Forgot light day update, again. I'm running out of jokes about it and brain injuries at this point.
I don't know if the dips are already causing improvement or if 280 lbs just isn't a lot of weight to bench press, having just started another cycle and all. Squats felt rock solid. The gym has started to provide some cone of chalk thing, apparently to try to help out actual lifters while containing what little mess the chalk we used to bring in would make. I can't find what the fuck it actually was online, but I suspect it was more than just magnesium carbonate, like some binding agent to keep it from disintegrating into a pile of powder the first time someone touched it, because it felt noticeably slicker than the chalk I was using. I suspect this could be a problem down the road, as I'm not fucking up deadlifts in order to avoid making a "mess" that I just make anyway with this stupid Cone of Bullshit.
Also, due to the relative dearth of respectable retardery for me to notice in the gym this week, and because it's the most overrated week of golf, and perhaps all of sports, AND because from now on, until something mildly annoys him, DirtyRed is going to have a more positive and benevolent outlook on life, it's Golf Clap of the Week instead of Dipshit of the Week this week. And it goes to the two girls squatting 55 lbs, TO DEPTH. With a low bar position and everything. Sure, there were probably enough nitpicks to bring them from an A to a B, but standards are REALLY goddamn low in there.
