Back in the gym and a PR on the first day.
 :personal-record: :personal-record::headbang:

I always had a problem doing squats, it was either the hips, the back I just could not mechanically do them until today.

my best squat PB was 70Kg in 2013 without pin, I failed at 80kg but today I managed 1 rep of 90kg parallel back squats on a pin. Legs were fried and failed at 100kg.

Squats were soo comfortable and no hip or back problem. Long term goal is 2xBW but main focus will be on box squats, the parallel back squats is for GPP.

I hope to go gym 1 day a week, then home explosive workout 1 day and speed work 1 to 2 times a week.

damn that's nuts lol. congrats! and i guess you don't need a normal frequency with them, so maybe take it slower and hit them once a week or once every 2 weeks etc. dno. that works well for some people believe it or not.

pc!

trying to get the physique to the next level! been doing tons of pullups/dips/pushups. pushups mostly to finish off the night.



i didnt mention it (& havent mentioned anything about the not-good stuff), but me and not-gf are done done as of 3 weeks ago. sux. really liked her when she wasn't lying/ghosting/acting weird af. blehh. been a weird/brutal 8 months unfortunately. will never understand it. in her words, "i reject good things". basically sums it up. looking to make this relationship stuff not an added stress, and just a cool great thing. fml.

on a good note, jordan kilganon dropped me a goat emoji, and met some really cool people & a really cool woman yesterday. yesterday was good.

You also seem to love nature so add this to the equation, climbing instead of boudlering would take it to a whole different level. I haven't ever climbed but i;ve done a lot of mountaineering and skiing and that feeling when you are on top of the mountain is one of the best ive ever felt.

awesome.

ya man ive never been on a mountain. only been out of florida once. as long as i could run/hike up the mountain, i'd be cool. just thinking about climbing now scares me, if bouldering on some wall w/ a big safety pad on the bottom is scary.. lol.

you're built for bouldering/climbing: long and lean. wouldn't surprise me in the least if it becomes your next training obsession. unless you're genuinely afraid of heights.

wasn't as good at it as i thought i would be. im def strong but, was a complete noob out there. and i guess i might be more afraid of heights than i thought, it factored in for sure.

can def say it won't be my next training obsession. but, i've wanted to do some climbing/gymnastic stuff at my house so.. i think i'd be into it on that level.

- run 33:41, 6.6 km

- stretch

emotional roller coaster of a week. my ex wrote to me completely out of the blue to see if i have any interest in starting a conversation that might lead to us getting back together. my brother came across the body of a young man who'd hung himself on the playground next to my brother's house. my friend sent a shit-ton of pictures from the kabul airport, where he spent the last week helping evacuate 1,000 people and leaving many more behind. i spent some time trying to help former colleagues find a us government employee to sponsor their P2 visas, and failing.

damn man.. each of those things by themselves are major.. all of that in 1 week :/
