Swooning over 2 & 3. Imagine you just got unlucky with the lighting on 1 and that it was tasty all the same
Generally I cook for several days at once so if I fuck it up, thatās several days worth of food ruined. Kinda puts a bit of pressure on to make it good.
But yeah, I put no effort into making stuff pretty, as Iām sure you can tell.
I would like to hire you or @Voxel as my cook. I can pay in overhead press advice and beer (although I think Voxel doesnāt drink, so soda would also be an option).

@Koestrizer @aldebaran Thank you, Iām certainly not a gourmet cook or anything, I just like my food, and i get a lot of enjoyment out of it. If i just ate plain food, Iād be robbing myself of some of my favourite things.

@aldebaran @Koestrizer For people that donāt have cooking as a hobby I think Robert Rodriguez (filmmaker) advice from The Chef Show applies very well (Season 1 - Volume 1: Episode 5) [00:01:39]
āDonāt go making one or two dishes that are really difficult that youāll make once and never try it again because theyāre too difficult. Learn the food that you really love the most. Whatās the food thatās your go-to meal, youāve always loved in your life and perfect those. Those three meals.ā

Well I have pretty much 3 meals that are the same everyday ahahah but I never bother to do them for looks, and I donāt have fancy plates anymore
I think the idea isnāt about aesthetics but taste rather

Committed Week 4, Day 25 committed2020
Weight: 76.3 kg
A1. Seated DB shoulder press
A2. Rope face pull
3 sets, last one to failure
B1. DB lateral raise
B2. Lying face-down on the ground holding dumbbells in the air
3 sets all to failure more or less
C. Plate overhead raises
100 reps, started with 5kg, dropped to 2.5 after Iād hit contractile failure more than once and dropped again later, ending with 1kg.
D. Prone trap raises
Some sets and reps
Fun fun, got a pump pump
Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps some of your photos arenāt there because you didnāt post them though 
I post lifting videos even though I donāt think Iām āgood enough.ā I share photography with people even if Iām critical of it. I practice other hobbies with people even if I donāt think Iām great. I donāt avoid sharing or participating in things out of fear of not being good enough.
Dude, your food looks great! Iām jealous. Iāve been cooking 6lbs (2.7kg) chicken and about a kg of veggies at the start of the week and thatās the basis for most of my snacks/lunches. Itās way less beautiful and probably less delicious but it does the trick. Iāll post some shots in my thread sunday when iāve finished cooking the next round, just to show how boring it can look.
Do you have a slow-cooker? A Dutch oven?

Birthday check-in!
Morning pics
Treating friends for dinner later
Gonna go and get a nice leg pump now with a friend.
Wonāt log today, will fill in another day.
@dagill2 I was on a great and fun date yesterday! Was worried I couldnāt have that part of the emotional spectrum anymore so very happy to find out thatās not true.

Thatās awesome to hear man. Lifting heavy stuff is cool and all, but being happy is a million times better.
And happy birthday old man, youāre catching me up

LEGOS
A. Smith machine back squats 3x8-12
Hate that all the smiths are angled. Top set at 80? 100? Went one rep shy of failure. Not trying to die. Bodybuilding deload week. Had a friend along. Focused on ensuring she had fun (first time in the gym in a long time)
B. Glute kickbacks? 3x8-12
These were good. Need to do these. More sets to failure. Really highlighted a unilateral issue. No surprise but. Do more of these somehow
C1. Leg extensions
C2. Leg press
Get a nice quad burn.
D. Darden Abdominal Stack A
This is still a favourite. Canāt ever do the situps at the end though. I insist itās because Iām awesome at burning out my abs and not rely on other muscles!

Didnāt sleep much
Weight: something north of 76. Forgot to log
AM Climbing
5b (set for top/climbed on lead)
6a (lead/lead), semi-pumpy because of a weird flow. Rather lack of flow between holds. Climberās elbow irritant, despite decent clipping
6a (top/lead), super lovely flowy easy. Should be 5b.
7a (top/lead). Couldnāt finish, took the wrong path in the bolts - continuing risked banging head into a gnarly corner and reclipping wasnāt an option. Got a good pump and some nice falls and epic Ondra-screams though. Totally fried after tho. Just wanted a nap.
Need to become more proactive with my climberās elbow.
PM Lifting
Deviating from my comitted plan to something inbetween my first commitment and my second commitment. Iāll write about it later.
Some push pressing, not too heavy but above ohp weight
A. The Press 5x3 with AMRAP set
50
50
45
45
45 (6+1, some breath at the top)
B. RDLs 3x10@100
120 in the cards but not post-climbing. Had to use straps after climbing LOL
C. Triceps overhead extensions 3x10-15
D. Another triceps cable exercise taken to true failure. Managed to hold the point I failed concentrically for like a minute. Insane.
