Do any of your wives go ā€œoff topicā€ when getting in an argument or disciplining the kids?

For example mum might get into an argument with me about lifting, but will randomly go on a rant about my little bro being irresponsible in school or my dad not buying a house

Lots of rehab stuff already. She actually moves fine and she also does light weights in the gym but not the compound lifts. My goal is for her to strengthen her glutes and legs and teach her how to brace so that she can protect her spine. She admitted that she was always confused if she should inhale or exhale when lifting weights. She’s a busy body at home and so strengthening her legs will just be ultimately good for her.

@FlatsFarmer Thanks flats! Those are good points. I’ll start her on just body weight

Had a prolonged bout of lucid dreaming last night that went into Inception territory where I was lucid enough to be fully aware that I was dreaming and was even able estimate how deep the dream state I was in and weigh the options of waking myself up with the calculated risk of sleep paralysis occurring followed by the inability to fall asleep again or just go along with it since I gradually go back into a normal dream state after some time. This time it persisted for a fucking looong time.

For people who don’t understand how far this kind of lucidity goes, let’s just say you’re conscious enough to able to analyse shit like ā€œdo not try to bend the spoon but, instead, realize that there is no spoonā€ and then you can do consciously do funky stuff like move your hand through a table or walk through a wall. Yeah, it sounds like fun but you feel more tired when you wake up than before you went to bed.

Normal people usually wake up if/when this happens and then drift back to sleep without much memory of it when they ā€œreallyā€ wake up.

The trigger for this when you’re dreaming varies and is dependant on the individual. It’s kinda like how Russell Crowe finally realized he was hallucinating for years in A Beautiful Mind (ā€œThe little girl. She never ages.ā€).

I’m heading straight to my endo next week. His theory is that I sometimes overproduce prolactin due to excessive mental stimulation(mental stress can also be considered the same thing according to him) which leads to a dopamine imbalance, which leads to other imbalances in the brain chemicals that regulate sleep. Which is why I also get RLS and first experienced this in the military(stress plus severe sleep deprivation) and then after I hypothetically used deca.

It makes sense since I’ve been doing mostly stuff that includes commercial filming and post production along with lots of tech projects in the past year which required learning lots of tech shit and jargon. With regards to the latter, let’s just say I’m too old for this shit.

The actual confession:

Squatting and/or intense leg pressing aggravates this condition while I’m going through it. Real, high intensity leg pressing is much worse than squats when it comes to this even when using lower reps so all you ā€œpro-squatā€ Rippestilkin fanboys who think leg pressing is for pussies and won’t squat above 5 reps can piss off.

I’m probably going to stop training legs for some time.

I like how he went hard on Wokes recently and they tried to pull that he was a white supremacist and get him cancelled so his black wife chimes in on the discussion and says WTF you on about? The then decide this was more evidence of how racist he truly is :laughing:

Anyway, my confession is this came up as a suggested YouTube video and it made me think of you.

I saw that twitter post. It was one dumbass who made an implication that she was like a ā€œslaveā€ or still had some sort of ā€œslaveā€ mentality or something like that, right? Regardless, I remember it was so dumb that If the dude was anonymous, I would have suspected Joe Rogan and gang purposefully got someone to create that account to troll Bill.
