Squats the Story MkII- Off topic thread

Just noticed the thread on steroids got closed. Mods, I think the talk about it should just get over and done with. People are going to post every now and again over it but at least let this thread, or open another, run through and take its course.

I'm not advocating the use or sale of them but that thread in-particular wasn't advocating the usage. At least if the thread ran, when it got out of hand the lock it but for anyone who does post in future about roids, then just refer them to that.

Outline the charter in the OP and most/all of the current H&F forum users will abide and talk only of the negatives/positives and just have a general discussion.

I know ye'll see this as silly but I think it may be a good idea to get it all out in the air once and for all.

Oh the innocence. This has been tried, it ends up a mess.

There are plenty of forums for the discussion of steroids, this isn't one of them.

One of my mates was training topless one day and was mid set when this crazy fat prick came over and through his t shirt at him and told him to put it on right now that he was fed up of seeing him half naked. The dude is ripped like, jealousy is all I can put it down to. But anyway, my mate obliged and said sure just after this set and the other dude cracked up completely.

I'm ripped and I think training topless (in a public gym) is ridiculous.

On a scale of one to ten how odd is it that every time it's the slightest bit warm in my gym, 3-4 lads will be in there working out with no tops on?

Training topless in a gym in Ireland is a bit odd.
I have never seen it in the gym I go to. If you're training at home or on your own then its a different story.

Have you read the charter?

H&F Charter wrote:

No Steroid Pushing
General discussion about steroids is fine but absolutely no pushing, advise on how to use, information on where to buy or detail on how to use them will be tolerated.

Don't believe that thread violated the above, so maybe adding a change noting that even general discussion is not fine would be helpful.

While I agree pushing or 'how to's' are silly, the basic train of advice in the locked thread is surely a positive: i.e., 'don't use unless you're in consultation with a medical professional and are at a very mature stage in your training history'. Anyway.

Training topless just shouldn't be done in a commercial gym, hello scabies, hello ringworm

only for 50% of the population. The other half can train in whatever they please.

You'd swear soem of you had never seen a pair before. The other half should be confined to a well fitting sports bra and a pair of leggings that doesn't go so thin it when stretched that it exposes their lower colon when deadlifting. fact

The mental scarring is worse than any scabies or ringworm.

It was just an answer. I'm not saying you can't go ahead.

General discussion of steroids is fine. If you want to start a general discussion thread fire away. I'd put money on it having to be locked within 2 hours because it's gone from the general to the specific. Within that time athletes of every discipline will be called into question as well, infractions will be handed out and hissy fits will ensue.

But as I said, it's not against the rules so no one can stop you.

I'm not enough in the know to create a thread about it, I was just suggesting that it be made to clear the air about it.

LuckyLloyd expressed his view on the matter and probably has more knowledge then me on the matter so if he wants to go ahead, then he can.


And general discussion was being had in the latest thread, nobody was saying sure try this and that and nobody even said Eat clean, tren hard. I think it was prematurely closed with two posters having a good tit for tat on the matter.

Can you please expand on how the previous thread had violated the 'general discussion is fine' rule? Thanks in advance

Burger King Launching New Lower Calorie Fries.......

NEW YORK — Burger King wants people to feel less guilty about gobbling up its french fries.

The world's No. 2 hamburger chain is launching a new crinkle-cut french fry on Tuesday that it says has about 20 percent fewer calories than its regular french fries.

The chain says a small order of the new "Satisfries" clocks in at 270 calories because of a new batter that doesn't absorb as much oil. By comparison, a small order of its regular fries, sans crinkles, has 340 calories.

Satisfries, LOL.

He has a point.

As a rule, mod actions are not really a matter of public discourse. It's not a hard and fast rule, but I think it's a good way to go.

I'll answer any questions you have by PM.

You're not around long enough to get it.

It always crosses the line quickly.

And gives the mods a ton of
Work to do.

Then change the charter and bar all discussion. You can't say 'general discussion is fine' but then close a thread that is still general with the reasoning 'oh but I'm sure it will move from the general eventually'.

Moved house over the weekend so havn't done any training since Friday morning and ate like a horse all weekend feel like a slob now.

Although moving from a 3rd floor apartment on wexford street with no lift for ~8 hours is some good conditioning work

The new house has an amazing kitchen though and a huge freezer so I'm going to make all kinds of cooking gains!

I've noticed over the last while on the interwebs, that phrases such as "do you even lift", "come at me bro" etc. have been used regularly.

Since when has it become acceptable to use such crap talk?

amazingemmet

@Dexter16 all those phrases are said in jest about taking the piss out of prominent youtube fitness people.

Dexters16

Oh yea i understand it being used on here like that.

But i see too many actually thinking its acceptable.

It makes me cringe!!

Well fortunatly you're not the word police, Got a problem then come at me ..... Brah!

In all seriousness I'm Mirin' your stand against thishopefully it will lead to all kindz of gainz for the english language, No Homo.
