Both teams won in Rugby yesterday, which makes both of our teams 3-1 in league. Puts us in third place behind Army (who we haven't played) and Stonybrook (who is our -1), I think. D3 team I'm not sure where we stack up. I got to hit people though, it was cool. Glad to be playing again. Nice :-D I tackled someone so hard on the first play of the game that I chipped my tooth lol. Should really invest I a mouth guard. At least they had the sense not to run at me after that.
Yeah, mouth guards are good. Although, to be fair, no amount of protective gear ever guarantees anything either. I got a great little cut under my eye from a cute spinning hook kick a couple weeks ago. Not much, but definitely enough to notice for a few days. Headgear really doesn't do much except reduce the odds of a concussion.

So I've got a fair amount of home made jam on me right now that I really want to eat, however I'm not eating any kind of wheat right now....so does anyone have any favourites/ideas of what to put jam with/on that doesnt involve wheat but also tastes delicious? Thanks!

Depends on what the jam is made of, but different meats can go great with a sweet flavor added. If you do some sort of potato bread or potato pancakes, you could put it on that.
The secret to doing meats with a sweeter flavor is just prep and season them differently, you'd want them still tender, but less of the salts, garlic, and (probably) less pepper, you could consider more herbs to season it, and maybe a sweeter marinade if you do that.
Also maybe stuff out of the squash-esque families.

I find plain cooked steak with jam crazy delish (I never thought that area of my cooking habits would be relevant rofl)

I think it still needs a bit of seasoning, but that's just individual taste. I like to have a bit of contrast in there. Just the right amount of offset in the flavors really brings them all out.
It's just REALLY subjective what the right amounts are.

Jam... My friend used to make squash with jam and sweet potato with jam.

Potato dumplings man. I mean, I can eat potato dumplings without any sides at all, and I do, all the time, but they go well with jam for some reason.

For me, eggs with some salt and pepper go great with apricot jam. It's just the right amount of contrast to work well. Other things like boiled potatos are also not bad. The problem with both of those is that you can't use much jam per serving (unlike with bread) otherwise it just overwhelms the food.
Two meals where you can use decent amounts of jam is with steak or fish. In South Africa, an apricot jam sauce is the standard way to cook Snoek (not sure what Snoek is called outside of SA). This is a pretty good description of how we usually make snoek.
Steak is a bit more tricky and I don't think there are any standard recipes that we use. The jam is mostly used to make a nice fruity sauce. Something like this might be nice, for example.

Speaking of sweet things, how do you guys propose to incorporate maple syrup into a somewhat paleo diet?
It is almost winter, and my inner Canadian is really kicking in, and I'm craving some good old wood juice

For Jam - Aside from with roasted meats (pork, turkey etc), when I was in sweden we had Jam on ice cream (they apparantly don't use it on bread normally) so if you're having a treat of ice cream, try that. It works well enough. I know ice cream isn't paleo generally but most people seem to still go with dairy. If you're really desperate, jam on dark chocolate is massively indulgent. I know some countries (I forget which) make desserts out of Sweet Potato and those would go with jam.
For Maple Syrup - Pork again. Pork and honey/syrups go very well but it's an incredibly rich dish so don't overdo it. Pork Sausages obviously work well too. Again, ice cream works and you could probably make maple glazed nuts (like honeyed nuts) if you want. I imagine snow is also paleo so try that. Again, Sweet Potato desserts may work, not promising anything though.

People need to read on technique. People doing dangerous lunges in squat rack. Real dangerous.
Furthermore, I don't know if this is an exercise, but people get into benching position, but when they bench their arms dont go out, they go to their sides.

Sounds like a great way to mess up your shoulders. What was wrong with the lunges?

Tucking your elbows is a pretty standard way to bench...IIRC it's much easier on your shoulders and more of a tricep movement than a chest movement.

Bad bar position. Narrow grip. Lifting too much for strength level. These two guy both did them, and both looked just about ready to fall over sideways.

Mostly it was super narrow grip. It just didn't look right or normal. Totally non consistent with SS, but there are other ways to do exercises i suppose.

Narrow grip + elbows tucked in throughout the entire movement, is one of the major triceps building exercises.
It rules out the front deltoids and pectoralis major for the most part and really accentuates the triceps.
It's called the "Close Grip Bench Press" by the way (What's in a name).

It doesn't go heavy on the shoulders at all, it primarily targets the triceps. It's not dangerous on the shoulders one bit,
unlike a super wide grip/elbows flared outwards
or not keeping your shoulderblades contracted inwards for the entire motion..
Or a guillotine press for that matter ;-).
And if you grip it too small, it might injure your wrists, so keep it at shoulder width during the close grip bench press.
