I’ve been good so far. Raised an eyebrow when you used “sou” as a word though. What the fuck is a sou??[/quote]

Sou is what you get when you sit around for 20 minutes trying all the possible letter combinations until something finally works. :slight_smile:

K I suppose I shall update some nothingness since I am tired and I don’t feel like leaving my computer chair quite yet


I was stewing over possible routine ideas for the past couple of days. Felt XXTRA anxious and whatnot.

Read a shitton of articles/programs and there was always some little thing that I didn’t like about said program.

EX. All these basic texas method/starting strength thingies have to include cleans WHICH I SHALL NOT DO because:

A)I don’t know how

and

B) I just don’t effing want to!

Then I was like OMG FUCK maybe I should just do 5/3/1 again, but then I was like blarg, I really don’t enjoy military pressing so much anymore. It kinda bugged my shoulders in a non-happy way. THen I was like WELL maybe I’ll do 5/3/1 and do two bench days, or a bench and a floor press day.
BUTTT then i had VTBalla in my head being all “do as written”

MOre reading, more pondering, yadda yadda


KORTE 3x3 <—The chosen one

WHY ? SIMPLE, my crazy, over-thinking brain can handle the whole squat/bench/DL 3 times a week thingie.
I don’t trust myself to pick out my own accessory work cause then I go mental overboard on everything and think one exercise is the RIGHT one and therefore one is the WRONG one. I never know what to pick so I do everything and yaaaa. WHATEVER, I am a nut, and that is fine as nuts are typically delicious. Though often hard to digest. Maybe some people still think it’s worth it to indulge in them however, consequences be damnED!
Ya, awesome metaphor right?

UM K that’s all for now


OH life news: There is this semi-cute boy who sometimes works at the fitness desk and I was gonna talk to him and stuff. SO i went to the bathroom to gear myself up and then I started getting all nervous and my eyes do this extreme blinky thing. Like umm, it’s hard to explain. I blink my eyes excessivily tight/often when i am nervous.
SO ya, sittin’ there on the toilet, doin’ that, realized I probably shouldn’t talk to him cause I had nothing to say and I didn’t want my eyes to do that blinky thing. I just left and stuff, LOl. FOREVER ALONE

BYE

Hey

Second Workout on this korte mish mash

8 sets of 5 reps of squattage @125lbs (yes I know, light weight, but I am doing it by the book for once, ha)

6 sets of 5 reps of deadliftingness @ 165 lbs

8 sets of 5 reps of benchy bench @ 105lbs first/last paused

I am enjoying this so far. I keep my rest periods super short and it gets ma heart pumpin’.

Standing cable abs x 50, 25

Semi-cute desk boy was working again today and I really was going to talk to him this time, but then I saw him talking to skinny Mcskinny lifegaurd bitch for like 45 minutes so I said EFFF IT.

Some boys like thick womenz, some boys like scrawny womenz.
Someday I will find someone that can appreciate the enormous-ness of my legs, etc


If Alanis Morissette can find love, then dammit I can too! Uhh ya


Life news:

Umm, nothing really. TheJonty is actually a very good scrabble player. I’m impressed. I usually kick everyone’s ass, but our scores are neck and neck! THRILLING STUFFFFFFFS. Sometimes I get butterflies in my tummy when I see that I’ve got an X, HAHA.

Few tips for those of you who suck (2SCOOPS HAHAAH). Never give me an opportunity to use a triple word score! I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH IT. IFFFF, for some reason, you cannot find a way to use the triple word score for yourself, STOP ME from being able to use it, IE: put a C or a V near it so I can’t make a word that just has two letters (there are no two-letter words that have C or V) FYI.

NO MORE HELP, NO MORE TIPS!!!

RAJ AND TAJ ARE BOTH WORDS


AW SPOCK!!! Just because he was talking to her doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like you!! Give it a shot you cutie patootie!! :slight_smile:

You make me jealous because I haven’t had a lil crush is far too long
 but if I did I would jump at him! It makes you feel very very alive. You should go talk to him if you like him and get a feel for the water . if he’s lame then you can scoff at him rightfully!

Since when does being an employee and talking to someone who pays money to be in your place of employment imply that you like someone. Furthermore, just because you are indulging a paying customer’s desire to chat, it means you only are attracted to their bodytype? Stop making these crazy extrapolations/analyses, you are just seeking an excuse to not put yourself out there and talk to him.

Also, HAJ is a word, at least on words with friends.

WHY ARE YOU SO LOGICAL!?! Who’s the vulcan here?! HMmMm. Enough of this rational thinking


K did random extra shit for my off day.

Some back shit
some bicep shit
some straight legged sit up shit

k ya

Now on to some thrilling stuff!!!

Life news:

Donkey Kong Country returns is TRULY exceptional. It really brings me back to my childhood. Shit was so good back then
 The game is set up much like the orginal DKC for the SNES <—nerd lingo. Me and my kid are having a blast, A BARREL BLAST, AHAHHAH
HAHAHA
HAHAHHHHHHHHHHH

Seriously, it’s fun. But I am way better then he is so when I’m diddy he’s all “donkey sucks, let’s switch”
We switch then he’s like
“Diddy sucks, I want to go back to being donkey” HAHA.
Then this one level i kept dying over and over and he was getting so pissed at me. He was like growling/hitting me, LOl. THen he went to get some chocolate milk and I had beat that hard part in that 30 seconds and he starts screaming “MOMMY!!! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU JUST DID!!”

I was such a fucking hero in that moment, pretty epic. I know what my summer goal is now. MUST BEAT THIS GAME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS!!

Also other summer time fun stuff is right around the corner, batman, ASL immersion camp, Capital EX/monster truck show, OHH ANDDD a powerlifting seminar in spruce grove! I am going to see if I can get a ride there. That would be awesome.

K BYE

bwa haha, your log entries crack me up.

good luck with donkey kong country

K BYE

K second week of this Korte 3X3 shizzle.

squats 135lbs x 8 sets of 5
DL’s 175 x 6 sets of 5
Bench press 115 x 7 sets of 5 first/last paused

It looks so little when I type it out like that, but it feels like a lot


HOWEVER, I finished in under an hour :).

I wonder if I can be on this program until my meet? I know it’s only like 2 months, but it’s like volume, then intensity. SO maybe I can do like, volume, intensity, deload. VOlume, intensity, deload, etc


Does that sound alright? I don’t want to have to do something else that requires too much thinking. I find thinking really irritating.

I am kinda tired so this log entry is a little stupid.
I actually took yesterday OFF from the gym! I had my workout clothes on, my teeth brushed, keys in hand, and was like FUCK IT. I don’t need to go do extra shit today! TOday can be rest! So I went to the farmer’s market and cooked massive piles of food so I can finally go a few days without cooking. Sometimes standing around in a kitchen with a stupid hot stove gets tiring. I feel like i spend my whole life peeling potatoes.

UMM YA.

Life news:
I think I am starting to grow on my sign language tutor. She asked about my hobby’s and I sorta tried explaining powerlifting to her, but it’s a little hard in ASL. I don’t think I got my whole point across, but she thought it was neat.

Yesterday I volunteered at this Deaf/blind BBQ fundraiser thingie, which was cool. I was good at carrying shit up and down the stairs/slicing cheese, but I also felt like a doh head when I just stood around doing nothing and couldn’t understand half of what was being said to me. I just kept signing “ohh, I dunno
 not sure
” LOL! Then I realized OH WAIT She is just telling me to get forks, okay!

Ya not much else is new since the last time we talked. My kid is on daddy weekend so my day might be kinda boring. I might go shopping with my mommy or something. She’s my best friend aside from my dog.

K see ya.

K Extra shit today

DB rows (strict) 35lbs x 3 sets of 15
um back ext. BW 3 x 10
tricep DB stuffs
facepulls 4 x 10
tricep cable stuffs
standing cable abs x 50, 25

Good lil sessh. Gym made me feel hotter than a 300lb dude doin’ bikram. Not only was it HOTT HOT HOT, But it was also very smelly. It smelled hot, if that makes sense. It was almost burny, a burny hot smelly heat.
However, there was only like 2 other people in the gym with me this morning, so it was quite pleasent indeed despite the TEMP.

Life news:

I have discovered a new musical artist that I simple adore. SEASICK STEVE!!! What a wonderful man. Where has he been all my life?! Really uppin’ my ITunes bill though. I have no self control when buying somethin’ rockin’ is just a click away

Excellent!!

^^^ YAHH!! This is great! Last time I almost did a powerlifting meet I chickened out and all I felt was anxiety day in day out. THIS TIME, however, all I feel is excitment. Totally different than before. I am looking forward to this big time, as apposed to terrified like how I usually feel about everything, ha-ha.

K today Korte 3X3 week 2, day 2

Squats 135lbs x 8 sets of 5
DL’s 175 lbs x 6 sets of 5
BP 115 x 7 sets of 5 first/last paused

Hanging leg raises 12, 10, 8

Can I seriously just do this program for the rest of my life?

Gym news: (ha)
A little while back I wore a rolling stones T-shirt to the gym and the rolling stones came on the radio. I was very excited and ran to tell the fitness monitor. The following day I wore a red hot chili peppers t-shirt (I recieved it when I purchased their latest album “I’m with you”) and a song from that album came on the radio. I told my ‘friend’ Corey (IE: the only person who works out there that I respect/don’t hate) that I seem to bring the music, as every time I wear a band t-shirt, they are played on the radio. He laughed at me and told me to get real. I told him I needed to buy a Jack white t-shirt so they would play jack white for me.

ANYWAY, my mommy and I went shopping on sunday and she bought me another red hot chili peppers t-shirt, but more like an older-ish looking one. I wore it to the gym today and told corey to be prepared to hear the red hot chili peppers on the radio.
WELL, low and behold a few minutes later “can’t stop” came on the radio. WHICH is very neat because it’s an older-ish song and I was wearing the older-ish t-shirt, and when I wore the new t-shirt a new song came on.

SO ya, bascially I keep the place rockin’. If I wear a blank t-shirt they horrible music is played throughout my entire workout.
This means I need 6 band t-shirts so I can wear 6 diff. shirts for every workout of the week.

Life news:

I had this dream last night that my gym got rid of all their plates and just kept dumbells!! It made me cry


Then I was in the squat rack and looked down at my feet and I was wearing RUNNERS and not my lucky chucks! What a nightmare


BUTTTTTTTTT, it gets better.

I ran home and then went on a quest to search for Elite FTS and I ended up working out with Dave Tate, LOL! Nightmare turned into a dream! SO ya, that’s what I told fitness staff boy, my dream and what not. Convo went well. He semi chuckled, etc
 I went to the bathroom and there was no snots in my nose, so that is also a plus.

YA

Life news:

:slight_smile:

  1. It makes me happy that I am the person you think of when you think about deviating from the program to do random stuff and convinces you not to do it!

  2. Your story about skipping the gym and cooking food instead reminds me of one article they had on here back when they used to do roundtables and asked a bunch of the contributors the best workout they would recommend, or something like that. ONe of the guys (maybe Dan John? or Berardi?) said to not workout and instead go to the supermarket and buy food to cook for the week
I agree with this advice

  3. Congrats on talking to the dude at the gym
hopefully you will get lucky!

I’ll have to follow this thread just because you’re weird/cute at the same time. I couldn’t resist.

CS

You fascinate me.
