5x(5 bear complexes-30kg+20 alt dead bugs+30sec rest)
Thrusters: 7x6-30kg EMOM, could have done 10 but shoulder was buggy and didn’t want to screw with it @SvenG
pullups: 3x3 pullups, 3x4- ng chins, all EMOM
bottom’s up KB press: 3x12-6kg KBs
felt pretty shit but wanted to get something in, upper back is perpetually sore and have the “something crushing my chest” feeling, the bear complexes felt good and got HR up, thrusters felt really good for legs until my left shoulder started feeling weird and I didn’t want to tweak it, played with pullups/chinups
@Andrewgen_Receptors@doogie@cyclonengineer@dagill2 I’m going to respond here as not to provide ammunition to a particular poster…
To be fair, I do feel like there’s a pretty heavy low carb slant here in TNation. There’s a lot of talk of “not training hard enough to warrant them” or “carbs are for cheat meals”.
I understand that a lower carb approach is probably suitable for most ppl here ( and in general!!!) and that doesn’t apply to me, but I still sometimes feel guilty for eating carbs when I read training logs/confessions Note: I’m actually supposed to eat higher carbs than I’d like for hormonal reasons. My endocrinologist said that in many cases, excessive carb restriction is not conducive for healthy hormones in females
Never feel guilty for eating what you need to to be healthy.
I eat lower carb for medical reasons mostly. I have also read some interesting works that say carbs outside of fiber are not necessary for bodily function (of course there are things that refute this too).
For the record, i’m not a blanket low carb guy. I object to the dogma and arrogance displayed by that guy, but if he changed his post to “i do better with high carbs”, i’d have no issues at all. I think that some people do better low carb, some don’t, and that people should be experimenting with what works for them, physiologically and psychologically, in the same way they do their training.
I eat 347 g of carbs 5 days a week and then 695g carbs on 2 days. That’s what my coach dictates and I’m not in a mass gaining phase. There are different approaches to the same goal.
The crazy part about this, is that I truly dislike Keto. Not the diet, just the cultish dogma of it. dudes be on keto eating sticks of butter thinking they’re still going to lose weight.
It also doesn’t give very good tools for dieting when you stop doing keto.
Being in relationships can be difficult. Sometimes you have to have a few to learn what it is that you actually want, how you want to be treated, and what’s okay for an other person to expect of you. Some people get lucky first strike but not all do.
I sometimes look at my friends with their partners and hunk that it’d be nice if I had someone with me. However, I had a chance for a relationship (gym buddy 1) and realized it wasn’t what I wanted.
I “liked” my friend(that one) but I didn’t really like him for him. I liked him for his market design stuff.
It’s also complicated for me bc I’m not physically attracted to ppl.
There’s a difference between not knowing if you want a relationship as opposed to finding out what you want in a relationship. Being in relationships help you with the latter.
It might make your dating pool smaller but so would being polyamorous. It’s up to potential partners to decide for themselves what they’re willing to sign up for.
@twojarslave thank you for validating me in the Russia thread.
Punnyguy has a problem with me and I agree with him most of the time. It still feels nice that I didn’t say something stupid and that my years of Eastern Europe obsession wasn’t completely useless
Much disagreement both online and in person can be boiled down to people having more malleable definitions of words in their own head. Superpower is definitely one of those words. We can all be guilty of this at times, with all kinds of words. Especially arguing on the internet.
Eastern European history can get pretty wacky. History has put us in the crosshairs of some bad people over the years, and not just communists and Nazi’s killing us by the millions a few short decades ago. It is interesting to think about how Poland was on the verge of being wiped out by the great superpower of the middle ages, the Mongolian Empire. If you think Russia’s foreign policy is bad, read about those guys.
It seems like we were saved by dumb luck after getting our clocks cleaned along with King Bella of Hungary. The Great Khan Ogedei was an alcoholic and died early in 1241. When the Khan dies the whole army has to pack up and return home for the kurultai. Just like that, the Mongols left. Sorry folks, the invasion is closed. The moose out front should have told ya.
Mongols and other steppe people continued to be a huge problem for the Poles for hundreds more years, but never had the same chance they did in 1241 to sack and slaughter the entire land unopposed. We were a lifestyle choice away from being like so many other peoples the Mongols encountered, sharing the same fate as a stone dropped in water.
, everything moved smoothly, conventional still sucks
