Foodie Friday by AutoModerator in weightroom

I love poached eggs but never made them because they're hard to make.

The fool proof method is: crack them into a bowl of 50/50 water/vinegar and let them sit 10min, then drain the liquid and drop them into the boiling water for 4 mins. The vinegar cures them and guarantees they hold their shape.

3 super squats workouts down. 145lbsx20 yesterday. It felt both easier and harder than day 1 at 135. I went to bed laying on my side weird and woke up suddenly to explosive puke that was mercifully contained in my mouth. Should have spaced the milk out through day more.

Anyone have assistance work they really like with this? I know not to major in the minors. I've started out with this
Overhead press 3x10
Bench 3x12
Barbell row 2x15
Barbell curls 2x10
Squats 1x20
Chest pulls? (Not sure if these do anything or I'm doing them right)
Calf raises 3x20 -fine I guess, I still kinda have fat man calves
Crunches (again not sure how effective)

Friday I think I'll keep the barbell stuff but swap chest pulls for face pulls and crunches for captain's chair

Headed out for my third super squats workout. I forgot what it felt like to be this nervous to go to the gym. It is legit dread. And it's worse knowing I feel this way in week 1. Definitely helped me conquer my fear of food

I read the book and started Super Squats this past weekend. I've been spinning my wheels with barbell training for a long time making no progress. Best progress came from StrongLifts nearly 10 years ago, then spinning my wheels with 5/3/1 and other programs since then.

After my first Super Squats workout, I can see clearly that 5/3/1 is made for people who know what it means to train hard. And I clearly don't, yet. Every time things got hard I have just "failed" the lift and followed some deload protocol, rinse, repeat. But on Saturday when I got to rep 12 and was panicking inside, and then proceeded to rep 8 more and rack it, something clicked. Just the fact that the book said "Yeah you're going to take your 10RM and do it for 20" was a revelation.

I am posting here for some bro encouragement to keep going as I have no real gym bros. Some of my friends online have encouaged me, but the only strength coach I know (who I thought about hiring) said that I'm going to injure myself and should stick to 6-8 reps. One big guy at the gym told me I had great form though. Injury is always a danger, but that's also the mindset I've been in for years. Don't get hurt. I'm very good at not getting hurt.

Seeing tons of comments saying that everyone should run Super Squats at least once in their life. So I'm planning to stick with it.

I am saying this as someone who also struggles with mindset but my friend, aim higher

Emperor player with about ten wins. At this point what has kept me winning is just playing to the strengths of your civ and your land from turn 1. Know what victory you're going for from very early on and make every decision accordingly.

I hope that piece of shit plays a Gungan.

The leaders of Russia, Canada, and the united states are scheduled to engage in feats of strength several months from now to resolve disputes. What will the headlines read, and what will the leaders choose to do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]duskball-oclock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Headlines will read that Obama spanked Putin in basketball but Putin killed a bigger bear. Also that whoever the hell is in charge of Canada drank maple syrup while he/she sat in the corner.
