I just get them at the grocery store here. They are made by Quaker. They are right next to the other flavored rice cakes like apple cinnamon and caramel.

greekblondechic · 02-09-2004, 05:24 PM

Mmmm rice cakes... are these considered "slow burners" since theyre made from brown rice???

Jill · 02-09-2004, 05:37 PM

Ive never ever EVER seen the pb flavor?

**P-funk** · 02-09-2004, 07:05 PM

They are not made rom brown rice and they are defenitly not slow burning carbs. I use them for my post workout insulin spike.

Hmm, welll, carmel flavor is good too if you can't find the pb ones.

8 reps x 2 sets

Then one of my friends was squatting and I was spotting him so I couldn't resist and I did some sets of squats for fun. 4 sets with 225, 3 sets with 245 and 3 sets with 275.

myCATpowerlifts · 02-10-2004, 03:39 PM

I got a rotator cuff injury over a year ago, i kept going and going tho, and it got really messed up...its better now, but it still hurts everynow and then, plus i cant arm wrestle anymore
and throwing as fast as possible is not smart either....

**P-funk** · 02-11-2004, 06:15 AM

Well, I tested my BF% today. I was very hard on myself and did it three times to make sure. I am sitting at 11.5%. I am 15 weeks away from a show. I have dieted before and cut down to 5% but never with a specific day to aim for. Can anyone who has been there before tell me if this is good or bad at 15 weeks out?

Triple Threat · 02-11-2004, 10:52 AM

Just finished reading through a week's worth of posts. Weights are looking good, P-funk.

Good luck for the final 4 months.

**P-funk** · 02-11-2004, 07:47 PM

thanks capt.

God I hate this shit. I almost don;t want to compete because I hate losing size/weight. I would rather be a fat pig and strong as an ox than be skinny, no matter how cut I am. People are starting to tell me how I look a lot thinner. I hate this shit! GRRR.

Triple Threat · 02-12-2004, 06:19 AM

The strong as an ox part sounds good. The fat pig part - not-so-good. I completely sympathize with your thoughts, though.

**IainDaniel** · 02-12-2004, 06:49 AM

Fat pig at 11.5% BF

Man I must be a beluga whale

I didn't say I was fat. I said I'd rather be fat than skinny. Right now I feel tiny!!

x~factor · 02-12-2004, 07:28 AM

Isn't that to be expected? Kind of like Lee Priest. He's literally half the person when in competition form compared to when he's bulking up.

**P-funk** · 02-12-2004, 07:29 AM

Yeah it is to be expected. But I don't like it. I would much rather just be big then be shredded up and small.

atherjen · 02-12-2004, 07:59 AM

you are NOT tiny mister!! smarten up! I wont hear anymore! your doing great!

Triple Threat · 02-12-2004, 08:11 AM

You're in trouble now, P-funk. The mighty Jen has spoken. Listen and obey.

Just like x-factor said, with a shirt on you look small, no matter how cut up you are. I could care less if I take my shirt off and look ripped. I don't walk around with my shirt off. I am not a big fan of the summer and rarely go to the beach anyway. taking my shirt off is not something I really do so I ujst like trying to look big.

Whatever, I am going to do this show just to do it. I want to say that I did a show so I am jsut going to do it. Then maybe after that I may never do another show. Maybe I'll get into powerlifting and my bf% will never go below 10% again!

What are you using for the extra weight, plates or dumbbells?
Do you have a special harness to hold the extra weight or is it just a belt with chain?

**P-funk** · 02-13-2004, 06:12 PM

I am using plates (two 45s and one 25lb plate) held on a belt with a chain.
