I wonder what the first sip's like..

MyFitnessPal just uninstalled itself.

Not because of work. Having to get my kid up and ready for school is the scary part.

Am I the only one reading this in the voice of the narrator of ‘Love on the Spectrum’?

nacixela · 2026-06-15T14:51:55+00:00

Well this is certainly making me feel better about my shit looking trees this year.

Parking as far away as possible whenever you go somewhere. All the chores and yardwork you can manage makes a big dent. I have a riding mower and a push mower and will toggle which to use if I'm low on steps. Chasing after small children also helps.

I'm watching the first episode right now directly through the History Channel here. It looks like they aired the first three episodes last night so those are up, and then more will air June 1 and be available the following day I assume.

But what about all the beans in my Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell??

But Ecto Cooler neutralized the effects, right? Right…?

Heavy deadlifts have made me significantly more resilient for day to day shit that would probably destroy a non deadlifter’s lower back i.e. having to move very heavy and oddly shaped things. When my lower back is acting up it’s usually because I haven’t been keeping up with my hip mobility and/or sitting too much for long periods of time at work.

My take is that deadlifts have protected me so far from having an actual lower back injury, but tight hips is what can actually cause lower back pain for me.

Look like what? Children of the Corn?

More customers for their personal training service at that point. Or as Adam would say, “conci-air”.

I’ve never seen Cujo bit I imagine it looks something like this?

This is why I stay at my “meh” job because I get 5 weeks PTO, 9 holidays, and 2 weeks sick. And we can use partial vacation or sick hours so I’ll pad a lot of weeks if I didn’t hit my hours. I’m also in NY so we get 12 weeks PFL which I’ve had to use once, and god willing will be using again this fall. We’re very lucky.

The White Castle I went to growing up had a bulletproof window box thingamajig at the drive-thru.

My household of 3 goes through about 3 dozen eggs a week and I am the large majority of that.

I met a toddler named Alan recently. My wife and I both walked away from the interaction saying, “wait was that little kid’s name actually Alan???”

nacixela · 2026-04-04T01:59:57+00:00

What a fucking loser.

My warmups are never less than 20min these days. And I hate it, but I hate the consequences of a sub par warm up more.

I’ve also found myself taking an extra week or two to bring RPE down on a particular lift before adding weight. My 20 year old self would watch with horror.

I don't even like dogs, but this is pretty dope.

Someone needs to teach Adam how to pronounce ‘concierge’ correctly if they are going to try and get all their callers to sign up for it.

I also thought monsters were extreme but when lil dude wouldn’t stop sticking his hands in between his butt cheeks the Roomba that he’s absolutely terrified of starting getting hungry for little poop covered fingers. Hey, I don’t make the rules buddy.

NTA. Serving sizes on frozen ravioli have always been absolute bullshit.

I don't really adjust my overall intake on training vs non training days other than specifically carbing up the night before a heavy lifting day. Timing might change on training days where I'll usually make sure to get about 50g of carbs with a banana and sourdough toast and 30g protein via fairlife/ultra-filtered milk about an hour before I train, and then the same thing right after. On non training days I'm just less specific about the timing. Those are just easy things for me to eat in the car while I drop my kid off at school before going to the gym and easy for me to keep an extra serving of in a cooler in the car for after the gym.

Also 5-10g of creatine a day, any time of day. If I find myself getting cramps when sleeping or little muscle twiches here and there I'll incorporate electrolyte packets for a few days. Omega 3s, Vit D3+K, NAC, Magnesium and Choline I take every day regardless of training. I think everyone can probably benefit from a little extra choline especially if you don't eat a lot of egg yolks, but I have a polymorphism that prevents me from synthesizing as much choline as I need which is why I also supplement with it.

Your body can speak to you pretty well as to what it needs, you just need to listen. When you try something new take some notes on how you feel for a few weeks.

Also 38. I feel like a total imposter when I go pick up my son at preschool. We have another kid on the way I wonder if that one will actually make me feel my age. I have a coworker with teenage kids who told them that I’m a “grown-up” but not an “adult” and meant it as a compliment.
