I am very aware of my grunts when I am without headphones, but I can only imagine ho wloud I am when I have headphones on lol.

Ya, I forgot about the sound aspect. When I don't have headphones, it's weird being the only one making noise (YMCA, old people and anorexics) in the entire gym. Lately it's been getting good though, some big-ish guys coming in, I can finally ask for a spot and not worry about dying.


Sadly though, these 15 and 16 year olds are coming in now, in freaking masses. This one kid today has the muscle mass of Wiz Khalifa and threw on 135 to the bench. I was thinking he would need a spot so I was watching him... it went down and barely came back up, lol. I guess he was looking for his 1RM :P

I'm Lawrence, right across from Ivy Tech and the Y here. I love not having to go far at all. NIFS is over by IUPUI, right? Once I start at IUPUI, that will definitely be where I'll be going.

I have stopped listening to music during my lifts, but Im lucky in the fact that I don't give the impression I want to talk to anyone while I am there, so I am generally left unbothered.

I don't so much look like someone to talk to, but when I'm in the thick of it and piling on the plates, some do have a tendency to gawk at me. Not sure if my ego likes that or my paranoia hates it.

HA!! So true!!! I like it when the audience ... let's say when they're the sort that would look good topless, but would get arrested for doing so. ;) :D

I honestly don't think that I lift that much. There are tons here who do more than me. I just work out at a small local gym that's full of old folks and a few college-age "kids". Only 2 or 3 of the regulars there are as serious about it as me. But hey, whatever. I'm not there to compare or share or anything like that. Get in, get 'er done, avoid murdering someone. :head:


btw: Just made a giant pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. 4 quarters worth of meat, cleaned of fat and skin and junk, and the standard veg. Pot holds like 2.5 gallons. We eatin' soup this week! And then after turkey day, Imma makin turkey-noodle soup!! Tis the season for soup, and I like to cook. :)

Funny you should mention that...cause from my experience you're right.

i think it's because they are afraid to dump in all the seasonings you need to make chili the way it is meant to be. HOT AND SPICY
 
Bingo!!! I made a chili in college that was so good, it'd make ya scream and have to change pants! :lol: TiM's Whoop-Azz Chili. It's "Ow my azz hurts Good!!" :D It's thick, so thick that your spoon would stand up in the bowl. And it's that kinda ninja heat, too. Sweet at first and full of flavor, and then you swallow and it comes back to haunt ya!! I wrote up the recipe once for the AX newsletter and will have to dig it our for y'all sometime if you want it.

My wife and my mother both make their version of chili, and it just isn't good. Not just by my standards, but by any but their own!! lol

Actually entered my recipe into a Marlboro chili cook-off contest back in the day. Got picked as a 3rd prize winner. 100 3rd prize winners, but still... Prize was a coupon for a free carton. Yeah, i sold the coupon to a buddy.... :D (Camels r better. :trout:)

I do not condone the activity. However, if anyone is looking for a Xmas gift for me for under $10.... :lol:
 
when i was 13 all the cool guys were smoking, so i thought i would try it. my uncle was only one in family who smoked so i swiped a couple of his cigs to try.


BIG MISTAKE-HIS BRAND WAS KOOL-NON FILTERS!!!!


MAN-those things burned my lungs like napalm-no more smoking for me, lol.




btw-venison chili is the most healthiest stuff you can eat-i am looking forward to getting my 1st buck of the year, and making some chili. very cool to eat the meat you have killed yourself-much more manly than buying at grocery store, lol.

How many of you use foam rollers (no foamo)
Click to expand...

I've only foam rolled after the fact. After a cramp, after I pull something. I know that Rodja foam rolls daily. I really should get in to a habit foam rolling daily though.

Why do you ask?

don't have any of them local where I'm at, but I'll try to check them out.
 
Welp, Monday yet again. 3 days at work this week, then a good 4-day weekend. :) Got turkey day at my folks' on Thursday, then up to visit the in-laws on Friday. Yay! I get to avoid Black Friday!! :D Don't get paid till next Tuesday anyway, so that's probably a good thing.

Just for some fun, bunch of shots from the best of Google Street View!

Aww, being paid AFTER black Friday sucks :( I guess that saves more money though :P

What's everyone doing for Thanksgiving?

I'm headed to Sugar Grove, IL to my GF's hometown. Should be interesting to say the least... the bus station we hit on the way home in Chicago is supposed to be horrible, she said she's only bringing me to guard her from the hobos :P

I think this is my first Thanksgiving without being around blood family... ah well, time to grow up.

That picture is made of win with a side of epic. Quoting for the sake of it showing up twice. :lol:
 
Any crazy recipes being utilized by you guys for Thanksgiving?
 
Good deal right there! Don't have a fryer, but I do use Alton's cooking method. No brine, but we do the 500 degrees for 30 minutes, then foil on the breast and back down to 350 until the thermometer comes up to temp. Let it coast up out of the oven and boom - perfection!!

Haven't watched him lately, though. I kinda got out of the Food Network loop a few years back.

Oh that is painful. I traded up this summer from an old $60 brinkman to the Weber Smokey Mountain ($300).

Man the cooking is night and day, I can actually go to bed knowing the heat will remain constant for 8 hours. With the brinkman I had to set the alarm every 2 hours to check the coals. Now I use the Minion Method to get my weber to the right temp and I can go get a good night sleep knowing the temp would remain within ~7 plus/minus.

i need an invite-that sound great.:food:
 
Who is this Alton Brown and why are you guys man-crushing on him? Reminds me of Randy in the newest South Park.
 
Now I'm hungry again. D*mmit DAdams!
 
I'm not much of a fan of Alton Brown's show. Though he makes for a great Iron Chef host. I'm more of a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Throwdown with Bobby Flay and the Top Chef series.
 
I would have thought some of you bigs like Tim and Volcom woulda been all about some Man vs. Food. Of course we all know that Batamweight Study prolly loves him some Paula Dean.

None of that sh*t ain't got nothin' on my boy Chairman Kaga!
