Friday is a no school day, so switching BJJ to today and
Doing Dumb Stuff as a College Kid
Current game plan: I found a coach to work with and that’ll start Monday. Going to take a deload rest of this week. My body feels like shit. Was going to squat for reps and 265 felt like a heavy single (on SSB). Very very annoyed and pissed off but pretty sure I’m more irritable from the exam load (which is over now) Good news though: hip is slowly getting better

Magick’s Training Log v2
Flat Bench- 135/145/155/165/175/185lbx1 Belt Squat- 255/285/315/345/375/405lbx1 Chin-up- bw/+5/+10/+15/+20/+25 Felt drained on the bench and not fast at all, but 185lb felt easy. Very cool to hit a 405lb on any kind of squat at all. This felt much easier than the 390lb on Weds too. But my lower body is feeling sore.
The Return of Even More Movies You’ve Watched This Week III
I watched about a half of “The Smashing Machine” last night. I really liked what I saw. There were many great small details that sucked me in! Kerr’s voice inflection, Paul Varelens’ fighting stance, Mark Coleman’s EZ chair, even Sakuraba’s orange shorts. Some scenes/conversations were taken directly from the OG Smashing Machine documentary that I saw once like 20 years ago. Or news stories or just general perception of MMA around ’98-2000. It really took me back! I’m excited to finish it up

3x8: front squat 99 kg 3x10: db floor press 42 kg 1x10: military press 55 kg Hip’s feeling 100% as good as the other hip now, even on front squats, though who knows if it still would if I went heavier or tried to crank out a couple more reps.

Lanky Me Chasing 5 More lbs, 1 More Rep
9 October 2026 Squat 265 x 5 Finally figured out why I wasn’t reaching depth. If anything really good came out of this back tweak, I brought out my bar which has been stuck at home and started doing squats with just the bar at home. I used to squat with pretty flared out feet, like 45 degrees. Lately they’ve been closer to 30 degres which is probably what was limiting my depth after all those ankle sprains and basically just my anatomy. I took a video of this 265 x 5 and depth is back to what it was before, powerlifting legal.

Gym Gals pissed over joke
There’s a part in that movie where they are in a hotel and Otis shoots the guy and girls (I think she was on Threes Company) starts screaming like “oh my god” that was pretty humorous, LOL. It’s been a while since I seen it, might need to revisit this weekend, oh my wife will love that.
Once more with feeling
Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. Sometimes doing less can actually help you stay consistent and give you more time to focus on other things. I also like the idea of being able to adjust your training days depending on your schedule instead of forcing yourself to stick to a strict routine. Do you feel like you make similar progress with 3 days a week compared to 4?

Kinda lame to have Hip Airplanes in the main spot. But its been months and doing exercises where I jam my hips arent doing what I need.
The physiques that made you want to lift?
I grew up around Phil Pfister and I always wanted to look like him. Should have taken more chances to lift with him and my dad growing up instead of watching him hurls rocks all over the family farm.
Lost At Sea Lifting
Friedrich: I bet the islands off the coast are beautiful. We stayed on Koi Ya Noi for a week, and chartered a boat around a dozen or so island. Hong island is gorgeous.
Trump 2025 - Resuming The National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity (Part 2)
Scale would be the question for me. A watchman watching a corner in the event something happens is fundamentally different than a camera, or more accurately a system of cameras automatically aggregating the movement of millions of innocent people to be stored in a database and accessed retroactively - for whatever reason. A better analogy for your point would be whether or not I had a problem with a watchman following me around every single time I left my house, taking notes and recording my l
The Right Now Acting Left
Hearing lots of crying about the raid of Omar’s house……. Look, this is part of the game both sides play, they all use the doj they control to raid the other sides house. BOTH sides do this and BOTH sides KNOW it’s going to happen to them. Stop crying about these clowns getting raided, there is nothing YOU can do it about, worry about yourself because if the shit hits the fan none of that will even matter.
