The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

I would add Coke Zero.

Cherry Coke Zero.

You mad?

Yeah, it seams offensive. Like taking a good steak and pouring ketchup on it. The only time I would add booze to anything is coffee, but that's a traditional thing.. or in a recipe but not as a drink.

Check out the new 2013 pendlay. Otherwise the baf from like quest or those Wei rui seem to get better reviews in the long term.

Snaps, understood benevolent mod.



Must be from KY to be a bourbon. That whiskey is trolling you.

If you want to cool your whiskey down without diluting it, pick up some whiskey stones.

Is it worth the price?

I know bud, I'll have to do some research on it. We're close enough to the border to make it possible I reckon.

Edit: Just found an article, I always thought it had to be distilled in KY as well

Before you post the comment, yes, it is legally and technically bourbon. Conventional wisdom says that that bourbon must be made in Kentucky and aged for a certain number of years, but conventional wisdom has a tendency to be incorrect.

For a spirit to be a bourbon, it must be:

Made in the United States
More than 51% corn
Aged (for any length of time) in new charred-oak barrels
Bottled at more than 80 proof

Get you a La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero cigar to go with it. That's what I would do.

I've had the 2011 Do-Wins for almost 2 years and haven't had any issues out of them. I just recently changed the shoe laces for the first time. I'm mirin the 2013's so I might pick those up.

Most likely shipped over since it wouldn't be too far of a drive. I use to drive by the Wild Turkey and Jim Beam distillery all of the time when I lived in KY.

I've never seen those Bourbon requirements before.

I've got a few Olivas in the box that I may break out later.

where the fuk are those pics you promised?

Don't encourage her.

Hey Erick...



rofl best present

[NC_Tarheel]

Nice

You caught me off guard with the old lady. I'm guessing she seduced you while you were lifting.

She did...it sucks being married to a nympho (so so so so not srs )

The new black rehband pants are teh suck. Mine pasted six months before they started dying. They're still wearable, but the channel for the draw string came apart, they have runs all over. Just not good quality. I got my knee sleeves at the same time, and they're not even a little worn out.

I got the blues...they rock

This looks pretty cool but $200 damn

My buddy made a loadable KB handle with scrap metal.

it's basically an upside down triangle on top, rod going down with pin in the bottom

Lulz at the gym rape. I hope my Rehbands get here soon! That loadable kettlebell sounds pretty cool.

Serious liquor is serious!

[austin.j.taylor]

best things to wear while lifting ever. I will never squat without them again.

[getout87]

best place to buy rehbands?

yeah, i know these feels.

[dannyautrey]

Knee sleeves are more important for squatting than shoes or a belt. Come at me.

[Jason2459]

Only place.

I would say belt > shoes > sleeves

I have the vulkan version and they are awesome for squats, but I don't like them for deadlifts.

[Fivefootkillerz]

I just bought wei rui contenders for 60$
8-12 days or something like that is the delivery time

My first pair of rehband shorts ripped on the first day I used them. Brad sent me a pair the same I day I emailed and had my new pair in two days. Their customer service is amazing.

Agreed totally. Rehband sleeves and shorts>>>>>>>belt or shoes. I havent used a belt to squat in months now.

I would say belt > shoes > sleeves

I used to be addicted to my belt and I havent been using it and I really like the feel of beltless squats even at over 90%.

I wear Rehbands for squats and just some compression shorts for deadlift.

[NC_Tarheel]

I don't like to squat in them...they prevent me for hitting depth..... (see what I did there )


But seriously, I don't like them because even though they give awesome warmth, they tend to pull my knees inward when I go into the hole. It's like I have to fight to track over my toes instead of it happening naturally.

[dannyautrey]

Really? I love lifting in mine, except that I can't do it in comp. Do t know about anyone here, but I get nothing out of rehband shorts except warmth.

I used to use them all the time but I stopped when I started prepping for my first PL meet since you couldn't use them and it just felt much better....idunno

[LegosInMyEgos]

Can't wait for my home gym to finally get set up.... sooooo soooon.

[ErickStevens]

I got my Rehbands on Amazon.

i can see that.
and I'm a fan of "practice how you play".

Absolutely.

I hope mine don't rip. I won't use my belt until I get to around 365 on squat, unless I feel like ****. I still prefer how my belted squat feels when I'm @90% or ^.

Absolutely.

I might have to try, even though it will take me 2 years to drink it all.

[austin.j.taylor]

I hope mine don't rip.

I would wear them around for awhile prior to lifting in them. I got mine, took out of package, put on, then squatted for a ton of volume. I am not saying that I caused the rip, but with the second pair I broke them in a little and havent had any problems.
