Why have a 6 pack when you can have a whole keg?

Definitely, but I also don’t care for the flavor any more. It just tastes weird.

Now butter on the other hand… holy shit. You just can’t replace that flavor. It’s amazing.

Several years ago I became allergic to milk (like actually allergic, not lactose intolerant). I’m doing oral immunotherapy treatments for it now, so I have to drink 20mL of it a day. I used to love milk before I became allergic to it. Now I can’t stand it. I’m not sure how I enjoyed it so much.

What about other peoples’ farts?

Mine autocorrects normal words to cuss words.

Well. Shit.

This extension is great! Thank you.

Calling a pie a quiche would upset more people. Thus quiche.

Exactly. And if I press it out a bit, who cares? Anyone who’s depending on pressing strength to get it overhead is just not going to do well.

Ugh, yes.

Olivia Reeves’ WR C&J had just as much oscillation. I hate to say that since I’m a big fan, but I could see it.

Yes, pretty much. The weight should go up because of the explosive movement from your lower body. The arms are just meant to catch it overhead.

Excellent movie.

Holy shit. I had completely forgotten about this book.

Actually I still can’t remember it because I was young when I read it, but I def remember the artwork.

One of my hobbies is the sport of weightlifting (the snatch and the clean & jerk). There is a rule called the Pressout Rule that keeps lifters from pressing the weight out overhead - basically you can’t catch a weight overhead and then muscle it out to full extension. This rule is pretty unpopular with a lot of folks because the judges judging the lift may see your arm shake a bit and decide it was a pressout. I’m not a big fan of the rule.

Ah, that’s a bummer. Thank you for finding it!

I need to print this out and put it up somewhere. If I even remember to do it. I’m such a dummy who can’t remem-

OK I’m going to print this right now.

It accumulates in bone, yes, but not all of it does. It also collects in blood and organs where it is passes fairly quickly. The FDA sets their guidelines based on safe blood levels of lead and their recommendation is I think 1/10 the actual value to build in a pretty big safety buffer.

We’re already exposed to lead constantly through the environment, etc. It’s not just present in foods and other man made things. It’s definitely in many of the foods we eat, not just protein powder. Root vegetables, grain crops, etc. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0963996920303951

I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad idea to try your best, but I also don’t think it’s worth stressing over with these protein powders compared to other stuff you may already be ingesting.

This is not really a big deal.

The MADL for lead outlined by Proposition 65 is 0.5 µg of lead per day. This value was set, arbitrarily in 1989, even though scientific evidence continues to show that it’s wildly unrealistic and not remotely near an exposure that would be a health concern. It remains unchanged because Prop 65 is a political tool, not a scientific one. Consumer Reports decides to ignore FDA interim reference levels for lead in their assessment. These levels are 8.8 µg per day for reproductive age females and 12.5 µg for general adults, 17.6-times and 25-times higher daily exposure levels compared to the Prop 65 levels, respectively, and are already extremely conservative (more on how those are calculated in a moment).

Not saying you shouldn’t take it into consideration, but it’s not as big of a deal as CR is making it out to be.

Good point.

Oh, good… looks at my Pixel 10 Fold
