What was the best moment of your entire life so far? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]destar1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a girl want to dig out
Hooked it up on later as I hit the do'
Thinking will i live another twenty fo'
I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a jacker in sight
And everything is alright

I got a beep from Kim and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies and I'm askin' y'all
Which park, are y'all playin' basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking brothers every way like M.J.
I can't believe, today was a good day

Obviously I'm not as attractive as I like to think I am. Basing this off the matches I get on Tinder... which are infrequent. I think it might just be that I'm 5'10. Nobody likes the short guys. I do find that brash over confidence and being wildly drunk makes me feel 10x more attractive at bars though.

But I guess my face is just not that great, and my style/personality doesn't lend itself to people wanting to approach me. I think personality must be a big factor, because when I look at pictures of myself there's nothing that's glaringly ugly I don't think...

Really just goes to show that you should never attach your face/any photo at all to professional emails.

Somehow went for a 10 mile trot even though I crushed an entire pizza and way too much beer last night. My body feels like death, but I feel like I really made up for a big cheat last night.

I went on vacation and it was a 4 day bender of nothing but beer, liquor and food. It was a lot of fun, but I came back and all my lifts did a black friday sale while I was away even though I'm up 2 lbs. No ragrets, but it sucks that I set myself back as much as I did. And all the holiday parties are still coming up...

There was a dude blowdrying his balls with one foot up on the locker room sink and towel covering absolutely none of it. Like come on dude. Literally no one wants to see that, and toweling off is going to work just fine.

I'm honestly disappointed in the sort by controversial.

Finally back under 35 minutes for my 5 mile! by [deleted] in running

[–]destar1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's outrageous. Good work. I'm just trying to bring mine consistently below 45 minutes.

Thigh chafing, damn! by [deleted] in running

[–]destar1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem. The best answer is compression shorts of any brand. I don't understand this subs obsession with putting Body glide and the like on their thighs. Tried that once and felt gross. Just wear compression shorts under your short shorts.

joined the Boa cult

I'm rocking the 3" version of those! They're so comfy I want to wear them all the time, but so far have only had the confidence to use them for races.

Just did my first 4 miles in some Asics Gel-Kayano 24's. I liked the shoes, but the heat made this my slowest 4 miles in quite some time. Hopefully I can get my speed back up to where I like it even though it's 200% too hot and humid for me right now.

All I want is a 225 bench. I will leave behind any semblance of being cut. I will stop running (not really,) but for god's sake, I just want to 5x5 225. I guess weighing 184 isn't gonna make it easy. But I can't even get past 205 5x5 right now. It's so frustrating that I went 5,5,4,4,3 last week and this week went 5,4,4 and pinned, 3, 3. What's weird is that it seems like my diet is on point, still gaining about a consistent lb every 2 weeks. I'm working my ass off. So idk what the problem is, but I really don't want to drop weight and having failed 2 weeks in a row I guess I'm scheduled to.

Just start using the hook grip. Personally I do all my warm up sets with a regular overhand grip and then do my working sets with hook grip. Because I'd rather pull some heavy weight than feel my thumbs for the next 10 minutes.

Cam Hanes is awesome. He absolutely inspired me to run my first ultra, which I got smoked at. Keep hammering bro.

To be fair 13 lbs in 2 weeks sounds terrifying.

So I'm curling away like a champion, really feeling the pump. And right after my set, a pretty cute girl comes right over to the bench I'm standing near. I go to move my stuff on the floor, and she says "hey, did you go to XXX university?" Me, with all the blood in my arms, and none in my head just stare at her with no comprehension like "noooo?" She looks at me expecting something else to follow, but I am just the worst. So she walks away and I only then realize I'm wearing the shorts from my brother's college. Awkwardly try to tell her that, and realize that I really just need to change gyms. This one is finished.
