The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

[Ethan]

Mark Bell annoys the shit out of me for some reason.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

I like Mark Bell. I listen to his podcast, occasionally watch the power project. His voice can be annoying at times when it gets high and excited though.

Maybe you don't like him because of bigger, stronger, faster.

Sup fellas. I have to questions.

1. Is there any proven reason that brown rice is healthier than white rice?

2. To look or not to look in the mirror while squatting and deadlifting?

 

[Ethan]

Haven't watched bigger stronger faster yet. Dunno what it is.

I wouldn't look in the mirror while lifting.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

That first question would like be answered in D&S.

That second question. If possible, no.

 

[Dinamita95]

Thanks fellas

 

[Ethan]

Actually watching BSF now. I appreciate Bell being open about gear but he still bugs me a bit. No idea why.

I prefer to look in the mirror while Squatting and Deathlifting. And not just because I'm really, really ridiculously good looking.:icon_chee Because it helps me spot flaws in my technique.

Slow pub day.

'Cause I'm busy helping my Team prepare to kick your Team's collective ass in the Comp. Even the Dark Knight only has so much Prep Time to go around.:icon_twis

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

That's what vid-ya is for, son.

You are not batman. Sorry to inform you of this fact.

Despite your insult, good luck in your lifting endeavours.

True, but watching myself in the mirror means I can make adjustments during a set, rather than waiting until I've watched the video.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

You should make as few adjustments as possible during a squat set and a mirror is a poor judge of depth. Pulls are slightly different but a mirror gives one view.

Well, obviously I can't claim to be Batman...I'm just saying that no one has ever seen Batman and I in a room together. Make of that what you will.:icon_chee

No real insult was intended, merely friendly banter. Good luck to you as well, and props on the avatar. Coan's face on Conan's body was a stroke of genius.

I tend to compensate by Squatting below what the mirror shows as parallel. It's a matter of individual preference, of course, but I much prefer Squatting and Pulling in front of a mirror.

Mark bell is awesome, i love him

1) All the mirrors from my gym have been removed. No points for guessing why, or whether anybody misses them.

2) Brown rice has more vitamins, minerals, protein, fibre, than white rice - it's fairly easy to google the appropriate nutritional facts. But the difference is much smaller than many people or sources might lead you to believe. If the rest of your diet is on track I don't think the choice of white rice or brown is likely to make much difference.

I appreciate Mark Bell's honesty and he seems OK. Strong dude and says it like it is. The Supertraining meets wouldn't exist without him and they're fucking cool.

I hope this comp runs well, our team seems pretty goddamn solid and consistent so would be good if it brought F13 together a little. God knows the main is nearly a fucking wasteland recently.

Tosa is right about rice, minimal difference except one, which for me is huge - cooking time. Brown rice takes so fucking long to cook to a decent level, I can't be bothered, although it does taste better to me. I choose it on my burritos when I can as some other sap has to cook that shit.

Could not agree more. Setting up the Comp was the longest time I've spent in the Main recently. I mostly hang out here, Mayberry or the War Room.

So, anyone know which section of the forum your posts do not count?
