Toast Points: The Week of March 28th

canyonRemember this week? Remember? [Slides a $50 across the table] Maybe this will jog your memory.

Okay, that’s it. My hair looks so good today I’m going to go to the gym and start doing The Rock’s Hercules workout (that’s not a joke, immense thanks to @Absotively for posting a link to it in the comments yesterday because it happened to dovetail perfectly with my new desire to become the strongest ladyblogger in the world).

EXCELSIOR.

    I got mentioned in a Toast post! Eeeeee!

    Note that it’s not really so much The Rock’s workout as it is a workout pieced together from The Rock’s tweets by a website that specializes in celebrity workouts. Of course, that might be close enough.

    No no no Mallory ask Nicole to get you started on Starting Strength or another appropriate novice lifting program (Strong Lifts is fine, or New Rules of Lifting for Women, or google Neghar Fonooni or Jen Sinkler) if you want to be the World’s Strongest Ladyblogger! That workout is a bodybuilding program (so you look strong, but actual strength is questionable) for a dude who has been lifting since he was in his mother’s womb, and would not be the best place for you to start!

    FOR REALZ

    ETA: for one slice into this truth, please reference this youtube video which shows how well a bodybuilder keeps up with other strength sport folks.

    P.S. I SAY THIS OUT OF LOVE

        Sorry if that was a bit over the top and extremely earnest, I just have this crazy bias against bodybuilding workouts for anything other than competitions.

            Why did you mention this? I had no idea who this dude was, and now I’m reading an article about his website and saying “ugh” a lot and I’m pretty sure I was happier never having heard of him.

            I do support you lifting him over your head, though.

            You’re planning to bodyslam him or suplex him upon getting him over your head, right?

            Yeah.. squat and power clean a whole bunch. Also, please reference this video by my current lifting coaches.

            omg, I want a Nicole and Mallory Feel the Burn workout camp where we can learn to throw men around for fun or something.

            OMG it would be like Autostraddle- Camp but more aerobic and a tiny bit more heterosexual!

    The hardest I ever laughed this week was when I read Ganondorf’s playlist. I can’t stop picturing him as a special guest star on The O.C. now.
