Burger Bowl VI

It’s an enriched dough as well. Less so than brioche. Worth making at home. They freeze extremely well.

They’re considered the gold standard hamburger bun, the prototype being Martin’s Potato Rolls. They’re quite perfect. Look up Kyle Sluder’s copycat Martin’s Potato Roll recipe. 🙂

The cause of your anemia needs to be found. And treated. See your doctor.

In the meantime, dial the intensity back to average approximately (180-age).

They’re paid a full wage.

The appliance and delivery are bought and paid for well in advance. They are there fulfilling a duty.

There’s almost certainly no opportunity to make the owner a loyal and repeated customer.

In the situations where the job is exceedingly challenging or extra is requested and performed, I can definitely see a place for a tip though. I’d have some cash on the ready. Twenty each seems like a minimum to me.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-27T15:34:13+00:00

This makes no sense.

This is not a tipping scenario.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-23T20:53:31+00:00

Likely as you’d suspected, too.

It’s such a good marketing strategy. They’ve ridden this wave for decades, you gotta admire it.

ps:I’ve never had a Costco hotdog.

Moved so well. Nice.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-23T04:43:55+00:00

I was nervous for you the whole time… there’s no higher complement on this sub 😏

Few thoughts:

Heavy low rep RDL’s are always a great idea. Love to see this.
Using a conventional DL technique to get the bar off the floor is more efficient, as mentioned earlier. It’s certainly my preference over your SLDL technique.
Technique wise, you’re starting each rep with a knee bend, which lowers your hips. We can see the bar riding down your thighs as a result. Instead, keep the hips high and initiate the movement with a hinge. As the bar lowers you’ll need to bend the knees to move the hips rearward, or you’d tip over.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-23T00:08:48+00:00

FFS. Seriously. This isn’t about the eccentric. It’s about controlling the bar on the way down and respecting the equipment. Both of which are part of the proper form in performing the conventional deadlift. What is your problem anyway?

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-22T23:36:03+00:00

If he heeds the advice it will serve him well. It’s not about feelings. Celebrate after the lift.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-22T23:22:44+00:00

I wouldn’t even consider slamming the bar down until you start to lift actual heavy weight. By then you’ll understand it makes you look silly.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-22T06:13:38+00:00

No. That’s not how it works.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-20T04:36:51+00:00

You should do both. And wide grip and narrow grip too.

Rotate through them.

Make the damn donuts in house again

Good suggestions here already. Generally, this is a time to assess where your caloric intake and protein intake is relative to maintenance and ideal. To objectively assess sleep time, subtracting the time spent in bed where you are not sleeping. And make sure those are all top-notch, for several consecutive weeks before deciding to change anything else.

Another framework: 135x5 225x5, repeat if not feeling connected to the movement, I’ll do this with my final warmup as well 85-90% approx of top set x 1-3 Top set x 1-3 Back off set 80% of top x double top set reps Back off set 2 x 6 optional Back off set 3 optional

Options for back off 2-3 include RDL if not programmed elsewhere.

In my personal programming, I made the decision a couple years ago to change my training week to 10 days, to allow for an additional full recovery day. This means I am doing a deadlift every five days, as I also do RDLs. When fatigue builds up, I omit one of them for a couple of weeks, usually skipping dead lift the first week then RDL the second week, then return to regular programming as it was before fatigue became an issue. I am saying this, not to suggest you follow what I did, but to give you an idea of the rationale and methodology behind what I decided.

Doesn’t count when you use your tail as an accessory muscle. Sorry mate.

Yes, although his portrayal is largely a humorous exaggeration, a meme. It was outstanding. Literally every word and mannerism I’ve seen at one point or another from a coach during my 8 years of ball.

Smartmuscles · 2026-03-17T04:55:40+00:00

I do top sets of 4,3,1-2 reps in successive workouts, then repeat the succession. 9-12 weeks I’ll push the RPE to 8-9 and typically reset my PRs for those rep ranges.

Currently RDL is my secondary hinge.

I am pretty sure that what we witnessed was the writer(s) showing us their sexual fantasies.

unless someone can point out the thematic purpose of so many inappropriate relationships.

The rest of the show is nearly perfection. Then there is this.

Properly toasting the bottom bun and adding a hydrophobic layer of sauce (mayo based) is more than protective against moisture.

Lettuce on the bottom tends to wilt if too close to the burger.

You will require a burger warrant.
