Maybe you’re from the wrong part of China. Who knows? Who cares?

He’s a good guy, he’s just old and cranky like me. I’ve pissed off many people on this site. Having an opinion tends to have that effect.

Especially when you’re always right, like I am.

Week 2: day 6

Paused squat: 4x5-60kg 13X0 tempo
Good mornings: 8x6-50kg
Pullups: 3x5, 2x4
Lying leg raise: 5x10
Conditioning: 4x(5devils presses-25lb dbs+20 alt lunges)

  • tired and stress af, moved slow and took it very very slow and easy, paused squats felt good and good mornings were smooth

Update:

  • my digestion is going to shit… most definitely stress related

This made me laugh—I mean, isn’t that always true? Haha.

In all seriousness, though, sorry to read that. Mine’s been off lately, and it’s miserable.

LOL yeah

I’m pretty used to bad digestion but it’s been worse lately. My appetite is still high, but my ability to process said food is dimished so I’m more bloated than usual

Funnily enough, eating LESS veggies (just lazy sometimes LOL) seems to help

That checks with my own experience as well. Carnivore community echoes a similar sentiment. I had to start eating less of them and fewer.

Same here. In addition to adding the fiber capsules, I’ve cut out the head of lettuce I had been eating at lunch—seems to have helped. Same thing happened with broccoli awhile back, too.

Yeah, I had to move away from all raw veggies for the most part. Cooking helped. Now that I have the metamucil going, I’m trying to bring some stuff back in.

Okay, I think I’ll look into Metamucil and continue with the lower veggie protocol

I just remembered something really exciting that I forgot to mention. @boilerman

I got to interview one of the hosts of one of my favourite podcasts- Tim Houlihan from Behavioural Grooves (hardcore plug here)

OMG he is literally one of the necessary people I’ve ever met

  1. Our plans changed so we technically didn’t need to interview him anymore. He STILL agreed to continued with the interview

  2. He was so excited to talk to us and learn about our new project. Turns out he’s friends with the project leader (we’re working under a friend of our professor). We also talked about CMU (he’s good friends with the profs in my department)

It’s one of those awesome moments where the ppl you look up to are BETTER than you expect

I’m also super proud of how I scored the interview:

I’m part of a meetup group. The leader of the meetup group connected me with another member, who connected me with another member, who connected me with his former business partner, who turned out to be a former colleague of said podcast host.

Also, I must mention this:

I’ve been talking a lot about stress lately, but I’m not taking it as a negative. I’m busy bc of research and information economics.

Both are EXACTLY what I want to be doing. I GET to spend time writing a model; I GET to spend hours working on my project; I GET to spend hours perusing papers and pondering topics for my senior thesis.

Week 3: day1

Squat: 1x10-50,60, 1x6-70; 1x13-80kg
Beltless squat: 1x5-75, 5x5-70
Pullups: 4x5, 1x4
Deadbugs: 5x10/ side
Good mornings: 5x5-55kg
Duck walks: 6x20m-60lb db

  • this doesn’t look like much but it destroyed me, disappointed at the squat to set- cardio was fine but at the bottom of the 14th rep something “switched off” and I got pinned, rest of it went fine

Things like this happen. 13 reps is no joke so well done on that.
Not familiar with Sheiko so how many reps was the goal on that last set?

8453

THe target was 3x5, so 15

uhh… so I’m technically not running Sheiko.

I have the template to tell me how many reps to do at what weight. I try to consolidate sets when possible but use the perscribed scheme as a minimum for days when I feel crap.

I’m also not doing bench and lower body on the same days as perscribed bc that’s not happening this semester

I know I’m probably going to get a lot of shit for doing this, but it works for me given that I’ve done this twice and seen great results each time.

Sometime next year, I want to run the advanced version and I’ll follow that to a T since it’ll be my first time

I feel as if I’ve repeatedly called you out on your vegetable consumption so I’m glad that you’ve discovered this path by happenstance.

Week 3: Day 2

55min weighted walk-25lbs in pack

  • I was really sore and tired, this walk felt good, got blood flowing

Tomorrow is supposed to be a bench day. I think I’m going to do something different- inspired by @aldebaran’s 8/24 1991 workout

Tennative plan: 1991 lunges, 6x(8 push press- 35kg + 24 alt DB snatches-30lb DB)

Is this insane… yes… but that’s the idea.

If I have time, I’ll still get the bench workout in too

8456

Okay, I thought I’d log this one early

1991 air squats
8reps of push press at 45kg then 24 alt db snatches with 45kb db
Then
4x(8push press-30kg+24alt db snatches-30lbs)
@aldebaran

  • this was epic, turns out push press after so many air squats is very hard

Also got some benching in:
1x12-30, 1x10-35, 1x8-40, 1x6-45; 4x5-50 paused; 3x8-45

I’ve done 1mile walking lunges twice before so this wasn’t that much of a stretch

First of all Holy Shit nice work
Second of all how did you do that and keep track? Did you do certain amount in a structured set or just banged them out?

Third of all… As impressive as doing that many squats is… I am more impressed by the fact you were able to do 1991 and not do 9 extra to get a nice round 2k

Count to 100, then mark down every set until I got to 1900, then did 91. I didn’t take any tests btw the sets though

8/24 1991 is Ukraine’s Independence Day. The rep scheme is intentional
