you should get this:  :lololol:

i love having tattoos but i'm glad i waited so long to start getting them (was 29 when i got my first one). i think i'll go in for my third once covid calms down here. thought about getting it in london but the thing i want to get is super tied to where i grew up so seems more appropriate to get it done here.

What was your first one and what are you planning to get?

first one is on the inside of my left bicep: a representation of the folds in a paper airplane i learned to make in preschool. looks like an origami diagram, but rectangular. it's a reminder to play and be imaginative and open-minded, and to revere good teachers like the guy who taught me that particular way of making airplanes. second one is on my left ankle: five interlocking circles (around one axis, not like the olympic rings), which my brother and parents all got after my youngest brother died a couple years ago. it commemorates him and the fact that our family of five is no longer intact except in ourselves. both pretty simple geometric designs.

the third is going to be a cross-section of the bedrock underneath the neighborhood where i grew up and am sitting right now. it'll be based on one i found by the maryland geological survey, just grayscale/fine-line rather than colored.* only thing that's holding me back right now, other than covid, is deciding where to put it. it's between wrapping it around my right thigh, right-side ribs, or right bicep/forearm.

Yeah my body isn't used to doing ohp workouts so frequently but going 10 days between ohp or bp is not good for progress, but in the meantime i'll need to adapt to more frequent upper training.

That's very cool. Sounds like there's a ton of meaning in each of your tattoos.

BP 7x7x70 (PR; failed last rep though)

Notes:
I found 60kg bench warmups not easy, so i thought today was going to be another writeoff but somehow i managed 6 sets of 7. On the 7th set, i failed the 7th rep. Gutted. That would have been a lifetime PR. i mean it still is, but it would have been a proper one. So i think 8x8x70kg is ways away yet. Not sure what to attempt next time?

suprisingly, got whole body doms from that bench session, i didn't do anything else (for a while too) and today my right hamstring is still tender (cramped on the last rep), glutes, abs, and ofc shoulders, chest etc.

I reviewed video which i took of the last set and i noticed my lower body is kinda shaky. will try to get that down next time. enjoying training again, upper body will prob give me the best returns, in life terms, i wish i had done it earlier, i might look like i lift sooner. can't wait to get big!

wonder how long it will take to recover, hopefullly not as long as last time, but that itme i was doind daily training and i dont think that's as effective for upper body.

Stepped on the scales at home before showering today and it read 81.8kg. Gym weight with shoes, clothes, 2 meals is consistently around 85-85.5kg.

Have been carb cycling, where around the bench workout day, i ramp the carbs up the day or two before, and keep it up for a few days after, then taper off carbs til the next bench day (~10 days later). The idea is to eat enough carbs around bench to allow progress but the rest of the time i'm leaning out. On paper it should work, in reality it shouldn't, but let's see.

Need to mentally dial it in to go for the bench day, thinking weds, going to try for 8 sets of 7 with 70kg, since 8x8x70kg is too big a leap from last time's 7x7x70kg (with failed last rep).

Notes:
Finally a legit honest to goodness, lifetime bench PR, no failed reps. That last rep was a max effort, i had to yell to get it up, sorry to the ppl around me but it had to be done! Next time i'll go for sets of 9 reps. Cycle goal is 5 sets of 10, then i can add weight.
