Been a while since i checked in. Crazy stressful week but ive still made the lifts. Deadlift is hitting its stride as im hitting 430s with some ease. May try for a true max sometime soon.

I probably do overtrain to an extent. But my primary goal with weightlifting is honestly to stay clean from opiates and doing 2+ hours a day of lifting is what gives me peace

Decent leg work out today

Deadlifts 300x8 320x6 345x4 365x2 385x2
Back squat 170x10 190x8 210x6 230x4 250x4 260x2 275x1
Front squat 135x10 145x8 155x6 185x3
Hip thrust 225x10x2
Calf raises 100x10x3

I then had my first session with my coach and it was half paperwork half evaluation. We did some flexibility tests and some fitness tests and i was surprised that i did well in some areas. Did 51 consecutive pushups, 2.5 minute wall shit which was brutal, and a 4 minute plank. Next week we started the main lifting. So excited!

I think it does highlight one of the issues the the current climate has created

Does hydroxycholorquine work? I have zero idea and im a highly educated person. Trump says it does and he is an idiot, so i tend not to believe it. On the other side the very anti-trump media has been obsessed with saying that it doesnt work starting from the second it came out of his mouth, long before any relevant trials or studies, so for all i know it could work just fine but they dont want him scoring points being right.

Trying to find objectivity these days is exhausting

Stop pretending you don't know the reason. It's pretty simple... the worse this is, the better Democrats will do in elections, and the more justified increased government control over individuals will seem to be.

I think thats part of it but the general concept is from long before any of this. Its why people get glued to the tv during katrina or fukishima. They want to see how bad it will get and almost celebrate it

Your point isn't very strong. He would have been investigated and had to quarantine as long as necessary regardless. You just want things to fail for some reason so you can say I told you so. It's actually a very weird thing to want.

For some reason a lot of people i know have this attitude. They want things to be as bad as possible. Latch onto the bad news and dismiss any good news. Its the same type of people who pop boners when natural disasters or stuff happen on tv

With enough protein and calories in your diet sure

My side delts saw the greatest growth from volume. I found doing 35/40x10 to be far leas valuable than shit like 20/25x20+. So eat well and bang out reps

Also if you are familiar with the 1+1/2 rep scheme for those, its also super helpful. Basically doing a full rep to the top, bringing them down half way, then back up again. Rinse and repeat. Each time counts for one. Very difficult but it pays off

This is a cosmically awful idea. It sets the precedent that any obviously criminal asshole who gets elected president can get away with whatever the fuck he wants and not be charged simply by implying he might not accept the results if he loses re-election.

I agree with the basic principle but this is going to be a brutal freaking winter with covid and we dont need the bullshit

For real though, this is what I'm talking about and why I pointed it out in the first place. On the surface, it appears reasonable. I dont blame anyone too much for not looking into it deeply. But to me it was very obviously a dogwhistle and I just pointed it out as such.

Turns out I was right, but it tricked you into thinking smuffin was the reasonable one, right? That's how it works.

I may have to slow this down for you because its not processing.

Did you actually investigate smuffin's link or just take his word for it? That's exactly what's being done. Like, let me clear, Biden is racist, but I can also point out rhetorical garbage when I say it.

I mean come on. I slammed Biden over the shit he said yesterday but he's very clearly making a point about indiscriminate bigotry here. And the response is...



"How dare Biden insinuate I can't tell Asian nationalities apart! He's just spewing Chinese propoganda. I, an intellectual, am much more precise with my bigotry which justifies me blaming China for COVID."

The mental gymnastics on display here are astounding.

You are the only one here talking about blaming china dude. Need you to take a step back. All i said was dude was racist, which you apparently agree with, so simmer down.

Yeah 2020 is going to be a dem rout. Looking at the maps and data back in 2016 anyone with a sense could tell that while hillary had an advantage, her being a lock was a media pipe dream and all trump had to do was swing a couple states that he wasnt that far behind in

And back then his biggest downsides were emotional stuff. People care a lot more about being stuck at home, running out of money, and people dying than they do grabbing a faceless person by the pussy. Its going to be a sweep folks

maybe. when i started i did starting strength 3x5 and later 5x5s. i was already benching 2 plates for 5 reps when i gave up on OHP. i could do 115x5 but i feel like that 2:1 strength difference is pretty rare. maybe my shoulders/back are weak or something. anyway, that won't be a goal until we open gyms again...

went back out for pullups this AM and it was already over 80 degrees again. did 75 reps over 6 sets without doing pushups in between, over the course of around 30 minutes and was extremely tired, but not quite on the verge of passing out this time

will do anything that doesn't require a pullup bar at home later today - some pushups, some bicep curls, some bodyweight squats (lost so much booty this quarantine smh)

Lol i cant even fathom 75 in 6 sets. I might be able to pull off double digits for 3 sets but then they start sliding.

I was doing a lot of split squats when i was full time lifting at home and that helped a lot with keeping my glorious ass popping. they can be done with dumbells or weight plates or even just body weight. As long as you have a chair or a couch or something they are easy to pull off
