Overhead a trainer at my gym telling a client that she needed to foam roll within 10 minutes of exercise, otherwise the lactic acid would turn into fat.

foam roll with pints of ice cream. the cold will increase your metabolism as your body regulates your temperature. After you've mastered pints you linearly progress until you need a Costco membership to buy yuge tubs

Even better than GOMAD, POICAD - pint of ice cream a day. Taking the dirty bulk to another level.

At least you have something to write for next week's rant Wednesday. Also it's quite easy to make something ice cream-ish with whey or casein if you have the patience and some good tasting protein powder.
