don't call women cunts, and when women get made when you degrade them, maybe think about why they got mad.

Agree 100% with you. But I usually don't go on dates with women that I'm not physically attracted to in the first place... but whatever I just found the statement a bit strange. I definitely did not want to turn this into a big argument.

it's just that the way you said it: "woman was not attractive enough" sounded like looks are the main thing you consider and that women have to meet your high standards for you to even think about going on a second date with them... I agree that sexual attraction is very important... but for me looks are definitely not everything. I prefer dating a cute girl wihich is fun, intelligent and has a nice personality over a stunning girl which is uninteresting and boring any time. So yeah to some point it is about whether or not you are physically attracted to someone. But at least for me past that there are just way more important things to make a decision about if I would like to go on a second date or be in a relationship with her. After all it's not only about choosing someone you want to have sex with but also someone you want to be with. Being in a relationship with a very hot but uninteresting, dumb girl gets boring and unsatisfying very fast... been there done that. It's a whole different story for one night stands though.

I also prefer the seated variation because I also tend to lean to the side too much as the reps get harder when I'm doing them standing. I also line them more than barbell overhead presses as it feels better on my shoulders... probably because you can move your arms in a more natural plane. The most I ever did was 34kg for 6 reps... thought that was pretty strong but then I saw this dude repping out 45kg dumbells pretty easily the other day and I was like wtf?!

These are some lofty goals you set for yourself there but if you can push hard without major injuries and everything goes well I think it might be bossible. All the best! My goals are pretty crazy too. Untill the end of university in 3 years I want to front squat 200kg for 5 reps (105 x 5 currently) and jump 1m/40" (75cm/30" at the moment) would be awesome if I'm able to do this. But we'll see

Thanks man... I also feel like my whole setup today was just off, so I will play around with some stuff next week. I really like the exercise though and I don't want to drop it.

Hey adarqui I've recently started to incorporate hip thrusts into my program and I really like how they activate and work my glutes but even with a padding they hurt my pelvis/pubic bone area quite a bit. Have you done them before? Any suggestions how I can solve this issue?

I can sprint without pain yes.
My symptoms are:
- Tightness, slight pain from time to time in groin/adductor area especially after heavy lifting no pain with adduction though. Groin pain is very common in labrum tears.
- my hip flexors also tighten up from time to time but also on the unaffected side so I don't know if this has anything to do with the injury
- I have full range of motion in both hips but it feels somewhat restricted in end range on the afected side (can fix it with SMR). Internal rotation of the hip in full flexion causes a bit of discomfort/pain.. that's also one of the basic tests they do for diagnosis of labrum tears.
- At the beginning full hip extension was causing the most problems and I was limping a bit. I'm fine now though.
- I still feel like my left glute doesn't fire as hard as my right one and I have to concentrate more on proper muscle activation.
I'm glad I was able to help. That you don't have any signs of impingement is definitely good news because as you sad it makes it less likely that you actually have a labrum tear and if this still is the case they wont have to remove any of the excess bone during surgery which makes recovery easier. Let me know if you got any further questions.

Your symptoms sound very similar to mine and I was diagnosed with hip impingement and a slight labrum tear in my left hip a few months back (MRI). But my orthopedic surgeon was hesitant about going right into surgery because he said a slight hip abnormality ("impingement") is pretty common (about 25% of population) and there are a lot of athletes walking around with hip labral tears which don't even know about it. So it's not like if you do have a labrum tear surgery is inevitable. What helped with my hip was doing lots of glute activation work, especially for the external hip rotators (sl glute bridges, clamshells, x-band walks...) SMFR for TFL, IT band, quads, adductors, glutes and gentle stretching, mobility work pretty much daily. After 2-3 months of this and my hip feels a lot more stable again and I can squat, jump etc. with no discomfort. I might have to get the surgery at some point down the line but as long as I can still train without pain I don't see the point in doing so. Hope you get better soon.

Man I'm sorry to hear about your relationship problems I hope everything turns out for the best. Keep your head up and hang in there! Having her brother on your side should give you at least some peace of mind that it wasn't all your fault and things can be worked out.

bench workout from today:
95kg (210lbs) 3x6, this is the 2nd week I'm doing this 3x6 workout. Previously I worked up to a "money set" of 5 reps. I progressed really well but eventually stalled at 100kg x 6 so I figured I need some more volume with heavy weights instead of just one heavy, all out effort. I also added a push exercise (horizontal accessory with vertical main, vertical accessory with horizontal main) to work a bit more on my pressing strength in general. Rows, pullups etc. always have been considerably stronger in comparison. Maybe I would benefit from some chest isolation work as my narrow grip benchpress is a lot stronger than my wide grip benchpress. We'll see how I do over the course of the next few weeks. Will keep you updated and I'll continue to read your trainingslog.
