So I had to bring my 24” monitor over to my bosses house where he has got a shit ton of construction going on. As I was carrying it in, one of the construction workers said to the other ‘Oh, i’m going to see if she needs help’ and comes up to me and says “Need me to carry that?” I laughed and said, “Nah, I lift heavier things than this pretty regularly! But you can grab the door’ In which he responded “Oh, you’ve got kids, huh?’

Oh, Fuck. No. 

I don’t do a whole lot of 1 rep max attempts for the bench press. I’ll never need it in a competition but it is fun to test it here and there after not doing it for nearly a year.

apparently I can bench 63kg (about 139lbs)

Probably more than that if I were in the right mind set. Didn’t feel too heavy. 

Go forth, young ones. 

100kg (220lb) for 7.

Did 95kg for 10 without a spotter so I’m pretty sure I’m good on this weight alone. 

I can’t stop watching videos of this woman!!

I believe she’s a 58..

forgot about this shirt

accidentally cut the neck wider than I wanted a while ago and threw it in a long lost pile. glad I found it.

sirloin bacon burger on sweet potato pancake with grilled onions, mushrooms and avocado.

SI joint paint has been plaguing me for a little while now but has gotten increasingly worse on this last cycle. I’ve been hitting some pretty heavy weights at higher reps (90kg - 100kg for 7 to 10 reps) and I think it’s irritating it a bit more. 

Anyone else deal with this? I am doing all sorts of preventative stuff (foam rolling, stretching, chiro appointments). I hate taking pain meds.

I’m the only one that eats eggs in my house…

John Cena doing some weightlifting and some other lifting highlights from the past few weeks. 

I must say my clean and jerk, while only 65kg, at 2:06 looks pretty damn good. 

Top: Detox Salad (tried to replicate the Whole Foods version but it really doesn’t taste that alike to me), chicken breast with smoky seasoning blend (paprika, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper), unsweetened ketchup

Center: Sautéed beets, mushrooms and broccoli with eggs and avocado. And coffee…of course.

Bottom: This ketchup I’m super into these days and biopharma nanogreens.

My chiropractor introduced me to the Biopharma products and they’re great. I’m using the nanogreens and nanopro, their whey protein. If you’re looking to be natural as you can get with your supplements I highly recommend checking it out. 

If you don’t like it, don’t fucking do it. 

You’re not always going to be the strongest person in the room. 

Fuck your ego.

FRANKFURT- In a rare display of professional consensus, an international consortium of anthropologists, archaeologists, and molecular biologists have formally released an exasperated sigh over the popularity of the so-called Paleo Diet during a two-day conference dedicated to the topic.

what everyone else has known all along…paleo logic actually makes no sense whatsoever.

“The notion that we have not yet adapted to eat wheat, yet we have had sufficient time to adapt to kale or lentils is ridiculous. In fact, for most practitioners of the Paleo Diet, who are typically westerners, the majority of the food they consume has been available to their gene pool for less than five centuries. Tomatoes, peppers, squash, potatoes, avocados, pecans, cashews, and blueberries are all New World crops, and have only been on the dinner table of African and Eurasian populations for probably 10 generations of their evolutionary history. Europeans have been eating grain for the last 10,000 years; we’ve been eating sweet potatoes for less than 500. Yet the human body has seemingly adapted perfectly well to yams, let alone pineapple and sunflower seeds.”

pretty sure this is satire…and read the last paragraph:

“Look, the diet itself is sound; it’s the philosophy that’s bullshit. Eat what you want. Just leave the damn cavemen out of it.”

I don’t like the word paleo that much either but I also don’t give a shit if I hear someone say it. It’s simply a way of saying you eat a whole foods diet mostly free of processed crap.

Also, this was tagged vegan by the op. Take what you will from that.

1. wrong. this is not satire. you don’t know what satire is. the sentence you pulled out is an example of a joke that one archaeologist made. just because someone makes a joke doesn’t mean the entire article is satire. you are confused.

2. the point of the article is saying that the human body is so versatile, but also so individual, and also so ethnically mixed, that there is no way to assess what humans as a whole are “meant to eat”. the paleo diet itself, eating mainly meats, veggies, sometimes fruit, and eggs, is not necessarily a good or bad diet. it’s just a diet that may or may not be tolerated well by any one individual BECAUSE everyone is so different. there is no one diet that fixes everyone’s problems, although some are clearly scientifically better healers than others. the paleo diet is problematic because it is backed by all of this false logic linking to evolutionary success, which doesn’t make any sense. this article is discussing why all of this logic is completely false from an archaeological standpoint. THEREFORE if you’re going to eat paleo, eat paleo, but you cannot possibly believe that this diet is superior because it’s “what we’re meant to eat” or it’s “evolutionarily superior” or it’s “supported by history” because none of that is true.

3. you said “It’s simply a way of saying you eat a whole foods diet mostly free of processed crap.” wrong. any diet that is rich in meat or eggs is always going to be full of processed crap. meat and eggs are processed crap. the only way to avoid this is eating exclusively farmer’s market meat and eggs or farming and killing all of these animals yourself. no one on the paleo diet does this.

4. oh hey, you’re right, I’m a vegan. however, you have absolutely no idea why I’m vegan, you dumb ass. I have never claimed that being vegan is “what we’re meant to eat” or it’s “evolutionarily superior” or it’s “supported by history” or bull shit like that. we all know it’s not. my reasoning for being vegan is because IN CURRENT SOCIETY it is one of the best healing diets for MOST people, also it feels the best to me individually, it’s the healthiest diet for my environment, and it’s the most humane diet in regards to animal welfare. people should be eating a diet that 1) feels good to them individually 2) is going to be the healthiest for their body through medical assessment 3) is healthiest for their environment and community.

I know what satire is. Go ahead and Google Dr. Britta Hoyes, Karl Fenst, Richard Wenkel or even the Ardipithecus Institute.

Or fuck, just read this: http://www.reddit.com/r/TrueReddit/comments/1fiwnb/archaeologists_officially_declare_collective_sigh/

If it’s the word Paleo you don’t like, I get it. I’m just saying (and this is unfortunate for me seeing as I’m not a fan of the word as a description of how I eat either) that what it means for myself and plenty of others is the elimination of processed crap and it’s just easier to use that word as it gets increasingly popular.

I do eat cage free eggs, organic, grass fed, pasture raised, free range meats and shop at farmer’s markets when available.

And forgive me, but when I see a vegan trying to debunk paleo, I assume they’re doing it for a reason based on moral superiority in regards to how they eat (exclusion of all animal products). Also because you probably eat an abundance of soy and wheat and gluten and so on and the “PALEO diet” specifically excludes all of that.

and don’t call me a dumb ass, ya jerk.
