Isn’t that nice?

The hating is not directed at the boat shoes.

That’s my personal philosophy. Yolks add flavor. I don’t really see the benefit of eliminating them. The fat and cholesterol in them really isn’t bad for you. Sure, you could eliminate some calories that way, but a totally yolkless omelette? Not a fan. (At the very least, use egg beaters, which have some flavor and…

Into the bewbs, clearly

You’re bashing oatmeal but advocating an egg white omelette?

Why? There’s really not much of a difference between the two. They’re both starchy vehicles requiring water and mix ins to impart flavor.

If you use steel cut oats (aka Irish oats), it works. I can’t imagine doing it with instant/rolled oats, however.

Exactly, not much different than grits.

In seriousness, though, it is a genius business model - create a putative “safe space” for people who aren’t serious about working out, are just starting out, or who are self conscious, so they sign up in droves (but are unlikely to continue coming to the gym).

A lot of it is crap. A lot of it is very useful (whey, casein, creatine).

This needs more stars. To put whey and casein in the same bucket as other supplements is a disservice.

This is a good piece. For anyone interested in the utility of various supplements, this is a good video (Dr. Mike knows his shit):

Chicken breast and egg whites will get you there if you don’t want to use powders (i.e. high protein, low fat and carb). Whey is useful because it’s quick digesting for use during a workout (don’t want to be chowing down on chicken breast). Powders in general are also useful in terms of expedience.

Your law professors actually handed out pragmatic advice?

Thank you. Came here to make the same comment. I love bath sheets. Of course, I’m an asshole, so I still steal my wife’s to cover my shoulders.

Co-sign on split squats. Was waiting for someone to mention them.

Certainly work on building some traps, but in the interim, the same advice/concept will work - use whatever upper back/shoulder meat you’ve got to grip the bar (even if it’s not a lot, everyone has some). The bend the bar cue is a good way to get your elbows down (as elbows flaring backwards causes you to pitch…

Honestly, I think that there’s way too much attention given to the high bar/low bar dichotomy. I’m a powerlifter, albeit a rather mediocre one (competing in either 242 or 275 class, my best meet squat is 500 and best gym squat is 525) and a lot fewer powerlifters than you might think use a true low bar position. I…

The bar isn’t really resting on your spine. You should be using your shoulder and upper back musculature to “grip” the bar and hold it in place. Stand in front of the bar, grip it strong, and “pull” yourself under while contracting your traps. Dig your traps into the bar hard while staying tight throughout. “Bend” the…

Another simple way to do it, which I’ve seen suggested for powerlifting (which also has some crazy weight cuts), is simply to weigh the competitor again right before the competition (i.e. right before he steps into the Octagon/ring)- if he’s a certain percentage over his weigh-in weight (suggesting a massive cut and…
