Nothing crazy today as far as lifting is concerned, wasnāt motivated enough to push super hard. In fact I honestly thought I was going to skip this entire session for two reasons: itās 16 degrees outside, cloudy as well, and I trained yesterday.
Somehow I found the willpower to squeeze my hard conditioning on the same day. Glad I didnāt skip this session but, I really did not feel like training today.

Thanks man, Iām going back to college tomorrow so next week Iāll be training in Goldās Gym. It is going to be so nice not training in super cold weather. Ughhh the feeling of a freezing cold barbellā¦

You may one day reach the point where youād rather train by yourself on freezing cold equipment than share with others. I know I am that way. I canāt stand communal training environments.

I can definitely understand that, itās mad annoying when thereās a bunch of people on equipment.
But people arenāt a big problem for me at the gym, luckily majority of gym-goers think the same, as in they donāt show up to the gym in the early morning. I used to go to the gym around 3 pm and it was absolutely terrible. A lot of traffic on the way there (I hate driving because of people) and the gym is super crowded.
Iāve always fantasized about me owning a house with a garage gym but for a different reason, I hate driving.
unpopular opinion, but I like training with ppl.
I like to be around ppl since I donāt have much interpersonal interaction otherwise.

I wouldnāt mind training with someone if they moved like a machine otherwise they are just a burden. Also, they have to be doing the same thing Iām doing.

oh, I donāt mean actually training WITH someone- that would be very difficult to coordinate
I meant having other ppl in the gym. Even if I donāt actually interact with them, Itās nice to be around ppl.

Same, I hate training with people, I enjoy training around people. I usually split days between the house and the gym.

I am a happy man because I stuffed the college apartment freezer/refrigerator with grass fed ground beef, ground turkey, and 100+ eggs. Thanks for giving me a head start with groceries dad!

Thanks man! Gotta make sure I stay on top of that diet. I just have to watch out for soda, my roommates bring a lot of that over and theyāre willing to share. My parents never allowed soda in the house or really any soft drink. That stuff is super tempting and addicting which is a no no.

Moved like a machine so far this morning. Woke up at 3:30 am unintentionally, wanted to wake up at 5 but honestly Iām just going to do that again cause I save myself more time. Iāll be doing 3 days of hard conditioning now since I decided not to add another PR set or Widowmaker. Will probably add more days of easy conditioning as well (burpees or something I guess).
Still a bit annoyed I have to use uber to get to the gym but itās worth it. Besides Iāll get another student loan refund and Iāll also be employed this summer so I guess it doesnāt matter in the end.

I can definitely understand this. I am kind of lucky that my gym is generally quiet and I just set up in a rack in the corner and no one goes near me. Friend of mine gave me the nickname of the Silent Assassin because I silently appear, work and silently disappear .

Wouldāve been a pretty cool title for your training log

I finished all my meals at 2:27 pm today and it was super weird. Right now, Iām not hungry yet I could really just eat something now. I think it would just be gluttony though. Given the progress Iāve been making I suppose I donāt need to eat more.
Hey dude, Iām curious what a normal day of eating looks like for you? Iām pretty sure our stats are pretty close as far as lifts/height/weight are concerned, if Iām not mistaken. I think itās be interesting to see what you eat in a day, and maybe Iāll steal some ideas from you haha.
