re: I still prefer instant grits
Posted by TU Rob on 4/23/24 at 9:14 am
They have a place, but it is usually on a kids plate. It doesn't take that long to cook proper grits, if you have about 15-20 minutes. Every Saturday morning I make cheese grits and eggs. My youngest is 5 and always eats them with me. The others are about 50/50 if they want either, but he always...

[quote]I'm around 15-20% right now and I can feel it. I'm watching my diet pretty close and on TRT so I'm wondering how much of it is losing muscle mass and how much is due to only eating about 200g of carbs/day. Hardly getting a pump is not fun.[/quote]
I'm carrying a little extra right now. Ab...
re: Who would win a fight with yourself?
Posted by TU Rob on 4/18/24 at 6:22 pm
I’ve got 25 lbs on younger me and am in pretty good shape. Lift regularly and have a ton of stamina. I actually like working out. Teenage me was scrawny and hated offseason workouts. Dad strength and old man strength would win out. Teenage me could run for days though and was speedy so he might tuck...

re: How much do you spend annually on flowerbeds?
Posted by TU Rob on 4/17/24 at 9:41 am
We used to plant flowers in some of the beds out front, add pine straw, moved shrubs around, all that usual stuff. Now I just leave shrubs alone, trim them back when necessary, and add pine straw about once a year. If I'm being real cheap, I'll rake up the straw from the backyard and move it aroun...

re: Looking for thoughts on my current lifting routine

[quote]I think trying to limit total lifts and incorporate lifts that hit multiple muscle groups is a great idea.[/quote]
Split training, or supersets/circuit training, are great at this. I've been doing a 3-day split program. None of it is super heavy, outside of legs and chest/back. It is a ...

re: Business owners or HR managers: question regarding FMLA/ADA
Posted by TU Rob on 4/7/24 at 6:26 pm
Correct, FMLA protects the employment of someone needing a short term medical leave. It is not paid, although many employers will pay a portion of it. Our policy is basically set up to get someone to be covered under disability. We will protect your job for three months, but after that you will h...
