Olive Garden? Damn, she must feel special.

black_angus · 07-13-2012, 08:16 AM

I took my ex to Olive Garden once. I had $30 in gift cards from after-prom, so we pretty much ate for free.

#YOLO · 07-13-2012, 08:35 AM

Your prom date wasnt mad that you didnt take him?

black_angus · 07-13-2012, 08:39 AM

That was just a prison thing.

So, we live in NYC which probably has the largest number of awesome italian restaurants outside of freaking Italy. We've been to a number of amazing ones.

The wife still prefers Olive Garden. I seriously bertstare her every single time she suggests it. She had me take her there for her birthday one year, even. She also absolutely loves Red Lobster, though to be fair, most of the seafood places we've been to haven't been particularly impressive to me, given the cost. Even if they have amazing reviews.

On a completely different note, I'm a little concerned about my muscle soreness. Ever since my squat/frsq/rdl workout on monday(well really, since tuesday morning) my hamstrings and hip abductors have been RIDICULOUSLY sore. Like, hurts to sit down, and hobbled when I walked sore. They were getting better yesterday, and they are much better today, but still not 100%. They are tender to the touch, but they don't generally affect my walking anymore.

Honestly, never had DOMS like this before. I know it's mostly because I'm in a deficit and still pushing the weight up, and I'm also sort of happy because it's a good indication that I got my form on RDLs really solid. But it's pretty annoying, all things considered. I was hoping to ride my bicycle to work a few times this week, and I just couldn't manage it. Hope it doesn't affect my deadlifts today, and hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow for my hike.

I haven't quite had DOMS as bad as you described, but just recently incorporating RDL's into my lifts has definitely killed my ***/hammies for a few days afterwards. Like you said, obviously lets me know I'm hitting them RDL's right, and that those areas were lacking, even though I've always done regular DL's.

And then riding my bike, gat dayum brosephus!! I'm convinced RDL's are one of the best exercises for cyclists, especially for climbers.

I feel you on the leg DOMS, I've had the same thing happen to me. In fact I can still feel some lingering soreness in my hams after working them on Monday.

Have you done any stretching? Normally once I stretch out a little and loosen up most of the soreness goes away unless I'm really looking for it. Some weeks standing up and sitting down is a real ***** though no matter what I do.

I stretch, foam roll, and do other mobility drills 3-5x per week. Every lifting day and occasionally off days.

I also use a lacross ball on some stuff when I feel the need. My wife will mash my calves and shoulders/upper back for me if I ask her to. She's been wrecking my calves for me every night this week since they got super tight from running on Sunday.

Red Lobster is better seafood than Olive Garden is italian. That being said, I've only been to Olive Garden once, and I don't go to Red Lobster very often anyway.

Once a year, this town about 10 minutes from here does a surf and turf, done by the firemen. This year was my first year doing it and it was ****ing awesome.
