The Off Topic

I was walking through Costco recently and realized that emergency foods have gone mainstream. Prepping isn’t just for preppers any more. Some food tubs include a variety of products, but then there is this: $120 for 28 pounds (12.7 kilos) of mac & cheese.

I pity the :poop: after eating this for weeks on end.

OMG. I just found my old adjustable dumbells, and am working my 66 year old arms with about 16 pounds each because I wasn’t ready for 25. Much different than going to the gym and using a machine, but gyms are notorious for C-19 transmission. I am a gurly-man. I used to do much better, but my upper body was never anything to brag about.

You can always use an Lcdx if you can’t find your dumbbells

You two need to learn Chris Cuomo’s methods. Superhuman I say. He had video. VIDEO!

I love it. My Dad has a “special” yardstick to measure the fish he catches.

Sumo or conventional? Mixed or overhand?

I’m a recovering crossfitter, conventional and mixed. Raw, no straps. I do need to work on overhand because I’m too used to mixed.

I’ve never believed in mixed. I don’t lift for max though. If I can’t lift using a more typical or “natural” technique than I leave it be.

Never deaded much over 4 myself. I need to get back into powerlifting. Im just happy with a 1000lb total. No lofty aspirations for me.

I got a good home gym with a cage and all that so I can’t even use the pandemic as an excuse. I picked up a forearm injury which made a lot of lifting difficult. I got a safety squat bar to take some pressure off but I have to get used to it as it’s a weird squat hybrid: middle between front and back squat which my back has to get used to.

I’m on a big weight loss journey right now. So cardio is my main thing even though I hate it. Lost over 40lbs so far. Once I meet my goal weight it’s back to lifting. Hopefully by spring.

I’ve worked hard to finally be able to wear these headphones for a little longer than 20 minutes.
