WEIGHT: 172
SORENESS: none really
ACHES/INJURIES: head after second set of squats; still dealing with throat/chest cold
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
did some of those bounds T0ddday is trying to get raptor to do
- depth jump @18" x 5,5,5
first two sets felt explosive, first one in particular. smooth and i was getting up.
- squat 295 x 5,5,4
second set was a struggle, head started hurting. got my shit together and the first three reps of the fifth set were very good. fourth set lost concentration and then re-racked the bar. no need to fail.
- rest of workout
headache, no good, still feeling it. benching/rowing not worth killing myself for. should have done calf raises but just felt out of it.
DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch: chipotle
dinner: pulled chicken, bean salad, chocolate milk
other:
SLEEP
7.5 hours

oh word that makes sense. you usually work out at 6am? i'd be afraid of straining every muscle in my body if i tried to mess with a barbell that early.

why did you do multiple sets for rep testing rather than a single top set?

yeah tbh i've been kind of disappointed/frustrated by it. tried it mostly because i was in a relationship for the whole time the apps got big and so i just wanted to see what they were like.

« on: December 06, 2015, 03:27:17 pm »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.
date came from an app, pics made her seem cuter than she was in real life. so it goes.

a dodgeball is a bit smaller than a volleyball. they used to have bigger ones but i don't know what happened to them. at any rate i could have dunked a bigger ball yesterday, judging by how easily i was dunking the dodgeball. they just didn't have anything in between that and a basketball.

Mmmm, internet judgment based on a context-free misreading of a poorly-phrased sentence. The best kind.

« on: December 06, 2015, 01:12:56 am »Quotedrank too much last night. buddy i hadn't seen in a long time hit me up. also had a date, which will not lead to a second date (woman was not attractive enough).
sounds pretty shallow to be honest.
what an odd thing to say. part of dating is trying to find someone you would like to have sex with. after this date, i thought the woman was cool but realized i was not sexually attracted to her. that doesn't mean i think she's a bad person or uninteresting or something -- if we'd met under other circumstances she's someone i could be friends with -- but it does mean that going on a second date is a waste of her time and mine, even leaving aside whether or not she was attracted to me! in what universe is that shallow?
