Some kids need to learn some gym etiquette.
Folks in the upstairs apartment have a new baby. Made an arrangement with the gym owner to store my sandbags there and let his circuit training class use them. The times I would use them coincide with the times the baby should be sleeping.
Thatās super kind.
In 1991 I was living in Pittsburgh. A neighbor was doing some work on his home. He dropped a bucket off a ladder and woke up our newborn. It was hot out and our window was open. The noise woke up our baby. You could hear him crying from a mile away.
The neighbor knocked on our door to apologize. I was so impressed by his kindness.
Iām sure your neighbor appreciates what your doing, even if they donāt know.
Nah, the wife and I bitch about them all the time - I call them Thunderfoot and Screechy - but no reason to take it out on a new arrival on the planet.
This sounds a little bit like a scientific documentary about visits to lost tribes. 
Thatās sorta the situation. I spend a lot of time alone in a thinky job and donāt go out much when Iām off, so itās like being in a foreign land to me.

No supersets tonight. No belt either. Everything moved fast.
Tweaked my back putting the 150 lb sandbag in the trunk. Picked and front walked it all the way out to the car in the parking lot no problem and twanged it doing a slight twist and throw into the trunk.
And then the gym was closed for Easter (duh, me).
Might be okay by tomorrow, but I doubt it. Hope they have a dolly at the gymā¦
I see these numbers on the rise, across all your training.
nice.
carrying odd objects has hurt me more then most stuff in the gym
Iāve actually taken a step back on the poundages trying to work speed and volume. I want to work back up to prior poundages, but at volume and with quickness.
Been two days on my back waiting for the muscles in my back to release.
I hate this, but itās my own fault. Iāve been doing everything out of the gym wrong: Not enough sleep, not enough food, not enough water, no mobility work on off days, etc, etc.
Stupid.
Hope you feel better.
I find a little over hydration with water and seltzer helps me a lot.
seltzer has been my go to for years
moving weight well for reps is better then loading up.
Im finding 3x5 is good progress for me to āownā a weight
Im a fool for pvc movement etc

Back has stopped spazzing.
Donāt think Iāve lost much from 6 days off lifting. Itās kinda like a deload and I havenāt taken more than 3 days off since last October anyway.
DLs tomorrow, but Iāll see how it feels as I warm up. Donāt want it spazzing again.
For only $3.50 I can get 1000 of the shittiest calories a human being can stomach.
A single decent steak costs me upwards of $10/lb.
Something is wrong here.
Where are you going with this?

Thatās all I had in me. Didnāt lose anything, but I had to work hard just to stay even with last time. Slight improvement in my CGBP setup and form, so got another set of 4 today.
Nowhere. You have some concern?
Sandbags dropped off at the gym, finally.
No concerns.
Just interested in what you were saying.
I often wonder if the ā quality ā of calories really matter.
Calories surplus weight gain. Deficit lose weight. Train with weights build muscle at caloric neutral or surplus.
High āquality ā calories usually leaves me with more satisfaction after eating. Steak vs. the Golden Arches ( which I like).
