Mickie Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 ... anyone happen to watch it?I know it's not exactly a prime way to lose weight and that the approach used tends to lead to regaining pounds later in life by most people who attempt similar methods and that their commercials are chock full of processed garba- erm, I mean "health food", but... I still can't help it. I like watching the show.*sad slightly guilty face* Quote I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Philipians 4:13 AWESOME TEAM OF FLYING MONGOOSES!

CalvinHobbes Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Haha I'm the same way--my roommates watch it, but unlike the real housewives of whatever I don't run from the room screaming. And I have secret competitions between myself and some of the contestants. I must look better than Conda at the finale!! Quote Link to comment
bigm141414 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 It used to be a guilty pleasure of mine. I would sit on the couch and eat ice cream watching it. I still watch it but now without the ice cream. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment

And I have secret competitions between myself and some of the contestants. I must look better than Conda at the finale!!Oh, God - I tried watching the Real Housewives show once (I can't remember which state/city/whatever it was in) and could not stop laughing/smacking my forehead over the drama these people put themselves through. But yeah, competing with the BL contestants sounds great! I never thought of it that way, maybe I should try that out. (Also: Conda gives me such a headache.)It used to be a guilty pleasure of mine. I would sit on the couch and eat ice cream watching it. I still watch it but now without the ice cream.Without the icecream - but with the bacon, haha (or kalechips, in my case).Holy crap I saw thenm teaching power cleans! First time I've seen heavy barbell stuff.Bob looks like he's really getting into it, too! I've always wondered what the contestants' workouts looked like off-camera, and if it included heavy lifting.

bigm141414 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yup watched Bob do a squat clean. It was a good form squat too. I have new respect for that man. Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
wildross Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 He mentioned that he is getting into CrossFit. I had to explain the difference between Olympic lifting and lifting in the Olympics to my wife (Emily did the first, not the second). So yeah, we watch it. No ice cream this time either. I'm constantly amazed at what they are able to do physically. It really challenges me to push myself harder in the gym. I guess sort of like CalvinHobbes. Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Bob has incorporated crossfit workouts into his training for awhile now. Noticed it last season when they were doing wall balls and pushing sleds.But yeah, I've watch he last half dozen seasons or so. It used to be with ice cream, now I usually do at least 100 push ups over the course of the show.

wildross Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 We wonder what they are doing different behind the scenes (or if they just have some unmotivated contestants). They have not lost weight nearly as fast this season as before. Very rarely has anyone lost in double digits, not even the big guys. I would love to have the story behind the story.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 BTW, Mickie, bangin avatar! I just got back from spring training in Clearwater, it was a blast.We wonder what they are doing different behind the scenes (or if they just have some unmotivated contestants). They have not lost weight nearly as fast this season as before. Very rarely has anyone lost in double digits, not even the big guys. I would love to have the story behind the story.We noticed at the beginning of the season that most of them started off smaller than usual. But yeah, the really big dudes haven't been puling double digits.
