Spending time with my sister and her boyfriend in the Florida Keys. Just got through swimming at a beach, dragging them around in the ocean. Great exercise, if I say so. Eating and rest are what we need from the exertion.
Good day so far, and not a drop of rain yet to ruin the day.

Saw a guy in T-shirt and shorts, huge upper body but fragile tiny legs like toothpicks. Never fails to crack me up. Also I'm all alone because all my friends and relatives are spending their holiday at some far away country. Due to unexpected expenses I cannot afford to travel so I'm stuck and have to work.

Not great. I have to come in early tomorrow, regarding an event that happened 2 months ago. Precipitated by me asking a question to the team supervisor, and him taking that email and forwarding it to my department head, a different department head, and my department heads boss. *sigh*

It was pretty good. Thanks to shadow, I found out about, and watched all the videos of Dorkly. And I can't remember the last time I had so much fun while watching videos. Then I moved onto team four stars final fantasy 7 abridged series. And that was amazing. I haven't laughed that hard, and that long for a while now. My favorite line in the entire show was 'did that room just get colder?' and all the men agreeing it did.
Oh, and I asked my team lead to at least let me know before he forwards my email to any other folks. I see him on Sunday, so we'll have to see if there is any blow back for that email. But I'll take my lumps in stride, should I need to.

Yesterday was last day of school, so kids and I were kind of torn between going 'Yay!' and 'Aww... '. Anyway, we said our goodbyes and wished each other a nice summer.

My barbell set has come in the mail today. The overall package was 105lb/48kg, and was a bit of a pain to lift. Like I mentioned before, I'm not very strong. Pictured in the spoiler: 80lb/36kg on the barbell itself, 4 5lb/2.2kg plates on the floor, 2 dumbbell bars and 6 plate clamps (a pair is already on the barbell). A little later on, I'll swap out the bar for something that is both wider and stronger, and I'll get some heavier plates. Until then, I could use this alongside my weighted vest, but I'll be taking the weights out since I would like some comfort in my weightlifting, and squatting with a bar isn't the most comfy feeling. I also won't do too much too soon, lest I wrack some underused muscles.

Thats a very light set though, rule of thumb is to start with a barbell set that allows you to put on enough weight to match your body weight, for deadlifts and squats. But you can always buy more plates, so easy fix. Have fun! I have a total of 300kg in weights, which cost me several hundred bucks.

But you can always buy more plates, so easy fix. Have fun! I have a total of 300kg in weights, which cost me several hundred bucks. Thanks for the advice. Personally, trying to squat/deadlift my own weight (81kg) would be considered a death sentence at my level, as I've never done such a thing before. And I was barely able to complete 2 sets of 8 squats with what I have, which has my butt and thighs feeling like they've been paddled for hours, so I know I have a lot of work ahead of me. Until now I've been copying and performing exercises one would do in any military, and much of that is bodyweight and endurance. And 300kg? I have trouble picturing that much weight.

Oh you're at the very beginning then. Its best to learn the basic movement patterns, hammer out the dents in form and start getting the body ready for action first before going for weight. You are absolutely right with that approach. If I have learned something in my lifting ''career'' its that smooth, smart and taking your time is what wins the game. And 300kg? I have trouble picturing that much weight. Sounds way more dramatic than it looks, this is 300 kg. 200 on the bar and a couple of 2.5, 5 and 10's in the background (not all visible). And yeah, I need more 20's but they cost 45 bucks a piece.

My day fucking sucked! First I brought my bicycle to service because it was behaving iffy and get strange chain jams, the service guy asked me what the hell I did with it because the entire gear mechanism and all the ball bearings are wrecked beyond repair. Then he pointed at my legs and said ''ah, brute strength''. Replacement parts are going to cost me 200+ bucks. Then I went shopping clothes ( ) because I desperately need new jeans - and found *GASP* really awesome cargo pants in cool colors and camo patterns. Awesome, cargo pants are so hard to find these days. I wanted to by a fucking dozen of them...and then I saw the price tag. 120 bucks / pcs. Yeah, right. I jumped into the car and drove home. Being poor sucks. A lot. And now I got bitten by some random bug and my foot is swollen. Might have been a wasp.

That sucks beetle. I would suggest icing your foot. BTW, what are cargo pants?
My day was pretty good this far. I cousin is graduating highschool, and we had a family celebration for him. Back yard pool party at a relative of my aunts. And I found out my bathing suit no longer fit! Good in the sense that I'm loosing weight. Bad in the sense I wasn't able to get in the pool.

That sucks beetle. I would suggest icing your foot. BTW, what are cargo pants? Cargo pants are made of tough thick fabric with at least 2 useful thigh pockets, usually available in natural or camo colors. They have wide belt loops to ensure a tough belt fit and the hip pockets are usually secured with either buttons or Velcro. Good ones are just loose enough to fit my large legs yet they're not shapeless sacks like baggy pants. I've always been a big fan of that type of pants because of their toughness, usefulness and their relative loose/forgiving fit. But now they're nearly extinct, besides a handful of premium labels producing those pants for premium prices. Skin-tight hipster stretch jeans that make you feel like your balls and butt are in a vice and large jeans with puzzling shapes have taken over the market completely, and they are highly incompatible with the shapes of my lower half. Proper cargo pants:

Got a call from the bicycle service center, they told me that the handlebar plus front tire assembly had a severe damage that could have resulted in the entire front assembly breaking off at any time. They suspect it was broken that way for quite a while. When I told them I was frequently driving my bicycle downhill with over 100 km/h and with my body weight of 107 kilograms they nearly got a heart attack.
So apparently I am still alive because of sheer luck. Cool. :dumb:

Did dead lifts today, 170kg 2x 8 repetitions, 190kg 3x 3 reps, 210kg 2x 1 rep. Now I'm extremely trashed, I nearly passed out during the last two repetitions, but I managed to complete all sets with great form. Tonight I'm going to sleep like a baby, thats for sure.

It had its ups and downs. I woke up tired, then tried to run east to a deli that makes awesome home made potato/macaroni salads. The deli was closed, and omw back home I accidently ran over a rooster that wandered into the middle of the road. No way I could stop in time to avoid it, and I didn't think I could help it so I didn't stop. It even gave a flap of one wing before it went still...
Then I played some D&D, and that was fun, but the combat was frustrating.
After that I started a new game of dishonored 2 as corvo (the outsider is an asshole in this new one). I'm playing him as a mix of lethal and non-lethal. I don't know how many targets there are, or how many I'm going to kill yet. Playing it by ear.
Then I came to work, and work was alright. It was interesting, in ways I wasn't expecting, but weren't frustrating either.
So yea, ups and downs.

Was a bit all over the place, but everything's good at the moment. Was having a sensitivity issue with a rare, experimental dental implant called a maryland bridge. It's one of those things that takes time to get used to, but it'd feel bizarre to be missing it. Also, Books and Persona 5. And fish.

I have an exercise hangover, got carried away lifting weights yesterday and did too much with too heavy weights. But as for something positive, I'm going to get my bicycle back from service, they could repair all its damage. I'ts like a little resurrection! From the ashes it arose, my beloved trusty iron steed!

Went cycling, boy my overhauled bike runs like oil on glass. :hearteyes: Also, I know that boasting sucks but I have to say that I'm damn fast on a bicycle for a guy weighing nearly 110kg, even uphill. One would think that weight is a total handicap for cycling but I have to say, from first hand experience, its not nearly half as bad as people make it out to be.
