Referring to my writing to the dude on the Wendler forum. We need to show the lights for the ones who fumble in the dark, even throw in some big headlight if needed.
Thanks man.
Was just on my way to the barbell, it’s time to bench.

Exactly that, yeah. When it’s a mindset change, I don’t mind being patient, but I don’t have the patience to argue about sets and reps when Jim’s literally written it out for them.
Enjoy your session.

Bench was for once fine did 11 last month it was 10, it wasn’t the extra rep, rather than bench actually felt good.
OHP I can somehow feel that this is going to be a struggle if not next time, then the final week of the cycle.
Assistance fine, good pump and adding a rep to the last set of pushups.

Not enough beer, obviously.
ahh yes of course, will make that up later
Is that a bad thing? Looks like your sessions are a good volume. Probably burning more calories than you think!
The other day I reflected over the fact that my weight gain jumped across from low 78’s to 79+ and that I’ve been there for a week, and then I dropped 1 kg over a day.
Nothing serious just a bit odd.
Woke at 78,1 kg.
Just after the weigh in I received a call from the nurse at the hospital, I should come quickly.
Yesterday I talked to Mom, she was feeling terrible and I could hear that she was a bit scared. We had a brief talk and we made a deal that I should call today. Then the nurse could take her out if she was feeling better.
I wasn’t allowed in the hospital because of Corona. Damn disease.
This morning the nurse called and said I should rush because Mom had i much worse.
When I came to the room (I was allowed because of the circumstances) Mom was dying. She laid with open eyes and a light breathing. I talked to her, told her I loved her, held her hand kissed her forehead and said a prayer.
About 10 - 15 minutes later she straightened up, took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Within a minute she was gone.
I remember when dad passed a year ago he laid with open eyes. Mom didn’t like it, she was a nurse and she told me they always closed the eyes of the deceased.
At that moment I’m pretty sure she knew I was there and she closed her eyes to say goodnight and goodbye.
Damn I miss my mother, I was/am the only kid they got, that stayed alive. Before me they had two little girls why died within two weeks.
Mom got 86 years old and had a good life and a good family. We’re all going that way and we all know it. But for the ones being left behind it’s never on the right time. We all wants just a little longer to say the important things.
I will end this post and encourage you to tell your loved ones that you love them and care about them, you never knows when it’s too late.
Peace

A danish band played this song on the radio on my way down to say good bye.
It’s such a beautiful piece of music there is about a minute intro before the lyrics btw.

Mort, I’m heartbroken to hear about your mom. I’m sorry for your loss.
Whether it’s good or bad is up to each of us, but you sat there with each of your parents as they passed. You held their hand, gave them comfort, and told them you loved them in their last moments. That’s something that many people don’t have the opportunity to do.
