-= Study Log =-

Textbook #1
Finished chapter 1 of 21
Finished chapter 2 of 21

Review Questions
Chapter 1 (44 cards)
Chapter 2 (34 cards)

Real Test Questions
Learned 20 cards (20/2,300)

Plan to finish chapter 2 today as well.  Making review questions for myself at the end of every chapter. I review these continuosly every day based on spaced repetition. Also learning real test questions from a selection of over 2k. I plan to learn over 2k over the next 70 days. I'll be ramping up the number on cards learned per day from 20 to 50+ after i finish the textbook.

Review questions on chapters only include things I wasn't already comfortable with already. Some of it seems obvious, like the question "what is data privacy?" But it's not so obvious if you knew that there are also the concepts of data concealment, seclusion, confidentiality, in addition to privacy... it's more because I don't know how to specifically differentiate between them.

I will also start writing down how many of the test questions I get correct on first try as I'm learning them. It'll be nice to see an upward trend as I learn more from the textbook. Passing on the real exam is 70%. Hopefully I'll be getting consistent 85% and up on these after I finish the textbook.

Another de-load. Feeling overworked right now and behind on sleep. Gotta read a chapter tonight. I'm typing this at 11:20pm, going to read for about an hour, and wake up at 6:40 for physical therapy :/

Will have a crazy busy weekend too. Can't wait for next week to get here so I can relax and study properly.

My squat form changed. Now that my quads have gotten weaker, my glutes got relatively stronger. In addition, I've been doing lots of glute activation work plus lunges. So that increases the strength ratio of glutes:quads even more.

End result: i naturally squat with a wider stance, with knees way out as well. Can go full ATG this way with zero pain in knee! I've wanted to become glute dominant for a while now but never really put work for it, so at least now I'm forced to.

Had a really tough day and just couldn't bring myself to lift more.

503
In a way, it might be the other way around, since you use more weight - there's a bigger chance that one of the smaller muscles gets overwhelmed and messes up your form/compromises stability.

My train of thought was more weight = quicker gains, like in deadlifting. Or compare benching to shoulder pressing.

504
^ definitely get some footage!

failed my ITIL-Foundation cert exam this morning by a single question

 :uhhhfacepalm:

if i had finished watching the last 40min video of studying for the exam, i would have passed. or if i just checked over my questions, i probably would have passed. the exam seemed very easy. i knew i got several things wrong, but thought i had more than enough correct answers to just continue (passing = 65%, or 26/40 questions)

ah whatever, taking it again tuesday morning. just annoyed that i spent $223 to learn a lesson about not taking exams so lightly. also annoyed because i wanted to get a head start on my CISSP studying this weekend. instead i have to study ITIL-Foundatino more

De loaded. Didn't do legs, I'll do them lightly tomorrow. Lower back feels pulled, legs are achy and everything.

adarqui, did you find that your half squat progressed faster than your deep squats ever do?

i mean after your initial burst of CNS gains in the half squat, of course.
