Consider me a Quest bar convert. I tried the Banana Nut Muffin and the Strawberry cheesecake. The texture sucks and they are way too chewy, but the great taste and complete lack of protein bar "aftertaste" makes them great.

These are porksteaks Cooter.
oh god do want
pop them in the microwave for a bit. softens them up and it is delicious.
My jaw just dropped. Now that I'm single again, I can't be bothered to cook anything but overcooked chicken breasts on the foreman grill
hehe, I wonder how many of us, single men here in the fitness thread, do this several times every week.
I am trying to learn new stuff, as it gets boring really fast.
due props to,
Szu: Looking damn well! I love the kick pic. Can you do a full split? I know it's said we shouldn't stretch but I want to do a complete split so I stretch
I am getting near! pics will prove it when the time has come. Those hamstrings BUUURNN!! hehe.Sean: I agree with cooter, to be able to show workout results with a polo shirt, you gotta have good genes and work hard, congrats. If I ever get any attention, it's because I am wearing a very tight (even a bit tacky, lol) shirt but with a Polo style, no way.
Abu: great to read you are doing well. You have been struggling with your shoulder for a year perhaps? I remember you from back then. In any case, great news.

To be fair, the BBQ sauce "doctoring" took an hour, then I spent 2 hours cooking these because it started raining almost immediately after I put them in the grill (stayed in the grill for about an hour and 15 minutes, I BBQ off of direct heat in a smoker). I then had to transfer them to the oven when it was raining little enough not to mess up the meat.
Highly annoying and I was afraid they would be ruined, but they turned out pretty well.
I dream of the day I get my own power rack, flat bench, barbell and plates so that I'm able to train at home.
But if there's one thing I'd miss from my gym is the preacher curls machine. God I love that fucking thing. I get the most fucking intense pump out of it.
It's the most satisfying feeling you can get at the gym. Blood is flowing through your muscles and your skin feels really tight, like someone vas blowing hot aihr on youh skihn.
It's like the feeling of...of...coming.

Thanks broskis, I haven't felt this good since December, last week was so shitty in the gym that the Lift Gods must have taken sympathy on me and gave me my shoulder back.
Guise, need moar feedback!
First couple sets are warm-up.
Squat
http://youtu.be/Tr6hKSY8Aag
Bench
http://youtu.be/QHUrqmZzEWo
Deadlift
http://youtu.be/8L6XGluHSOU
Last set was clearly too heavy(140), evident of my ugly grimacing and shit form.
Also, does anyone experience "snapping"? When I rotate my right shoulder occasionally it will "snap", no pain, just a noise.
Same thing happens in my knees as well when I bend them passed 90 degrees. Same with my elbows, and I haven't had any injuries.
Going to see my doctor but was wondering if it is a bad idea to continue lifting.

Just got in from the gym, was supposed to do shoulders/back hypertrophy today but that first set of OHP felt the best I've felt in months. So, I turned it into a shoulder workout and overworked them like a muddasucka, my right shoulder is 90% and there was no pain or fatigue right out the gate. I made my right shoulder my bitch today, reminded it who the boss was -
Awesome. It's an amazing feeling to not have crap shoulders.

Looks pretty good Banglish. Try to avoid looking down so much when you squat. Where the eyes go, the body follows. Keep looking straight ahead and that will help keep your upper back tight. Good work dude!
I´ve been meaning to ask...
of all exercises, moves, etc, you guys do in your workouts, which one would be the most satisfying and which one the least satisfying (not related to bad form, but to the nature of the exercise)?
In my case
Most satisfying: high bar Squat, easily. To feel all that weight on my back/traps before going down, makes me feel very powerful, no other move gives me that feeling and going back up feels like a triumph
Least satisfying: Leg Extensions machine... man, I am screaming like a little girl inside of my head, during and after that exercise, it burns so bad -_-
your deadlift form is off, but I'll let Noema or someone else more knowledgeable than me explain further
Last time I did leg extentions, I did the whole rack for reps, that was after doing squat sets. I know it's something stupid to be proud of, but feelsgoodman. Definitely a little sign that I'm getting stronger. On the flip side, squats and ohp are my least satisfying lifts. I dread squats. And ohp, it's just so hard to progress in them for me. Deadlifts make me feel beastly.
Synthol has to be the dumbest shit ever created, not only are you poisoning yourself, but it doesn't even look good. It makes you look like a freak show
Heavy deadlifts and squats make me feel like a fucking monster/beast mode.
so those are the most satisfying.
Barbell shoulder presses are also very, very satisfying to me for some reason.
Least satisfying? Anything abs.
I attribute the texture of these particular bars to the sugar alcohols. Try bars from their original line.
My endurance really picked up lately doing sprints - running suicides at the park. The grass is certainly easier on the joints too. Fuck a treadmill (imo).
But yeah - I know what you mean. I played a pickup game last week against mostly high school kids. I ended up having to guard the smallest kid there. Probably 5'4 and 140 pounds. Motherfucker was like Usain Bolt. I just stopped caring about defense after a few full court runs.

Most satisfying would be deadlift and military press because one you're picking shit up off the ground and your entire body is involved. And the other you're pressing weight above your head.
Both "scream" strong mother fucker.
Least would be bench press, because every idiot with arms can and does do it. It's also the first question I get from people (how much do you bench). Like that's the "be all end all" of lifting.
Yeah, I tried the Banana Nut quest bar today and I'm not impressed with the texture. Ah well, at least they're good for you. Too bad they didn't have the cookie dough flavor everyone here is raving about.
As far as taste/texture goes nothing beats the Power Crunch bars for me. They're delicious fucking wafer bars, and they taste like a wafer bar much more than a protein bar.

hey guys, need some help identifying an exercise.

what the hell is that, and why is it (supposedly) good for me. I tried doing it and I don't think I can get that height, not sure if it's down to technique or lack of strength.
oh god so good

Just saw this now. Thanks man! Just look for a good fit, try lots of different brands. Maybe the express slim fit?

Cooter, nice work!

Alien, delicious work!
Be elite, ya plebeian.
I bet you don't even drop the weights from overhead with every rep of every exercise you do.
Pussy.
You say that now, but I'm about to change the crossfit game, wait till they see the move I been working on. The bench press into jumping squat, all in one movement, I'm a pioneer.
They'll call it the "abuC".
WOD:
Deadlifts 225lb 300 reps
Fran: 5 minutes
abuC: 135lb 5 minutes
What's butt wink?

Anterior pelvic tilt. Something plenty of people deal with. Just need to work on flexibility by doing more squats with perfect form.
Also here's the video of my training today in case anyone was interested.

Thanks brah, though master rip recommends to look at a single point because it keeps the neck neutral and facilitates hip drive.
I've tried a more neutral eye position but looking down seems to work for me.
