  1. So you want more muscle? How's your eating look? And how about some more details on the lifting?
  2. Follow the plan, or take the triple step promotion?

      Whatever makes you happy

  3. Is it even possible to successfully let someone know that you're moving in 3 months, but in the mean time you'd like to see how things progress and re-assess after the move?

      Moving where? Across town...across the province or across the country?

      I guess if you know the landlord well enough, but it seems to me if you put in your notice to vacate, you can't simultaneously hold onto the place post-moveout-date, if that's what you're trying to say.. the last half of your post is somewhat confusing

      @Viking Mama...moving out of state (I'm a Yank) which equates to 500 miles and roughly 8 hours.

      This girl is something else. I told her, "so, the bad news is I'm moving to X city in January" and she didn't completely shut down. There may be nothing here long term, but at least we're both in agreement that we'll keep seeing each other and re-assess when the time comes.

  4. Putting on 25lbs of muscle, NOT just bodyweight, is damn near a lifetime of progress for someone who isn't running AAS. Now the bad news..you'll get 80% of the results you'll get from proper and consistent training in the first 12 months. After that, the amount of work required for progress increases while the return on the work becomes smaller and smaller.
  5. Kenny Chesney's newest album is awesome. Every song hits home, and there is no need to skip tracks.

  6. There's a difference between having the vaunted "nose for the net" and actually having the hockey IQ to read the play and be there when it counts. Gaunce has the latter, and it's a good thing.
  7. Lucic has zero professionalism

      jerking off gesture probably also made an impression

      ^ good guy Brad sticking up for your teammate I'm proud of ya son.

  8. Demarco Murray is crazy good. He's run all over the Saints tonight.
  9. Man, the Bears D isn't what it used to be...at all. Aaron Rodgers is putting on a clinic today.
  10. Seeing someone bench what you squat is good for perspecitve, isn't it? You should have that. 275x5 usually translates to 315+. Kill it!
  11. Go with Bulleit. I've had both, and prefer the Bulleit by miles. Rittenhouse is wayyyy to sweet for a good rye, IMO. Rittenhouse is an 'old style' rye in that it's only 51% rye in the mash bill. The Bulleit is 95% rye, and a very good, if a bit in your face, whiskey.
  12. When I doubt, simplify. I know we've discussed your routine in the past and I always thought the number of exercises was too much. It's easy to start dreading the gym when you've got 7 exercises to do every session. Personally, I think you should pare your lifts down to squats, benches, deadlifts, presses, 2-3 back exercises, and some arm isolation work with your main focus on getting strong on the four compound lifts I listed. Training for aesthetics without having a plan for progression on your lifts is a fools errand. You cannot build muscle without progressive overload, and the exercises with the greatest muscle building potential are lifts that (1) involve a lot of muscles working in coordination, (2) have a fairly long range of motion, (3) you can use a lot of weight on, and (4) allow for nearly infinite progression. Given the above qualifiers for exercises with the best potential for building muscle, you have squats, benches, deadlifts, presses, and rows with a barbell as your best muscle builders. Second comes the above movements (sans deadlifts) with dumbbells. Dumbells fall behind barbells on muscle building potential because the progression is not easy. And far behind the barbell and DB movements in terms of effectiveness is everything else. If I were you, this is how I would program my gym sessions: Note: only work sets shown for total volume. Start all warm ups with the EMPTY BAR and add weight in roughly equal jumps until you hit your work set weight for the day. The warmup for the squat would look something like this: BAR x5x2 135 x5 185x4 225x3 275x2 315x5x3 (work sets) A: Squat 3x5 Bench 3x5 Lat Pulldowns 4x10-12 Curls 4x10 B: Deadlift 2x5 Press 3x5 BB Rows 3x5 Lying Triceps extensions 4x10 I would lift 3-4 times per week with the following of two potential schedules: A B (day off) A B (weekend off) OR A day off B day off A (then do BAB schedule the next week) The plan for progression would be to add 5-10lbs per session to all of the exercises listed with 3x5 as the prescribed volume.
  13. If you don't like turbocharged engines, your loss

      can't argue with that logic

      Nah, I'll be alright

  15. I left Marshall on the bench thinking he might not play. I sure could use his 27 points.
  16. It's 1:43am on the east coast and I'm googling/researching work related things on my own accord. I'm a nerd. Good thing I work in a business where nerdiness is a good thing.

  17. I purchased some of this tonight as I'm newish to Irish Whiskey. The liquor store also has Green Spot which I believe I've seen recommended around here so I'll be giving that a try in the future. Edit: After having this and directly comparing it to "The Frog," Connemara essentially tastes like a slightly peated Highland scotch. It's a very good taste, but I like more peat. Either way, I would definitely purchase again.
  18. Sam Hunt is a wonderfully talented artist. Slight country tint to his work, but nevertheless, the kid has talent

      You'd hope the dude has a country tint, he's being marketed as a country artist (even if his music is far from it, even by mainstream standards)

      Seriously, "Leave the Night On", #14 currently on country airplay, sounds like a pop song. Nothing remotely country about it IMO. "Break Up in a Small Town" is spoken word/dubstep/pop. I really like him, but he belongs in the pop format.

  19. I'm definitely going to try this with some of my college buddies.
  20. My average weight for my squat work sets today was 316lbs. I know it's not the same as squatting 315x5x5 straight, but I'm pretty damn happy. My sets were 305, 320, 325, 315, and 315, all for 5.
  21. My bottle of Laphroaig has started to oxidize. Damn, guess I need to get to drinking my QC before it also becomes oxidized.

      I've yet to have that happen to me, but I feel your pain. In fact, I'll have a whisky after my beer in honour of your situation.

      Weird thing, I had the same thought last week when I took a whiff of my bottle. Love that stuff. Also have a bottle of Triple Wood.

  22. Boilermakers certainly speed up the whole "getting drunk" process

  23. BT has 2 unwheated mashes and a wheated. My understanding is that #2 is has less rye than #1, but is still pretty "rye heavy" for a bourbon mash. Not that ~20% rye mash comes through in white dog anyway...too much alcohol and sweetness to get through first. http://www.gq.com/life/food/201311/bourbon-whiskey-family-tree Why is it so expensive? American's make great whiskey, but it isn't THAT good to justify the markup between the 'States' and Canada. And no offense, I have yet to find a 'good Candian' whiskey down there that was worth drinking with just dihydrogen monoxide as the mixer. Some suggestions would be helpful.
  24. That first gif makes the "Beastmode against Nashville" goal look like civillian stuff. Pretty filthy, and ballsy play to even attempt that move.
