phone down to $400, plus some free accessories (wallet case, Qi charger, and…
