    Heard a lot of the older folks at the gym talking just today about the Great Inquisition - why aren't they showing the other side, why is Pelosi off limits, its never been this corrupt in 60, 70,80 years, I've never seen it like this!! (60s-70s-80s yos)

    “I don’t wanna hear any more of these LIES about reckless spending! We’re CHANGING LIVES!!!!”
    who's the dumb motherfucker?

    BW 175. Still.
    I feel like I got a bounce from more sleep, less hockey? Day went ok, my press IDK my shoulder let me do them today, I guess, the last hump before Deload week, starts Monday.

    I've been begging the gym owner for storage racks for our bumpers for months; finally got them, they're the kind with the handle in front and wheels?
    So I go in today. The rack does have bumpers racked where they should go - but there was a small metal 5, a metal 10 after and a huge metal 45 at the very end - put on the HANDLE. Listen. I know I am probably not smarter than the average bear; so what does that make them? wth??
    Then overhearing squat being taught (very high), with 'blow all your air out on the way up.' That's a first.

    Whelp, its not every day I just want to stop trying at all, but today is one. So much "bad luck", the pandemic, Biden with policies and the inflation, the constant gaslighting by media is maddening & depressing. "c'mon, don't make things up, ok?" -Biden. Biden is golden. GOLDEN. No policy is affecting anything! There's no long term inflation or recession!! IDK Market Ticker had an article about Yellen today. Do they even KNOW what they're doing? Finally, FINALLY found something at a decent salary where my neighbor works, got hired! got background checked! did the drug test! My neighbor asked today did you get called in? Not yet. Oh I found out yesterday they're implementing a hiring freeze.

    Talking with some 43yo guy rehabbing a shoulder/torn bicep surgery, & another guy I know (50yo) - both were stunned that I'll be 62. I guess 50 is also a baby now. Not bad with the flooring in 90° heat & humidity but its also deload; we'll see tomorrow.
    Week 20 Deload

    C2 Erg 30 minutes 4600?? 23,24 spm, on 6.

    Pile-it training: finished the other 3/4 of load after yesterday's gym session.
    Arms/shoulders - bruise on side of my left bicep (they're 9" wide planks); tried not to be a pussy. Turns out each case only weighs 45-46#.
    95° & humid, had to dig them out of the truck bed due to idiots using a broken pallet, and securing 12 loose cases on top of the pallet with blue painter tape;
    I stacked them neatly in the house.

    Quickdraw SO figured I was couple hundred # over my F150 load capacity (I knew I was a tiny bit over) and said I KNEW the painters tape was not gonna hold, why did I not call out the 4 men? I DID tell them, the 12 cases on top are good but everything else on the pallet is the wrong product - so fix it.

    Exchanged 3 damaged boxes this am before cardio.
    Definitely have gotten stronger, I guess. And probably more heat tolerant.

    W20 DELOAD D2 slept a good amount last night, still feeling pretty tired/shit. Still huge bruise on left arm.

    I'm learning with the bodybuilding accessories - continuous tension, pauses, take out the muscle you don't want to work as much as possible... and asking for advice. No lockout or rest on leg ext. big diff. Twist my hand on the triceps contraction with continuous tension, big diff. I seem to still be gaining strength at my advanced age.

    And apparently this program kicks ass and is working; at least 5 people say the training is making a noticeable difference that they can see (I find it shocking when they tell me; everyone sees it but me, idk).

    Over the work thing I guess; I said, I have no place. My SO said, its only money; we're moved 1000 miles near your kids/grandkids now - YOUR PLACE IS BEING GRANNY - INFLUENCING THOSE KIDS. Skipping Friday to visit grandkids, next week strength 4wk block, then peak 4wk block, ending Aug. 13.

    Comp Bench 4x2s 70-95#
    80x4x2s @6RPE - no pain during these; crisp and speedy - ez.
    Bent BB Row straps. 4x2s 80#. Had big Jeff check he said they're good.
    80x4x2s @5.5RPE? - ez
    Neutral Grip Pulldowns 3sX90# 4-5RIR
    90x8 @3RIR
    90x7 @4RIR
    90x7 @4RIR
    Decline DB Press + Leg Extensions 30+35R arm + 60 4-5RIR. I put a two inch plate under the foot of the bench. And, I added this exercise (decline db) after reading ANDY BAKER'S EMAIL. Another one of those people handing out free gold!! It worked great, no pains, probably could have done 35 both arms but I am trying not to irritate my bicep tendon.
    35/30x6 @5RIR + 60x8 @4RIR
    35/30x8 @5RIR + 60x8 @4RIR
    WG Seated Row + Hamstring Curls 80 + 70 4-5RIR
    80x8 @5RIR + 70x6 @4 RIR
    80x7 @4RIR + 70x6 @4RIR
    BB Curls 45# now, we don't have an EZ curl 45 so straight bar. 2s 4-5RIR, thought for sure this would be too hard, it wasn't.
    45x6x2s @4RIR
    1arm reverse grip Tri pulldown w/handle IDk it is asking for a 10RM, but I did these before.
    10#x10 @3RIR
    10#x10 @2RIR
    10#x9 @0RIR

    Are we ever going to be done with The Great Inquisition? My fam, argue over stupid shit texts all day and night - seems like all sides discussed nat guard it wasn't done, why are we trying to blame only one person/side? especially with only one side at the inquisition.

    MOVE ALONG; move forward with my tax dollars; go on to next point of contention.
    Who is paying for the acting classes (oh yeah, I AM) - these MEN, CRYING, or so MOVED TO TEARS they can barely speak, give me a break, have no clue what hard work really is, karma will bring you something to really cry about!!!

    IDK what happened but my back is really out; could barely bend over, lot of pain, epsom salt bath w/stretch after didn't help at all; couldn't sleep comfortably. Shit. Looking forward to squatting a triple @175 today damnit.
    What are you gonna do, not train? Took 4 Advil, reduced my readiness ratings, got 165-170 top set. Legs were fine, back/hip IDK could barely load the bar, first two reps felt great, no pain at that weight (why?? does anyone know?) I dropped 3rd rep on pins, my legs were fine, felt my back though, I didn't want to make it worse. Did one less downset.

    Still really struggling w pain could barely get out of bed or sit; low left back and around to front of left hip. Depressing and world has gone crazy.
    Yellen. How about we go back to, women and men MAY work, but a single salary without OT is quite enough to comfortably raise a FAMILY? It seems like the US doesn't even want people to be able to RENT living space.

    C2 Erg 35 minutes.
