I cried like a little b at the wake tonight. I didn't want to. Tried not to. Failed. Left to the car because the wake was generally positive, only limited crying from other guests, I didn't want to be a downer.
Got myself together in the car. Came back inside. Then in a different room there was a screen going through photographs of her life and I broke down again and left.
Funeral tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
Thank you.

Better than nothing.
I'm on the road. Had a chance to deadlift on a level floor, was emboldened to go a little heavier than normal. 505 felt great. Didn't want to push it.
405 x 5 x 5 with an aggro bar reminded me why I normally use straps for work sets.

Since I knocked out Overhead Press last night I decided to superset Scapular Chins with Reverse Hyper.
Loved this session. Cannot wait to bike tomorrow.
Also, first time knocking out 285 for five triples! Felt great. Progress, even if slow, is progress.

For the next 2 weeks my commute is 2 hours each way. I know some people live like this, but if you're not used to it then it's annoying. Cut into my lifting time tonight and gas adds up.
On the bright side, benching 285 for triples felt great. Weirdly, backoff sets of benching 240 x 5 are just as easy as squatting 240 x 5. I think this has something to do with my legs experiencing a near constant, low intensity kind of DOMS from indoor biking. If I sleep then the DOMS is not too bad. If I don't sleep, the DOMS makes stairs a nightmare. Haven't slept much in going on 6 days. Hopefully tonight breaks the steak.

Getting under 46 minutes was a MF.
In other news, Bas Rutten might not be full of shit with his cardio/breathing-inhibitor device afterall. Looks like it not only works, but may also lower blood pressure:

Whoa. That's pretty interesting. It looks like the
paper came out on 15 September 2022, and it hasn't made it on to sci hub yet. I'd love to see the whole paper, but a 9 point reduction in SBP and a 4 point reduction in DBP is really significant. I may have to pick up one of those devices...
Above-normal blood pressure (BP) is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In a retrospective analysis of five pilot trials, we assessed the BP-lowering effects of high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) in adults aged 18-82 years and the impact of IMST on maximal inspiratory pressure (PIMAX), a gauge of inspiratory muscle strength and independent disease risk factor.
Participants were randomized to high-resistance IMST (75% PIMAX) or low-resistance sham (15% PIMAX) training (30 breaths/day, 5-7 days/week, 6 weeks).
IMST (n=67) reduced systolic BP (SBP) by 9±1 mmHg (p<0.01) and diastolic BP (DBP) by 4±1 mmHg (p<0.01). IMST-related reductions in SBP and DBP emerged by week 2 of training (-4±1 mmHg and -3±1 mmHg; p≤0.01, respectively) and continued across the 6-week intervention.
SBP and DBP were unchanged with sham training (n=61, all p>0.05).
Select subject characteristics slightly modified the impact of IMST on BP. Greater reductions in SBP were associated with older age (β=-0.07±0.03; p=0.04) and greater reductions in DBP associated with medication-naïve BP (β=-3±1; p=0.02) and higher initial DBP (β=-0.12±0.05; p=0.04). PIMAX increased with high-resistance IMST and low-resistance sham training, with a greater increase from high-resistance IMST (+20±2 vs. +6±2 cmH2O; p<0.01). Gains in PIMAX had a modest inverse relation with age (β=-0.20±0.09; p=0.03) and baseline PIMAX (β=-0.15±0.07; p=0.04) but not to reductions in SBP or DBP.
These compiled findings from multiple independent trials provide the strongest evidence to date that high-resistance IMST evokes clinically significant reductions in SBP and DBP, and increases in PIMAX, in adult men and women.

Your local library probably has a subscription to hoopla. It is free. If you don't have a library card, it might be worth it. There are tons of killer audiobooks, amongst other stuff.

There's a troubled relationship between my driving and audio books. If I get books on something I'm interested in learning (usually a language or statistics) then I start trying to do math or conjugate verbs in my head and before I know it I'm 3 exits past where I should have gotten off.
This is why I usually do topical podcasts. Low brain power.
The safe bet for audio books is fantasy or scifi. Which I'll try to borrow for free. Thanks!
