The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XVIII

[arn710]

Just another guy that is big and jacked for no reason?

You got a problem with that?

DPG blue and black are great, you'll like Tatuajes full line most likely. I keep my humi in the low 60s RH and never have burn problems. It takes a few years but before you know it you'll never have to reach for anything with less than a year or three of age.

I purged my humidor of all NC cigars a few years back other than gifted stuff. Yes, I'm a snob

[darren.dugan]

NC = non cuban?

[martin_mathers]

You got a problem with that?

You got a problem with me? I swear m8 I'll eat you alive cheeky kunt.

I just find it weird that someone who trains with all-time world-record holders doesn't take the advantage and put up something big in powerlifting. Or maybe he's waiting until he's world class level like Spoto did.

I believe he is referring to Non Cuban and not specifically Nicaraguan Cigars. Personally, I prefer the preparation in the Cuban style but not necessarily just because it is Cuban. The filler is more-so bunched than twisted. I get the allure of the "forbidden fruit" being in Merica but I do not put them on a pedestal just from their proximity of creation. I prefer anything dark with a nice complexity to it. After spending the last year back and forth in Miami, I have come to miss the frequent smoke. Sooo many great cigar shops here.

What's actually in it for him other than a cheap trophy of some sort and a t-shirt?

What are you talking about? I love my meet t-shirts I wear them all the time to make sure strangers know I'm an athlete not just a fatty with some muscles.

I have my fair share of CCs and NCs. I have a few go to Cubans that are above the rest IMO like partagas serie D4/P2, Monte #2, Cohiba Mads, and Vegas Robaina, but I think there are plenty of NCs that are just as good, if not better. I like variety, so I have a lot.

Yeah, then I can have thousands of a$$holes criticizing every fuking move I make.

He has a pic on his IG of fair life milk. Anyone else love that stuff? Safeways generic brand has 13g protein per cup, normal milk has 8g and a lot more sugar. I use a quart of it with two big bowls of sugary cereal (trix, lucky charms, frosted flakes, etc) and get 60+ grams of protein and less sugar than if I instead drank a bunch of milk. Loopholes? Yes pls

I love Fairlife chocolate milk. Very tasty.

You raise a good point. Negative $100 perhaps?

Erm...

I did farmer walks for the first time today, did 3 rounds behind the gym with 230lbs per hand...not sure if that's relatively heavy or not but I just want to say that I liked it and felt great afterwards, dem endorphins

That's pretty good for your first time and bodyweight. Contest?

maybe sometime towards the end of the year, an 1800 total is more important for now but if my back plays along I'll make sure to get at least one comp in sooner rather than later


just need to work on my conventional a lot since it's like 60% of my sumo max

That was quite the build up.

What are your favorite recipes for packin on dem pounds?

Been struggling to gain weight at the rate I'd like to (2-3 lbs per week), and it's mainly because I'm not eating enough. I'm not eating enough because I'm broke. I'm broke because I'm spending all of my money on fast food. Spending all of my money on fast food because I don't know how to cook anything other than chicken/broccoli/rice/pasta/ground beef.

One thing I find tastes really good and has a decent, but not insane amount of calories in it is a shake i've been making every morning.

300-400ml of milk (obviously whole milk = more calories)
2 scoops whey (using cookies n cream musclepharm one)
big spoon of peanut butter (crunchy kind is better)
a whole banana

Not sure how many calories or whatever but it's really tasty and good for getting in a bit of protein and calories.

[Hamzzza]

homemade pizza, chocolate milk

rice is good as far as price/cals ratio goes but I personally rarely eat it

you're welcome

I usually go for 500ml whole milk, 2 scoop whey, a cup or two of ice cream depending wich blender I'm using, a few oreos/ice cream sandwiches cookies, a banana for flavor and either almond butter or PB if i want to gain some weight. Soak the whole thing with chocolate syrup.

edit: also like to eat 2 tuna sandwiches. Mix 2 cans with a few tables spoon of mayo (easy 300-400 cals from mayo alone), spread tuna preparation on toasted bread, add cheese. Eat with 500ml - 1l of whole milk. At least 75g of proteins right there and quite a lot of calories.10835067_10155458590460290_7542976364996761261_o.jpg

I'm guessing this is what Mike was ranting about on fb. Well fam, I guess we're all geared lifters now.

Also, why does he always sound like hes congested and out of breath?

Who Mike?

I'm fairly new to cigars (2 months), but I'm finding I like full bodied smokes (though I can only handle about medium nicotine levels). My favorite smoke so far is Don Pepin Garcia's Blue Label with their Black Label not far behind. Currently I have about 100 cigars that I'm trying to let rest for a couple of weeks since I finally got my humidors where I want them humidity wise (for now, playing with them a bit. Currently they stay around 65-67rh and stay in the 60's for temp).

DPG blue and black are great, you'll like Tatuajes full line most likely. I keep my humi in the low 60s RH and never have burn problems. It takes a few years but before you know it you'll never have to reach for anything with less than a year or three of age.

I was about some cigars for a while, but switched to a pipe and havent looked back.

I've got a few pipes as well, but they just don't make strong enough pipe tabacco for my tastes.

Large meatlovers pizza before bed, 3-4 times per week. Burgers and burritos for lunch. Keep everything carb heavy. Protein is overrated, carbs and fat are where it's at.

Hamburger casserole, made with your choice of ground meats, macaroni noodles, spicy tomato sauce, ketchup, marble cheddar. Mix it all together in a giant pot, and shovel it in with a spoon.

I've got some, and pretty much every other 'strong' pipe baccy, but I think I smoked cigars too long before trying pipes. I love the LFD Double Ligero line. Those jokers will sit anybody down if you didn't just eat a BIG meal.

not trying to start an argument here. But why would you want to gain 2-3lbs per week???



inb4 eat moar *******. But seriously more than 1lb a week seems just like unnecessary fat gain unless you are putting on alot of water from supps.



As far as food basically everyone said what I was going to, fast food, pizzas, chocolate milk, whole milk, mac n cheese, ice cream, poptarts, oreos.

I can see that. The pipe is definitely more mild than the cigars I used to like.
