The Jimbo Slice memorial thread, feat Nate Dogg - The new Off Topic thread

One thing that never ceases to amaze me with the gym is the sheer craziness of some people.
The other day, a women was using calf raise machine that was loaded to the hilt with plates. Tried to do a few reps, struggled immediately and blew her ankle. I don't know if it was a broken bone, or a torn ligament. I'd guess it was one or the other though. Stupid behaviour leads to accidents, the gym is no acceptation.
Then her lawyer contact the gym to let them know she is sueing them for damages. WTF?

I'm sorry she was hurt of course. But you you try to lift a weight that's too heavy for you, and you hurt yourself, that's your fault imo.

Got a boojum bowl of just shredded beef and veg
Mfp isn't being much help
Apparently everyone on it gets rice and cream and cheese

Do they have the calories on the menu? Just give a rough guess what way the macros are divided if they do with the aim of the listed calories.

Did you get guacamole?

I realise none of my replies are constructive.

Can I have a burrito, please.

Hold the burritoyness.

1977 World Powerlifting Championships and up steps Doug Young to squat 317.5kg on his 2nd attempt.

The lack of spotters is mad, to start.

So, breaks 3 ribs on that second squat. Still goes on to bench 247kg and deadlift 322kg.

Three. Broken. Ribs.

Doug Young is my idol. The man exuded power. Some great stories about him on 70sbig.com.

He had a proper growl under the bar. Primal.

Everything Doug Young did was paleo. He was a caveman.

All this burrito talk had me make 3 days worth of lunches of burrito goodness.

Homemade guac is the best. I can also give myself as much of it as I want.

Also jumped on the burrito bandwagon this evening.

Alf Veedersane

Bluewolf has her own burrito bandwagon.

Doesn't have any band or wheels on it.

Nathan Damron squatted 310kg @98kg yesterday. America has some ridiculous talent in their young weightlifters at the moment.

Isn't that really close to the untested, w/wraps record? Madness altogether.

17 lbs shy of Malanichev's record.

One of the first, if not the first, to total over 2400 lbs in just sleeves.

I could've picked that up off the ground and then squatted it.

Of course you could.

That's why you're on boards saying you could.

Day at the office for JT.

Think she benched 147 a month or so ago.

Alf Veedersane

Kicks off here with ~135kg at the 1 min mark and around 2.50 gets going at the 147.

Solid enough pause as well.

Brian?

So I finally own a lifting belt:

Any tips on breaking it in?

Perseverance.

It's 13mm and leather. It will be some time before its comfortable.

Mr. CooL ICE

13mm? Ah jaysus, why did you do that?
