Tip Toeing in my Vibrams

[MarkKO]

Looking jacked as usual. Geezus.

I was thinking "chubby."

Scale says 198. Doubt it's accurate, but that'd be the heaviest I've ever been.

Why doubt its accuracy? Does it have a history of being out of whack?

TBH on your height that looks around what a decent 198 lbs looks like so I see no reason to doubt it too much.

It's probably close enough for my needs, but it's a $50.00 Salter scale, which makes me question if it was really worth $30.00 two or three years ago.

The little dial gets thrown off sometimes just by stepping off the damn thing, so I think it's only good for ballpark figures.

Looked up kasekrainer. Looks awesome.

I like to dress 'em like hot dogs, with Weinerschnitzel chili. An overindulgence, but worth it.

I think you are just feeding the internet trolls with the Austrian food consumption. If you start posting in Lederhosen that guy will lose his mind.

He's probably already lost his mind.

But yeah ... I dunno why, but I'm a sucker for wurst.

I'm not above trying if I could. As long as those long socks could hold up against the knurling.

You do dig the primitive stuff. As I do too, gonna check this out. I have Pleasure to Kill and Coma of Souls on CD and always preferred the former for the death metally sound that got lost later.

I'll have to give Coma of Souls a listen, since I've seen it come up a lot as a recommendation.

Couldn't really get into Extreme Aggression and Terrible Certainty, but there's something about their very early stuff that resonates.

Wasn't expecting any sort of PR today, but the warmup weights felt lighter than usual. The long rest between the last session may explain some things, but the lower bodyweight -- at 190 -- does not.

Might've had 345, but I wasn't going to push it.

Some other time.

I could add, in the local vernacular, Diakachimba!, which translates to F***ing A!
