Worked out at my friends gym. Of course it means I PR in my bench press. I've done 250x5 before which is more impressive imo, but that's a 7 rep PR today. I'm pretty damn sure the weights at his gym are a tad bit lighter. It's a NYSC. I ALWAYS bench and squat better there than anywhere else.

Still sick, de-loaded.

Even sicker today (tuesday). Will de-load again.

Going to the doctor again for my knee. I alread went to a walk in clinic 1-2 weeks ago and got xrays. in and out in 20min. no bone issues. all i had was a probably slight meniscus tear which is why i had some knee effusion. caused by what, we don't know.

They referred me to a few sports docs... but since I'm HMO i can only take a referral from my PCP. so im seeing my PCP today and then going to a sports doc. hate this process. 1-2 weeks ago i called up and couldnt find an appointment until today. and when i go today, i'll be on time but ill prob be waiting for an extra half hour, then another 15min for the nurse, and then another 20 for the actual PCP to check me out. what a waste. walk in clinics are the shit, on the other hand. City MD is where i went.

hopefully my insurance will cover all of whatever physical therapy i may be assigned. in either case, i'll be picking apart their brains to learn for myself!

Kind of a de-load today. Lifted before breaking my fast so i took it slightly easier.

Starting studying for my next cert today: ITILv3 Foundations. Should get it in 2-3 weeks. Apparently it's pretty damn easy and mostly logic and vocab based. Good, because I hate how the CompTIA exams are worded.

materials:
Videos here - https://www.cybrary.it/course/itil/
Review questions here - https://quizlet.com/144233557/itil-foundations-review-flash-cards/
Practice test here - https://quizlet.com/144233075/itil-practice-questions-1-flash-cards/

It's only about 3 hours of total video. I think I'll finish all of that this weekend. Over 300 review questions... maybe I'll memorize about 40 a day. After that's memorized, I'll see what I score on the practice test. The real test needs a 65% or better, so if I get around an 80% on the practice test I'll sit for the real one.

In addition, I've been getting frantic applying to jobs and internships. Hit up a lot of people I know (9 or 10) that are currently working or not working, and sent them my resume. They'll ask their companies for a position, and they'll also ask other people they know for me. Let's see what happens.

Hmm... My movement efficiency is absolutely terrible going RL. Im very uncoordinated when i do it, but i get up higher than i feel i should be. Makes me think i can match my LR jump height if i practice it enough.

It doesnt turn into a jumpstop for me at all, though who knows, that might change as i get better at it. Also that reminds me i have to experiment with hopping into an LR plant. Ive done it a few times in the past and it worked really well.

Still not jumping for around a month though. This monday i should be able to squat again. Probably dropped to a 365 max lol. My knee is feeling a lot better.

how is it that we look so good in car window reflections dammit

 

wat.

i knew i wasnt the only one:




I'm kinda cut right now, but the way i look in a car window reflection is absurd. like a bodybuilder or something. just a let down when you see yourself in a normal mirror lol
