Over The Top!!
I would have to add The Legend of Bagger Vance to that list of great sports movies. Although, he isn't in it. I have to admit i don't think I have seen a Will Smith movie since he showed he was a bitch azz bully slapping Chris Rock the way he did. If he had apologized and not tried to make himself the victim in his acceptance speech I could have let it go but he just kept showing he was a lil bitch with how he handled it. I love how Chris Rock eviscerated him in the comedy special though! i am just waiting for that ick factor to fall back off so I can enjoy his movies, I own so many of them.
I am "from" Houston, or lived here in the Houston area since 1987 before that I was running the Appalachians like a wild child in my youth. However, I am not big on following sports, so whatever sport you are referring to would not be able to make me an enemy. My Step Dad was a Nascar Guy so we didn't watch a bunch of sports if racing was on. I never really had that bonding moment with anyone watching sports together, and watching a game just made me want to get up and go play the game so I never stuck around. If football was on, I was the one going to grab the football and challenge everyone to a game of Smear the Uhm... Uh... "effeminate guy." Doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it... That or lets just go play baseball instead of watching kind of thing. The only sports i ever really got into watching were pugilistic sports like Boxing, MMA, Wrestling, even WWE. LOL By the way, Wrestling may be fake but a Pile Driver will actually take a friend out quickly... that was an oops moment, and almost a visit to the Dr. for my buddy and his poor neck.
Oh Man, I am sorry... Maybe this is your year, but the Stros... they definitely got game! Good luck to your team!M's are finishing our season with 3 games vs the 'Stros, and 3 games vs the A's. so next week if we take down the Astros we have a very very very reasonable chance of taking the division lol. Every Sept the M's like to grab my attention and break my heart

I can’t remember the name it’s there Halloween one, witches brew maybe? It was pretty good, I really missed my plain Jane drip coffee this morning though
Witches Brew, think that's it. I recently had their Cherry Slushy or something like that and it was quite good.I can’t remember the name it’s there Halloween one, witches brew maybe? It was pretty good, I really missed my plain Jane drip coffee this morning though
The cherry slush is probably my favorite so far.
How deep is the deficit right now?
Well not 100% on what my maintenance calories are as I was not really tracking this summer. But right now I am at 2,195 calorie's.
Targeting 2lbs a week after the first 10 days (which loss will be faster due to depletion) that is 1000 calories deficit between cardio and calorie reduction. Maintenance calories were based on TDEE calculations since he had not been tracking, and we will adjust as we move forward.
.
One really positive thing I can say about this part of are state is they put a lot of money into trails and parks. For instance the river trail is a 10 mile loop all paved 12ft for walking and bikes, they have bridges over the river and creeks, benches along the way, they even have 2 bike stations with tools and air in case of problems.
Glad you're feeling better!
your state of mind comes through a lot in your posts lately, definitely seems like you are in a great mental space
Honestly I think I am we have decided for sure we are moving end of 2025 that is a big weight off my shoulders. Work stress is unusually low or I have got a lot better at just letting it go, and or not caring as much. Wife and kids are good and happy so yeah for sure great mental place right now!Years ago I associated mine with grip, the wide grip rope climbs we did a lot of + deads would flare mine up horribly and very light (like 20lb) db curls always seemed to help so much. These days squats and a ton of tricep work seem to be the culprit for me, but my biceps need a TON of work to show results. I was blessed with thicker calves and my trade off was smaller arms, lol.

I’m not sure maybe with the drop in calories I’m getting more of a hit? Not sure but was not enjoying it as much 1/2 scoop was really good and I’ll taper to just coffee after the tub is gone.
My personal opinion with stims is less is better. Especially if you big and lifting heavy and on steroids. I dont know a lot of big guys that take a pre workout and many of them save there stims for the end of contest prep when there lean, eating good and doing cardio as they handle the stims better.
For bodybuilding it’s counterproductive probably beyond a cup of coffee.
FWIW, I was only half joking of course. While I certainly like my high stims (I'm a preWO & coffee type of guy), I also totally agree with too much overstimulation can be counterproductive. I have this problem particularly with alpha-yo pre's, which is why I tend to steer clear for the most part.
