  1. swoosh thanks us for our attention to this matter.
  2. You all should’ve just sacrificed a whole chicken.
  3. Just bought the season pass with the additional handjob option. Looking forward to Saturday. Start hydrating!
  4. Agree with Mittens. If you're over 50 and haven't been on any strength training routine for a while, start with body weight exercises and get those down for a few weeks to establish a discipline, work on form, and get your muscles engaged. I started lifting again in my late 30s after several years out of the gym when marriage and two kids had gotten me complacent. I wasn't overweight, but I had become "skinny fat," with very little muscle tone and a little softness developing around the middle. In addition to a shitton of walking in my hilly neighborhood, I started with pushups, crunches, and planks. It didn't take long for my wife (at the time) to start taking notice.
  5. If it's a matter of time, for me making a smoothie is much quicker in terms of preparation and cleanup. If it's a matter of fiber, I add a tablespoon or so or flax seed or chia seed.
  6. Eh, not really scary. At least not at this point. It's just a little concerning, I'm trying to pay attention to my body now instead of waiting until I'm clutching my chest in pain. I can still get through my workouts with no drop off in weight or reps. I'm just noticeably more winded on a constant basis, and that's lingering longer after my workouts. And at age 50 with some heart history, I figure I'm overdue for a visit to a cardiologist.

  8. As a follow up to my own commentary, I have been noticing over the past several months that I'm more winded, and I'm not recovering from my workouts as quickly as I used to, particularly after lower-body workouts and HIIT cardio when I tend to get my heartrate up the highest. Also, an older guy at my church had been similarly complaining that his running performance had started to take a nosedive, and a couple weeks ago had a stent put in because his cardiologist found 95% blockage in one artery. So, I have an appointment next Friday afternoon with my internal medicine doc to get the insurance-company-required referral for a cardiologist. I hope I don't drop dead before then, but if I do, I bequeath all of my rep in equal shares to everyone on this thread.
  9. If you have a decently flavored protein powder, maybe with some peanut butter or a banana, you can't really taste the spinach, and it's an easy way to pack in a lot of greens.
  10. Damn. Loved that man in everything he did.
  11. Arch is going to throw for 500 yards and cure cancer.
  12. They’re too concerned with appearing biased toward the left. Huge pussies they are.
  13. We are family. I got all my sisters and me.
  14. I’m blaming all of this on Parker Livingstone.
  15. Probably because he’s bored and would like to coach again, and NIL was an irritant for him.
  16. From the gym in 78759 . . . FIGHT!!!
  17. Nice soaking in 78759 yesterday evening for about 40 minutes. I’ll take moar please.
