that was it tonight, had office holiday party. better than nothing, glad i forced myself to the gym instead of doing the pre-party happy hour with coworkers.

i need to do a cut.

the rest of you fuckers, the next time you think you're going through tough times, read back a few pages in seifullaah's journal. bro went through some crazy shit.

glad you're cleared, man, but sorry about your dad. good luck.

there is a vast, oceanic difference between calling someone a scumbag and calling someone a cunt. sorry she was making you uncomfortable, but degrading her and 50% of the people on earth is a gross response.

didnt know calling someone a cunt was such a serious thing (though i was born and raised in USA, english is my second language and i actually never heard someone call someone else a cunt so i never really learned much about the word)

what if a girl calls you a dick or a prick?

it's sexist to use, as a slur, a rude slang word for part of a woman's body. the same is not true of calling someone a dick because men are not oppressed in the way, or to the extent, that women are. if i call you a dick there is a chance that i am being, uh, a dick. but i'm not using a word that is insulting precisely because it implies that you're part of a group of people that our society does not value as highly as the other part of it. using a word like that as an insult (pussy, nigger, faggot, retard, you know the roll call) reinforces the oppression of the group that's separated by that word. in the case of cunt, the group you're helping oppress is women.

here's another explanation, from the bowels of the internet:

All these words are gendered insults, but they have different meanings and intentions. Whereas “cunt” demeans the person because of its association with women, “asshole” and “dick” are normal insults because being a man is normal. ... Gendered insults perpetuate sexism because a male-based insult is the same as a “normal,” non-gendered insult, and a female-based insult is used to make the receiver of the insult a lower-class citizen.

to my squat bro.. stop it with the over thinking and come back to the drawing table after you get to 2.2-2.4BW.. thats where all the good things happens.  goodluck

lol kf you're like the devil on my shoulder. some part of me wants to drink milkshakes all day and squat 500 at 195. 

glad this has sparked some interesting discussion, and i under-contextualized T0ddday's advice. it was, like he said, reflective of the fact that i'm close as hell to being able to jump high enough (and have been for some time) and trying to peak above and beyond what i do week-to-week is worth considering. he's right that limit strength is gained and lost slowly, and i'm not afraid of my squat going down -- it's done that before when i've been injured and getting back up near 2x bw is not especially difficult for me. i've got short, big legs, i'm pretty well set up to be a decent squatter.

also, adarq, i am not ready for verkhoshansky-style shock. a 30" depth jump is too much for my body, even 24" is pushing it. doing 2x10 is not happening, let alone multiple times per week.

saturday was an attempt to see how i would handle doing a lot more jumping volume than i'm used to. the answer is: meh. but that's not surprising, given how comparatively little emphasis i've given to that stuff.

incidentally, i can do pistols all day if i'm wearing oly shoes or have my heel elevated a little. or if i'm holding a light DB in front of myself. they are not hard for me. biomechanics: we are all different!

congrats on finally showing the old geezer who's boss. 

1. shoot around, mixing in layups
2. gradually increase intensity of layups, sets of 4-8 continuous, alternating legs, rest = three made FTs
3. joint circles, stretch hip flexors
4. SVJ x 1-2
5. work out T0ddday-method-style
6. ME DLRVJ x 8-12, ~60s between reps
7. fin.
