I was looking through old photos and I came across these from June 2020, at the height of the madness when lockdown “opened up” and we had to wear masks at the gym. 6 years feels like a lifetime ago. Stay strong, they can’t keep us down 💪🏻😎 USA 250 🇺🇸
When I was in Kindergarten, I brought the helmet to show-and-tell day. Somewhere, there’s a photo of little 6-year-old me wearing it in class. Once upon a time, public school teachers were cool.
When I was 4 years old, my parents were excited to watch the movie E.T. with me. I became an emotional wreck in the first 5 minutes after E.T.’s family left him on earth. How could they leave him behind? We ended up switching to a different movie.
I’ve been in a lazy rut and I haven’t worked out in over 3 weeks. My back has always been my strongest and favorite and muscle to train. Muscle sticks longer than people think.
A lot of people stress over missing a workout, or missing a meal, when in it’s really not going to negatively impact their size, strength, or shape. In fact, a skipped workout is a good thing: extra rest. You don’t grow at the gym. You stimulate growth at the gym. Growth comes from nutrition and rest. If you miss a workout, the extra rest may help you grow and you will also have more energy for your next workout.
For a personal anecdote, I’ve found that if I take a one week break from the gym, I’m stronger and set PRs in my first week back. The moral of the story: don’t beat yourselves up if you have to miss a workout, guys and gals. Muscle sticks.
I plan to get back in the gym soon. Based on my past experience, I don’t expect to lose any strength during this break. The negative effects will be endurance related and I’ll feel them in my first week back in the gym.
I would even say that excess carbs+excess fat is what makes people fat. After years of experimenting with bulking and cutting, I’ve found that I look better and I have more success on weight cuts when I keep carbs moderate and fats low.
If I go a day without eating carbs, I’m ready to choke someone out.
Can’t imagine what it’s like to deprive oneself of an entire macronutrient group…unless someone is massively overweight, wants to lose in a very short period or treating a neurological disorder.
Otherwise why would you want to miss out on some of nature’s greatest gifts such as fruit, honey, rice, oats, veggies and potatoes.
And the best part of all is you can find thousands of fit and healthy people all over the world who include carbs as a regular part of their diet.
Anyone with half a brain knows it’s excess carbs and lack of physical activity that’s makes people fat.
Not carbs.
The horror and suspense when the T-800 searches for Sarah at the club is what makes this scene so brilliant.
I cannot stand idly by while you exclude the best part of the scene in your post.

Walter Kirn on Hasan Piker:
I’m going to tell you the truest thing you’ll ever hear about Hasan Piker. I’m not telling you this because I don’t like him. I fear him, because I fear his type, because I’ve seen it.
The reason he’s a socialist is because he has absolutely no empathy at all for other beings, for dogs, for old ladies, for poor people, for anything. But, when you have zero empathy, which is the mark of psychopathy, you compensate by adopting the politics of total empathy. It means the lady doth protest too much.
You’re always finding out that Republicans who seem like all they care about is their portfolio and stuff, but they’re like fun people and they’re kind of nice guys and sort of generous. Or you find out the Democrats who are all really principled and whatever, they crack a dirty joke at a card game, and you’re like, “Right on.”
That guy though, he can’t be a mixed bag, because he knows a fact about himself. The ineradicable ubiquitous fact that follows him every minute is, “I am an empty howling wasteland of nothingness. And everything that I do must be contrived to hide that from the world, or I can’t use them as my victims, or I can’t use them as my sexual partners, or I can’t get them to clean my house, or I can’t get them to serve me in a restaurant, or I can’t get them to represent me and make my podcast really big. So, I’m going to be a socialist with a cuddly dog, who just hangs loose, because I like rock and roll. Oh, yeah, I got to put a ZYN in because I’m just kind of that guy.”
He is a complete artifact covering an ice-cold Antarctic wind.

ICYMI: The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s National Counterterrorism Center provided intelligence that supported the arrest of a Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)-affiliated baby trafficking ringleader, Martha Alicia Mendez Aguilar, also known as “La Diabla,” in Juarez, Mexico, on Sept. 2, 2025.
The joint operation, executed by Mexican law enforcement officers, disrupted an infant trafficking network led by “La Diabla,” that lured pregnant women to remote locations, performed illegal cesarean procedures, harvested the organs from the mothers’ bodies, and sold the newborns to couples in the U.S. for up to 250,000 pesos.

This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars.
Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.
The armed woman was named in a @CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’
Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack.
Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.
This is an evolving situation and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available.

Randy Savage on BBC Saturday Morning show Going Live.
Macho is great here, cracking jokes, flirting with the presenter Sarah Greene, popping the production crew and being larger than life whilst answering questions. 🧵[Thread]

I’ve learned this myself. Once you get started on your fat loss program, you soon realize that you have greatly underestimated the amount of fat you have to lose.
💯💪🏻😎
Your natural t-levels don’t mean shit for muscle growth
Stop wasting money on test boosters
Androgen levels and DHT build muscle
So if you have low testosterone levels you prob need TRT
If your t-levels are in range (600-1000) and still don’t look the way you want it’s mostly likely your training and nutrition suck
