LOL yeah, I literally copied the statements from sample resumes
That’s worrying >_<

well, I did modify the wording so I doubt plagarism check will catch that. Also, it’s a stimuli. it’s not like I’m copying taking someone’s research
I meant that the worrying bit was the people deciding that they should put some of these things on their resume. There are so many of them that makes me go “If you have to put this on your resume I expect you to know nothing”.
Like,
My retort is “Can’t a computer curious thirteen year old do that?” So, if Kevin/Tom decides to brag about that as an “achievement” I’d look at the next resume. It’s as if you were to brag about being to lift the bar.
And if a person made this claim
I’d be cautious. First, they have now exposed their employer by sharing that they’ve exposed sensitive data and that’d be a very uncouth thing to do. Second, any data that has been exposed in this way regardless of a third-party acted on it then does not mean that the data breach didn’t happen. If it was public, when it wasn’t supposed to be, the data breach occurred. For all they know, a malign actor is using it in some other way with more tact than to put the company in a situation where damage claims come in.
Can be the luck of a draw
Anything innovative in network system design probably isn’t happening on the IT specialist level. Most people don’t work with hard networking problems. Then Kevin/Tom are coming out of one of the FAANG companies, or similar (M), and is a software developer of a fairly senior level. There would be exceptions to this statement, such as maybe an engineer from SpaceX doing networking between space and Earth but that’d be a very niché form of network system design.
I could probably find a dark side to almost every competency statement. But that’s just me being me.
My guess is you push too hard by doing too much outside of the weight room for you to have the energy to push mind-numbingly hard in the weight room

As much as I respect pwn and know how effective his training style is, I honestly don’t see the point in going so hard. There are some coaches that advocate for not pushing the limits like he does and I find myself gravitating to these philosophies; however, that’s the result of my own motivated search
I seem to have “mental guard rails” that stop me before I really push to that extent. Still haven’t managed to get over them but I’ve made progress
In point of clarification, I have never trained to the point of vomiting.

Well, blacking out counts, and most ppl would puke/give up doing half of what you do
I have a bad habit of cutting workout shorts or doing less than I could
I significantly disagree that blacking out counts. That’s a blood pressure issue.
You have a bad habit: it is not what you think it is.

I wrote what I wrote not because I believe you should push to the point of vomiting, or viewing that as a necessity. I don’t. If I believed that blacking out and vomiting were necessary for progress, I think those views would’ve shown through on these forums earlier. My point didn’t pertain to what @T3hPwnisher does, specifically, or anyone else other than @anna_5588.
In particular, you (anna) have in the past compared yourself to others in a way that I personally believe has been of no benefit to you. I don’t think I’m alone in this view. But, what I’m trying to accomplish here is again highlight that as living, breathing, organisms, nothing we do really exists in isolation of everything else we do. Granted, the impact one of our actions has on another, how coupled and how our orthogonal our our various actions are is dictated by several factors. One of them is their magnitude.
Most people can go on walks every day, without having that negatively impact their lifting. But if they locomote to the extent that you’ve been known to do, then it may surely hamper what energy you have left over for other modalities.
Until you decrease your activity levels, you’d never be able to properly discern and untangle if those “mental guard rails” aren’t just a result of you having done too much, and carrying too much excess fatigue into whatever it is that you do.
I’m trying to coax you to step outside of yourself to view this as a possibility, as opposed to resigning behind a belief that you have “mental guard rails”.
Ideally, you’d learn this from experience, but your life doesn’t seem to afford you much in the way of impromptu and ad-hoc periodization by limiting your ability to do things counter to your goals in excess.
I remember one time where I did a lot of lower-back work at the end of my sessions, but then I had a meeting be scheduled earlier in the day so I didn’t have time for it. I busted through a deadlift plateau by ~20 kilos as a result.

Good point.
If I’m being honest, I think might be very tied to this idea because I want it to be true. Maybe I’m holding onto this activity in part so I have an excuse not to push??
This is definitely worth considering.
We can give you a lot of points worth considering but if you never change anything, you’ll never know their true value.

Week 21: Day 6 (yesterday)
Military Press: 5x12/side-25lbs, 1min rests btw first three sets
Seated Press: 1x10/side, 4x11/side, 25lbs
3x(10rows/side+10curls)-25lbs, no rest btw sets
- happy w/ press, really worked upper back and shoulders, rows really burned
Week 21: Day 7- Failed
5x(5 press/side, 10 alt pistols, 20 alt lunges)-25lbs
- only shoulders sore going in, but HR unusually high- even walking to the bathroom got HR up, wanted 20 rds- did NOT happen
Next semester, I’ll have to cut steps considerably due to a difficult math course
Also, I had my first therapy session yesterday. My therapist is a very nice and cool lady. She actually worked as a behavioural health specialist for 10 years before becoming a therapist so she’s very familiar w/ fitness stuff.
It was just an intro session, so we just got to know more about each other. I’m hoping she can help w/ my anxiety, low self esteem, and social interaction issues, which she said could be the root of body image/ exercise issues

Training update:
My schedule got out of whack and I didn’t take my “off plan week” last week, so next week will be off plan
I’ve realized that I’ve been slacking on lower body work because “I don’t feel like it”- this can’t happen any more:
Monday: Sprints& plyo
Tuesday: Press 1
Wednesday: Shrimp squats
Thursday: Off
Friday: Press 2
Saturday: Pistols
Sunday: conditioning
- the idea is to beat my last workout, even if by only 1 rep
Best log entry ever.

Reading this, it is hard to interpret it in any other way than “you will cut steps. Then. Not before”. I ask, humbly, why wait? Cutting steps will presumably stress you out. If you have a difficult math course to deal with, that added stress won’t be to your benefit.

I get so many steps in because I have quite little to do and choose to walk while listening to podcasts/youtube videos on my phone instead of sitting around. If I have more to do, then I walk less
For example, when I was at school, I only got 20-25k/day. Now that it’s break and with remote learning, I can join seminars/club meetings on my phone and walk around instead of sitting in the room
Sitting around would be healthier for you.
This is not only. That’s a lot. People that are on these forums that have to maintain those step counts because of their jobs have to work find ways to ameliorate the impact that has.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to.
It’s not as if you haven’t been told before that you are walking too much. You’ll have to step outside yourself, and your own rationale and question “is this reason (as in objectively reasonable, no one would object to it) or is this something else disguised as reason?”.
