It was, it was. But then I got it figured and was all




Seriously... ok more seriously... glad the squats felt awesome. As opposed to most other movements, even when squats go well relative to the usual, I feel like they very rarely reach the level of actually feeling great.

I am once again commenting that my biceps light up with these, which is just fine.

BJJ Musings: Learned some guard escape stuff last night and was able to put it to good use multiple times. I'm stale-mating more and getting subbed less, which I think counts as progress.

I'll still let you be a sub for me.

The humiliation of waiting for you to come back from @alek has been exquisite.

You've put the chicken before the egg in telling the tale.

We haven't gotten Saturday morning donuts in a few weeks. Might have to remedy that pre-gym tomorrow.

I can’t walk into a Publix without walking out with a 4-pack of apple fritters—that I’ll eat entirely within 24 hours—so I have to avoid that place… I am getting a hankering now though.

Italian beef sandwiches for dinner. French toast and bacon for breakfast. It's called a mini-bulk, sweetie, look it up.


Landmine Shrug Row +125x 18, 15, 13

Chins +90x3x5

French Press 118x 12, 11, 12

EZ Curl 118x 10, 9, 9

Lateral Raise 20x 24, 10, 10, 12
Just went back to it every time I felt like it and hit a set @9. Goal was 60 reps but right AC joint was getting pissy.

Tib Raise 30x 24, 20, 18

Single Leg BW Calf Raise x 12, 11, 10
Feels better if I bend my knee a little at the bottom. More "active" ankle vs just hanging off the edge of the block.

This has been my breakfast for the last 2 Sundays. Good chance it happens again tomorrow.

I've found the same on Calf Raises - a small bend in the knees at the bottom feels much more natural, puts less stress on the knees, and gives a better stretch of the calf muscle.

Pancakes have almost unlimited mix-in potential, which is nice (ginger molasses, spiced carrot, banana walnut, blueberry oatmeal, s'mores, etc). But I love french toast the best. Waffles are just silly due to their difficulty to butter and rapid cooling, except Belgian liège waffles, which are their own separate thing because they are uniquely delicious.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Do you pre toast the bread before French toasting it?

This is by far my favorite form of cardio. I'm hanging out around 70% of max heart rate and can speak in short sentences, so it should be enough to get all the cardio health benefits?

I like mine to have a more gooey texture, so I do not pre-toast, and I soak the bread until it's just about to fall apart.

I just got my back cracked after work, and this is the first time I've deadlifted since the injury. Didn't feel super awesome so... #lightweight
