^Just for the record, because it doesn't show the description in the embedded video, this is 220kg ( 485 lbs ) and his current category is -77kg. So even if he is around 85 now it is still 2.5*BW.

So which one of those pics is the real gf? 
And if it is the last one, what is entropy doing on top of her???
There's a class of those 'acrodynamics' at my gym, people there are quite passionate about it, and i must admit they all have some impressive physiques too!

So this season's training moto will be.... "quantity over quality" !!! 
Now as you all know this is an obvious lie from my side. There is no way i would compromise quality. What i really mean is that it is consistency i need to hit. I can AREG volume, intensity frequency etc without even writing them down. It is not the programming that holds me back, it is the consistency. I want to try and work out every single day i can. Not all weights, i want to substitute my off days with cardio/abs/stretching sessions. Also, most important, minimize the losses when work&life attacks. Try to save whatever i can. I am at a very good place now, somewhat strong, somewhat lean, definitely fresh. A great base to build on. If this works as planned i could achieve good things. No promises, but that's the plan.

Damn, wishes for a fast recovery man!
But maybe you are right, those injuries that don't put you off but just redirect you, sometimes they are blessings in a catastrophe disguise!

Reality check : this "big douche bag" that "shouldnt be in nba and be an orchard picker or something" has a near double double career average, between other awards and achievements was 2 times an all star and 2 times in NBA-all-defensive team and is on a 75 million contract earning 17.5 million dollars a year!

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Yes, it is super-hero-movies-catchup week.
This one is beast. It is not a captain america movie actually, it is more like Avengers 3.
Awesome visuals. Good plot, deviates from the typical superhero plot. Some good character development. Even some philosophical questioning. If something is bugging, it is the fact that Marvel decided to have her heroes fight each other at the same time that DC did the same. Look a few posts above, even the movie posters are the same. Marvel does it with much more grace/style/reasoning though.
Solid 8 , want to give more but 8.5 feels too much. Ok, 8.25. Really good movie!

Starting to adapt. 411kg ( ~900lbs ) increased tonnage. HR dropping under 150 now after the 2 minutes breaks. Pity there's no time for more, this is one killer program.
