Are you just commando or do they have something inside that feels like you have underwear on?

place looks tight, what are you gonna do down there?

i was talking with my work wife last week again about starting our own consulting business. probably 4+ years out from being able to make a run at that (i've got my two years in pakistan coming up and then if the consulting thing is looking appealing i'd want to do a master's first to get some training in stats and econometrics -- probably princeton because it's free). it would open me up so much in terms of where to live. i'm envious of people whose jobs aren't geographically tethered. in my industry you're either in a poor country or you're in one of a few really expensive cities: geneva, london, NYC, DC. there are a few exceptions, but emphasis on "few."

that is, unless you set up shop for yourself. then you just need to be close-ish to an international airport and you can live wherever. it'd be fun to live in santa barbara, or istanbul, or barcelona, or savannah, or minneapolis.

sorry for the tangent, just something that's been on my mind.

I work in a family business (life insurance consulting- very exciting) which I am going to buy from my Dad in the next  18 months to 2 years. This is the catalyst for my move as I cannot move the company prior to taking over.  That’s all agreed and set in stone so it’s just a matter of time. The issue is that, although a lot of my work can be done via electronic means, I still need client facing meetings which would mean at least a couple of days a week of serious driving (2-3 hours each way). It’s something I’m happy to do for the potential lifestyle benefits though.

Your work sounds fascinating though and the ability to live wherever you want would be brilliant. Looks like you’ve got a fair bit of planning ahead of you before you get there but it’s pretty exciting to start thinking about that kind of future. We’re the same now that we’re planning for our future with our kids and looking at the environment we can provide for them to grow up in.  This is where we will be living once we move down there. There’s a few kms of coast line that is lined with surf beaches and has numerous running/hiking tracks along it. It’s only 5k from the town centre too.

- warm up

- MB OH toss x 5,5

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- squat MEBM 185 x 25

- superset
-- pull up x 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1
-- dip x 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1

- shrug 70s x 15

- stretch

decent workout. feel kind of beat up, though.

also, the chick wanted to watch the debate so we rescheduled for tomorrow, lol.

 
That change in mindset really seemed to help you very quickly. Congrats on this PR!

Had this "mental barrier" today with my squats... even before completing the sets I knew that I'm not gonna be able to hit the amount of weight & reps I wanted to and this definitely subconsciously affected my effort during those sets. Need to change this!
