idlehands caveats though:
1. You're already jacked
2. You were in bodybuilding for like 50 years before this
I had to work late today and the gym closed before I got off. Just as well, as I have what appears to be five solid days of training coming up?? Unless something good comes up in my personal life, but let's be real.
Food:
1. 50g whey in water
2. ~Two beef patties with two slices cheddar, two strips bacon, lettuce, tomatoes
3. 150g whey in water
4. Lyudmila came around advertising the "cheesy burrito-bread"* she brought in and made me eat a few bites in front of her
5. I later tried to ply her with alcohol but she ended up escaping with just a diet Coke while I had 16oz of Guinness along with a dose of shame
6. 8oz boiled chicken breast + three poached eggs
*By "burrito-bread" she meant flour tortillas ("Don't laugh. My English is much better than your Russian."), and by "cheesy burrito-bread" she meant she melted some gruyere onto said tortillas. So a soggy quesadilla. Can't fault her for trying I guess.

Heh. Yea man iono. Imperial units are for losers. But I'm pretty heavily dependent on a couple of rugged dudes in the machine shop, so I'm stuck with mils.

Ran out of time before sets 4-5. It's fine, I guess, given the total DL volume for today. Already had a sick pump going too. Let's see if that turns into anything useful....

1. 50g whey in water
2. About 16oz meatloaf + 3 pieces of fried chicken

No story ??
Sorry, I can't always be on. I also didn't train today because a flat tire I thought I fixed yesterday leaked on me overnight. I didn't notice and then proceeded to fuck up the rim trying to pull away from the curb. Bleh. I did eat though:
Saturday:
1. 100g whey +20g sugar in water (pre-intra lifting)
2. 16oz chicken breast + 1lb asparagus
3. Lyudmila shows up hangry around this point. 8oz carne asada + on three little tortillas with side of black beans and grilled veggies.........and a big uncalled-for margarita
4. I find myself alone briefly so Lagavulin because empty nothingness of the human condition
5. Lyudmila returns from taking care of her dog. Giant diet coke while watching Logan for the second time. The theater had installed the reclining seats, but mine didn't work it's fine. I saw it already on opening weekend so this time I was mostly just googling "hugh jackman days of future past workout" while she oohed and ahhed his body.
6. It's like 12AM and Lyudmila is hangry again. "Dude, I need some pizza, like, right now." Found a place in Old Town Alexandria. She goes, "Uh...iono what you like, but I usually get the meat lovers option...do they have one? Yes! Okay is meat lovers cool?" I came twice. She crammed like 4 slices into her 5'6" 130lb frame. I came again. I had three slices meat lovers pizza. Thin crust, for what that's worth. Not that much. Ugh SHW4lyfe. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and a skinny drunk dude coming out of the stall was like, "Yo bro I see who you with. How'd you swing that?" "I...haven't swung anything." "Nah man I see what you're doing. You're being chill. Real chill. Like, you're cool about it aight I get that. But seriously though, you're probably like, some sort of bigtime consultant or something, huh?" He tried to low-five me but again, he had just taken a dump and was waiting behind me to wash his hands so I tucked and rolled out the door. Later, we passed by him and his ladyfriend on our way out, during which he winked and gave me a thumbs up. I'll take it. Beggars can't be choosers.
When I got home I found two simultaneous bootycalls happening (recall the house is now a sausagefest), and neither of those guys lifts or cares about food. I'm on pornhub. Time to reevaluate my life.
Sunday:
1. Szymon and Jenn wanted to get brunch because, in the words of the great Bill Burr, "Why sleep in when you can pay $52 for eggs," so of course it was "Okay we can't make up our minds but I told Lyudmila to pick out a place. You in?" Went to Kapnos in U Street. Pretty good actually, albeit tiny servings. I had about 6oz grilled chicken and three bites of waffle with a bit of honey and then stole some of of Lyudmila's taramasalata and a bit of flatbread when she was in the bathroom whatever. Also an assload of coffee, during which I might have chipped a tooth trying to eat a sugar cube.
2. Last slice of pizza from last night
3. 8oz gas station beef jerky
4. 8oz chicken breast, three eggs, 1lb asparagus, all boiled in chicken broth

Gym has been closed. Will train tomorrow.
Yesterday I ate:
1. Lyudmila made a big-ass coffee cake and forced me to eat a slice in front of her. It was the same volume and density as a red brick. RIP RPS
2. 16oz chicken breast, 1lb asparagus, 6 eggs, all boiled in chicken broth
3. 100g whey in water
4. 6 eggs, 1lb broccoli, 4oz smoked salmon, all scrambled together
Today:
1. 6 eggs, 1lb broccoli, 4oz smoked salmon, all scrambled together (other half of yesterday's batch)
2. 100g whey in water
3. Lyudmila busted out with red velvet cake and made me eat a slice in front of her. I swear that girl is pounding Ritalin at 4AM or something.
4. 100g whey in water
5. About 8oz egg noodles boiled in pork broth with lean roast pork and veggies
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what you meant by that. Mini-story: she slipped trying to step over some snow to get to her car and "threw out my back" whatever that means. So what's the redpill move? Do I also need to nofap it? Is there really no legal way for me to solve those guys' problems with bullets and fire?
Marginally related: saw Jackie with a co-worker and she went, "Okay I get that JFK didn't do much, and was mostly just the first 'made-for-TV' president. But dignified nothingness is still motivating, kind of like the British monarchy, and I am okay with that. But 'reality-TV-president' is not that."
Later she asked me, "Uh.....so this might sound like a 'elitist' thing to say, but does it seem like people our age of average to below average intelligence don't have much going on in their lives besides making babies? While the people who studied too hard in school or got stressful busy jobs or whatever are too busy and putting this off? What if over time we become stupid as a country? This happened back home [she's a foreign national from India] and now that place is run by people who definitely are not the most intelligent."
"First of all, you're very polite. Have you seen Idiocracy?"*
"No, what's that?"
"Go watch it and get back to me."
Today she goes, "Augh that movie was supposed to be a joke, right?! But it's happening now. So fast. We will have a professional fighter [she means wrestler] for president after this and then it will be the end of America....just in time for me to finally be a citizen....."
I chortled.
I do it the Gordon Ramsey way with a pot. Kind of a pain in the ass, but the results are noticeably smoother than what I can manage with a pan, plus, as you noticed, now there's room for tons of extras.
I got to the gym with 20 minutes to spare because the hours on Wednesdays are silly. I did:
Squat:
20kg x10
60x8
100x8
140x8
150x8
157x8
Didn't have time for a second set at 157 which left me rather cross but hey, them's the breaks.
*Yes I get that Idiocracy is a joke and not meant to be a nuanced critique of 21st century America. That said, just because we might not necessarily be getting more dumb doesn't mean we weren't already terminally dumb.
