Btw, u still using notion? I hired a freelancer from India on a personal basis to solve permission issues for an SSD which I literally cloned from my previous PC. Dude did such a good job I wanted to pay him more but he wouldn’t accept it. We had some informal conversations and he was saying he was into productivity stuff and the PSI is like 250 where he lives, which would be a fucking state of emergence here lol.
So I offered to send 2 air purifiers I wasn’t using only because the fuckers who made them sell them cheap but make it so you need to change the fucking filters every month. That’s how the dipshits make their money since it’s a local company and we do not have places where you can by cheap E11 to HEPA filters at cheap prices. You guys can get them at Walmart and in places like India and China, they’re fucking dirt cheap but the air purifiers are expensive. Then I found out the fucking Indian government won’t allow non-retail electronic products in unless they’re for life saving or stuff like hearing aids.
So I felt really bad that I didn’t deliver on my promise I decided I’d go buy a notion template that includes a task manager and some kind of productivity concept called P.A.R.A that cost me 50 bucks which would be around the price of the transport fees but I don’t really use it.
He’s not really keen on it. If you want a copy, tell me and I’ll share the original with you. For the instructions, I can go save the unlisted youtube videos into a playlist and send it over. The YouTube playlist would take a while, though. I’m not gonna consider this a bootleg in principle since I don’t use it even though I paid for it.
Which means it’s too fucking complex for me to use lol.
If you just need a task manager, duplicate the same dude’s ultimate tasks template, which is free on his site. It’s the same thing in the one I paid for. The task manager itself is too complex for me to use even though it’s free and I don’t care for the productivity methods the paid version uses.
I had to install Anaconda and it was like something inside me died. But at least they now allow the options to not fuck with your environtal paths and shit and not making itself the default env.
or if you were just calling a specific function from the library:
from [library name] import [function name]
Haven’t even tried it yet TBH. Every different class I take for programming seems to require me to use a different interpreter so I’ve just been rotating through them. I’m still a bit too new to have developed any preferences between any either so
I appreciate the offer, but I’ll pass because I honestly have no clue what I’d use it for and I’d rather not waste it.
Oh, no, I meant I didn’t know what the term “callable repository is” lol. One of the reasons why python, from what I understand, is so popular other that it fucking actually looks like English, is the amount of libraries they have.
Anyway, I checked my environment variables and with the tiny bit of knowledge I have (I consider stuff like this “hardware” which I’ve repeatedly said I completely suck at) and there haven’t been fucked with.
See what I mean @rugby_lifting ? It’s just the terminology you’re not familiar with.
Ok, I’ll ask others I know. I feel like I simply wasted $50 since even for task management I have my own system that I don’t use notion for.
I can really appreciate a guy that looks as good as you, but is using Real People weights. I often question the listed poundages I see in a lot of posts!
Your Honesty is Noticed and Applauded!!!
Best, Scott
Much appreciated! I should add that this was more of a deload workout because I wasn’t chasing heavy weights for anything, but these were all done with the intent of being heavy and controlled. I’ve found recovery to be far easier when not beating the logbook and not using too much for intensification techniques.
-Didn’t feel Lats like I should have. Might change BB Row out for Yates Row to remedy.
-Forearms and triceps got it good this run-through.
-Legs (thighs) were burning and have a little pump currently which is unusual for me.
-Also added a little light trap work in, because traps.
Added extra water to my Lemon Surge and really enjoyed it. Regular mix ratio wasn’t doing it for me, but ~30oz water to 1 scoop was great!
Shoulders felt really good after this session - was introduced to some new shoulder veins… kind of wish I had more pump in my Medial Delts. Biceps were on fire and calves were flat-lining. Yates Row for Lats Block was the right call; felt much better, still feels like it’s missing something… perhaps band Pull-Aparts or a BFR hold at the end of BB Rows.
So I haven’t kept up with my log, and coincidentally hadn’t trained in like a week… Lots of stress at work and an extremely anticlimactic interview result.
Long story short: I spoke with my boss if she wanted me to apply to a position I knew they were having a hard time filling; she firmly responded ‘yes’ that she wanted me to apply (because I already do half of the job’s requirements in my current role and frequently train the other people actually in the job I was asked to apply to). Went in for the interview, felt like I did great, then she comes back the next day saying “we’ve decided to go with a different candidate”… To which I know that no one else has applied or been interviewed.
Was extremely upset by this because she asked me to apply, but have had a couple days to reflect on it and decided this can still be a good thing for me. At least now I don’t have to keep doing stuff above my paygrade without being paid for it, because I’ve no one to impress
Anyways, I trained yesterday and just did some random Pull exercises as I just needed some iron therapy. Didn’t log training or weights, but this session felt pretty good - was also my first training session while on TRT.
Started TRT on Monday with 26mg ED injections, along with injectable Vitamin D3. Feel good, I think I’m noticing some of these changes but I’ll give it time - it’s been a very long and stressful week, so it’s hard to tell.
Sleep quality has been terrible the past week or so, but again - the entire week has been ridiculously stressful so I can’t say if TRT or Stress is causing this.
Chest Pump was solid, biceps pump was brutal and vein-inducing, and legs pump had me stable as a newborn moose. Triceps were good as usual, could be better with use of cables, but hanging on to cables, 2 mismatched dumbbells AND the dip-bars is asking a lot for a commercial gym (especially on Intl. Chest Day ).
1 week in on TRT and can’t tell a huge difference. I think I feel better but it’s still early to tell; will be adding in L-Carnitine 3x per week at 500mg per injection.
Home gym today; overall felt good. Forearm pump was pretty extreme, lats needed more, triceps felt good, calves hurt at high reps (due to pump i believe).
Been out of it this week, happy to be lifting again.
I’m no gym trainer expert but the 1 arm BB row that meadows uses in crewing death 2 feels awesome for the lats in a way I’m never felt them before. Definitely worth a try as it just seems to really hit the spot.
