The Training Post
Went twice last week, seems that’s decent for me lately.
12.8.10 (at the local)
Took the Space Cadet (awesome girl I work with sometimes, not so much a SC anymore but the name stays) to the gym to goof around. Knew I needed to do something, but knew I couldn’t push myself too much.
Worked up to some 135 squats for 3 sets of 5
corner T-Bar rows for 8 sets of 10, worked up to 45lbs on the bar
lying leg curls, 3 or 4 sets of 10. 30, 50, 70, (maybe 2 sets at 70?)
story- guy asks me to spot a 185 seated MP. Ok. Sure. Rep 1 goes ok, rep 2 is slow goin down and stops on the way up so i grab the bar and let him coax out a rep… top of rep 2 he says, “im goin for another one help me on this one.”
ok, asshole, whatever you say. just be finished quickly bc im choking on your cologne and while i don’t have a problem with mind altering drugs i don’t wanna fall off this platform.
so i help on rep 3. we rack it and he turns around with a shit look on his face to tell me that i.helped.too.much.
threw my hands up and walked away.
when he asked me to spot his next set at 155, i told him i’d let him drop it on his teeth. he didn’t seem to mind.
12.11.10 (EFS)
squats again, heavier this time
worked up to 215x2x2, because the second pair HAD to be better than the first. It was.
3x15 hip thrusters on the supercool machine they have, and 4x6 on the BW ghr’s. left it on the lil incline again.
Felt good to be back. Not as strong as I want to be, but I really hafta check my ego this month and just get my ass to the gym to do SOMETHING.
Workin 7 days in a row, but glad to be working and have the job. Will like it even more next payday!
Other random catch-up stuff i can remember to update-
Classes ended with two A’s, and one B. Good enough for this time around. Absolutely MUST stick to schedule and routine next quarter. If I lift regularly I’ll feel better, which will let me work more efficiently, which will let me sleep better, cycle cycle cycle. I know all of this and I hafta act like it.
The grant class had a formal presentation ceremony as part of with, with each student giving a speech about one part of the process or another. I knew the speech i wrote was better than the rest of the classes because either a)i have a command of the english language, b) I’m awesome in front of a crowd or c) both.
I ended up making my professor (who’s now my mentor) cry along with one of the ladies from one of the non-profits, and shocking my classmates. The classmates insisted that i NOT wear my aviators or a bun to the presentation, and that i wear a dress. ok. so i did.
next post has professor commentary about my presentation and a pic of Pegg and I. if the commentary has those weird symbols or whatever in it, thats bc i copypasted.
Work is gettin to be a clusterfuck. A visit from the corporate suits brought more change in policies that not only have no logical basis, but are unsafe (cluttering a fire exit? really?), and making literally impossible demands for our time at on the clock. Hopefully the new people will catch on faster… pls pls pls…
There’s a hip thrust machine?
ok if and when my connection resumes normalcy i’ll post the pic and commentary, if it hasn’t posted 4 times already. 
Cbear,
Congrats on your classes, hope you get a good break, next time let that douche drop the bar on his head if he doesn’t want help from a beautiful lady.
trying pic and commentary separately.
Claire,
In the ten weeks that Iâ??ve known you, soft-spoken or subtle wouldnâ??t be adjectives that I would imagine myself using to describe you, and, in regards to your presentation last night, I mean that in the best of ways. However, there was a gentleness in the way you spoke that made some of the phrases that raised concern in class, namely the mention of urine, come across with a different kind of gravitas than I think weâ??d imagined.
So I guess if thatâ??s the definition of the word awesomer, then your presentation was just that and perhaps the best example of the importance of delivery that I saw last night–lines meant to elicit laughter did just that, but having a greater impact were the lines that made them think. As an orator, I believe you to be skilled. Nothing felt regurgitated nor was there evidence of any nerves; you were even-toned, engaging, and compelling as a speaker.
Thatâ??s why I teared up–it wasnâ??t Claire the jokester that perhaps the words on a white page might have led me to imagine; it was a sincere and thoughtful Claire that I look forward to seeing much more of.
In particular, I think it was the way you wove your personal impressions of the community, PLACE, and the population they serve in with data and observations from the field that led to audience comments such as:
OMITTED (too many edits for location and privacy)
Strong in both content and delivery, I felt as though your section of the presentation closed the evening on a high note. The only change I would have made would have been to allow for a â??momentâ?? wherein the check could be flipped, but hindsight, as they say, is always 20/20, and, emotionally, I think that there were many â??momentsâ?? already in your presentation. Having the opportunity to watch EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and STAFF responses, I noticed also that they were nodding with each point you made and could visibly see that they were not only pleased with but also touched by the way you represented their organization.
END COMMENTARY
it just so happens I got to give the speech for the homeless shelter felon program, who got the most funding of the 3 places and is the place i wanted to fund fully after all the research was over.
The middle schooler’s book will get made because my professor applied for and received another grant to give them, and the class organized a bake sale on campus, which went to the same cause. (I think I’m also being recruited to be a mentor for some middle schoolers next quarter. i don’t think this woman knows what she’s gettin herself into.)
The battered woman’s shelter got money to pay for prescriptions, gas cards, and document replacement.
You can bet you’ll be hearing about me and charity work in the future.

Your posts always are “interesting”…
Merry Christmas.
you’ve done good Bear
so much potential for evil and good one person is scary!
I kinda like it.
MIM- I believe so, and the more people i can convince, the better. for me.
ya know, you’re not so bad yourself!
Hallowed- i KNOW! i thought the speech was good when i wrote it, and i didn’t like how much it got toned down when it was edited by the group, but i was surprised by the reactions i got.
jack- i know how you feel about my monday updates, how could i let you down? and FTR, the urine line goes like this:
[quote]…one of the stereotypes we’re still plagued with at the start of the 2000’s is homelessness.
It leaves a sour taste in the mouth, reminiscent of cheap wine and stale tobacco, with a dash of urine and body odor competing for attention.
The economic reality is that homelessness is more of an issue than ever… (stats about stuff)… those numbers don’t mean that the overpasses are otherwise occupied; it means that it could be your LPN, your real estate agent, or your child’s teacher walking through the doors of…" [/quote]
said calmly, respectfully, and sincerely. Honestly, for this part, I used the same tone as when i explain death/religion to my nephew. weird? seemed to work.
picture still won’t load. anyone know tech tricks for this?
oh and N- i like it, as well. I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!! (said maury povich guest style)
Cheap wine. Yeah, baby.
haha kimba you did well, pointing out the things i miss. everyone else who read it has been goin through it with me, so you could see the stuff they didn’t. i like that. u haz job. i pay you in ass pics.
wow, those comments were awesome, that’s a keeper. I’m glad you were able to take the edited speech and put yourself into it. I teared up and I wasn’t there for the full effect.
I’m glad most, if not all, the projects got something.
Congrats CBear!
