Decided im not going to eat out in the new year. Mainly because it went from being a legit treat to something ive been doing so often that i dont even enjoy it anymore. I think if i go back to my hermit lifestyle i will find it to become a pleasure again once or twice a month or so.

Basketball is killing my gains. We trained this morning for about 3 hours .. im sore af and i have to hit the gym tonight. Now turns out we're gna be doing conditioning at 5 AM on wednesdays - the only day i cud prioritise squats.. so im so close to getting that 180kg squat and now basketball is encroaching on my training and im not sure i can figure it out..

I like that list. Especially numbers 1, 4 & 7.

How is number 9 going to work out? Do you just hit the switch and say I'm in? Have you met the girl before?

Ideally i wud have liked to lift weds but wit the 5am conditioning session im not going to be fresh enough to do justice to using 155kg for reps. So... will try today. Not try, will do 6x3x155kg today. Then get some sleep, wake up early conditioning etc. Rest Thursday. Let's see how it goes. YOLO.

Well that 5am conditioning session was an unmitigated disaster. i prob slept like an hour or so before my alarm went off at 4:20am. Felt like throwing up etc.

The new thing i want to mention is the BSS made my R glute sore. So that's really cool. Watch this space. I got almost zero carryover from squatting to my game so far. Will be intersting to see if SL training brings some court-gains to the table..

I think im ok with one or two persons training around me in isolation. But when there is a group especially youths, i feel they'll judge me more? Is that weird? Anyway.

if there's any group of people you should care less about judging, it's youths. lmao. it can be annoying when they are acting like little giggly twats, but really, it's probably better if they are too afraid to judge you.. :D

You're right. But why do i care so much lol. I just remembered we went to watch a movie and these teen giggly twats were not enjoying the movie (Downsizing) and they ruined the experience for us by talking shit and laughing and giggling constantly throughout the film.  :pissed:

i went to see the last jedi in islamabad right before leaving for the holidays and a kid in the row ahead of us literally took a call at one point. i smacked him on the shoulder and hissed at him to stop, which he did.

I like that list. Especially numbers 1, 4 & 7.

Thanks! It hasnt happened yet .. im still eating out every day lol lol. But im working up to that state where i'll get fed up of myself and just go 100% for a long ass time. Being fit is definitely the best way i can improve my health and athleticism. If i was to put it in terms of vertical, im prob at a 12" vertical equivalent in fitness terms. To compete i need to be thinking of 28" so i can 'dunk'.  Social media ive been doing well so far, input just have that training instagram which i use as a training log .. check it once or twice a day and im up to date. Easy.

It's a slow process .. like setting the trajectory of a ship, you make a decision and it takes ages for anything significant to happen sometime down the line. Basically said yes to initiating the process, saw a photo she looks cute, sounds good on paper (educated etc). Now my people will do due diligence and see if everything checks out regarding her story. If that happens eventually we'll meet and take it from there. Could be months later. Im not sure it's better or worse than conventional dating, just different. So far im happy with it because conventional dating is so stressful and this has basically none of that so far. To give you an idea with what im comparing, ive been trying to 'meet' a girl off instagram for about a month and she keeps being flaky and indecisive and yet she seems 'interested' - but ive long lost interest because she's just not able to meet and we live in the same city. So at least the initial part compares favourably. Also if someone signs up for an arranged thing, they're probably serious and not just playing the field. Have ended up in a fair few of dating situations where they've just made you a 'backup' option while they continue to not commit to a relationship. That's prob killed my interest more than anythign else in conventional dating - smething seems promising - goes no where.

good for you. i feel like kids take advantage of people being too polite and get away with being inconsiderate.

I just wanna point out a funny situation going on right now. Im basically too fat for my lifting belt. It's on the last hole and super tight so it's actually making lifting harder and form not as technically good. So i've got to shed a bit of girth to make it work better. Just something to point out. Lifting with the belt is not that helpful right now but if i dont use the belt i'll get injured because my movement pattern has already changed to a belted one rather than my old raw one.

Bball training (3-4hrs)
BSKB 8x142.5(PR)
BP 8x70, 6x80

Notes:
As shown in instagram, my belt has a new hole punched in lol lol. And even though it was slightly on the loose side, it really allowed me to lift better than the previous hole which was FAR too tight and didnt allow a big breath into the stomach. Now the belt is slightly loose but i still managed a 8x142.5kg -> 177kg emax effort after bball training earlier in the day. Next week is the big 8x145 -> 180kg emax milestone. Im 12 weeks out, i think doing okay so far.
