today should include a run but i got some kind of (mild but nevertheless very irritating) eye infection, so no contacts, and it's raining, so running in glasses is frankly dangerous.

yea can probably just run a query & then do some simple sanitization on it. it'd probably be a bit skewed because of quoting etc. if it was my own code that wouldn't be a problem, but it's still this open source stuff :<

will try to get that for u today or tmw.

pc!

i'm starting to see the same people at the gym when i go, which makes sense given that i go roughly around the same time for each workout. a bunch of the people who hang out around and work out on the platforms are members of the UCL barbell club, who are clearly friends or at least friendly with each other. lots of banter, lots of filming each other and talking about lifting technique and that sort of thing. and they're not all men! it's nice. i mention it because there's a short little guy, broad-shouldered but not super thick or ripped, who's there every time i am, and who is the number one banterer. in fact in the weeks i've been going to the gym i'd never seen him touch a weight, just walk around and greet people in his tights and dead lifting shoes and A7 barbell grip shirt. i started to think it was a bit odd. like he was just performing being a gym rat without actually working out. do you even lift bro?

then yesterday i watched him DL 200 kg for a set of five and was like, oh, okay. right. do not judge a book by a tiny snapshot of its behavior.

lol

- pull up x 7,7,5

- push up x 20,20

- 45-degree hyper ISO x 30s

intercostal thing tweaking a bit, annoying. glad i persevered with the squats although obviously i will be repeating 110.

yesterday

- warm up run x 2 km

- mobilizations

- squat 110 x 5,4,4
will repeat once more. missing one rep is okay but not two.

- DL 120 x 4
mix of touch and go and dead stop. right pec felt a little strained after the fourth rep so i stopped.

- bench 75 x 5,4,3
pec totally fine. kind of odd, wonder what that feeling was if not a strain.

- pull up x 7,2
hands hurt. i think pull ups after DL just doesn't work somehow.

- cable row x 10,10
dunno what the weight settings mean on that machine so i just picked one that felt challenging but didn't pull me forward.

too crowded again to do core work or stretch. i'm gonna run today and will do core after that.

also, a lot of these barbell club kids are just not that strong. a couple of them are a lot bigger than me but they're throwing around weights way below what i was capable of back in the dunking days. like i'm 74 kg right now and squatting 110 for reps and it's baby weights, i feel bad about it. meanwhile, this big spanish dude who has all the cocky oly weightlifter mannerisms down pat was squatting 115 for sets of 4-5. another guy, a ripped crossfit bro with a shaved head, was DLing 140 for sets of 5 with veins popping out all over his head. that's not weak, but it's so much less than he looks like he should be able to lift, or than i could lift if i were even a little bit heavier and more muscular than i am now, much less as muscular as he is. i used to be able to squat that for sets of 5! then again, there's also that guy i mentioned the other day and a shredded japanese dude who reps 180+ squats, so they're not all hopeless.

it almost makes me want to commit more fully to lifting again. if would be fun to be able to squat 160+ again, bench 110+, and get my DL up to a quasi-respectable level (i was never good at DL). i won't, because i don't want to lose sight of the real goal of 18:xx. but it'd be fun.

- run 12.68 km in 1:02:58
super windy. kept it relaxed and still averaged under 5:00, which is good.

- superset x 2
-- hollow body hold x 30s
-- superman x 30s

- stretch

watched a bunch of running videos today, got excited about picking up training as it starts to get lighter and a little warmer.

- warm up run x 2 km

- mobilizations

- squat 112.5 x 4,1
felt off, cut losses.

~90 minutes later

- run 10.11 in 48:23
4:47 pace is a little too fast to be really relaxed. not breathing hard or anything but legs got tired after about 7 km. managed to come in quicker than i went out so it's all good. knees a bit achey post-run.

- stretch
