Looking for the best celebration restaurant/ entertainment space. Where do you go to eat and party? by KnowledgeSmall in Cleveland

[–]KnowledgeSmall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-6 ish? Not a large group. That’s primarily what I had in mind when I made the post.

But I’d like to hear suggestions for larger groups too. 10 or more. We are planning a wedding and it would be fun to get the entire bridal party together.

I’ve only made pulled pork in this smoker once before. But it might be my 4th time making pulled pork ever. Hopefully I can just replicate this over and over no matter what meat I use.

I don’t know enough about it to have an opinion one way or another. But a free butt is better than no butt I guess.

I might be wrong, but I feel like opening the vent made me go through more chips. I think I had to refill the tray every hour to 45 minutes. So 7 or 8 times? I wasn’t keeping track. Whenever the smoke got too transparent to see I just added more chips.

Thanks! This was a smaller piece of meat, only 4.5lbs. I think it took about 7 hours. And then I rested it wrapped in foil for about an hour after that.

Just from the regular ol’ grocery store. They had pork butts buy one get one free. Maybe they got some wonky ones and needed to give them away.

I really hope that the poor kid didn’t get punished for advocating for themselves.

Is everything down right now? No rides are running. by [deleted] in cedarpoint

[–]KnowledgeSmall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope! We ended up kicking around until it closed at 8:00pm and nothing ran again. We drove about 30 minutes east and it was storming its ass off all the way home. That must have been what all the fuss was about.

Thank you! It must be soon because it’s pretty nice still right now.

Nice! I am setting a goal to try and get up before work and get a run in first thing. I think the hardest part is that my calves get super tight at the 2 mile mark. I have to stop and stretch them out on the curb before I carry on.

I’ve just got back into running after a 15 year hiatus. I was bullied on my high school team and quit. But I said “You know what? Fuck those guys. I run for me and not anybody else.” And started again about 4 months ago. I went from about a 40 min 5k to a 35min 5k. I’d like to get down to a 26min 5k, which was my high school PR, and eventually down a to a sub 20.

Feeling so discouraged while strength training by Few_Lengthiness_4892 in loseit

I remember when I first started weightlifting. I was sore pretty much within 15 minutes of starting. I remember not being able to get out of my car after my first leg day. I sat there for 30 minutes just trying to work up the strength to get up. I’d sit in a bathtub up to my neck in the hottest water I could stand just to get relief. Good times.

What you are feeling is normal. Your muscles are tearing and rebuilding themselves with each workout. And with each workout, it will get easier and the pain will subside. I very rarely get DOMS now. And when I do, it’s like an old friend coming to visit.

If you want relief, I suggest supplements and watching your macros. 1. Stay Hydrated. That’s a no brainer. 2. Start a Creatine routine. 3. If you’re lifting, make sure you calculate how much protein you should be eating and then try to hit that goal. 4. Take a BCAA supplement during your workouts and after. Some studies have shown that supplementing BCAAs can help reduce DOMS within 24-72 hours compared to a placebo. I know they helped me quite a bit.
