@FlatsFarmer Thanks!
@Friedrich “par for the course” might have been better than cheesy!
@T3hPwnisher I did find a picture of the stretching thing! The goal is AMRAP for 45mins, next week 50mins, next 55mins, next 60mins

Training montage W1D2
5 rounds (15 mins):
5 push ups
5 lying leg raises
10 toe touch to reach the sky
10 OH claps
20 atg toe squats
5 spread eagle sit ups
10 supermans
5 chins
1 min walk on toes
Notes:
- Watched “double impacted” yesterday (I had it on as background noise)
- I found a really cool movement. KB snatch to windmill. I also started keep a KB on the porch for when I go outside with the dogs
- @T3hPwnisher I noticed you said that you are going back to apex Predator over FF. Do you like apex predator better? Personally the 4 weeks of carbs/high calories just kills my focus (feast). I notice I’m more energetic and focused while being slightly hungry on apex Predator. Also you were right about reverse hypers being magic. The superman’s have made my hip feel way better and I could only imagine how much quicker it’ll get back to normal once I start reverse hypers again

You gotta keep in mind that, even when doing feast, I wasn’t eating carbs: I was just eating MORE meat and eggs. I’d have 2 meals a day vs 1. Right now my experiment with 1 meal a day is working out well, and settles in to what Jamie laid out in Apex Predator.

Ahh. That’s true. I couldn’t remember if you were full carnivore when you started it or not
Gotcha!

Lots of mobility work today
I think I’m finally getting a healthier relationship with lifting. I didn’t want to lift at all today and it’s been a really busy day, so I didn’t. I took a nap and did lots of mobility to clear up some nagging stuff. Hell I actually wanted to sit out in the sunlight and read my book
Granted tomorrow I’m just going to do today’s session in the afternoon and tomorrows movement in the morning but it’ll all the same.

Just found out there’s a BJJ open mat on saturday afternoons 10 minutes from my house. Most of the gyms are like 30+ minutes away so that’s awesome
Rugby practice is Tuesday and Thursday nights. It’s a mens club
Just keeping a laundry list of stuff bc I really want to get back to something that’s just not lifting. I should hit up my college’s club wrestling bc the guys I wrestled with started that so it would be interesting

That truly is healthy and you are right to recognize it as a positive. I think I am beyond that point myself as I can’t really recall the last time I did this but at least I have learned to step off the gas pedal to a degree where it is necessary, haha.

21 in 11 days. Louisiana has really weird alcohol laws compared to other states
Granted I might not make it to 21 if this college class registration goes any worse lmao
I can’t tell you how hard it was lol. I don’t “feel bad” because I don’t have any shows coming up but it’s slowly shifting toward lifting a lot of the time and taking off days when I need to instead of beating myself up mentally

Oh wow that is actually a bit younger, than I had in mind, haha.
@simo74 is basically right 
21 is the legal drinking age in Murica, right?

Technically. But LA has a bunch of weird work arounds like on private property with parent permission, it’s legal if you are over 18

I didn’t know that until pretty recently but if your parents are present, you can legally drink beer at 14 years old here, haha. Like in a restaurant

That’s pretty interesting. I could see beer being legal for that (especially non-acholic beer) My parents always had the philosophy of “I would rather you learn how to drink in a safe environment than go to college and die of alcohol poisoning”

My parents, especially father had a similar approach and being from a village (which is a whole thing in Germany), I was introduced to alcohol at a very young age.
The legal drinking age for beer, wine and sparkling wine (is that really the translation of Sekt, lol?) Is 16. Liquor is 18. I guess from a health standpoint our system makes little sense and the US system is very likely better, since drinking is such a negative influence on health overall. I am not familiar with the data on either personally but I know drinking here is a big issue and we drink more than most other countries. Then again to consider someone old enough to carry out an order to kill, maim or torture another person but not to vote or drink, is also a wild take.

I think this is both not fully understood or appreciated by the masses. My misses is currently seeing a specialist and getting some testing for a potential mass in her breast, the specialist asked her about alcohol consumption and noted that even 1 drink a day has a significant impact on the potential for cancer in later life due to the carciogenics in alcohol. Numbers are like double your chances.

Thumbs pressed for your wife, my friend!
Yeah alcohol is definitely a big health negative, although I am willing to appreciate the benefit it CAN have on social health (while acknowledging it as a coping strategy). At the end of course it is overwhelmingly negative. That said, I love to have a drink. Always did. I am not enjoying as many as I once did but even though I am aware of the possible consequences, I don’t see myself stopping altogether.

This is the 2nd time I’ve heard of sekt lol. My girlfriends dad is german and she says she doesn’t know how to translate it besides sparkling wine
Same thing with I can buy a long rifle or shotgun at 18 but not a handgun
It’s crazy how US culture believes one drink a day isn’t something significant. Especially in the south, drinking is extremely common but it’s not just 1 drink a day more like 3 or 4 on a light day lol
This is how my family has done it for the most part. Drinking in moderation is a social activity not a thing you do by yourself often

That is just decades of social programming. How can they sell us alcohol if we all dont think moderation is ok.
