HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 2021 leggo. 
2020-12-31
strong af.
w/o:
- throughout the day
a bunch of stuff .. highlight being:
- 3-5 sec dead hang pullups: BW x 12
- full dips: BW x 16
- very strong!
also, had an incredible NYE.
Built a floating fire pit with the (potential lol) gf. Turned out incredible. She truly is special. She had so many great ideas to get the floating fire pit to the finish line. So many folks who i've told about creating one, would laugh and cast doubt on it etc. She was amp'd up to try it. So we went all in on it and got it done.
Will post some photos and some video clips of it soon. Didn't take a ton of photos because we were just too busy having a great time. 6 hours by the fire, which was burning atop a thin layer just above water (the lake).
Oh and I made her the most insane "wild flower bouquet" (100% wild flowers). Looked next level. Beyond happy with how it turned out.. got me thinking about making more of them, and potentially growing more "wild flowers" on the farm, to create bouquets for other folks.
EPIC.

bit quick but that's okay.

went to doc today about my ear pain. she said it's not infected, but that i should use a different kind of ear drops than the ones i've been using to deal with wax buildup. apparently that stuff can irritate. anyway not all that satisfying. i mention it only because they took my blood pressure and it was 110/77, which is the lowest it's ever been since i was at least 19.
nice and..
that run life BP ?? lool. nice!

« on: December 23, 2020, 11:23:35 am »what happened with the woman whose number you got?
yo man!
Went great.. <3
I took her out to a local park (Riverbend park), which is absolutely beautiful, one of the best within hundreds of miles, and it's a few miles from my house. We ate some acai bowls by the water, then chilled/talked for a few hours, walking the trails. At the end before we left, I surprised her with some "wild flowers" I picked (from the farm hah). She really liked that.
She hit me up that night saying we should hang out again. We'll probably go out again Saturday :d
We seem "crazy compatible", it's kinda nuts.. lmao. She's significantly younger (24). She doesn't own a tv, reads instead. Writes poetry, loves nature, plays violin (apparently very well), teaches violin on the side, is pursuing carpentry, wants a dog, loves animals, loves spicy food, enjoys cooking, rollerblades, works out, believes in ufo's (like me.. lol), loves Florida, goes to the beach to stargaze, goes to shuttle launches, seems like she has alot of empathy/compassion, and more etc.
Not very often that I meet a woman like that. And by not very often, I mean I never have. lol. I don't put myself in positions to meet lots of women, but i've always loved the idea of finding someone like that "organically" - just out of nowhere.
Aside from attraction, easily the most comfortable conversation(s) i've ever had with a woman. She's just so positive & interesting, it's refreshing. I mean it was only one "date" (and like 4 separate conversations), but could very well be gf status in the near future.
Very interested to see where it goes.
Thanks for asking!
(Love this post.. That's what this whole "farm life" journey is about for me: nature, positivity etc. Having a good women in that picture would be awesome)

« on: December 23, 2020, 12:12:56 am »Hello
I'm getting back into vert training. I still have a desire to dunk. I came so close before and have always felt like I have unfinished business. I want to start journaling here to help keep me on track. I browsed through this a couple of weeks ago to see what I was doing before that worked.
My vert sucks right now. I'd guess it to about 29". Over the last few weeks I've only grazed the rim a couple of times but am consistently within an inch of touching it.
I started squatting again within the last two months and have had a huge increase in appetite from it which has led to me gaining almost 10lbs. I think the weight gain has kept my vert stagnant despite the increase in strength.
Yesterday's workout:
jog warmup
dynamic stretching
short sprint at 50%
tuck jumps 2x10
pogos 2x12
4 rvj's with two sets of depth drops in between. I did a set of 3 then a set of 5 off of maybe a 20" box. First time doing anything off the box.
front squat 3x5 with 165lbs but only got 4 on the last set
I've been going back and forth between back squat and front squat.
My last back squat workout was 195 for 3x5 so I think my max is now approaching 1.5xbw. I'm currently weighing low 150's
Finished with two sets of single leg hamstrings curls on a machine.
Side note: I found a video of me jumping about 36" from 4.5 years ago. I think all I was doing was squatting and hang snatches and some yoga if I remember correctly. Unfortunately hang snatches aren't an option for me at the moment with my current gym setup but they seemed to work well for me.
cool man! hope all is good, been a while.
