Going to attempt to keep up with my lifting “diary“ here.
3x6-8x115lb
I think I’ll be back to working sets of 135lb in late July. Goal is to get back to working sets of 150lb but basics first. I’m trying to really dial in my technique- it feels tight but I’m losing some tension mid lift.

Remember being really very strong is a form of protest.
Be less killable.
Hit a plateau on pull ups so adding some weight so I can build up my endurance to bust out more body weight reps.

Loving a neurodivergent kid is heating and cooling cheap chapstick to repair it because the kid has become fixated on keeping her lips moisturized, and the chapstick was a gift from a schoolmate which makes it super important to keep in good condition.

Recently some gym regulars said I have one of the best backs in the gym.
Living off that high for the foreseeable future.
I can’t get a good photo of my back without being super embarrassing in the changing room so here’s my shoulder.
We are NOT discussing my quads 🫶

Turns out trickle down economics DOES work. States will bleed out what funds remain& be forced to adjust their parameters to be even more restrictive.
Ex:Pregnancy services like teeth cleanings & physical therapy will be gutted. People will die.

Rewatching my comfort show
Halt and Catch Fire for the 8th time

I’ve frogged this 3x total now. It finally has a good fit, finishing up the last few rows and I’m on to the straps.

You’ll notice many of the companies that reel back their DEI programs are also union busters.
Curious.

What do you call a nationalist Christian for short?
A NatC

If we can halt the supply of Old El Paso taco seasoning we may be able to destabilize the one thing keeping the right wing family unit together: white people tacos

The quads are trying. This weekend I may film my bench press because something feels funky and I really need to examine my bar path. So crack your knuckles and prepare to rip me one.
Here’s a post heavy deadlift day selfie.

Love the turn of phrase
“What the hell is wrong with me” when I recount a totally normal and innocuous social encounter.

My brain? Sad.
My muscles? Pumped.

My program is going great.
Deadlifting triples of 225lb
My bench is staggered at 115lbs but the form is locking in.
Squats? Surprisingly feel upright despite being apart of long femur short torso gang.

A man saying “that’s bad ass you can do pull ups”
No emotion

A fit man saying “that’s bad ass you can do pull ups”
No emotion

A woman telling me I’m awesome cause I can do pull ups
Will fuel my emotional highs for weeks.

Yesterday that happened and I’m so locked in rn

This app is overly burdened with the political grief.
It may seem in poor taste but I’m going to begin shit posting on bluesky…this app will have to adjust to us morally redeemable but nonetheless depraved chronically online individuals. ❤️

You know who else dabbled in substances like ketamine.
Rhymes with ditler. 😀

Elon is such a quirky girlypop 🤪🤪🤭
