isn't it amazing how men can be preoccupied with the same dumb shit their entire lives
spouting the same platitudes
i guess they're focused on something
which isn't necessarily good to me
like
THINK
about different things
and differently
which is to say
these types of people
probably do develop in their thinking
and think differently about their sole focus e.g. lifting, business, etc.
maybe it's their focus then that upsets me
lack of a "global perspective" that I assume

Oh also meant to give u the book understanding patriarchy by bell hooks but it slipped my mind
Indeed
U just made me think of a couple things u might not hate
would love to further investigate the cultural/philosophical relationships between valvasa, powerlifting, etc. as opposed to chinese/natural ideas on training
as long as it could be grounded in real evidence and history
nana
its like
i am very allured by romanticism but i must move towards actual philosophy or concepts to be satisfied and engaged
there are many like, mysticisms as well as philosophies of the body that are available for us to learn, but with respect to weightlifting it seems the USA vs china thing has the starkest difference
also with respect to the social/cultural systems that cultivate lifters
i just desire to learn more
and its too simplistic or just not clear enough at this point
and altho i know i would probably learn technique better by watching/feeling.. i am compelled to more literature that expands on these ideas of like straight up, natural, relaxed, etc... idk
its very obvious when u read something like kelly starrett how he systematizes the body
Straight up is simply the most efficient path of bar. Relaxed/natural/mindful, maybe I would look towards the philosophical history of China (Buddhism/Taoism)
yes
idk much about taoism
i know a bit about confuscious but that deals more w the social public self and education as far as ive read
my understanding of buddhism as ive read and experienced it on a 10 day silent course would lead me to believe that something like weightlifting has nothing to do with buddhism
but what i learned is specifically from burma and so idk how much it shares with other asian traditions
like how buddhism goes from meditation and prayer to things like martial arts i am interested in
I was under the impression mindfulness was a large component of Buddhism but I haven't done extensive research on the topic
4 basic truths
1. life is suffering
2. suffering has a cause
3. that cause is craving and aversion
4. suffering can end, through the development of discipline, focus (or attention), and wisdom
i may have mixed them up a bit
but #4 alludes to the importance of mindfulness, its one of the three components towards easing or ending suffering
fucking
i could explicate everything i learned right now
too caffeinated
ima white guy talking about buddhism

thurs, dec 1 - depression is physical
it is december first and i am cold in this office
apparently because i'm only wearing a t-shirt and a thin sweater
or maybe because it's december first and the SAD really kicks in as the temp decreases
but today is not even the most temperately cold
colder as grad app deadlines approach
watch a purportedly motivational vid that reminds you of how your consumption and indifference, your wasting of time, is eating you from the inside
purported vs supposed vs reported vs alleged
open a pdf about stress
its nice you can find so many e-books for free now
but make no time to, may never read them
the continuous alt-tabbing
to fool yourself that people don't think you're a shit
the constant avoidance
of real work and responsibility
beyond stress, in the last few days you've swung into a full blown depression
and this oscillation between lifting and not
you just don't have that key to it right now, do you
do your work.
nope.
--
depression is physical
i felt this as sharp pain shot up my neck, as repeated attempts at snatch pull hurt the head of my shoulder
physical exercise should me invigorating
you should lust towards it
when it becomes too much for you, in your current state
like when you are miserably depressed
an hour, hour and a half later, after 20 minutes in a tims line, 1/3 of a leftover burrito, a small tim hortons chicken soup, half a tim hortons white bun, a spoonful of black beans, and now well into the sour cream glazed donut (one of the two i purchased, along with a pb filled double chocolate cookie and a mint filled chocolate cookie), and i still feel like this
dazed, stunned
overwhelmed, wanting to google "every decision is impossible"
also did some shit ass squats up to 255x3, 255x2
will try to go home and take out the trash and walk the dog and not do things that will make me miserable (both in the short and long term)
and i just remembered i need to apply to grad school
--
omw from work to the gym a man spoke with me on the bus
i guess i was standing next to him, and then, in the way i tend to not stand still, i shifted around and stood behind him
i guess he spat on the ground in the way like someone clears their throat, and moved and did it again
then came up to me and said he had to apologize bc he didnt see that i'd moved, he didn't want to seem like he was spitting at me
i asked him how his day was and he said long, and started telling me immediately about his macular degeneration. which I guess he was diagnosed with relatively young for that disease
and about how he eats kale everyday now because it contains certain things that will delay it
but essentially once that thing starts all you can do is delay it
plus he works at a PC all day
then he talked to me about taking care of oneself, public health, prevention, care, etc.
through his accent i didn't understand everything he was saying
but it was interesting, i guess, that you ask someone how their day was and they tell you the most pressing and fatal thing on their mind
i guess i'm really good at avoiding thinking and talking about things seriously
or like
i would keep such distance with that, i think,
even if i let on that i'm sad, i wouldn't say physically depressed
lmao
idk if i mentioned in last night's post but last night my grandma told me more stories than she's ever
apparently because i'm only wearing a t-shirt and a thin sweater

what's my vert jump? from feigenbaum, on his crossfit xp:
Most guys are going to test around 22″ with women being lower, about 14″. Now, say you have a guy coming to CrossFit with a 40″ vertical jump. Whoa ATHLETE alert, right? But not so fast…..being really explosive can be advantageous in sports when the effort is brief, i.e. a running back or wide receiver, but this actually can be a disadvantage when the efforts get longer, as the athlete who is genetically wired up to be very explosive will get fatigued too quickly. Basically, if you have a neuromuscular-derived advantage in creating a lot force quickly, i.e. you’re very explosive, that same neuromuscular system betrays you when you need to produce sub-maximal amounts of force over a long period of time. There’s no such thing as a biological free lunch here, folks.
always wonder where i fit in wrt that curve
wrt lifting it seems i have some gifts i.e. legs
throughout childhood was not considered athletic or anything
dad
flat feet
i want to be a chinese snatch
daily there is a stupid cluttering of voices in my head about values and how important this shit is / should be to me
i love the way this feels, to what extent am I allowed to engage in this practice
because it seems that doing this is always pulling away from something else
in some cases that is true and important, like if i'm behind on deadlines
or if i haven't hung out with friends and family
and just want to lift
maybe that isn't productive
but but but but
what about the rest of the time
part of this "anxious dialectic" (thanks, @ft) relates to consumption, image, ego, etc.
the building up of such a fragile statue
the notion that it reveals or builds character seems funny to me in some ways
because like
to me it doesn't build character
lol
i lost my train of thought
because i had a long crap unproductive day
and im exhausted

tues, nov 29
in this post:
FATS: 82 G PER DAY.
- BIE
- google this for some new age alternative health complex shit
- training with mahdi
- his overhead press isn't bad
- strength
- squat (warmup 45, 95, 145 x 5)
- 185, 225, 225, 225, 205 x 5; 255 x3; 185 x 8
- i really enjoy 5x5 + 2-3 heavy attempts when i have the time for it because you get into that groove and then you actually have good technique on the heavies
- i am only resting 1-2 minutes between squats, should probably be doing 3-5 but i want to be like they say on lifthard.com
- normally would have done heavier after 255 but technique wasn't good - so many reasons why this could have been true, maybe still just being tight and sore from oly lifts the day before, and not being used to the 2 consecutive days since training's been inconsistent
- similarly 185 to 225 was enough of a jump that my tech got worse; with respect to the perfect vertical squat it's been beneficial to make smaller jumps
- press
- 45x5
- 65x5
- 85x5
- 85x6
- 90x5
- 95x5
- 105x5
- 115x3
- 95x3 (basically a superset)
- technique varied between good and ass here, because press has felt very difficult since i started trying to press straight up from the shoulders for carry-over to the jerk , rather than holding it my hands above my clavicle (see 140x1 ohp last year
- goddamn want such a manly strong press
- re-receiving the bar from the top position is getting better but still sucks
- front rack getting better but still sucks, need 15 minutes on JUST THESE GUYS (everythign from lats up to triceps)
- row
- pretty fun exercise
- 95x20
- literally made my nips hard, is that what sets of 20s do?
- 135x10
- starting to lift/lower torso towards end, BAD
- threw in curl 15x12, hammer superset 15x5
- row 155x5
- also lifting/lowering now, eh
- 135x5
- is this even a good exercise?
- lots of accessory
- alternative weighted back extensions with curls
- 20lbs x 10 + 30 second hold; curl 20lb bar x 20 (too light)
- 20lbs x 10 + 20s hold; 35lbs bar x 12 - didn't like this so superset with dumbell 20x8
- 20lbsx10+10s hold; 17.5 dumbell x10 curl
- lower back tensed up after third set of weighted hypers, maybe too hyper...
- tried reverse hypers and hangs to chill it out, kinda worked
- 20 lbs bar x 20, too light
- plank
- 60s, 45s, 45s
- rolled then balled, helped
if you read this you'll see me flesh out these bullets more
- watched other lifter drift bar
- random guy - moved dl because i stink
- joked to ashley and this guy
- also joked that not busy was a christmas miracle
- curled lmao
- overall lesson: spend X hours/week on something and yes you'll be sick
- always imagining this re: writing/reading, goddamn
- "don't do those things you dont' want to become, you'll become them"
- efferding
- moreso what he did outside gym than i n
- grad school app update
- send to friend
- working on it now
- starting strength mentioned in anti-authoritarian/anti-trump resistance blog post
- THIS is interesting
- amazing vegan gains
- shitload of arugula and spring mix
- can of bean mix
- chill vinaigrette, garlic and herb spices
- almonds
- PEAR
- probably sweetest veg
- "MY" "X/Y"
- very interesting
- "My" deadlift
- squat
- "my" fox
- etc
- identification with the movement that one is obviously performing
- getting full
- what kind of person buys convenience sushi
- will eat sushi and bring this salad back to life tomorrow with more greens: pro tech
- or i'll just finish it tonight
- when do i transform into hashtag mealprep
- have to spend hours on grad school asap
- had casual if awkward convo with john guy in the pisser
- mainly cause i had just taken my shirt off to check out what 20+ minutes of assistance had done
- mainly cause we were just standing in the pisser between the sink the wall and the pissers
- sushi completely mediocre but not in a bad way
- ok cmon bud grad studies
- how many cals do you think i just got, bro?
- and almonds
| sushi item | english | caloriesper piece | fatgrams per piece | carbsgrams per piece | fibergrams per piece | proteingrams per piece | weight watcherspoints plus |
|---|
| Rainbow Roll | 186 | 4 | 30 | 1 | 7 | 4.5 |
since i had the whole roll that's... 1200 cals, no way... 180 carbs... no way.... 24 fat... no way... 6 fibre... no way.... 42 protein... no way
questionable source: http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-health/calories-in-sushi/
let's assume i need like 3kkcal per day to bulk
is that a "clean" bulk i.e. 500 surplus cals per day?
how much is a handful of greens plus 3/4 of a can of beans plus a couplle handfuls of almonds... .o god.....
YOUR BMR: 1992 CALORIES/DAY
according to harris-benedict
so then i'd only need ~2500 to clean bulk, which is probably what i did slowly over the years anyways
i guess i've been maintaining the past year, for a bit tried to push it, maxed @ one point (when, reading your notebooks @ 195, no, i was 200 on some days,
what is this fucking cafeteria these ppl eat in
damn i'm 24
is my prime time for gains coming to an end
was kinda jelly with this steven guy yesterday
bc he's in first year
and we max bench the same
and he's starting oly now
lol
lapham's quarterly "youth" issue
read it you fuck
fucking lookat what bb.com wants me to do
CARBS: 330 G PER DAY.
PROTEIN: 220 G PER DAY.FATS: 82 G PER DAY.
if i buy a bb.com shirt and wear it around will they lower my macro requirements?
fyi i invented the phrase "if it fits your interest" which refers to the consumption of questionable-quality media content online simply bc it fits your interest
that should be the name of (one of) my fitness narrative(s)
TALK ABOUT, ATTENTION BEING STOLEN AND SHIT
i'm not goona eat that much protein michael and i spoke about that this is wrong
think about how many chickens died just for rich piana to go from 300 to 305
let alone the small country he ate to get there in the first place
also bb.com wants me on 2900 kcal
okay buddoe
- from a tech/media perspective, i am 'working' in the early 2000s right now
- i need to work on news-medical and sharepoint
- think about the guys who come into washroom with a mindset of discipline and determination and then go to the toilet and piss on the seat
- i think there's a lot to be said for specific kinds of focus
- ppl always talk about boosting focus in general or willpower 'in general'; that seems most possible to me through more willpower directed in each domain, idk

my relationship is falling apart, i'm an idiot
grad school apps are coming
people are willing to read my statements of purpose
and so i shall send them
after i do this snatch / cnj workout
it's been two weeks since i did the lifts
for the past two weeks, only doing one full body strength workout
but both of those were almost good enough to compensate, so i'm happy about that
technique gains are seriously being made in the upright olympic squat
which is super atg btw
last friday:
push press
45x5
75x5
95x5x2
115x4x2
125x4x2
135x4x5
155x0 (knee re-bend), 155x1
lol, can push this much harder, i will push press 185 soon
back squat
185x5x2
205x5x2
225x5
255x3
275x2x2 - on both sets the first rep rocked and the second rep slipped
bench - benching with math phd dude who is probably in his head pissing himself laughing at my lifts
45x5
135x5x2
155x5
165x5x2
could have done 1-2 more sets of bench easily but was saving gas in tank for pull -
clean pull - im trying to do that 3x shrug shit after the last rep like i see lifters do
135x5
185x3
225x3
275x3
315x3
340x1x2 also could have done 1x5 here at least but 2.5 hours in the gym cmon yo
(all double overhand hook grip btw)
no assistance OR stretching don't tell michael
neglecting my core
today:
got lemon-ginger tea before the gym at slc because my stomach hurts - dairy and gluten consumption was liberal over the weekend, I'm going to see someone tomorrow morning about a solution to my intolerance - google BIE for some desperate new age BS - health industrial complex; speaking of which debated getting a caffeinated chocolate bar (to be more alert? who the fuck knows) but realized i don't need that much more of that drug and it doesn't help me much
The woman at the slc international news counter is like the cashier version of my counselor: old, white (probably gaelic/irish), gentle, enthusiastic, supportive. I thought about the dark haired woman who used to be the cashier there; in my fourth year it looks like she (was) transferred to the math CND and seemed more rushed, less happy, etc. there.
just thinking this blog could be a good 'organizing prinipal' to get other shit down, idk, i have a number of systems for capturing thoughts and data on things but they all fail @ some point, so we'll see how long I care about this. Pulled the switcheroo on michael - he probably thought he wouldn't have to listen to me yammer on as much if I blogged instead of just messaging him re: lifting - now he'll have to hear even more of my thoughts!
warmup: a bit of rolling all around, mainly to get upper body going and target glute as the only limitation to perfect bottom squat position
snatch
....
95x3x3
115x3x3
125x1, callus tore on each hand, and one internal blood blister under the callus, goddamnit
nav tells me about some potato peeler device for removing calluses
also my shins were already poorly covered with (layers) of tape and i tore off a hairy bunch of tape and nav said i looked like the movie the mummy
and i said but not like the rock
125x2 ugh starting to feel bad and weak
115x3x2 banged pelvis on last rep
this entire time my right trap is screaming out for attention, i got hungry hansen to shove his elbow in there which helped, but i basically think i didnt warm up enough or mobilize enough and this would affect also my clean and jerk, i let nav show me a trick with a ball + dowel that enhances the standard ball to trap, felt pretty heavenly, and also sad
cnj
up to 95 x 3x3,
115x3x3
135x3x3
145x2x2 started to feel slow and uneven on my right (re: trap, shoulder), like, bar flew up up to this point and then i started getting tired and sore
135x2, 135x1
is that enough volume? I wish I had lifted more but need to warmup carefully. when it's busy i try to grab a platform right away and warmup with the bar, lol, stupid,
also fyi i woke up at 4:30 this morning to drive back from toronto, probably slept 6h or less, excuses
hungry hansen asked if id (and michael'd) be willing to take on the uw wl club bc they need more experienced ppl and he will be gone next semester
like lmao ok sounds fun but i can't really commit
do i even go here lol
finished with stirring the pot - (10 rotations x each direction) x 3
did some banded shoulder shit
one set of pushups between blocks
watched zammar fool around trying to get a weighted belt going for that squat exercise shit
something something
weak legs lever arm something something
overall this session was a 5/10, i could be doing better
~2 hours; if i was willing to do 2.5 to 3 i could do better
food today:
random food in morning (5am): one boiled egg, some chips, a clementine or two
10am: small cup of chips (shhh) and an orange
lunch: large green salad (arugula kale brussel sprouts red cabbage etc), chick peas, chill vinaigrette
1 carrot
2-4pm: more chips (shhh)
4:30: small leftover chick peas from lunch, 1 scoop of vegan protein (hemp, soy, maybe rice in there too) (20g), 1 carrot (some chips [shh]),
drank total of 3-4 coffees today, from new fancy eco beans i bought, and i didnt even like the coffee, wtf, couldnt even enjoy that smoky boldness that helps me thru my misery
>too much coffee (needs to go down to 1-2 instead of 3-4)
>not enough water (drank probably 2l of just water MAX, if that, needs to be 4+litres)
dinner: SOGO cumin lamb (spicy) with rice, "traditional chinese crepe"
craving a coke or a soda, weird, yesterday ksenija asked me how much i drank it and i said like once a month max, and then i was having one, and i want one now
i rate this blog post 5/10
people are willing to read my statements of purpose

115x3x3
125x1, callus tore on each hand, and one internal blood blister under the callus, goddamnit
nav tells me about some potato peeler device for removing calluses
also my shins were already poorly covered with (layers) of tape and i tore off a hairy bunch of tape and nav said i looked like the movie the mummy
and i said but not like the rock
125x2 ugh starting to feel bad and weak
115x3x2 banged pelvis on last rep
this entire time my right trap is screaming out for attention, i got hungry hansen to shove his elbow in there which helped, but i basically think i didnt warm up enough or mobilize enough and this would affect also my clean and jerk, i let nav show me a trick with a ball + dowel that enhances the standard ball to trap, felt pretty heavenly, and also sad
cnj
up to 95 x 3x3,
115x3x3
135x3x3
145x2x2 started to feel slow and uneven on my right (re: trap, shoulder), like, bar flew up up to this point and then i started getting tired and sore
135x2, 135x1
is that enough volume? I wish I had lifted more but need to warmup carefully. when it's busy i try to grab a platform right away and warmup with the bar, lol, stupid,
also fyi i woke up at 4:30 this morning to drive back from toronto, probably slept 6h or less, excuses
hungry hansen asked if id (and michael'd) be willing to take on the uw wl club bc they need more experienced ppl and he will be gone next semester
like lmao ok sounds fun but i can't really commit
do i even go here lol
finished with stirring the pot - (10 rotations x each direction) x 3
did some banded shoulder shit
one set of pushups between blocks
watched zammar fool around trying to get a weighted belt going for that squat exercise shit
something something
weak legs lever arm something something
overall this session was a 5/10, i could be doing better
~2 hours; if i was willing to do 2.5 to 3 i could do better
food today:
random food in morning (5am): one boiled egg, some chips, a clementine or two
10am: small cup of chips (shhh) and an orange
lunch: large green salad (arugula kale brussel sprouts red cabbage etc), chick peas, chill vinaigrette
1 carrot
2-4pm: more chips (shhh)
4:30: small leftover chick peas from lunch, 1 scoop of vegan protein (hemp, soy, maybe rice in there too) (20g), 1 carrot (some chips [shh]),
drank total of 3-4 coffees today, from new fancy eco beans i bought, and i didnt even like the coffee, wtf, couldnt even enjoy that smoky boldness that helps me thru my misery
>too much coffee (needs to go down to 1-2 instead of 3-4)
>not enough water (drank probably 2l of just water MAX, if that, needs to be 4+litres)
dinner: SOGO cumin lamb (spicy) with rice, "traditional chinese crepe"
craving a coke or a soda, weird, yesterday ksenija asked me how much i drank it and i said like once a month max, and then i was having one, and i want one now
