Nice workout. Pull ups felt strong so tried maxing out lol.

Still need to make and learn cards for chapter 4 dammit. I'll try to do it tomorrow, and read and learn cards for two chapters tomorrow to catch up a bit. By this weekend I want 14 chapters completed!

My left knee has some more fluid in it now after playing yesterday. Also kinda hurts but that's probably because I banged it twice, not because of the underlying issue I've been going to PT for. I have PT tomorrow morning again.

Played ball. Playoff game. Went for 25min instead of the 10min I planned since we needed to win. Other team only had 4 players. We still lost lmao, even though we beat them in the regular season and led for the whole game. I kinda played like crap. Fell and banged both my knees on the floor twice. Was too tired to lift properly afterward. Terrible charlie horse in my hamstring later that night... was dehydrated and didn't realize.

Read a chapter but didn't make cards for it yet dammit. Bumping up the test questions learned per day from 20 to 30. It's manageable.

So behind on everything. Missed a workout, and I'm 4 chapters behind on my studying. Terrible sleep lately too.

Today I have a game, and it'll be the first time i've played in about... 6 weeks? Going to test out the knee. Only playing 10 of the 40min. PT has been going well so we'll see how my knee reacts.

didn't get the job :(

was told the department had an excellent response from me but they decided to go with someone who fits the job better

well shit, at least it means i can fake my way to a job with 3+ years experience and i have zero... i've learned enough from my MS degree and these certs that I appear to have a ton of knowledge from experience as well.

Plan to finish chapter 2 today as well.  Making review questions for myself at the end of every chapter. I review these continuosly every day based on spaced repetition. Also learning real test questions from a selection of over 2k. I plan to learn over 2k over the next 70 days. I'll be ramping up the number on cards learned per day from 20 to 50+ after i finish the textbook.

Review questions on chapters only include things I wasn't already comfortable with already. Some of it seems obvious, like the question "what is data privacy?" But it's not so obvious if you knew that there are also the concepts of data concealment, seclusion, confidentiality, in addition to privacy... it's more because I don't know how to specifically differentiate between them.

I will also start writing down how many of the test questions I get correct on first try as I'm learning them. It'll be nice to see an upward trend as I learn more from the textbook. Passing on the real exam is 70%. Hopefully I'll be getting consistent 85% and up on these after I finish the textbook.

Another de-load. Feeling overworked right now and behind on sleep. Gotta read a chapter tonight. I'm typing this at 11:20pm, going to read for about an hour, and wake up at 6:40 for physical therapy :/

Will have a crazy busy weekend too. Can't wait for next week to get here so I can relax and study properly.

My squat form changed. Now that my quads have gotten weaker, my glutes got relatively stronger. In addition, I've been doing lots of glute activation work plus lunges. So that increases the strength ratio of glutes:quads even more.

End result: i naturally squat with a wider stance, with knees way out as well. Can go full ATG this way with zero pain in knee! I've wanted to become glute dominant for a while now but never really put work for it, so at least now I'm forced to.

Had a really tough day and just couldn't bring myself to lift more.

In a way, it might be the other way around, since you use more weight - there's a bigger chance that one of the smaller muscles gets overwhelmed and messes up your form/compromises stability.

My train of thought was more weight = quicker gains, like in deadlifting. Or compare benching to shoulder pressing.
