They’d honestly fit the intent pretty well if I can talk myself into doing them lol. I’ll probably end up throwing them in.

This is basically flagrant bragging, but I aced the Dec. 2008 LSAT during a practice session tonight (read: 2 in the morning). As in I got every single question on it correct with the same time limit as the actual test. Only 119 out of ~60,000 test-takers got this score last year, which I am genuinely unsure how to process lol. Goes without saying that if I can come even close to replicating it in January then I should be set to get a huge scholarship at a great law school and GTFO of Alabama.

My bad its Certified strength and conditioning coach

I actually have been thinking about getting certified at some point. I informally coached a novice-lifter friend of mine up to a 405 pull over the last school year, and it felt even more rewarding than setting my own PR’s. Not sure if it’s something I’d consider making a career out of but definitely an interesting option.

Solid top set on the bench. Got a 98.7% on another philosophy test, aced a project in a polisci class, and have a Polisci test next week. But it’s 2.5 hours, 20 multiple choice questions, taken from home, and open book/notes/internet/classmates, which basically means the professor has given up on the class less than six weeks in and can barely inflate the grades enough to make up for the fact that nobody does the extremely nominal amount of work expected from them. Roll mf tide.

Legs pretty toasted from this. Good day all-in-all though. Held off on starting split-squats because they always make me stupidly sore and I have to hit a heavy squat this week. I’ll probably do some over my Deload and start in earnest next cycle.

The small plates are out of the frame (on the other side of the clips) so instead focus on how thick I look at 200+ Lbs.

30 pound PR on my 6RM, 3-rep PR at this weight. Probably the best set of my life. Entering the Deload in style.

95.5% on a polisci test. This was supposed to be tomorrow, but that evening/night is blocked off

@T3hPwnisher Thought you might like to hear that for the D&D campaign I’m in this year I’ve gone with a half-orc barbarian. The rest of the party all took stealth/charisma/caster builds and I’m out here ripping doors of hinges and mauling people with a greataxe lol.
