Set the bar on safeties inside a power rack. Use those box jump platform things (or even aerobic steps) to stand on. Measure the height from the regular setup and transfer that to your new setup inside the power rack. Use plates under your feet to adjust as necessary.

Touch and go was my best option with those

I confess that I think that anyone who uses a seated calf raise machine is not actually training

My post workout meal is going to be a pound of chicken livers pan fried in kerrygold butter. I confess I am beyond excited
I woke up 2 lbs heavy this morning. At first I freaked out, but then realized that Iāve had at least 3500mg sodium every day for the past week
I also confess that after not squatting for more than a week, weights fell much heavier than they should
Stop it now, youāre ruining it for me.

I havenāt had hex plates in years, but the best remedy for the rolling issue is to add so many plates that every side is the pointy side.
If thatās not an option, try literally grabbing the plates by the top handle for your reps. Longer ROM, more trap involvement.
uhhhh, neither of those are going to workā¦ I have a 5ft āwingspanā and canāt even deadlift 3 plates
Itās honestly not a big deal. Iāll just crank the collars on tight and be careful on the eccentric. Might even make the deadlift more effective
Youāve got benching arms!
Touch and go it is then lol.
If you have real collars (I believe theyāre called ābulldogsā) then you may be able to lock the plates in place, but it depends on the bar and the plate style.

I confess I had a covid booster shot booked today but, being the dumbass that I am, I went to the wrong facility because I had both my previous shots there and forgot I had booked a slot at a different one this time.
Then I found out that they could easily slot me in and I didnāt even have to queue up because I estimate only about 1/4 of the people who booked my time slot and slots in the range of 1/2 an hour before and after mine didnāt fucking show up. The whole fucking thing took less than 5mins.
Fuck. I booked the other facility online because all the slots for this one and those in the aforementioned timeframe were completely filled and this facility is an 8min walk away from my home. If most people arenāt idiots like me, theyāre fucking assholes.

I confess I will gladly be taking advantage of the near-empty gym tomorrow (my birthday) and will be intentionally slamming weights/grunting loudly to mark my territory.
I also confess I have done this for years on my birthday, so much so that it might as well be a tradition for meā¦ I usually hitting new PRs on these days (I benched 225 for the first time on my 21st bday).
There is a chance that classes will go online againā¦ My school hasnāt put out any notices yet thank (insert deity of choice)
It feels like every time things start to look better, everything goes to shit again.
I also confess that my biggest concern is whether the school gym will close
I finished this in 2 days. 1 quart 1 day, the other 1/2 quart the next day. Imo, it tasted better than 90% of the available HaagenDazs flavors out there. Wish it came in pint sized containers so I wouldnāt pig out as muchā¦

I want to skip conditioningā¦
Iām tired, digestion is very off
If I didnāt do conditioning, would I be a pussy?

No, you would not. Your stated goal for conditioning is āto be in shapeā iirc, you wonāt fail that goal by skipping 1 workout when you are miserable.
