yes!

[GuinnessStrong]

Fam thread is for beer. Tonight I've had: Bell's Double Cream Stout, Otto's Apricot Wheat, Michelob Amber Bock, Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, Founder's Breakfast Stout. I am now out of everything but Michelob and am suddenly depressed.

Very happy to see Greg Panora coming back. He was super helpful to me in the past and a super nice guy. Can't wait to see what he ends up doing

So I'm placing my band order with Elite FTS. Gonna go with one of the sets since going over $40 makes it free shipping and a bit cheaper overall. Which set do you think is better?

Long Band Set - $75
(2) Strong
(2) Average
(2) Light
(2) Mini Bands

Mixed Set - $80
-2 Pro Monster Mini bands
-2 Pro Mini bands
-2 Pro Micro bands
-2 Pro Light bands
-2 Pro Short Mini bands

I know Thom recommended monster minis as well for benching. Thinking I could add on 1 monster mini to the 1st set and it'd be $80. Or just go with the 2nd set if that is the better deal.

Last band question I swear! lol

why you no listen to me...

I also suggest the mixed set, not only are strong bands rarely used in raw lifting at our respective levels, but the mini and monster minis are extremely useful for bench, and the lights and monsters are effective for squats. Plus it gives you the option to loop shorts for DL. I picked up minis, monster minis, and lights when they were 40% about 2 months ago. Haven't worked up to the lights yet but so far I've seen a huge improvement in my bench and squat using the other 2 pairs...

You sure stay up late, is it hard getting in protonz as a veggie without having 6-8 scoops of protein a day?

What about it?

You are not allowed to use bands until you high squat and bench press with your butt off the bench as much as LIME does. Going vegetarian and growing out the jew fro are optional.

Arian was better.

What's sad though is twice now trying to say Arian is mediocre has actually been a complement to him....

[GuinnessStrong]

Is three days off enough time off after a Strongman? Haha I'm so ****ing bored.

If you feel up to it go for it. Nothing set in stone on how much time you need off.

You guys are too nice in your disses/hating. Gotta come up with something better. Having a weaker squat than me doesn't really help your cause either.

Nice! Supposed to be a very solid and stable 0 drop squat shoe. Surprised EFS stopped carrying them.

Squatting is never a bad idea.

Logged into this place on my pc for a change, looks weird, I prefer the mobile version, on the right "Action Items" - I can see I haven't updated the size of my biceps lol. I have no use for that feature but I can see how some would luv it.
