RANT: R.I.P. Tyrbolift

[Farley1324]

What's your take on the difference between 5x5's?

They are completely different programs.

[im2manly]

Ambulance chase much?

Nay, but I can get a referral fee

[GeneralSerpant]

They are completely different programs.

Well yes, that's actually what I was trying to ask you about, but I suppose it is a topic of its own. Anyhoo my original point wasn't really to indicate that specific workouts or the more broad concept of 5x5 was ineffective, but just my own challenges as far as following through with that or really any programs that I'd take up due to reluctance or otherwise inadequate etiquette with exercises, or maybe rest and pacing.

At one point in recent past, I was doing 5 sets of 5 to progress significantly with incline DB press in particular, but I wasn't following a prescribed workout, just focusing on progressing all my chest exercises with a primary focus on that one in particular. If I felt warmup or proceeding accessory exercises were doing me wrong, then I toned them down a bit.

There were a handful of factors that I had developed leading up to that, but idunno, form and pacing were probably most important for me.

Same difference in my book, counselor.

Anyways, what's everybody's plan for Christmas cooking? I thought it'd be a good idea to check up early with you guys to avoid doubling up on food porn, 'cause that's not really fun for anyone.

How much have you made in referral fees?

Anyways, what's everybody's plan for Christmas cooking?

I'm sure the women will do another fantastic job this year.

[GeneralSerpant]

How much have you made in referral fees?

Like 30 or 40 dollars.

Alright well I'll make sure not to post pictures of that myself.

The rant has been steadily declining each year for some time, but look at how drastic it's stalled since the last fantasy football post 12 months ago! Last match was on page 81, dec 26th, 2016!

You're best off not to set foot anywhere near the kitchen during any Christmas or XMAS eve, that's their turf, you're not welcome. It would be like one of them heading downstairs with a Brandy wanting to "play a hand", or throw some dice.

That's some pretty socially regressive banter you're dishing out, Orlando1234977... You might be able to make a pass like that in your own household, but that kinda offsides mindset is pretty discriminatory. We try to tackle these personal fouls to make everybody feel inclusive.

Besides, I will be cooking my rib roast on a BBQ, and I don't even have a man cave.

Are you insinuating that your victories are too much for the Rant to handle?

I didn't say anything about victories, closing ffb also closed the thread. Have fun in the kitchen

[Bodybuild3]

Wanted to stop in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hope you have all been well.

[GeneralSerpant]

Dom, Christmas has passed for you by now. How was it?

Not a creature was stirring. Not even a mouse.

Spent nearly all of the day flying solo. Played guitar for about 4 hours.

Being absolutely truthful here — I've never been bored in my entire life. I always find something to do and I end up running out of time rather than sitting there counting down the hours. So I have to say I enjoyed it.

I tend to lean towards this as well. Back in my day we found our own ways to entertain ourselves and most games were our own inventions. We didn't get a new video game everyday. Just noticed we're up to 3 degrees, gotta love that afternoon sun!

I'll buy that for a dollar.

I personally think it's more telling that the Warriors started winning after I left.

What do you think of Buddhism as a personal practice?

That's a lot of guitar practice. #Playfreebird.

Anyways, so the X-Mas rib roast. I used the snake method on the Weber kettle w/ pecan wood blocks about 6 inches apart. It was a 2x1 row with briquettes stacked at about 45 degrees. Between the wood blocks, there would be a briquette on top of the 2x1. I set the snake up from 2 o'clock to 10 o'clock (maybe 3 to 9), and used about half of it, and the roast took about 200 minutes. The chamber thermometer that came with the kettle said that the cooking temp was 235 degrees, which is pretty cool considering I've never monitored the cooking temp.

Only problem is that when I put it in the oven at 450 to sear it, my brother insisted at the last minute that we leave it in longer so that it'd be safe for his kids to eat. While I've cooked a delicious roast on the kettle to 120 (w/ oven finish to sear it), I decided to go give or take 125 to make it easier to carve. At 124 he aired on the safe side, so I'm like no big deal really, but I wasn't gonna take it out at 126 like he was saying. Him crowding the oven, I told him it was at 127 and he said to let it cook a little more, to which point I started to make a scene about it as you do. Of course the 200 minute roast came out medium with browning towards the center, but was tender at parts.

Need an attorney?

M got one for her accident, Big Red went to the Audi yard in the sky back in June. She totaled a new J33P with red. She lawyered up. Dealing with goddamn MFing insurance companies blows goats!! I'm lawyering since the insurance co has been dicking me around over the $7000 worth of medical bills. See ya in court.

A shame what they did to your rear license plate. Wrecking your car, then spray painting all over it that much..

How is the ranch otherwise?


Ambulance chase much?

Yea, if I ever find the fukn assmuppet that painted that plate, his ass is mud. We're all good here, recovering from accidents and such. If he doesn't go on the offensive hunting business he's not much of an attorney in my book.

[GeneralSerpant]

Well he wouldn't be much of a salesman at least.

+ hope the Big Ten cleans house in these bowl games. min. 6 wins.
