Random advise, not sure if appropriate or not. Take with a grain of salt.
Don’t overanalyze friendships/relationships. Just be genuine.

yes.
Ha 
I overanalyze everything. I’m in school to study ppl BC I overanalyze (and bc I’m didn’t want to do the maths for proper econ)
Would you rather I left that line of questioning alone?
I don’t mind questions. It’s just that I probably won’t have good answers
I’m going to just say, then, that the most important and fulfilling relationships I have in my life are the non-transactional ones. Borrowing Dave Tates metaphor: these are the people around my coffin at my funeral, rather than the people at the back who are there because they feel they need to be.

Week 2: Day 4
- gym opens late, didn’t feel like doing conditioning so I did the week 3 press workout instead of deadlifts today (will deadlift tomorrow)
Press: 1x5-20,25,30; 1x1-35,40, 95lbs, 105lbs- PR!!! ; 5x10-25 (note the unit inconsistencies. I have kilo plates up to 40, then a set of 25lb plates and a set of 5 lb plates)
Rows: 6x10/side-25lb Kbs
Curls: 2x25-25l Kb
Z-press: 3x6/side-25lb Kbs
3x(5lateral raises/side+10overhead tricep extensions)-12lb Db
Conditioning: 4x(40sec DB devils press-20lb Dbs+20sec rest)
Abs: 20 db plank pass through-20lb DB+20 deadbugs
- didn’t feel good and very glad I had an excuse not to deadlift, press went amazing though… ovbiously
I’m going to do something crazy tomorrow for new years deadlifts

Is this something you are content with or desire to change?
I am fully content. It’s what my professors have noted will make me successful in research.
I was contemplating going into psychology for pre-med before. I came to the conclusion that me (personally) studying psychology or “understanding how people think and behave” will just cause me to become arrogant because I would assume people act a certain way for certain reasons. Of course they’ll probably teach you how to not be biased and all that but still, I didn’t want to risk it.
Personally, as I grew older, I realized that over analyzing people and things just gets so fucking tiring. It’s unfair to the other person too specially if your actions change because of what you thought they meant or were doing, when all along your overanalysis was wrong.
Just my thoughts. Maybe I just suck at overanalyzing. If it works well for you, well, it works well for you. Lol

Nice!
In my experience, it’s the carbs that bring the bloat. I’m usually good to go with lots of meat. Don’t worry about your belt, enjoy the night!

The plan is to do an insane deadlift workout. Muscles feel great but I’m sleepy and gut is pissed
I’ll see what happens
Congrats on the PR! Great way to end the year.
That’s some kind of PR too, right? Haha.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Nope… i can eat pounds of meat. I don’t bc I don’t have the calorie budget to do so and am not willing to push hard enough in the gym

Nice one!

Jamie Lewis had talked about how it goes the other way: WHEN you eat the pounds of meat, it results in pushing harder in the gym. His “apex predator diet” was a solid proof of concept for it. “Will” didn’t appear to be a factor.
