The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part X

[Big.Jazayrli]

(1) Frat guys call their frat a frat, what other name is there
(2) I didn't discuss pledging, did I get my ass beaten? No...
(3) Its different for each fraternity, believe me when I say that...some make you do ****gy time sh!t and others are more physical, some are more substance based, others are drill-type, etc depends on the fraternity and its background

1: It's called a fraternity. It doesn't need another shortened name. While in slang some may refer to it as a frat, people with knowledge/understanding of the Greek system know that's a disrespectful term associated with a negative image.

The other points I'm neither here nor there about.

Point taken, my college has a small greek life here (less than 5% of students) and its not a huge deal on whether to say frat or fraternity.

As for the other points, just letting everyone with an outside perspective who haven't had exposure to greek life because of personal choice and the like know that there is a broad spectrum of fraternities and with that their means of bringing pledges into the brotherhood.



In lifting news, going for a DL PR in about 6 hours, hoping to get 475 and hit 500 before requiem

if you get 500 i'm going to have to put my TM progress on hiatus and pull 5 more pounds than you. however you still will have technically won the race

[adamsz]

Holy chit...

Did prowler work for the first time ever tonight after work. Mother of god... What have I gotten myself into.

What started as sprints with 90lbs quickly evolved into pushes with 90 lbs.

Dat feel of metal in your mouth. Dat feel of panting like you just ran away from something like your life depended on it. Dat feel collapsing on the floor at the end for a solid 5 minutes. Brings back memories of popwarner football in 5th grade...

I thought I had pretty good conditioning from doing super high volume work on Sheiko, but this is on a whole new level.

ITT ppl think being in a fraternity matters.

ITT ppl think competing at a national meet that doesn't have a qualifying standard matters

ITT I'm here all night. Come at me

My max is 460 right now, doubt I'm in any condition right now to pull more than 480, but next week I am deloading during finals and after wards should see some PRs

I just want to beat you to 500 so I can break 1100 lol

Matters if you join for the right reasons, I've seen plenty of people waste their time and then come out of school unemployed because they stopped caring about their education.

How was shoveling the driveway?

[dannyautrey]

Wasn't bad. The nap afterwards was nice, too. Gonna do some more shoveling tomorrow. Have to tidy it up some.

480 would still be awesome. if you don't get 500 then I won't attempt a max. ireally want to get my amonia capsules in first lol. i haven't used any since my max was 405 back in August.

I was talking about Raw Nats but Judge wasn't when he made that statement. Judge and LAM compete single ply so all their national meets and expos have qualifying totals.

That is like a month later than usual. But I mean if they are gonna use the new weight classes for Raw Nats you might as well sit around 230, compete 242 in March, and then 231 in August.

Pretty much what I was thinking. If I'm 225 or under I'll probably cut for 220s but anything higher than that and I won't waste my time. The real question is - Will Stig man the fuk up and meet me in the 242s or is he going to be a skinny *******?

Slow moving Monday...payroll blows but we're closing the month on the 21st and I'm off til Jan 2nd so I'm holding out for that


Cliffs on lulzy news vid....

server trolls them and put funny message on tab
you get to see actual pics of the women
you will say "the truth hurts don't it???"

[bmontgomery87]

lulz were had. they mad.

[darren.dugan]

Save $30/month from here till then. How much do you spend on random chit you don't need and fast food or something?

Hey now, don't knock my Papa John's eating habit!

Even if Gamma Labs doesn't send me, I'll probably get my ass out there next summer. Not so much for the meet but, a fam party at Disney World or Universal would be pretty sweet.

I think I'm going to stop training fasted, have absolutely no energy in the mornings anymore. Just gonna take the deload in stride and reassess my sq/dl work, probably wont deadlift much to be honest.

lol training fasted lol

[ampUP11]

Deadlift meaning the actual movement, I deadlifted twice in the last 5 weeks which didn't help me, especially since I've been progressing so well in squat I shouldn't have tried to max...

lol training fasted lol

Old habit from my summer cut during carb cycling and then keto prior to that. Made ketosis infinitely more effective + yoh HCL

[isaku900]

lol training fasted lol

i train fasted on saturdays and sundays....

[Black_Spit]

Wat?

[TheStigIsBig]

i train fasted on saturdays and sundays....

DE days?

Don't know how you do it. I feel like death and have no strength fasted.

It isn't that bad when you get use to it. I did it for a few years and had no issues. Still do it every Saturday for event training.

Only way I could possibly manage, MAYBE is training when I wake up. So within the first hour. I did IF for a year, and even when I did that I had to eat a big preWO meal.

It used to not bother me when I was doing bro BB split, now that I've increased my workload and my sleep has gone down to about 3-4 hours a day, hit a wall. Scoop of whey and some carb pre will do the trick I think.
