10 rounds of 5 Devil Presses @20# per side w/30 seconds rest
2 hollow body holds @70 seconds
Saw Jane's Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins this evening. I really wanted to see Jane's Addiction and don't really care for SP, but they put on a great show. Jane's Addiction was pretty good, but Perry Farrell sounds like a grandma now . And they had strippers that couldn't dance worth a shit. One almost fell off of the stage.

Low Hex
7X5@237#
I haven't pulled a heavy single in a while. Need to next week. I've already pulled the max I can with the weight I have (317#).
DB Bench

1X14@32.5#
Reverse Lunges
50 reps (per leg) @72#
Weighted Feet-Up Pushups (feet on bench)
5X12 +16#
These felt horrible.
Weighted Cindy (+16#) for 20 rounds in ~15
I guess I'm a really fit hermit. My body will look super hot when I'm found dead with my face eaten off by my cats.
I’d look at it like you are just preparing for your eventual re-emergence

My wife and I are visiting family in Cleveland in a couple of weeks and catching the Jane's Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins concert there.
Y'all will have a great time -- they both gave great performances. And most important: They were LOUD.
Full Standing Ab Wheel
4X8
1X10
Did these as a final fuck you to my back.
I’ve been taking better care of myself. I realize now there’s no one who will take care of me or who cares about me. . .except for the guy from the bank, who called yesterday to see how I’m doing.

Deliciously gloomy, damp and cool.

L-Sit DB OHP
5X6@30#
Hex R. Lunge
5X10 per side@72#
Weighted Pullups
5X10+16#
These felt like crap for some reason. Because I haven't done anything weighted in a while? Or because I was wearing a weighted vest instead of the belt?
Skull Crushers
1X12@15# per DB
4X10@20# per DB
That was weird: I was petting the cat* in the front window and my mother in law drove by very slowly and we made eye contact. Neither of us smiled.
½ Shut in Murph (Did the Cindy portion weighted, with 16# vest) ~15 minutes
An awful thing about death, in addition to the obvious, is the inevitable revelation of character. There is always a family member who shows their entire ass and reveals themself to be an absolute worthless piece of shit.
10 KB Swings @40# +10 Burpees for 10 rounds in sub 10
Decided I need a deload. I'm not sure yet if that means no pulling at all this week or lighter pulling tomorrow. We'll see.
I downloaded Barbarian and will watch it tonight. My 18-year-old niece and nephew said it was very scary. Making pizza with soppressata and provolone piccante, aka fancy pepperoni pizza. I got carded at the grocery store today

In a meeting today someone mentioned that improv is their hobby. Thanks for the warning; I'll be sure to stay the fuck away from you.
10 KB swings @40# + 10 burpees X 10 in sub 10
Decided my deload week will be something metcon-ish each day.

L-Sit Chins

Watched "Barbarian," "Halloween Ends," and "X." Will start the del Toro series tonight: Excited because the guy who directed "Mandy" has an episode.
My friend was stranded in the US during Covid and made cat choir vids.
How did you like X? I’ve loved Ti West’s other movies. I’m considering getting a month of streaming to watch it, but I’ve been really lazy about watching horror movies this month.
Your friend's Badalamenti homage is a masterpiece @augeleven. I teared up a little near the end.
I thought "X" was pretty disappointing. I'm a big Ti West fan also (particularly "House of the Devil"). Great score and cast but the horror was totally meh. The first half about them making the "film" was actually way more engrossing/funny.

I intended to do 5 triples, but as the sets went on, I got the brilliant idea that I could just do a bunch of reps in one set and get it over with.
DB Push Press (one arm)
5X6@37.5#
Weighted Chins (+28#)
6X6
These felt great. I'd been laying off chins and pullups because my elbows were achy.
Jump Squats
6X10 (30 sec rest)
DB Curls
4X8@25#
T2B
6X10 (30 secs rest)
I’m under an incredible amount of stress, and I’m having trouble sleeping. On Sunday night I thought, “I’ll just try a quarter of a square of some of this chocolate to help me relax.” I forgot I’d eaten it. Then about 30 minutes later I was in the dark, cavelike half-bath under the stairs and suddenly thought, out of nowhere, “what if I think about thinking about making myself paranoid and make myself paranoid. Ha.” OH GOD. All night long. I never knew yellow sounded so horrible.

This is the best and funniest thing I can remember reading in a long time.
