David Goggins.
I’ve been trying to figure out whether running helps or hinders what I want to accomplish. I have never been a big guy but have put on some muscle at the gym. I’m putting together a plan to get more serious about my lifting, eating, and sleeping. I’m 29 years old, aware of my age, and gaining muscle is not getting easier.
At the same time, fitness (in a broad sense) and all the benefits that come with it are important to me. Endurance and good cardiovascular health need to be maintained if not built on. So, I am conflicted about how running fits in to all this.
Also, David Goggins.
Elite runners are super fit but look like they could be snapped in two. Of course, David Goggins (my hero *swoon*) is both jacked and runs a lot of miles. In a perfect world, that’s how I would be built.
Meanwhile, there is lots of fitness advice that advocates against running if you want to gain mass. Some take a more refined view that distance running is problem, but sprints are helpful. Jeff Cavaliere, of AthleanX fame, takes the latter view. As many of you know, I have enormous respect for his advice, but I’m not satisfied with his answer here.
David f*cking Goggins.
Enter The Bioneer. I can thank YouTube’s algorithm for exposing me to this guy. I have watched about a dozen of his videos. My initial impression is he knows his stuff. The caveat being that while there is plenty of legitimate science focused on many areas of fitness, I don’t think there are many definitive answers due to the complexity and variability in human biology.
This is my way of saying I may be talking out of my ass about this topic. Hmmm, sort of reminds me of last week’s article. Anyway, the Bioneer video is worth watching if you care about the topic. The short version is you may lose a little muscle in the short term. But there are significant long terms benefits that greatly outweigh a short-term setback. Running reduces stress. That means you will reduce cortisol levels (think of all those informercials showing the shrinking body if you take their pill). Running improves your fitness/endurance so muscle building workouts can go longer and/or harder. You will also improve your body’s ability to distribute oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. The overall effect is to make you more anabolic. Of course, running also helps you get and stay lean.
I guess it’s time to start running.
This week’s music does not have any hidden meaning. I just love this tune.
I’m 29 years old, aware of my age, and gaining muscle is not getting easier.
Huh. For some reason I thought you were older than that.
Weight is 266.6 lbs at 26.8%. I think this was water weight loss. I felt a bit dehydrated Friday morning.
I deadlifted using 25 lb bumper plates as risers. The trainer was watching me do it. He said my only problem is my upper back has a tendency to round at the bottom. I’ll work on deadlifts at this height for a few weeks before ditching the risers entirely.
Seen at the gym: No plague of people curling in the power rack this week.
More people are pressing and push pressing. Unfortunately, I see too much standing bench pressing.
The AC/DC song is good.
“Standing” bench press. Sounds like an oxymoron. Are you talking about a military or shoulder press?
The press, because how would you press without the shoulder?.
Standing bench press example.
I am older. I think something went sideways in WordPress. The 29 was supposed to be crossed out. Only “aware of my age” should have appeared in clean text.
Ahh
Speaking of 29…I was probably in the worst shape of my life at that age. Too much work, too much beer, too many carbs, too stupid/lazy to know any better.
You are not alone.
I was also newlywed and probably had other things on my mind.
For me, it is a tie between when I was 24 and early 40s (when the disc herniation acted up).
Good. I was going to tell you to QFT. 🙂
Who is youngest whippersnapper round these parts, I wonder?
Not me, I’m a premature geezer.
Could be Trashie or Q.
I think that Derpy and Limey are just past college age.
The Glibs That Have Never Spoken(tm) are also that age.
Not I. I know there are a few still in their 20s around here.
TBH, I’m sometimes shocked at some of y’alls ages (usually in a good way)
Our bell curve seems to peak in the fifties, from what I’ve gathered.
I’m peak Glib.
Maybe we believed the false propaganda from the time of the US Bicentennial?
My bad. I didn’t catch the strikethrough. I paste submissions into WordPress without attributes and re-create the formatting. Easier that way.
“I’m 29 years old, aware of my age, and gaining muscle is not getting easier.”
Well, we used to call that being in our prime. I guess prime is now until you’re 10.
Seriously, I could not gain a pound until I was 30. I only started really putting on muscle when I was 31 or so. Then I gained 15 lbs of solid muscle. When I was 29 I could eat all day long and not gain a single pound.
I totally forgot this song, Great choice!
I’m still trying to walk/play every day, it takes energy just to wind myself up, once I get walking and playing, I loosen up my spine enough to continue.
I used to walk 9 miles a day, now maybe 2 miles,
Go Run!
How’s your spine doing, Yu? I forget which disc you crushed.
I’ve seen plenty of built people do distance running. Generally they’re not particularly fast, but it’s not like training for a marathon makes you look like an Ethiopian marathoner. I ran my marathon at 215lbs, and was regularly running half marathons at 205-225lbs. Again, not fast and I’ve never been cut like goggins, but I also wasn’t putting in the necessary miles to go fast or reps to get cut.
You could easily mix in 10 or so miles/week and reap all the crosstraining benefits without the worst of the issues that come with distance running.
I trained 5 months for my first marathon. Ramped up the mileage per week, increased long runs weekly, something like 810 miles total training. Went from 10 minute mile to 7 1/2 minute mile. Ate a little better..maybe a little more, drank way less beer. I lost a whole pound… Started at 195 and raced at 194.
Hi Chafed, Greetings from NOCAL-BEL. New hike this morning. 7.5 miles with 1500 ft climb on single track. On a new hike, I always feel like I’m lost…until I get to the parking lot; then I have to remember where the trucks parked.
I used to run; even trained and ran a couple marathons at 195lbs, which was about 25lbs too much for my frame and a pretty selfish. My distance running days are over… I think repetitive exercise is unwise for me. IMO, there are better ways to reduce stress and lower cortisol. Wim Hoff or if you are not into that, there are some simple/quick exercises to activate parasympathetic response.
G-fit update: Sleep was just good. Food was protein and some fruit. Hike mileage was up 35 miles. Wim Hoff/meditative “ancient man” techniques; Did 4 times with cold swims. Weight steady at 173. Didn’t fast this past week.
Goals: Meeting goal weight range max (175-170). Still not dead from Covid…MB;MC
To live better, fat adapt, skip a meal or three!
“Still not dead from Covid.”
In these trying times™, we can’t ask for much more.
Running music
More hate music Ted’S? I’m a little disappointed.
Will this running music do instead?
So much hate.
[Runs farther]
I knew what it was before clicking the link.
I’d rather swim laps than run. I’ve never liked the way I feel after a run, and I don’t get that when I swim.
Swimming can put you into a meditative state due to the breathing discipline and holds. To get super benefit you have to really put in the laps, which is not a thing if you have a couple of hours…
“I’m 29 years old, aware of my age, and gaining muscle is not getting easier.”
Wait until you are my age.
Inexpicably about 16 lbs of muscle evaporated off of me in 3 or 4 months recently. What the hell?
I’m considerably older. See upthread.
Eat more steak.
I endorse that…coupled with meat eating really pisses the greenies…its a win-win.
That happened to me, I have lost 20 lb. in 10 years, all muscle loss, as I ain’t that big in the first place,
@ Pie
We’re in for Monday night’s Powerball.
05 28 44 50 69 – 15
Would it be considered ill form if I play those numbers?
Probably.
I’m just trying to have fun with Pie.
They’re just quickpick numbers. *shrug*
I walked two miles (ending just now) carrying my camera with the new lens I just got yesterday. Took some pictures of whitetailed rats I’m about to review and see if they’re any good.
Here’s the best of the ones I took today : https://www.glibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Running_Buck.jpg
Shoulda brought a Crossbow,
That guy literally crashed out of the bushes on the far side of the road and stood there until I got my camera ready. My first shot has broken foliage still sitting on his head.
As for hunting, I was in a state park, so it was banned, and there was enough traffic that someone would have caught me from among the population who would cause me hassles for dealing with the pests.
Pests is right, and even here I can’t legally shoot my Xbow in town limits so a state park might be an issue as well,
I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a place with unincorporated areas.
Then you need to move further away from the city.
I think every bit of New York is part of an incoporated area (a city, town, or village).
Just goes to show it’s a bad idea to incorporate everything. And I never said anything about constraining you to the state of new york.
I hadn’t, for many years. Was always in a town or city.
Now, up here, we’re “out in the borough” which basically means we can do whatever the fuck we want. It’s a great feeling.
Doloot has in-city bow hunting of deer.
I just bought a Ravin R10 crossbow and an archery license. I figure I have fed the damn pests from my garden for 15 years, I might get some good deer meat in return.
I wish, I could clean out my park in a week, but then what? Venison for all!
Ffx county does too.
We make an aluminum part for Ravin crossbows. I should look into their stuff.
Q: What’s the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?
A: Beer nuts are $1.49; deer nuts are under a buck.
What did the doe say when she walked out of the forest? “I’ll never do that for two bucks again.”
Nice pic.
Thanks.
I also got some of a Doe, but she looked kinda emaciated and static.
Anorectic deer. Hawt.
That’s what a doe looks like here in April. Nice buck picture and nice buck.
I loosen up the SKS, after I fished it out of the river. A little problem with the zero, I need some loctite for the scope. Yeah, that was the problem, yeah, need loctite. Rifle season in 5 weeks, I need more exercise. I couldn’t believe how much weight that gun had gained over the years.
Wow. I doubt either of those deer make it through winter. Sounds like you have too many so probably a good thing.
Scratch that. I thought they made compound bows too.
Uff da
A few areas in New York actually had an extended deer season in September.
UCS’s neck of the woods looks like one of the areas (look for the areas with the red diagonal stripes).
4J is all Urban. I’m not sure there is any land where the laws even say it’s okay to hunt.
Jeebus. You need a math degree to understand all of that.
It would be easier if they superimposed a county map on the district map.
The complexity is pretty typical for most big game hunting nowadays.
I’m convinced some areas, mostly suburban, will never reduce population to appropriate levels, at least using currently acceptable methods. The deer have everything they need to thrive.
Minnesota has a wide range of population density. Places near me have only a couple per square mile since it only became inhabited by deer once forest harvesting became a thing a century ago. Prior to that this was caribou country. Down in the twin cities suburbs there might be 10-20 times that many. I’m not exactly sure what the limit is since I don’t hunt there, but I believe you can take a handful of deer each year with the right permits. Up here we get one.

Vaccine killed her. Twitter calls it fake news.
This is all going to go away when pubsec union members start dying from it. She’s not a hero teacher or cop so she doesn’t count.
No it won’t.
The people in charge have too much to lose now. They can’t back down.
This is going to end in blood.
I agree and disagree. There is too much for the people in charge to GAIN…there is a lot of individual wealth to steal.
The blood will only really start flowing when l the people in charge go at each other to limit to a couple person(s) in charge.
They should just switch out the vaxx with saline…it will hurt less people and provide the same benefit. That way, they can still collect a database for passports so they can issue carbon credits/demerits via your activities through your gov given QR code. That infrastructure isn’t going to pay for itself any other way.
Dorsey needs to die in a fire. POS⁹. That is all.
I’m willing to bet all these high profile promoters of the vaccine didn’t take them at all, but have access to actual treatments that work. You know, just in case.
Dorsey isn’t charge anymore. He’s just a figurehead and whipping boy.
Vanguard, Morgan Stanley and Blackrock hold controlling shares by a long shot.
What’s he worth? Dump the stock and move on and tell everyone then.
“Twitter has become a dumpster fire, so I sold most of my stock. Thank you. Also, I hate Trump, but there is no fucking way 81 million people voted for that demented pants-shitting racist and that cackling cunt.”
Can you imagine the cocktail parties he’d get uninvited from?
Yeah, me neither.
Shit like this is why I don’t listen to the people who tell me that the vaccines have only a negligible rate of serious side effects – we have a media and Big Tech sector that is committed to silencing any discussion of side effects. If it were found that the vaccine had a serious risk of severe debilitating consequences, it would be suppressed as “misinformation”.
I’m not saying that Big Tech censorship proves that the vaccines have serious side effects – just that if they did, we might not be able to hear about it.
And the “public heath” establishment is whining that people don’t trust them and go down conspiracy bunny holes, but seeing information suppressed doesn’t help matters at all. Maybe they should address that first if they want people to trust them and take the vaccine.
You use Bitchute, Odysee & Rumble, don’t you? They’re pretty free speech
Except, unlike Twitter, they don’t allow child porn.
Also, they don’t crush videos discussing/reporting (Bitchute)vaccine side effects.
Rumble: https://rumble.com/search/video?q=vaccine%20side%20effects
Odysee: https://odysee.com/$/search?q=vaccine%20side%20effects
VAERS is getting 15,000+ deaths from COVID vax and 30,000 disabilities in 2021.
The commies in MSM are trying to cover for it, so you know there is more to the story.
I’m watching a horrible movie – Zombie Nightmare.
It’s really awful, but I can’t stop.
It is the debut film of Tia Carrere.
It also has Adam West and Jon Mikl Thor.
Awww…they just killed her.
It happens in Zombie movies.
Inspired by Tubi movie night, which I can’t participate in, I suggested to the wife we pick an awful movie to watch.
We picked this.
It wasn’t unwatchable. The actors did well. 2.5/5
I watched this, which has Jane Fonda borrowing Liz Taylor’s Cleopatra wig.
Even the Greek scenery looks pallid.
Never heard of it. Seems like it should have a better rating though. What did you give it?
4/10.
It should be better, but there’s a whole lot of nothing going on.
Angela Lansbury alone should be worth a 4 out of 10.
So the rest of the movie’s a zero?
Lanbsury is absent for a good half the movie.
Bummer.
If you want a good movie that hypes Lansbury but she only shows up at the end, look for Dear Heart.
That actually looks pretty good, Ted.
Fantastic! Should that night ever move (since it was picked almost at random) what night would work better?

Excellent.
Related: Watching Jays’ game #162. I’m not on the Twitter, but I wonder if #leatherpants is trending.
I’ve been off work for the last 3 week due to my second knee replacement.
I lost 15 lbs. the first week due to opioid induced nausea. I have been able to maintain that (or even lose a few more) through the other through 2 weeks. My appetite is regaining steam though.
My A1C test results are not good, so I’m back on the diabeetus pills. I’d like to lose enough weight to get off of them.
I’m back to work on Monday.
Good luck, Nick. I gained all the weight back as soon as I started feeling better. I’m back to my fighting weight, 195-6.
Good luck, Nick. You can do it, brother.
Carb counting this weekend has been a bust. Let’s just call it a cheat weekend!
I had forgotten how good fried rice is!
Carb counting?
*glances at stromboli*
There’s one.
That’s not how this works.
I could explain why I’m posting late, but it would read like a smutty chapter in a Mojeaux book.
See y’all tomorrow.
Keep it going, Nick!
I’ve got a lot of ideas, so feel free to contact me in the forums. I think most people’s idea of how much cardio they should get is based more on their Overton Window than anything else.
For most people, it takes a couple of years of running slowly just to build up their joints and ligaments to where running is pleasurable. As such, most people never get to that stage, so running is a chore.
On the other hand, if you get to a certain degree of fitness you can, for example, see that there’s an opening for the Moab 240 in a pandemic year (i.e. one in which the Balloon Fiesta is canceled) enter it with no specific Moab 240 training and finish it on your first attempt, unlike others … cough / wink.
To finish under the limit, you only have to average 2.2 mph. That’s really just a hike to me. I would have no problem doing that…luxury!
Yeah, but you have to keep that up for 112 hours.
I don’t know if you saw it when I originally posted it six weeks back, but this is your project for next summer. 🙂
Holy crap. That’d be awesome.
Myself, I’m more of a “walk across the south of France, eating and drinking the whole way” kinda guy.
I started a running regimen this past week, Mon-Weds-Fri. Ran/walked 1.5 miles on Monday and was not surprised by how sore I was Tuesday and even Wednesday. Ran/walked 1.5 miles then walked another 2.5 miles on Wednesday. Wasn’t as sore Thursday as I expected. Did the same thing on Friday as Weds and by this morning my legs were fine.
Pretty pleased with that. I’m as heavy as I’ve ever been, but that just means I’m at a typical weight for my height. Wouldn’t mind losing about ten pounds then starting some kind of lifting regiment to go with the running, but that will happen in due time.
I was deadlifting carboys in the brewing room today. That was my exercise.
I did get another 10 gallons of mead bottled today.
I wish to subscribe to your exercise newsletter. Do you sell the full carboys as equipment?
What’s a car boy? Is that like the same as your pool boy? Gay!
*chuckles*
He shifts the knob in the appropriate directs depending on how the engine is revving.
“directions”
Car boy
Gay!
I walked 1.5 miles today and got triggered because no one helped me back to the other side of the street.
So I had to run back to my safe space and here I am!
So I waited 3 hours to get a 15 minute beer delivery because all the snowflake drivers called in and it’s Sunday.
OK, I get it.
So then I decided to play New World again. And that’s much like The Hill. Don’t read the posts, it’s full of perpetually aggrieved snowflakes.
I walked a little over 3 miles not long ago, because I dropped my truck at the shop to get worked on, and all the taxi companies around here care about is the airport. A 3 mile ride in the city? GFY. Walk, you bastard.
I know it doesn’t sound like much, but in the shape I’m in, and the Florida sun… I’ll be glad to get my truck back.
Taxi drivers need a famine. Apparently a global pandemic isn’t enough to motivate them.
Did y’all know that teens are now children until they’re 40 and move out of their mum’s basement… maybe?
I had a 45 year old customer who put over 20k on a single oil change in his newer model (at the time) Suburban. When I told him that rattling was a next to dead engine due to his tar, er oil sludging up, he promptly called his mother for the $ for a new engine. So, I think it goes on a little longer than 40.
And yet there are 19 year olds out there killing it at life all on their own…
A moron roommate of mine threw a piston through his hood on I-45. When asked when the last time he changed the oil, he just looked at us like a dog who really wanted to do the right trick but couldn’t quite figure out what we were saying to him.
News of the weird and unexpected: Just got the renewal for company Health Insurance for 2022. Premium went down 6% from this year; granted, the deductible and co-pays went up. Obama was right about ACA bending the curve. :wonders if insurance company is messing with me–hummm:
It bent the curve upward.
The curve cannot be bent. Only flattened. And that has never happened. So stop lyin man! This is the New Normal! Get used to it! Brave New World!
Look, it’s Lyin Ted! I think you should go home, Ted! Just get on the 5 and never come back!
Forget about it, Little Marco!
I’m not lying.

Exactly what part of this new world strikes you as brave?
Going to the store..sans mask is much brave.
Bingo.
All I see is cowardice.
Cancel everyone, sort em out later!
Catholic university denies religious exemptions from you-know-what because their faith isn’t “sincere”.
Bonus points for brain-dead comments from some of the anointed such as this:
Honestly, I’m not even mad. I’m actually impressed. For the commies to successfully demoralize the Church, they must have been putting in the spade work…
The establishment Catholic Church isn’t the Church any longer.
The Catholic church is captured in a 503c conundrum and stands for nothing righteous anymore. Maybe it was never righteous and was always about money and power. It’s a shame…
I went to the range today and burned 438 rounds of 9mm. I had that same smug-but-embarrased feeling that you get when you make it rain at the strip club.
I also shot a legit 4.5 second El Presidente, so it was probably worth it.
Not unless it got reported.
Fuck me, I wish. Moving up in classification on El Presidente is basically impossible.
Chafed!
Thanks as always for these.
I’m a former distance runner and I’m not a fan. It really fucked up my feet, ankles, knees and hips. Once I gave it up for weights, hikes and sprints everything got better.
Sisson and Tiger agree with me.
But YMMV, naturally.
My brother is in town, so we’ve done a couple of fun hikes. Yesterday was Deer Mountain in RMNP. 6 miles, 1400 foot elevation and absolutely spectacular.
I love it here.
Have a great week, Glibfitters! I’m giving up beer for awhile to see if I can deal with some inflammation. Pray for my sanity.
So hard liquor only? I approve.
That is a sick overlook. I approve again.
Maybe. Or THC.
I love beer more than anything, but it doesn’t love me!
#Me2 … burrrrpppp!!!!!
Scuse me, hon, was that rude?
I think I’m joining you. Need to lose 40 lbs or so…
T, The problem with running is form. If your form is bad, it really puts pressure on your joints. Really need a coach and constant correction.
Did you try the Wim Hoff?
And try not to run on concrete. I like to alternate run/walk. So I might do 5 miles, but half is walking and half is running.
I think it’s also body geometry and shoes. I wore stability shoes for 20 years, when I definitely should have been wearing flatter and wider ones. When I quit running, I started wearing minimalist shoes and everything improved. I also have a foot issue that precludes barefoot shoes for long distance. It’s a lifelong process to figure this all out.
And yes, I’ve been experimenting with the WH. I’ve also started mouth taping again at night. Interesting how much better I sleep and how my congestion gets way better. Breathing is an amazing skill.
WHM is pretty interesting. I noticed after a couple sessions that things get different. Related to inflammation: I have been researching and testing out some red-light therapies. There is some belief that exposure to red light may decrease inflammation.
The Collegiates? Where the fuck you hiking?
Seriously, that looks like South Park. Eleven Mile Reservoir to the left and the collegiates in the back.
Nope. I retract that. Not flat enough.
Nah, it’s Long’s Peak, Thunder Peak, etc.
Fucking beautiful!
Just Like Tiger Woods you say. https://youtu.be/tqeKdfjuV2w
LOL!
That is a beautiful view.

I’m going to start Yoga again. I just hope I do not half to do with the flaming Yoga Purist again. I think the best plan is: Do Yoga, shut up.
Admit it..the yoga thing is just a reason for you to shop lululemon for unitards.
I don’t even know what you just said.
It’s a reason to chat up the nice ladies wearing Lululemon.
But, do chickens have large talons?
I hate yoga, but do feel better after stretching. (I have tried multiple yoga classes, I mean multiple because everyone is, oh you just need the right teacher. No, I hate yoga.)
Yoga if you do the movements correctly, is very strenuous and will increase your strength as well as flexibility. It also completely fixed my lower back issues.
You don’t need a 3D teacher, just the intertoobz.
Tried that too. Still HATE yoga. At this stage of my life, I’m done trying it. I’ve tried, don’t like it, would rather do stretching and weight lifting.
Doing it is more important than what you do. So keep doing what you’re doing. I love your gardening posts. Hope you keep it up. I’m all in on that, started when I was 4.
I love your food posts.
All the red peppers from my garden (red habanero, cayenne, cherry bomb, and thai bird peppers) are fermenting on my countertop. Soon to be made into hot sauce.
Attempt #2 at Kimchee (the first one was…not good) is also fermenting on my kitchen counter. If this try doesn’t work (I let it brine overnight this time instead of just a few hours), I’m going to beg Mrs. Pope Jimbo to teach me how.
Huwhite Guys making Kimchi?
Not gonna work.
*Mick Jagger sneer*
But I like it!
…and I’m too much of a cheapskate to pay $7 a pint or $9 per quart at the grocery store.
The problem with Yoga instructors is I never got the feeling that any of them really understood physiology. And last time I had physical therapy she felt the same way. Stretching is great, and I do a pretty serious routine a few times a week, but half the yoga poses are kinda dangerous as they are presented.
But the breathing part is great.
Thanks for the post Chafed! Weekend of work for me. Three days = 23+ miles walked. My legs hurt, my back hurts, and I am exhausted but not enough to not stop at the evil W and buy $76 worth of meat for the week. Burgers have been grilled shirtless for optimal vit D consumption and bacon has been cooked and or cooking.
Some people get stacked and some don’t. I know a guy who lifted hard but could never bulk. ….the complexity and variability in human biology. Yep, something something long/short muscle fiber…..genetics is a bitch. Hence why the best distance runners are long limbed lanky folks like someone we know. I could never run a distance but sprints always suited me. In my latest health kick I challenge the “kids” I work with to a race. I know they are going to smoke me but it is fun and makes me sprint. Then I get to, “ya know when I was younger……….”

And you had your choice of 2 entire teams. Amazing!
I’ve tried to root for winning teams – it just doesn’t work for me. Underdogs all the way!
All else considered I usually root for the underdog.
Why would anyone not from Ohio subject themselves to Browns fandom? Was it because Brian Sipe was so dreamy back in your formative years?

countryteam right or wrongI’m not a Vikings fan, but after living there for 19 years (Minnesota, not Valhalla), I have lots of Viking fan friends so I was hoping they could pull it off.
Twas not to be.
Always the bridesmaid…
I’m not a Jets fan but it was a nice win today. I didn’t think they had it in them.
Only saw highlights. The Browns don’t have a FG kicker?
Speaking of football, the SNF game is Buccaneers (with Tom Brady as QB) playing the Patriots at Foxborough. The “big storyline” is Brady coming home to play his old coach and team in front of many fans who still love him.
That’s all well and good.
BUT before the game started, they played a montage of past games and wins with Belichick and Brady and they PLAYED ADELE SINGING “HELLO”. Barf. Who comes up with that shit??
Then they immediately cut to Al Michaels who said dryly “There IS a football game tonight.” Good ol’ Al. He got suspended for a couple of games last year for making sarcastic (but subtle) remarks about covid hysteria. I’m glad they didn’t fire him. He’s always reliable for pointing out idiocy creeping into what should just be a sport.
Apparently I need to pay more attention to Al Michaels
Nice – I didn’t know that about Al.
No interest in the Tom Brady Show myself. I can’t stand the media’s tedious need to “Josie and the Pussycats” team sports, with giant photos of the superstars like they’re in a freaking boxing match and the rest of the team is an afterthought.
Yeah, the first week Al was out was called a “scheduled substitution” (they never called it a suspension but those “in the know” strongly hinted it), and the next week they said he was out “due to Covid protocols”. They refused to say if he’d tested positive. What he was asked about jt, he said he feels great, temperature 97.5 or something, looking forward to coming back “when they let me.”
The scheduled substitution was the week after he had suggested the Covid protocols were a bit over-the-top. I watch SNF every week so I found it more than a coincidence that he cast aspersions on NFL Covid Pearl-clutching and then was gone 2 weeks in a row. I’m not the only one who thought that but NFL will never admit it.
No, they won’t. They’re about as mainstream-culture as it gets, which these days means endless lies, obfuscation, and sweeping shit under the rug.
Al’s worst sin was that he didn’t say anything about BLM and kneeling during the anthem. After one game opening where the coverage of the kneeling was heavy, they then went to Michael’s, who said “And now let’s get to work.” Collinsworth subsequently said that he stands with the players and Al said nothing at all.
He was then pilloried as an asshole in the Daily Kos and lefty Twitter. They even researched and found out he had donated to Republican candidates!!!! Gasp!
When asked about the non commentary on BLM, he said something like that “both sides” need to figure out during the off-season how to keep it out of the NFL game coverage.
He’s right of course. Sports and politics should not mix. Sports is an escape.
1000x this
It’s walking a tightrope. I’d probably have been shitcanned long ago.
I think the distance has a lot to do with how much you’ll inhibit muscle growth when you incorporate running into your routine. I’m 40 and try to run three times per week, but I rarely go further than 5 or 6 miles. Usually it’s between 3 and 4. I’ve made strength gains with that schedule and a three day hybrid body weight routine but can’t say I’m getting bigger; my waist is actually smaller.
You and I have similar tastes with fitness channels. I found the Bioneer to be more useful than Athlean-X for my routine as I don’t pay for a gym membership and I have to get creative in order to not get bored. I’m also a fan of Goggins and have found some of his talks set to music which I’ve included in my workout playlist (along with Jocko, Joe Rogan, Alan Watts, CT Fletcher, and Jordan Peterson). I like to think of it as brain washing myself while I workout.

Some good quips in here

Dead lifts are good preparation for helping the commies with their mass graves.
Sigh… (((September))) is over. This is going to be my first full week of work since August, with all hands on deck and shit.
I like October. Fun times at the stock market.
My preop liquid diet begins tomorrow, and I am going to spend the next week moving our crap out of one house and into the other. So that’s Glibfit for this week. Then next week, I get my ulcers cut out (ooooh, I am so excited!) (/nosarc) so who knows how long that’s going to limit my intake, and I won’t be able to lift anything for a few weeks. Hopefully I’ll cull some of my body clutter.
Hopefully your ulcer surgery goes well.
Thanks! I have a long history of surgical complications, so all crossed fingers and good vibes welcome.
Good luck Moj…sorry you have to do all that heavy lifting right before your surgery 🙁
Well, since My Dude is at work until 430 and my kid doesn’t get home from school until 400, it’s up to me to get as much done as possible before they take over. I was 7.5 months pregnant when we moved in this house and we paid for the full move, packing and everything. Right now I’m deconditioned and I need the exercise. I swear I’m never paying for another full move like that again if I can do stuff myself. Movers coming the 18th just for the heavy stuff since I don’t want my family to break their backs.
Best wishes for a swift recovery.
I’m gonna send you an email tomorrow. Probably. Monday’s suck.
I’ll look for it!
I wanna shoot the whole day down.
Good vibes inbound, Mo’. And best wishes with the move, as well. Don’t overdo it!
I hope both your surgery and move go well.
Moving sucks. Packing and moving while on a liquid diet (non-alcoholic, at that!) sounds orders of magnitude worse. ? Please pace yourself!
I’mma cheat and live on chicken noodle soup.
Wishing you the best for the move and the surgery!!
You probably have lots of friends saying “let me know if there’s anything I can do to help!”
Take them up on it. People feel good when they can help, whether it’s with packing, moving, unpacking, or post op help like bringing food, cleaning, mowing, etc.
Excellent music choice, Chafed. Hard to pick a favorite AC/DC song, but that is definitely in the running.
Yup indeed. Powerage is probably my favorite album of theirs. Rock n’ Roll Damnation is top 5 for me. And I love Gone Shootin, Down Payment Blues, and Gimme a Bullet. Just some incredible rock and roll there.
Gone Shootin’ is also in the running. Powerage might also be my favorite album. It just kicks serious ass. I know what I’m listening to on the drive in to work tomorrow.
’74 Jailbreak for me. Love the early Australian singles.
Also great, I love the early Bon stuff so much.
I thought you would be pleased.

Mrs. Whiz and I went to Hawaii for a couple of weeks. (The COVID hysteria is another story, I won’t go into that here.) She had a bad hip and was using a 4-wheel scooter to get around, while I was hoofing it. Probably walked at least 3 miles a day. Didn’t gain or lose any weight.
About 10 years ago I gained 10 pounds above my “playing weight” of 30 years, and it has never gone away. Haven’t gained since then; however, with COVID I stopped going to the gym and I now have less muscle mass and a thicker layer of fat almost everywhere. (My waist size is still the same, I’ve been wearing 34-inch pants for 40+ years.) Time to start going to the gym for some lifting and cardio.
Funny thing, our NBC affiliate switched to the Spanish language audio for the second half of SNF. (Apparently the Spanish word for “fumble” is “fumble.”) This happened once before. This time I emailed the station to find out why, but haven’t heard back. Strange.
Where is this and why did it happen the first time?
Ames, Iowa. We don’t know why it did this before or now.
We did some checking and it’s our ROKU TV that is doing it, even though the language settings were for English. Our non-ROKU TV was transmitting in English. We are going to contact ROKU to find out if they know why this is happening (and without our doing anything).
Well, this is the most depressing pic I’ve seen in a while.
The last two years in a nutshell.
Very sad. We need a new level of hell for DeBlasio.
Well, yeah… but Deblasio is the least of what has gone sideways with the world in that picture.
Fair point. There’s Cuomo or maybe I should say there was Cuomo.
Also, my condolences on your new governor. If she and Newsom spawned, I think they would produce an actual demon.
Demon+Demon=Antichrist?
Demon & Demon sounds like a 70/80s TV show
Let’s modernize that.
Lemon & Lemon.
Don Lemon and his clone fighting the patriarchy and Trump’s evil plan to take over the world.
The sex scenes are… uncomfortable.
LOL
Obligatory.
That image is packed with implied deceptions and subtle manipulation.
The windows with bars that the kids can’t look out of predate current year.
I had a bad day, barely walked at all, and oddly I haven’t spoken a word all day. Mo, I hope things turn out well, and the rest of you get,
Tall Cans! Peace out!
Chin up and go at it again tomorrow, Y man!

They can lie, but you defeat them by living your own life within the truth.

For me, the lie that underwrites all the others is that there are no solutions that are legitimate w/o govt action or implicit govt acceptance.
WTF was that first cartoon?
I generally do not comment on the glibfit articles because3 they are at a bad time for me but since there was no late night article today here we go:
I’m 29 years old, aware of my age, and gaining muscle is not getting easier. – you are a long way away from anything significant in this regard so don’t worry about it
Jeff Cavaliere, of AthleanX fame, takes the latter view. As many of you know, I have enormous respect for his advice – you shouldn’t
Enter The Bioneer. – I saw that channel at some point but i cannot take anyone seriously who uses the term functional fitness and most of his stuff look like gimmicks
Meanwhile, there is lots of fitness advice that advocates against running if you want to gain mass – and this is correct
Running improves your fitness/endurance so muscle building workouts can go longer and/or harder. – doubtful. But depends on the workout I suppose
The overall effect is to make you more anabolic – very doubtful
Of course, running also helps you get and stay lean. -not really. not always. not for everyone.
Also I am still amused by people posting their body fat % with decimal points as if you could measure it with more than 3% accuracy or precision.

who is the youngest active glib?
I was thinking its Evan.
I wonder if she used air-quotes. You know, to really bring home the sneering contempt that the propagandists are seeking to impart.
There is little libertarianism in the Romanian people and little concept of negative vs positive rights.
The party that started the protest is a weird christian nationalist party. Not everyone who went supported that party. And there were more than 5000.

Morning, Glibs.
Good morning, U & Sean & Pie!
Two more work weeks, then I can take another week of vacation…I think. We have a new hire starting that Monday, and I can only get so far setting someone up in payroll before they show up on Day One. Maybe I’ll end up coming in that Thursday and/or Friday.
Got any plans?
Yes – going to Shawnee State Park Lodge down in southern Ohio for three nights. Hoping to catch some autumn color, ideally without the hordes of “leafers” that annually invade a similar area (Brown County) in southern Indiana.
Solid plan. 3-day weekend coming up, might just take a drive for the hell of it, might be some decent color north and west of here

Not peak, but decent. Good time to drive. NJ just reduced the gasoline tax (!)
sup’ cuh ?
Good morning, homey! How was work?
Its over with for a day or so. Monday is my Saturday, to you ‘normies’.
Wednesday will be Sunday, I think. Ive been doing overnights long enough, Im still never certain what day it is.
suh’ fam
whats goody yo
The weather today, fortunately. Good morning!
Good morning, limey! We’re predicted to have a warmish (mid-70s F) but cloudy & wet week. You might feel right at home here.
Same here. Looking at fog and drizzle right now, might as well be in London.
Today has been dry and sunny so far, and pleasantly cool. I achieving not much with my day off, unsure how to get to where I want to go with the next steps in my plans.
I really hate my new job. I don’t want to end up like any of the people there; a mix of personality disorders or people who are totally Stockholm syndromed to the job, and probably the absolute worst management I have ever experienced, by a long way. I have plans though, just little time to realise them. I need to get out.
I guess I needed to vent that.
Thats what we’re here for. Work fucked-up and gave me the night off. Im already on Tall Cans™ #2, and sitting in my underwear.
I’ve acquired a case of ‘acute rectal glaucoma’.
Basically, I cant see my ass doing much of anything today.
“Acute Rectal Glaucoma”.
Lol. Good album name.
Mornin’ all.
Mornin’ all! Too danged tired to hang about. Have a dandy if you can.
You know what I never understood about most writers of fan fiction – why they want to play with someone else’s characters. It makes even less sense when they take these secondhand characters and remove them from the setting entirely. At that point, why are you bothering with it? Just write your own characters.
It’s always the setting I find more fascinating to play with than the characters.
Good morning to Ghostpatzer, Festus, Pie, Sean, GT, Tres, UCS, and everyone else ?
Morning.
Good Morning!
Mornin’. Sorry about your job situation. Plenty of openings here if that’s an option.
