They are much better with milk. I'd imagine soy milk would be similar, as I've tried some soy milk that is pretty good. But if no milk is available, hope the oreos are the double stuffed ones, that will be a little bette rthan regular ones plain.

Funny how this is a genral health thread, and I bring up cookies, lol

[Smokey Joe]

If you wanna gain weight... eat cookies.

My cousin is a vegan, and this will truly surprise you...

The only mass produced cookie that is vegan approved is the Oreo.

Another reason why Oreos are the best thing in the world... even for vegans.

I"m not vegan haha. Cheese if fine, some ice creams, butter. I usually stay away from them. Cheese I like so I try to limit it to once or twice a week. Ice Cream usually never eat. Butter....I like my olive oil spreads, and not the crap ones with water based olive oil spread.

If I may ask, which religion?

For instance, I wouldn't last a day being Jewish. I don't care what they say... once the pig is killed and chopped up and shipped, the pig is clean.

reminds me of:
Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you
saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about
bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

Neither would I, I'm uncircumcised.
















Just kidding, but you thought about it.

[awfullyquiet]

Did you know like only 1/3 of males in America are circumcised? I found that shocking... I thought almost everyone was.

Okay, back to weight lifting... So today, I squatted. Fun stuff.

No way. Not that many dudes have anteaters.




Two five year old boys are standing at the potty to pee.

When one says, " Your thing doesn't have any skin on it!"

" I've been circumcised." Says the second boy.

" What does that mean?"

"It means they cut the skin off the end."

" How old were you when it was cut off?"

" My mom said that I was two days old."

" Did it hurt?"

" You bet it hurt, I couldn't walk for a year!"




Why are Jewish men circumcised? Because Jewish women won't touch anything unless it's 20 percent off!

Best cookie? Hmm.. Probably Monster cookie or oatmeal cookie ( homemade of course)

[TACKLE]

I got to go with white chocolate macadamia nut. Though home made chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin are both awesome.

[CJSchneider]

I love it when the weightlifting and fitness thread morphs into the cookie thread.

[Smokey Joe]

I could go for some fudge right now...

But the best store bought cookies are chips ahoy chewy... I could eat those all day.

I always squat down during my hang cleans, but for power cleans, I usually go half way.

I know some guys that catch it so low, and I am pretty sure that is how to do them by the book. I can't catch it so low tho: it feels unnatural to me.

I ate lots of cookies last night. I think they were chewy chips a hoy. Drank lots of beer as well. Good night, but so much for that race haha.

[CJSchneider]

Chewy Chips Ahoy + Beer = nasty burps (I would imagine)

[Smokey Joe]

For front squats, does it matter how you have your arms? I usually cross my arms cause it helps me balance the bar better, but I usually see people in examples and such with the elbows out.

[Rob S]

I always cross my arms. I dont do them that much tho (just every now and then to switch it up) so take it for what its worth.

[bantx]

I only caught it low when it was heavy weights cause its a lot easier to squat it up.

I have to have my elbows out otherwise it hurts my back and doesn't feel like it's balanced right.
