Regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If there isn't any such study, I assume it's because researchers don't want to spend years smelling the armpits of strangers. Some knowledge is just not worth the cost of acquiring it.

hahaha
valid point, sir... valid point.

People go far out for those government grants, but there is a line along the way some won't cross.

I gotta say, I'm kinda liking how generally pleasant the thread is now.

Weight plates I ordered from Titan were lost during shipping and they have no more so they just refunded me. A few more weeks of jogging.

Getting heavy DBs and weights right now is harder than toilet paper. Meatheads galore ain't messing around. I had to order some heavy ones and went to 3 places.

Reminds me of being in the military.

Out on a mission, all the guys together... everyone is cool and chill, no problems.

Get back home and throw women and alcohol into the situation and everything falls apart. Fighting over women... fighting just to fight...

Maybe look at powerblock type adjustables if you need dumbbells. Might be that those would have slipped through the cracks. Think some brands will go up to 100.

100% - I was really shocked to see how little sugar I actually take in once really finding healthy foods. Sugar comes from fructose in fruits but basically outside of that, my sugar intake from food is legit so insanely low.

Except peanut butter. Holy shit I love peanut butter.

I don't eat peanut butter often, but my god when I do I can't stop

I'm not entirely sure it was politics per se that was the accelerant to that particular arson fire.

Pop is a big problem for a lot of people. My siblings will complain about losing weight while downing 4 cans of pepsi during a single visit. If they did what you do, they'd be good. That's most of their excess fat gone from 1 single change in their diet.

I abused pop like a drug when I was younger. At least 2-3 cans a day.

Sometimes I’d wake up in the middle of the night and go take a swig of pop from the fridge because I craved it so bad...

I was a major addict. Still am... I’m a recovering popoholic.

I can literally relapse at any time if I’m not careful - no joke.

It’s an every day struggle.

1 pop a week? I'm happy to have cut back to 1 Coke Zero a day. It's no sugar or calories, so its not bad for weight, but I'm sure it's giving me cancer or something

My biggest problem is snacking though. Mainly when I watch TV or movies. I can sit and play video games or hang out with people and not even think about food, but put a movie on and I am craving whatever the f*** I can get my hands on I only buy snacks in the individual size bags now like you'd pack a kid for lunch. I generally have the willpower to buy the right things, but put a family size bag of chips in front of me and that shit is getting eaten.

I hear you with late night snacking. I curb that by eating oranges or apples... it’s a mental thing really. It’s tough though because I want carbs or sugar.

Getting to where I am now with pop from when I was younger was a huge battle, believe me.

It’s scary how much I ate when I was younger... I would eat a large pizza by myself at least twice a week... and since I was a bachelor I always had friends over and we would order shit a few more times a week.

We used to order wings. subs, hamburger hoagies (16 in sub with 5 patties).

I would eat two subs or an entire hamburger hoagie by myself... then grab a slice of pizza from the pie we got or eat a few wings.

Yet I was 215 of solid muscle.

If I wasn’t on like 3 hockey teams and working out like a fiend, I would have needed a motorized scooter to get around I think...

If I did that now I’d have a heart attack in a few weeks probably or be on an episode of “My 600 lb Life”

i had to make a pb&j for lunch the other day for the first time in actual years and kept going "hmmm, this needs just a little bit more"

it took forever to chew but damn was it good

I have a really hard time gaining weight.

I'm sure you know about it but if you don't and for others..

That's what I put on my apples or pb2 on top of protein ice cream or in protein shakes.

Try PB2. It really is "diet peanut butter" and really good diet peanut butter, at that. Just mix 1 parts water to 1 parts PB2 and you've got PB-Sauce

I'm pretty sure that was Serge Gainsbourg.

I'm pretty sure that was Serge Gainsbourg.

If you prefer, also in the 1974 movie Chinatown.

Mulwray: Cherchez la femme? Was there a woman involved?

Gittes: Of course.

Any Penguin-themed masks we should be wearing, now that we've finally come around to common sense on the mask thing?

Funny you mention. Nuts n More cookie dough gets my fix of cookie dough when i need it every so often. And PB2 I put into my protein shakes to make sure i don't load my protein shakes with like 400 calories of pb

I have some self-respect, man.

I've abandoned all self-respect into a pool of despair, depression and anxiety. And golf withdrawal.

At least I'm not wearing sweatpants. Mostly cause I'm too lazy to wash them (my alt says he's gonna do it).
