Mate, I been trying to tell you you’re getting super old. The young people no longer understand your creepy dad jokes!

Also, had to google this dragon fly thingy, looks like it would hurt my poor old back.

Mate it would snap mine
Nah, you lost me there mate. I’m clearly losing my touch.
I think they’re less easy to mess up on that front when compared to an ab wheel, but what do I know. I’d also rather do dragon flags than hanging leg raises
C2W2D4
50 pushups
Some jumps
Deadlift
125x5
155x5
175x5
200x5
165x5x10
Goblet squat 27kgx2x15
BB Curl 55x17, 45x14
Some band pull aparts
I was a little afraid 200 would feel heavy today, but it finally moved quicker like a few months ago. Even better was how light 165x5x10 felt. This ties my deadlift BBB PR from about a year ago. Sure, this time I wore a belt, but I’m also a bit lighter now, so I’ll call it even. I was planning to do 170x5x10 next week but might go for 175 to do BBB with 25s. Jim wouldn’t approve, but honestly the deadlift volume hasn’t been all that challenging these past several weeks.
Top and final BBB sets:
Also took a little longer today. The sorta strange older guy (landlord and another guy have had some issues with him) in my building was doing laundry – fine – but hung out in the basement the whole time. And shirtless. I’m probably making something out of nothing, but it was a little weird.

Maybe take a vid next time. I cannot even wrap my head around how to even start doing one. Do you rep them, or do you just hold the position?
Erm, yeah, that is a little weird. Hanging around OR shirtless? Okay. Both? Creepy.
That’s pretty weird yeah
That would set off my weirdness alarm, for sure. Did you get the ‘he’s being shirtless “at” you’ vibe? And was there furtive ogling going on? Be careful.
Brian Alsruhe features them in one of his vids around 5:40
Even hanging around would be weird because no one hangs around in our building’s basement. There’s nothing to do there.
To be fair, he started doing his laundry before I started lifting. I thought he was just moving his stuff to the dryer like anyone would do, but then he hung around, sat in a chair. He wasn’t watching me because there is too much stuff in the way to do that anyway, and all he said was hi when he came back down. All in all, I think I am/was simply a little jaded because of what I heard from my landlord a couple weeks ago.

You did not lose me here, I just assume it’s not really Bagsy’s type of humor.
Wait am I now older than dagill or what?

Honestly, at first I took it as mansplaining, but shortly after I sensed the alternative. I decided to simply take it literally. My sense of humor is for better or worse probably a bit darker 
Nothing wrong with that, I just try to keep it all PG on here. Dont wont to seem like you old shirtless creepy friend !

Haha, no harm, no foul. It’s the Internet, after all.
Not sure that makes it better!! At least with people you know in person you can get a sense of what things you say they take offense to or how far to go. Hard to do that with someone you only interact with online.

Plus facial expressions and tone of voice. That’s why it was so easy for me to interpret your comment in multiple ways.
I can’t speak for you or others, and not that I don’t value online discussion, but there are other things to keep me up at night besides comments directed toward me on the Internet from people who don’t really know me – even if they offend. Easier to shrug things off. Unless someone threatens to take action in person, of course.

6 hill sprints
1 mile cooldown 8:00
Not as hot as usual + there was a group of what looked like runners also running the hill this evening. It felt disgusting/good to do more reps today because I felt like I was dogging it the past couple of weeks. Today was a good deadlift day, I’m still on a mental high from last weekend, and I’m taking extra vitamin D, so all in all I feel half-decent right now!
Next week will be a true test, especially on press, front squat, and deads. Then the cycle is over. I don’t feel like an anchor is the right move now. Need to figure out what to do next, might reread Forever this weekend.
