I tend to look for the sliver lining in everything myself. Positivity just makes for a happier life so that is a good thing.I have a unique ability to see the positive in my physique no matter what happens. Gain 20lbs? holy $hit my pecs and arms are huge, my bench is up! bench and squat goes down? wow I'm really leaning up, abs looking much better! This might be how dad bods are accidentally made, idk
I had a girl tell me the other day I had big forearms, which isn't something I had ever heard or thought about. she was like how do you train your forearms to be so big? I was like IDK, I was single for a little while there.
I think we guys tend to be a bit better about that generally. my wife can be smoking hot and then find something new to complain about lol. a grey hair, or triceps not being firm enough. and I'm like, dat ass tho babe.
That is so true…. they notice every little negative with themselves, but with us they are our biggest fans.
thanks dude, doing what I can! I'm happy my legs look like they might be able to support my torso again.
I mean technically I never stopped, I just stopped being good at it and reinforced that you cant outtrain a bad diet lol. Spent Oct sorta spinning my wheels cause I wasn't strength focused but I wasn't dialed on the cut lol.
I'll tell you last night my knee was killing me. so I had this neck/back issue, then a week later the left glute popped, then last night the knee and I was like WTF, turn 43 and all the sudden everything breaks within a month
I actually feel pretty great today though. was flexing my quads in the shower (among other things) and noticed just massive development in areas that I hadn't really noticed before like the vastus medialis just popping like I had a sick muscle pump.
the bar remains the same, I'm not truly making progress until I can push under 189 ish but this is the hardest its ever been for me to get there.
I do feel like pecs are bigger after a few years of the bulk/cut cycle and when I finish a fast I notice a lot more difference between the gut/ab area and pecs so I see the potential in there.

The best is when instead of bending down right away, you kick it a little, as if getting it into a better position would make it any closer - but really you’re just procrastinating from bending down
Good looking pulls…finishing with 405 x 3, looks like a good strong day.
Haha, I will pick it up with my monkey toes first! No bending required!The best is when instead of bending down right away, you kick it a little, as if getting it into a better position would make it any closer - but really you’re just procrastinating from bending down
Hate to sound like the tin foil hat guy but the “northern light” ordeal seems to be a coincidence for a lot of people exhibiting similar symptoms. Could be just coincidence or maybe I’m loco
I know, I had severe ringing in the ears, pressure and crazy dreams this week and I kept thinking.... I don't feel sick... Why does it seem like I have a head cold? Then I stumbled over an article that described all that stuff with the solar storm lol. I was like hmmmmHate to sound like the tin foil hat guy but the “northern light” ordeal seems to be a coincidence for a lot of people exhibiting similar symptoms. Could be just coincidence or maybe I’m loco
Headaches are what get me when there are the solar storms I just get a dull annoying skull ache that usually lasts 2 days or so, definitely have had a lot of crazy dreams as well!
Nothing to see here, just 5G radiation and breathable aluminum nanoparticles.
I'm just one of those who really really hates deadlifting or squatting without some support in the feet! I know that I am a bit of an outlier but I need just that tiny bit of something or my feet get really sore (like in the heels). and I don't like to go way too heavy in new shoes and trash them but honestly those things werne't on my mind as much as my pulling session last week. I've been keeping deads fairly light and I think thats really been good for my CNS so last week I walked in and pulled 405 for a triple (maybe only cause @GreenMachineX did, IDK) and it just seemed like right now from a maintainence stand point, getting ROM practice in with my normal leg work seems to be holding on OK. its not going to get me a PR any time soon but I'm still just trying to get down a few more lbs before I go chasing anything crazy lolNext time call and audible and do deads without knee sleeves or shoes.I kid, i kid, nice session!
I laughed a little too hard reading this
one eye Ray

Smoked. Either 5 cleans or 95 lbs would have been more appropriate
Notes
Wasn't sure if I had this in me but the sun came out and some bangers on the radio on my way. Then @MrKleen73 was texting me and I felt committed once I admitted my plan to him lol.
This was designed with intent.
DU for practice and HR
Cleans to compliment my pull day
Burpees to add a modality from last week
Overall time domain medium, not long but enough to struggle bus.
I might start just wearing neon spandex for these sessions, don't know, feeling cute.
Whitney hit just right on that land round.

One Eyed Ray from Tacoma!!! I love it. Sounds like something Theo Von would say. I love that dude, he is hilarious and insightful. That or my boy Chris Webby...
I now when you were kicking it off and sent me the Eddie Money song I thought, damn good song, but maybe not what I would have picked for an all out brutal WOD. Seeing the rest of the line up is just as entertaining.woke up at 193 this morning which is a fed low as of recent weeks/month+ so not bad.
dude I don't even know how my algo went down this road but I was like, sure lets give it a try
BOOMER MY ASS!!! I sure would like to know when people decided all older people were Boomers. I see people online referring to Gen X as Boomers. Boomer doesn't mean old it means Baby Boomer IE the results from all the hardcore fugging when the WWII vets came home.
lol my wife being gen x and me being xennial I will say I call her a boomer a lot when she does something like send a long informative text to the wrong person "oops I had a boomer moment"
Well, I don't Boomer, I am just X-tra, X-citing, and sometimes inXcusable... I can BOOM, but I am no boomer.lol my wife being gen x and me being xennial I will say I call her a boomer a lot when she does something like send a long informative text to the wrong person "oops I had a boomer moment"
I'm pretty sure boomer has replaced a generation and simply become a noun or a verb; "to boomer".
but a lot of the best music is the stuff I heard my dad (actual boomer) playing as a kid LOL. Plus the stones? i mean come on, that song came out in 1978 when my dad was like 15 or 16, perfect boomer music! haha
pretty sus bro, no cap. if you want rizz can't 6 7.
I did a podcast with a bunch of gen x friends and told them I was a xennial, they were like wtf is that. I said its the oregon trail gen, between millennial and gen x. they said you just made that up cause you don't want to be called a millennial, LOLWell, I don't Boomer, I am just X-tra, X-citing, and sometimes inXcusable... I can BOOM, but I am no boomer.
Also known as an Elder Millennial!
So, I still don't know what it means. I was watching some videos where young people were caling older people that or saying it around them and then the people getting pissed when they found out what it meant but they never said what it actually meant. Sounds like even the guy who made it popular didn't assign it a meaning?
LOL I think that is the point, it doesn't have a meaning and is used to fill space and piss off people who are trying to figure out what it means
