My brain is not working anymore. I think my IQ is under 100 for sure, right now. In fact, I don't think it would be quantifiable in any way. If I were to take a psychological test right now I would fail it.

I know people take words on the screen lightly, but trust me, this is authentic.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

You may be having a psychotic episode.  It would be best to see a mental health specialist right now.  That you can recognize this is important.  Your IQ is probably not much lower than normal for you because even during psychosis smart people are still smart about most things but it can seem like that and be very frustrating to not have the clarity you are used to - it would be best to see someone.

look on the bright side.. if your IQ dips to ~40, you'd be considered a genius as far as dogs go.. and dogs are happy as fuck.

Waste of time and money. Doctors are for nothing, they don't actually help you. They just talk and do nothing, and take your money. #fact #truth #reality

Always refreshing to spend your life dedicated to helping people, take out loans forever, forego income, struggle through years of school/residency/fellowship and then be told that your career is a useless waste and that your in it for the money.  Why not go one further and bring up the conspiracy theory that the medical community and big pharma are in league together to hide the cure for cancer and keep you sick to keep selling medicine...  Why is it that we have learned that a bad experience with someone of one race is not grounds to discriminate against others of the same culture but can't show the same intelligence when it comes to a career choice?

That has been my experience with doctors in 31 years. A waste of time and money, while at the same time getting either nonsense advice/"advice" that anybody with no medical studies could come up with.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg

T0ddday, get in the line, we've been trying to persuade him to get professional help for ages. Huge props for taking on raptor and entropy at the same day though, lol.
Raptor, if i interpret what you are saying correct, it is not the science of psychiatry that you dismiss, but the intention of local doctors to apply it morally/thoughtfully? I'll take your word for it. You still have 2 options. A) Search from everyone you know to find someone worthy, there must be ONE psychiatrist in Romania that works right. B) Search for online services. Not Romanian, international. Even free. Maybe better free, volunteers will show much higher dedication/pure intentions at helping. Now if i got you wrong and it is not the local doctors but you dismiss the whole science of psychiatry, while at the same time you can't stop spamming/bragging about how much you value science and scientific education and taking all those neuroscience's courses, well, then, fuck off!  :-*



7 May 2016

Bodyweight@session : ~85,5kg
Soreness : chest, quads, traps, abs
Injuries/aches : left foot ball

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #3
Gym day #2

PUSH PRESS:
5@20kg
5@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
3@50kg
3@50kg
-Nice, very good power.

DEADLIFT:
8@50kg
6@70kg
4@90kg
2@110kg
1@130kg
RDL 2*10@80kg
-RDL volume-back-off shows how much a near-max single DL takes out of you. 10@80kg was hard, i can do 10@100kg easy when fresh.

DIPS:
7@BW
6@BW
6@BW
PUSH-UPS to failure: 18
Added pushups finisher since i am not strong enough to get some considerable volume in dips.

CHEST SUPPORTED HORIZONTAL ROWS MACHINE:
12@40kg
12@40kg
12@40kg
-Decided to add some back accessory. Chose machine instead of DB/BB rows, as i have repeatedly failed controlling the form-vs-weight ratio at the latter.

STANDING CALF RAISES MACHINE:
15@BW+70kg
15@BW+70kg
15@BW+70kg

Stretching : Did a couple of quads and hamstring sets. Barely qualifies as a stretching session but it's a start.

Left ball foot wrecked. No idea what it was. The kind of pain you get from 'hard impact'. I would guess it was the SLRVJs.
Quads still and always off. Gotta learn to live with it. Don't really care too, sprints and power stuff ( HPC/PP ) feel great. Hoping stretching will help. Otherwise i might consider taking squats off for a while, work with BSS & idk, leg press?
« Last Edit: May 08, 2016, 07:26:57 am by vag »
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Once my sister went to the doctor because her period was missing in the last few months. The doctor's reply? "Oh well, good riddance! It's better not to have one".

Like Vag pointed out - you are a true contradiction...  You claim to love science and physics and be very intelligent but you base your beliefs on anecdotes and personal experience...  How does that make you different than the Trump supporters you disagree with?  Then you post it online like its the gospel truth with hashtags like reality...  I mean the only Romanian I ever learned about in school was that dictator guy who was executed with his wife - didn't let it convince me that Romanians are bloodthirsty idiots though.  Medicine has its problems - especially in this country.   But if your sick there is still nothing better than it - not alternative medicine, not complaining about how doctors suck, none of that.

I've had enough personal experiences and stories from other people to convince me. Doctors are fucking retards. They brag about their medical school like it's some sort of nuclear bomb of intellectual achievement, yet they say the most retarded truisms and completely obnoxious opinions, and most of them I don't think have a soul in their body.

NONE has ever helped me in my life. If I go to the doctor I expect to get worse - to get an infection, to lose money, something bad to happen. You wait for 2 hours at their doors to see them take a break and not care at all about the appointment hour/schedule, they let in people that are "connected" (know the doctor/know the right "people") and so on and so forth. Some guy waited 2 hours to get a paper, lel, and was rushed out in ~30 seconds. Their education and behavior is crazy. You go there expecting someone with so many years of medical school to say something intelligent, and they come up with retarded answers that a 3 years old could come up with.

Science is great, when applied correctly. Here a lot of "doctors" believe in "alternative medicine" and "homeopathy" and "new germanic medicine" and shit like that. Insanity.

All the good doctors left in Western Europe for good salaries, and we've been left with idiots.

Fair enough.  While I think your post is a bit hyperbolic I do not know Romania like you; your experience may be indicative of the situation there.  Where my dad is from medicine is in the dark ages, I'm surprised to hear it's similar in an EU country but then I am no expert.  Maybe the EU brain drain you mention to Western Europe is the problem.  So, I stand corrected... Somewhat. 

You should realize this is an international message board and qualify your posts if they are specifically local... I've learned to do this, for example I didn't understand why Vag can't do hip thrusts but I took his word that in Greece it's considered weird and don't recommend them anymore... I told acole to just buy this weight vest on Amazon without remembering the hundreds of dollars it would cost to ship to Australia.  Sorry about the state of medicine in Romania... There may be yet 1 good doctor in the country so don't give up, then again if it's 1 in 1000 I don't blame you if you do.

They are being paid very badly so... very few quality people get to be doctors and the old ones are very obsolete and know what they learned during communism.

The thing that bothers me the most is that 1) they all want bribes and 2) they don't "care" about you.

If I were a doctor, I would treat each one of my patients' issues very, very seriously, I would literally care about them, not treat them like I'm a machine with no feelings whatsoever, with the "whatever" attitude. That's not a person I want to talk to, let alone a "doctor".

A "doctor" need to impose respect, needs to be an intellectual through his attitude, his demeanor, his natural ability and inclination to help others, inside him. Not a robot that went to medical school just because his parents said so. A doctor needs to be someone special.
