ACHES/INJURIES: waiting for right fingernail to fall off; right knee a tiny bit; whole body felt weak
SORENESS: soleus
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- squat 110 x 8
wondered why it felt so light, facepalmed, put 120 on, couldn't even do one rep

- bench 72.5 x 2
nnnnope. weak.

chalking this up to not enough calories today. diet today was bad, diet in general has been bad on workout days. partly this is attributable to work being crazy but that's a weak excuse. need to get diet and sleep back on track.

this is turning into kind of a lost week workout-wise. tuesday was a washout, then felt sick last night and had a work dinner that bumped a different work dinner to tonight, and friday evening i'll probably have my visiting colleagues over for drinks. earliest i can get to the gym is saturday.

dno, valid excuse. wrecked sleep is a real killer.

just need to get it back on track for a while then you'll be back on rhythm. At some point soon, you'll just get pissed and focus more on it. ;d

ACHES/INJURIES: waiting for right fingernail to fall off
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- squat 120 x 8,8,5
could have gotten to 8 on the last set but not without grinding a bit. not worth it.

- bench 72.5 x 8,8,5
had more but the pins are at such awkward heights that i didn't want to push it without a spotter for fear of not being able to rack the bar properly.

- pull up +4 x 8,6,4
smh

- superset x 2
-- hyper +10 x 10
-- hyper crunch +10 x 10
i need to bring straps and go back to TTB

- kroc row 32 x 16L; 20R
the gym doesn't seem to have 34s, which is lame.

- cable tricep pressdown 80 x 12+3+3+3

- DB curl 10s x 10+3+3

- stretch

fantastic workout, feel awesome, no pain, not even mad that i missed badly on the third sets of squats and bench and that my pull ups are weak af. squat sets of 8 are a lot, once i get to maybe 125 or 130 i'll probably drop to sets of 5 and keep pushing the weight that way. not like i need/want my legs to be bigger anyway.

eeek! i've never had a fingernail fall off, toenails yes. I imagine fingernail is more painful? fingernails seem more sensitive.

big toe ingrown toenail was some serious pain though.

nice, good session.

this reminded me, I wanted to do a few sets of pullups/pushups today in session #1.

the injury hurt so much when it happened that i felt nauseated and lightheaded. there are a LOT of nerves in the tips of your fingers. it hurt for a couple of weeks and then stopped. the nail is about 4/5 off now. not going to hurry it along, just keep it under a bandaid most of the time so it doesn't get caught on anything and be patient.

when i lost my big toenail when i was in high school it grew back through the skin and got badly infected, had to have surgery. but that didn't hurt as much as this one did.

unrelated: i got food poisoning last night. food poisoning suuuuucks. and it sucks to wake up and feel hungover despite having not drunk anything.

Did the nail grow into the skin on the tip of the toe? I've lost both my big toenails in the last 4 months and both of them are growing like that. I figured it would be the sort of problem that just kind of resolves itself but maybe I need to see a specialist

LBSS · « **Reply #4013 on:** January 31, 2017, 08:06:58 am »

it grew through the skin on either side of the nail bed and then through the skin at the tip. my toe was gnarly, if yours seem like they're healing fine then i wouldn't worry about it.

also, three days on i'm still feeling the effects from the bad chicken i ate (assuming that's what it was, seems the likeliest candidate). feel better now than this morning -- at least i'm not nauseated and heartburny -- but still minimal appetite and kind of weak. no workout tonight, here's hoping i feel better tomorrow.

Ya i remember you had to get surgery for that toe issue, that's nuts.

Sometimes I think about how many times I would have died, if I were alive thousands of years ago. Arm breaks would have gotten me each time, same with strep throat probably. Big toe issue might have been your undoing. crazy.

ACHES/INJURIES: waiting for right fingernail to fall off, last remnants of food poisoning
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- ME SVJ x 3

- SL SVJ x 3/leg

- squat 140 x 1; 145 x 1
145 was a wee bit grindy but ultimately not hard. no psych up.

- superset
-- pull up x 8,5
-- hyper +10 x 15
-- TTB x 5
weak

- stretch

took it super easy on myself given first day back from frustratingly prolonged food poisoning episode. 145 is eh, was harder than it should have been. OTOH weighed myself after and was ~75 (scale not super precise). so pretty near twice bodyweight after being sick and without squatting heavy in at least four months. on the third hand, man one of these days i'm actually going to go all in on my squat and get to four plates like a big boy.

Make sure you do that when you are back home, so you also break the 400lbs milestone, 4 20kg plates is a tiny bit under 400.

my gym actually has 25kg plates so i could make it a REALLY strong four-plate squat if i did it here.

maxent · « **Reply #4018 on:** February 02, 2017, 09:20:35 am »

25kg plates are the bomb. I have a pair. I wish i had another pair then i could go from empty bar to 70kg to 120kg. I think making 110kg my baseline has been beneficial, i can pretty much squat htat any day time cos it's become a warmup. I think if i had another pair id be able to do that for 120kg.

Hard to call it a breakup because we weren't really dating but the chick I've been seeing broke things off last night because, long story short, she's not over her ex. That's probably good in the long run, but at the moment it sucks.

1. being rejected is shitty
2. being rejected in favor of another dude she also rejected but still has feelings for is shittier
3. being rejected after making it clear that the only red line was that she be working on getting over the other dude, her agreeing to that, then getting all weird a few days ago and lying about why even when i asked point-blank about it, sleeping with her a couple of times but not having sex because of said weirdness -- is even shittier

Texted with my friend about it this morning (her night, she's in DC), and she pointed out that it's not personal, for her (the girl here) it's about herself and her feelings for this other guy and the fact that she likes me -- which she does -- is in the background. Also that if the girl is dealing with internal shit then it's way better to have a clean break than be ambiguous about shit. That's true, but still feeling hurt/pissed.

I'll get over it, just feeling a little bit emo today.

ETA: After cooling down a bit, and FB messaging with the chick, I had an epiphany. Namely, that I have been taking our relationship way too seriously. She's leaving the country for good in May, it's not like we have a future together. And she's cool and hot and fun in bed and she likes me and wants to have sex with me, too. Would be dumb to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Sure, it would be weird if she invites her ex to Pakistan for a week or goes back to Bahrain to sleep with him for a week. But if I'm also not monogamous with her then it'd be less weird. Letting my internal expectations/status-meter get way ahead of where we decided to be at -- and we'd talked about it several times -- was not good. Didn't quite realize how far ahead I'd gotten until she hit me with the "I'm not ready to be done romantically with ex" yesterday.

Still need a bit of time to get over the shock of having my quasi-unacknowledged feelings scrambled. Not gonna rush back into bed with her, even though she expressly told me her door's open. But I think getting over it can, if I want it to, mean that we're FWB. I think that'd be cool.
