Spectacular

Not sure whether to post this in here or in supermeatheads.

In the elevator today a random guy (looked like he was in his 60s) asked me if I was a weightlifter and said I have a solid frame. I was a little too hungover to fully engage in the conversation.

Not gonna lie though, it went straight to my head.

I was in the laundry room loading the washing machine. No one was around and "New York, New York" popped into my head so I started singing the hook.

"I got a hunnid guns a hunnid clips, nigga I'm from New Yoooork, New Yoooooork. I got a semi-automatic that spits next time if you taaaaalk, you taaaalk"

I turned around and this lady was standing in the doorway just watching me. I must've sung hook like 20 times without noticing her. When we made eye contact she hesitated for a few seconds and walked away.

Did not bang doe.

i felt terribly awkward watching this

where can i get one of those backpacks with a duck on it?

respect the man's hustle and leave it at that lol. guys, this is the internet.

thanks dj flame, that's exactly the kind of feedback i was looking for.

i've been on starting strength for about 8 months but i'm coming back from about a month off. i already dropped some weight to work on my form but i guess i should take even more off and really get it perfect. now i'm thinking i should tape all of my lifts.

how do my squats look? i feel like i need to go lower. also, i didn't realize how much i fidget.

275x5 3rd set

personally i like the smaller one. i just like that aesthetic though, the xl just looks like a normal (albeit very nice) rectangular watch to me. imo you can't go wrong with either.

what do you guys think about the cartier tank? lately, i really like the look.

realistically, i'm a few years from purchasing another watch. also, i don't think it looks good on people under the age of 45.

"We will eat the birds on tuesday. They are yummy."

some of the comments said that the video was translated incorrectly...making this propaganda of propaganda....next level...?!

this gave me a boner, what is going on

who hasn't furiously mixed their fruit, now and then?

I received a lot of money in a short amount of time but I will probably just spend it on student loans.

she got those stevie wonders

i took approximately 2 years off superfuture and i come back to this, what the hell is going on?

respect, though.

started from +++

this challenged inspired me to step my game up. gotta go on the offensive tonight.

started on sunday

i braved the "dat azz appreciation thread" and survived

too close for comfort, though.

i respect his hustle. he found a way to make quality garments appeal to the average joe schmo.

everyone on this board "discovered" the world beyond mall brands at some point. somehow, a particular product and marketing scheme made us look at fit/quality/design from a different perspective. for me, nudie jeans introduced me to the world beyond old navy (i'm not even really ashamed to admit that). for some people, this douchebag is going to be their introduction to the world of clothes that can reasonably be considered "durable goods".

regardless, i don't think this is everything wrong with american fashion. i think the overwhelming positive response to his kickstarter campaign has gotten does say a lot about the awareness of the average consumer but i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, it's just the world we're living in.

tl:dr: respect the man's hustle

Nike Shox, would not bang (10)

I think there are mixed opinions about starting strength on this thread. I've been doing it for about 4 months and I think it's great. I really like the simplicity of it too.

Do you guys use belts? Do you use them for all of your sets or just the work set?

I've been putting off wearing a belt for as long as possible (I don't like to depend on "accessories") but about a week ago my back felt terrible after squats. I could barely bend at all for a good 5 minutes. I took a few days off and put the belt on for my work sets today. Squatted 275 and pulled 310 no problem (both are pr's for me). Everything felt a lot more solid.

thanks for your insights, guys! it's good to know that i'm progressing at least somewhat normally. i'm not really stressing out over the number itself (although it would feel badass to be benching 2 plates) so much as the fact that i've been stalled at ~150 for over a month while deadlift/squat have been going up. i had to go on a few week-long trips and work (and general laziness) has held me to sometimes only getting in the gym twice a week; i'm sure neither of those factors is helping my case. regardless, i'm focusing on eating/sleeping more... not a bad new year's resolution.

I've been doing starting strength for about 4 months right now, today I did this

Squat: 250x3x5

Bench: 150x3x5

Deadlift: 300x5

Sorta kinda feeling myself for getting my deadlift above 300. Not that much though, I've seen some of the numbers in this thread... Bench has been stuck at 150 for like a month, I think I need to start eating/sleeping more.
