Dr. Pomade

Okay, update on my mission: The eBay link posted by Ramsey shows that the bidding for the Oliver Peoples - 523 (OP-523) sunglasses is over. So, I was too late, and now some clown is sporting my fucking glasses. Awesome. I just called Oliver Peoples directly and spoke to the corporate office. I asked the sales woman about their availability, and she said, "Oh, yeah, the Fight Club glasses! They have been discontinued, although we did briefly re-release them for the 10-year anniversary of the movie." Fuck, so I had a chance to just buy them outright, but, again, I'm late to the party. My next move is to call each individual Oliver Peoples boutique to see if they have any in. There appear to be eight boutiques - they have them in NYC, Italy, and Tokyo. Even if I have to fly to fucking Japan, I'm getting these glasses.

Do you want us to edit them? I can delete the quote from my post if you'd like.

Yeah, ideally, I'd like to have two scoops (i.e., about 30 to 40 grams) of whey protein immediately post-workout. However, I don't live close to the gym and, with traffic, I don't get home (to the blender) quick enough to get in the protein shake. So, my next best thing is to take the Muscle Milk's with me - their portable and I can have them immediately after. The way I see it: some protein (even if it's not the best protein) immediately post-work out > no protein at all (and watching my muscles eat themselves post-workout).

What the hell?

Yeah, the hating is fairly strong in this thread.

Yeah, I was just saying that to R1 John in the gym - I'll buy them and end up sitting on them or something. But, fuck, they're awesome.

Wait, shit, so I owe you $30 too? Ha, I suck at the scrolling, apparently. Listen, if I score these glasses, then I'd be so happy I'll easily dole out the $60.

You = my hero?

Badass, AMIRITE????

Wow, I owe you $30.

Nice ninja edit. Yeah, not them either. They just look fake, IMHO.

PCT?

Damn, 22lbs in 2 months is no joke. Big ups to you on that, homie. Judging from the pic you posted on FB, I'm guessing your body fat percentage is still relatively low - which makes the 22lbs in 2 months that much more impressive. As for me: Pre-workout: some carbs (e.g., few slices of wheat bread) + 8oz of orange juice mixed with one scoop of whey protein + caffeine or NO Explode Post-workout: Muscle Milk (32g protein) immediately after OR two scoops of whey protein (if I can make it home to a blender within 30 minutes from getting out of gym)

No, those are knock-off's. I actually bought them already (like a year or so ago, maybe?), so I know they are cheapo's.

Like these, though I swore the ones he wore in the earlier part of the movie had thicker frames and might of even have been gold. http://www.celebrity-sunglasses-finder.com/image-files/olivers_people_op-523.gif

I will pay $30 to anyone who can find me the sunglasses worn by Brad Bitt's character in Fight Club. I've been trying for years to find them with no success.

I am losing it reading this thread. Seriously laughing out loud. The cptn janks pic of the psychedelic is pure awesome.

BTW, to the OP: I thought Eminem sounded great last night. I also agree with the other comments: Lil Wayne sounded awful and I don't have a fucking clue who Drake is, but he sounded like ass too. I've been saying this for years (though I have absolutely no credibility to back this up): Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. Maybe it's because I'm white and biased?

Did you just shake your head to someone indicating that Beastie Boys are a good example of old school hip hop? WTF is wrong with you? Beastie Boys ARE old school hip hop.

I don't know which is more dumb - this poorly staged video or the fact you thought it was real.

I just triple post pressed this entire thread.

And to add to this, an article I recently read indicate that, because of the sheer size of the quads, working out your legs significantly enhances overall metabolism (which, of course, is great - and necessary - for building lean muscle, etc.)

Absolutely not. Drunken front kicks should be done with little to no warm up at all. Drunken roundhouses and drunken scissor kicks, however, should be preceded with 20 sets of fist pumps and two Jagerbombs, which should be an effective warm up.

Yeah, that is what I meant to convey. Hal, I hear what you're saying though. I just meant that, if you're into bodybuilding, then, IMHO, diet counts for a lot.

A few thoughts: Whoever said to stretch before working out is wrong. You never stretch a cold muscle, according to prevailing current standards. Whoever said that a muscle can completely recover in 24 hours is completely wrong. Most experts would contend that even the smaller muscles that can be worked out twice in a seven day span - such as abs and calves - still need at least more than 24 hours to recover. Whoever said that a tricep is a small muscle is wrong. Yeah, maybe small compared to a pec or a quad, but a tricep is still a fairly substantial muscle, especially in relation to the arm. Want big arms? Focus more on triceps before you focus more on biceps. Whoever said recovery is essential is absolutely correct. Shanton, about your "playboy" workout, I've heard many a meathead say: "The top won't grow unless you feed the bottom." They swear that you can't get bigger up top until you work your legs. Not sure how correct that is, but I figured I'd share with you nonetheless. (FWIW, I noticed substantial gains in my upper body once I started doing legs, so, in my case, the meatheads were right.) I firmly believe that, in terms of how you look, 80% of it has to do with what you eat. You can be in the gym 24/7, but if you eat like shit, then you'll just end up looking like shit. If you're trying to sculp your body, then you absolutely MUST eat better.
