Hmph, I wondered what happened to you.
But your class is important and I’m proud of you, so I’ll wait patiently.
I’m sure you can work something out with Todd. Hope to see you back in there soon. Get crackin’ on those morning questions! Hey, just a heads up, I’m pretty sure we are going to Mongolian BBQ on Wednesday night. Not sure exactly what time, but I’m sure I’ll have to close the gym. So we’ll probably go after that.

When I got 397x8 before, it was an ugly set. So today, after working 12-16 hour days, and conditioning in the morning, getting a strong 5 feels like a PR, even though I know it is not.
I think of it as a PR. You still “progressed” from doing a crappy set of 8 to an excellent set of 5. That’s awesome.
Thank you dear, haha.

Didn’t have it in me to do the reps of 5 and 3 on the third week of 5/3/1, but I can always stir up enough get-up-and-go to do a single. So I did. Then went heavier because I had some “pop” today.
It is always a little fun to lift at the main campus gym with all the undergrads. You see the strangest lifts, set/rep schemes, form, etc.
Hmm, when was the last time I told you that you’re awesome?
Too long.
You’re awesome.
Except for switching between kgs and lbs?
You’re lucky that I’m a cooperative person.
Ah, Nik, you gotta forgive the one time slip-up. ![]()

It’s my “spring break.” Done with the ortho elective, so I get a week off. Got a little school, studying, research, etc. to do, but it is time to really get after it.
Spring break is good news for me. Now you get to spend more time here with me ![]()

I tried to sprint, but that just wasn’t happening with any kind of authority after yesterday’s squat session.
Glad to see you have some time off from school. Get after it!
