drank 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). between the two things, too much beer. was a bit hung over earlier but not too badly. heading to the gym now (3 PM), hope it doesn't affect training too much. poor sleep quality last night (obviously alcohol-linked in part, see below).

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none (even the little hitch that's been in my hip for so long that i don't log it was not there)
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up
included 3x3 DL bounds

- DLRVJ x ~10
near-PR levels, a bunch of strong dunks with the dodgeball. excellent. one jump in particular something just clicked and felt different/better than the others. easily 36".

- squat 295 x 5

- bench 190 x 5

- RDL 235 x 8,8,8

- kroc row 80 x 21L,21R

- paused leg press calf raise +295 x 20,20

- stretch

wow, great workout. decided to switch squat and bench going forward to a kind of wave approach, so day 1 is 3x5, day 3 is MSEM x 8-10, and day 6 is 1x5 with more weight than day 1, and then the next week's day 1 uses that day 6 weight.

DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch:
dinner:
other: cup of coffee

SLEEP
6 hours, plus 3 hours dozing but not sleeping because my fucking neighbors are having some construction done on their house that involves a power saw and a nail gun.

AELS is vag's term, i think: anti-ego lifting squad. don't go for sudden milestones just because they make you feel like a baller, especially if going for them might get you hurt.

will go for 315 next week (not this coming wednesday but the following one).

Nah, not mine, adarqui it was you that invented the term:

Ffffuuuu, can't paste it from mobile, search aels, it has its own thread.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

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?

This conversation made me lol. I read it as she wasn't attractive in my eyes so I didn't get the impression of it being shallow.
GOALS

Squat 340x3               Power clean 265

BP 225x3                    100m - 11.5

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.

Lol.  Comment didnt bother me but I didnt read it in a negative way...  I read it as "I wasnt attracted to her".  But I see how it could be read as "she wasnt attractive enough for me.  I only talk to 9s and above.  She is an 8. No dice." Lol.  Phrasing is important.

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

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.

A wise man once said....

No one looks across the bar and goes "Damn, I bet she'd be a great conversationalist!"

Physical attraction isnt everything but it IS a necessity. The spark is needed. All the other intricacies of their personality are what keeps you together.
Insert motivational quote here...

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.
