This was an excellent update. I’m excited for your future. That belt squat is a fun toy: I hope you like it!

Undoubtedly. I should have dropped him when he got pissed off I couldn’t go to lunch with him when my nephew suddenly got put into the hospital
@T3hPwnisher the real selling point was the wall mount for it!
I lied. Im starting conjugate stuff tomorrow. I’m to the point where I just don’t want to lift on this program at all. It’s boring as fuck
I did get some movement in though
Goblet squats
KB swings
Reverse hyper
ME upper tomorrow

Maybe he was gay and was trying to break you down so that you would never leave him.
You’re too much of chad so you found yourself a girlfriend which might have resulted in his behavior getting worse.
Lol wtf am I typing

Got the belt squat built. Had to call off lifting today due to time constraints because with the belt squat, I had to reorganize the gym since it needed a stud. But the plus side is I got a lot of house stuff done and I’ve been running and gunning all day. About to go review for a presentation tomorrow. Can’t wait for everything to normalize again. Tomorrow is clear though
Did get in push ups, squats, chins throughout day

Just finished my biomechanics presentation on the acceleration of the knee during a pedal stroke on the stationary bike and I filled out 2 minutes of yapping to hit the presentation time limit. I was talking to my group after, I mentioned I did strongman for a year and bjj for 6 and was about to get into rugby when someone said “A big ass strongman like Mason knowing BJJ that’s pretty cool”. Not sure if it was said in jest but I’ll take the compliment lmao
But the fruits of being busy and studying hard while not lifting have gone well:
85 on last chemistry test
100 on last stats test
Did well on the presentation (not graded yet)
This puts me into a really good spot going into finals with a 82 in chem, 85 (should be higher after presentation) on biomechanics, 97 in philosophy, and 93 (without last exam) in stats

ME lower
Time: 40 mins
Trap bar deadlift: 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 275x2, 325x1, 365x3, 405x1
Hang clean: 155x4x5

Kb swing: 70x3x15
RH: 230x3x15

Notes:
- picked up some conjugate club programming so that’s this. I owe 12 sets of sled drags tomorrow
- Keep everything light today. First day getting back to it. Trap bar felt out of position and I see why with video. I def had 1 or 2 more with 45
- Belt squat needed way more weight
- 99 on kines presentation. I might be able to pull of 3 As and 1 b with finals

I totally had time today to lift but didn’t because I did this instead
Somehow I managed to fuck up a precut template but I ended up making a way to make it work

They feel like they are destroying me lol
Random Notes:
- I’ve been sitting on the ground a lot while studying. I think this has single handling saved my hips and hip flexors for being in a lot of pain. I can sit in a squat, pigeon hold, pancake, etc but the movement and positions work well
- Busy weekend. Phils exam, nephews birthday, and studying yesterday. More family stuff and studying today
- Going to lift tomorrow. 3 days is always my cut off period for not doing something. Even if it’s not the full session, just something
- At like 10pm post studying last night, I learned how to saddle stitch and made a little leather ring to practice

Pushpress: work up to 175x1, took out 205 but almost passed out with it in front rack
called it there
Notes:
- What a glamorous start to this training block lol
- Legit almost pass out here because I’m incredibly hungry and TIRED but that will subside shortly
- I think apex predator is doing me a little dirty here. I’m basically having trickles of carbs every couple days versus 1 feast. Still have the shakes and meat dinners. I’m going to have a feast tonight and get back to carb ups soon
- I’m not worried about the inconsistent sessions in the short term like this but part of me hates it because I do like to lift
- I’m going to have to get over only doing “full sessions” and do Cindy’s everyday
- Chem tomorrow, stats wednesday. Can’t wait to be done
