Ah, my one post outside the rant for the day:

Where's that 405 video son? I ain't looking through past post cause I wanted to add a post and ask for it even though it's probably really easy to locate.




Edit: Already found it and watched it....spotter was USELESS didn't even help on the lift off. And who the heck was the dude in the blue hat, he stretched for the first 3 mins of the video almost back behind you.

Kaboom. Also, I put very little trust in spotters. Getting one that doesn't put his hands on the bar is hard enough, having some dependency on a lift off would just exacerbate it.

I won't give you a lift off, but I sure as hell would tea bag your ass while making that lift.

you made all of them look easy..... thank God too lol your spotter was worthless as hell.

Outstanding?

[theshoupguy]

anyone have any good recipe sites? not the sites that have sh*tty recipes.

I just search google for whatever food I happen to be in the mood for. A lot of the time, allrecipes.com is one of the top results with hundreds of good reviews.

If you'd like, I could give you my chili recipe. It's pretty bangin and will provide warmth to your jibbly parts.

[GREENFEATHER]

I use all recipes as well. LOTS of good info on that site.

Wouldn't fly in Texas, but it's the type of stuff that kept my family warm during Minnesotan winters.

2lbs ground beef, browned, grease drained
Beans, drained & rinsed: 1 can kidney, 1 can black, 1 can red, 1 can pinto (Bush's "chili beans")
2 can black beans (with liquid)
1 large purple onion, diced
2 large green peppers, diced
1.5 cup corn (optional)
20oz tomato puree
20-30oz stewed tomatoes

Dump it all into a 6-7qt crock pot, then add spices (imprecise measurements because f that noise):
Make crock-pot-diameter-length line with garlic powder
Make two aforementioned diameter length lines of chili powder
Couple shakes of garlic salt
3 shakes dried basil
4 shakes dried parsley
5 shakes dried oregano
half spoonful of cinnamon (yarly)
couple cranks of black pepper
Squirt two large circles of Sriracha
Bonus: throw in 2-3 fresh jalapenos, diced

Mix and let cook for 8 hours.

Will be super thick, but have great flavor and texture.
Obviously really heavy on the beans, so prepare to tear up a bathroom a few hours later.

Let me blow your mind briefly...it has been my experience when making chili that the best method to "add heat" is to dice/cut the peppers (with seeds) and cook them with the meat as I brown it. Also looks like a sexy recipe will save it and give it a try.

Haven't tried that yet, but I certainly wouldn't turn down the idea. Next batch.

I'd tea bag you too buddy, I'd tea bag you too. <3

ladies and gents you will be pleased to know that im2manly will be on the road once more by tomorrow afternoon!

Also you know what is fuking weird? the cop impounded my car for expired registration but didn't give me a ticket or anything (I guess it was b/cI wasn't driving it). SRS, the cops didn't get paid at all...just this tow truck place.

Maybe the towing company gives them a percentage of the fees you have to pay.

[Farley1324]

Maybe they just wanted to make sure you registered your car in order to be in compliance with the law.

You're practically doing a floor press on lift off. Watching it again, the bar moves close to a foot on lift off. Compare it to Spoto who moves it about an inch with the help of a spotter.

You might as well tack on half a rep and say you pressed 405 x 1.5.

lol yea ok. He probably just felt like a dick, he was pretty apologetic when I got out there.

Are you just giving away ammunition for the next "I'm tall and I can't bench waaaa" thread? Think of the unracking ROM alone! Spoto works out at a huge gym and with other people. So he gets a good lift off from an adjustable power rack, I don't want the hassle. I'm sure it makes a difference, it would make an even bigger difference if I had an exaggerated arch that I would lose via my stupidly awkward way of doing it.

EDIT: Speaking of Spoto, I'll repost it here.



Watch the whole thing people. PS: I'm just about as good as that creed guy and I'm not on the sauce. SUCK IT, BEST 275 AND BEST BENCHER IN THE WORLD!

Hopefully they're not lurking. But seriously, unracking the bar was practically half the lift.

No way to quantify it without actually doing it but there's no doubt in my mind if you had a proper bench and spotter combo going on like him, along with more of an arch, you'd be pressing more than 405. It makes sense to keep going the way you are because you're comfortable with it.

re: new Spoto video, I saw that. Great to watch. I wasn't BSing the other day when I said I wanted to train bench again. Not for a 1RM, but for reps with a decent amount of weight. Videos like that make you want to bench.

I maxed out on Hammer Strength a while back so it's tough to get stronger when you're doing 8+ reps on everything, and beyond a certain point DBs become more of a circus act than a test of strength. I'd never bench with the smith, only OHP, so going back to a barbell is the logical choice.

It would be fun to follow your progress. We've discussed the risk that goes along with it back in the old days, I still think it's manageable. If you know how to set up your upper back, where to put your shoulders and don't take too wide a grip(don't have to go all KK with it, but a slightly closer grip will sometimes put you in a stronger position, my grip is relatively close for my reach) it cuts a lot of the reasons people get hurt completely out.

to All haters: I bought the new Adele song, Skyfall - the James Bond theme. If I had met Adele when I was single, and if she were single as well, and if she was not fat or English, and looked like Amy Adams or Cuthbert (or both), I feel like something could and would've happened between us.

i very much dislike adele. i do like the skyfall theme song. what annoys me the most about it is not that adele sings it, but that they released it before the movie. seriously. a big part of what i enjoy about the bond films is the opening title sequences, and i feel like some of that experience has been taken from me. not happy, jan.

Oh, come on. Just because she's fat doesn't mean she can't sing.

the fat lady has sung. it's over.

LOLOLOL......repped!!

and just where have you been? what sort of time do you call this, anyway?

anyone have any good recipe sites? not the sites that have sh*tty recipes.

Wait, what?

There is no race next weekend, which is the 20-21.

There is one this weekend and it's in Korea.

I dunno, then. Some race. My coworker's girlfriend bought tickets, but then is stuck having to work over the weekend that it is happening. He told me about a race over that weekend and I quickly associated it with my birthday (easy way to remember). I believe he said Formula 1, but he was probably over-generalizing. I'll find out more information I guess. I'll let you know when i got more details.

I dunno. I'm only a few pages in. I thought it was a joke at first, but ??

I think it was obvious those guys weren't joking. Which makes them even more sad and pathetic.

This is a first. No one has been accused of e-blowing me before. Frankly, i am pretty damn surprised it was TAAB of all people. I really thought it would have been Farley. I guess beggers can't be choosers.

Lawlz ^that.

I like that idea. Never did it before.

Oh NOOOOO!!!

[strongforgood]

That looks very good, will try! I usually make my chili without beans, but like it either way. Cinnamon is a good idea. For a really good chili powder, Pendery's sells one called "Terlingua Won Chile Blend" that is awesome.

You may be going to the DTM race at Hockenheim. Which is on the 21st.

Could be it.


I'm definitely down for that.


I'm thinking so. 19-21st is the races at Hockenheim ring. I think that was the dates my buddy told me.

[adamdavidson47]

You guys should be having a field day with this thread, I'm disappointed.
