Hey Mark, what were your PRs in competition?

I'm assuming dsp's assumption would only apply to raw lifts, as opposed to gear assisted lifts, which in that case, the squat numbers would be usually higher?

Have any of you guys ever had any dry-aged beef? I have some in my freezer, along with a dog we used to own. I sure hope the power doesn't go out.

You damn Texans and your easy access to dry aged beef. How much you get it for, three dollars a pound or something equally disgusting?

If the dog's been in there long enough, you won't have too much to worry about if you lose power, it'll have gotten pretty dessicated.

This is incidentally, one of the better thread derailments I've seen.

The last batch I got for $2.31/lb. He's raping me this time at $3.39.

I have a propane generator, so I was just funning about the power.

And there are absolutely no mosquitoes out right now.

What's with all of the obnoxious questions? If his squat/deadlift were nearly 1:1 and he specified the bench was in a t-shirt and that his squat sucked, then the squat and deadlift were in a supportive single ply suit and the bench was 110% RRRAAAWWW. Keep in mind that the gear back in the day was nothing like today, which is a problem with powerlifting record consistency and comparison of 70s/80s strength vs 2010s robotic hydraulic 5 ply canvas suit high squat strength.

I was going to suggest (due to that sudden swarm of gnats) that some other sort of repellent might be in order...

Are you serious about those prices of dry-aged beef in Texas? In Columbus, OH the cheapest dry-aged beef I have seen in the past year was $16.99/lb...

[Mark Rippetoe]

I buy in quantity.

[Thyge Riisgaard]

Yo Mark, how much ya' curl?

[Mark Rippetoe]

I hope you appreciate the value of having sild available in your stores every day. In Texas there is seldom sild available, and when it is, it is shitty.
