Low motivation atm.

Exercise Bike-
150 calories.

Squat-
60x5
90x5x3

Not doing much. Achilles has gotten better. Not getting out of bed sore everyday, which is good. Sometimes just the little things like walking around pain free are blessings.

Steelers were too strong. Panthers D was terrible.

CMC had a great game with 3 TD, 77 yards rushing, 61 yards receiving.

these highlights are crazy.. looks like a movie. what a game.

Epic game! When the Saints had 35 points in the 1st half I thought it was GG. But the Rams came back and when Cooper Kupp scored that 70 yard touchdown to level the game I was on the edge of my seat. Kamara is a beast- 3 TD. Thomas was on fire for the Saints as well he dominated that highlights package. #SAINTS

some respect? he straight-up admitted to having sex with an incapacitated woman without her consent or even any reason to think she might consent under other circumstances. the fact that he doesn't seem to understand what he did doesn't absolve him or make it any better, it just means he's a fucking idiot in addition to being a rapist.

There's 3 sides to every story. His side, her side and the truth.

https://mic.com/articles/156587/everything-we-know-about-the-derrick-rose-rape-trial-so-far#.gD2gYROAN

From his side she's a gold digger and from her side he's a rapist. She previously dated Rose and they were exchanging texts until 2:09am of the night in question until he turned up. Hours before that she was literally at his house sucking his dick. She says they broke in but she says she can't remember sending text messages. For all we know she let them in...

derrick rose and two buddies broke into a drunk woman's house and gang raped her.

LBSS aka never4get. :highfive:

you know what's nuts, i hadn't even heard of those allegations at all until now (after searching what you mentioned). crazy.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/nov/02/no-derrick-rose-didnt-overcome-his-gang-allegation

god damn.

I lost some respect for Derrick Rose after reading that transcript. I'm not saying he's a rapist but he didn't articulate himself very well!

smart move on resting this week. let the achilles recover and hopefully adapt/get stronger.

sucks about the shoes too. also hate when i make a shoe mistake. you ordered them online i imagine?

tighten up that diet, but make sure you still get enough calories/nutrients to recover.

pc!

I used to buy all my shoes online when the Australian dollar bought $1.10 US. However, the exchange rate has fallen so now $1 Australian dollar is only worth $0.72 US. Add in shipping costs and there's no longer an advantage of purchasing shoes online.

I bought the shoes in store. I got mesmorised first by the basketball shoes but then had to remind myself that I was avoiding them. I barely looked at the trainers coz none caught my eye and I saw the Nike Mercurial indoor football shoes and thought they would make a neat looking casual shoe and would be easier on the achilles compared to basketball shoes. I think I thought wrong haha.

On training days I'll eat a surplus but for all other days (which is a lot lately) I'll be sticking to a caloric deficit.

Soreness-
Achilles.

I'm just resting this week. I want to lose 15kg (33lbs) and just get lean again. I've just been focussing on eating healthily because you don't need to be fit to diet. Hopefully I'll recover soon.

PS- I made a mistake with my shoe purchase. I shoud've just bought some plain Nike trainers instead of being seduced by the looks of the indoor football boots, which are tight as fuck. I already wore them so I can't get a refund. I'll still use them for the gym though.

Yes, he was a great player. I lived in NM when he was dropped/retired, and it was a pretty big deal at the club (I went to the public gym/rec centre at their Arden st facility).

Also, this always cracks me up:

(5'8)

When I first started watching AFL I thought he was the little brother of Robert Harvey- this was at Robert Harvey's peak in the late 90's where he'd get 35 touches a game and was considered an elite player and I always thought 'Gee his little brother is a great player as well but doesn't get too many mentions from the commentators'. It wasn't until a few years later when I worked out that they weren't related. Boomer's little brother was Shane Harvey.

I miss Dreyth!!!

Hope you're doing well and update us on your progress / career soon.

Still around

I dont take weights as seriously anymore. Lately my body has somehow been letting go and ive been stalling. Knees are still kinda messed up from that injury a few years ago. Squatting 275x5 now. Would like to just get to 315x5 and maintain that at least. Hit like a 455x6 RDL or something like that a year ago, and then i stalled and regressed again :/ story of my life

My legs are way smaller than before even if my upper body isnt. I noticed my face is fatter! I guess the big muscular legs lowered my bf% to the point where it even had an effect on my face! I hate having a soft face, and i justttt came across a pic of how ripped i used to be a few years ago and now inwant that back. I actually just came to this site now to see what my numbers were in march 2015 because i had a decent body then and chiseled face. And by chance you guys left me a comment here haha

Lifes been good. Never better actually. Praying 5x/day now in fact. No more partying, much more respect for my parents, never ever have anxiety or depression anymore, my irritability is gone, patience is through the roof, i dont care at all who’s ahead of me in the corporate world at all i just care about myself. I cant believe what a difference *actually practicing* my religion has made on me. Wish i started sooner. I had no clue what i was missing out on. Such tranquility in my heart. Still working for deloitte cyber security consulting. Stilll trying to make moving to Macedonia a reality. Really want a wife. And to be extra ripped again (by my standards - i still look great compared to the average population)

It's harder to take gym/sport seriously when you're working full time but I'm really happy that you got your dream job doing cyber security at deloitte after all those years studying!

I'm pretty much in the same boat body and strength wise. I was at my leanest when I was doing a factory job before I started working professionally 5 years ago.  I made some good strength gains (PR bench & squat) at the beginning of the year before I had an injury plagued rugby league season, which shattered my training and motivation. You've been at that state before so if you get your motivation back and can be willing to diet you'll get your leanness back.

Awesome that you're in a great state mentally. Thanks for the update. It was weird how you started thinking of your training at around the same time I posted in your journal- telepathic communication haha.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000979955/article/adam-thielen-records-eighth-straight-100yard-game

that's a crazy reception, so nuts.



Quote
Catches like this is how Adam Thielen ties Calvin Johnson’s record for 8 consecutive 100-yard games receiving! He ran a 4.45 40 yard. How did Thielen not get drafted!???

how did brady not get drafted until like the 6th round? ;f

some people just play up to their competition. some also take it very personal that they get overlooked, and they are just so obsessive that they outwork everyone and hit another level. that's what i see anyway ;d

Great way of putting it.

Most athletes either have 2 reactions from failure.
1. Motivation
2. Fall by the wayside

The majority take the 2nd option- I know I have.

Absolute gun AFL player and ended up setting the AFL record as most games played. Harvey had elite skill and he could win the footy in the back-half and run away from just about anyone, bouncing it all the way. Despite being an U18 All-Australian, a premiership player with the Northern Knights, winning the best on-ground in the TAC Cup Grand Final and testing well at the draft camp Harvey almost didn't get drafted. Most recruiters overlooked him as being too short (5'8) and too small to be able to play AFL. However, his explosive speed and supreme skill saw him getting drafted as a late pick and within a few years he went onto become a Premiership player as well as picking up numerous individual achievements.

Harvey used his size as a chip on his shoulder and constant motivation. He used the disappointments from being overlooked for junior rep teams and even taunted by rival players about his size as constant motivation and to never get complacent. Harvey's younger brother also played in the AFL (albeit a much less successful career) and Harvey said his little brother was a much more talented player then him and just as athletic, if not moreso. However, his brother lacked the motivation and professionalism to be an AFL players so within a couple of years the league had churned him up.

Good read, particularly for AFL fans.
