The Stimulating Reps

[AaronM]

Dude, we still need your thigh measurement.

26 15/16”

Took you long enough to measure your thighs. I'll just let you round that up to 27", which means we have the same size thighs even though I only weigh 197.6lb with a max squat of 330x3. I bet my gut is bigger than yours though...

Really? I never got it. The inability to prove some weird self-referential statement . . . never really worried me. It seemed like some odd trick of limited significance. I was pretty disappointed in the mathematical logic course I took in grad school. But I might be missing something. . . .

More concrete and down to earth statements are provably independent of ZFC (the standard axiomatization of mathematics). For example:

Squats: 330x5x3, followed by some light front squats.

Felt hard, but they look @7 on video.

Bench later tomorrow. Tatas sore from pullovers I forgot to log

Also. The album, LA Woman, was soundtrack. What an amazing album.

Oh, here’s a devotional-front-Squat for cgeorg:



Using proprietary lidar technology, I measured max rearward hip displacement at 37mm

I can tell from the angle of the video and height of the whiteboard that that was at least 44mm.

Is that um... is that normally how you hold the bar though?

myotape or it didn't happen

[Hanley]

is that normally how you hold the bar

No, brah. But it’s a nice drill to ensure you don’t default to back squat mechanics.

Using tactile feedback from manual stimulation of my nipples, while watching this video soaking in a storage bin full of cottage cheese, I can tell your taint was insufficiently clenched during this rep. I can run through some private drills with you...

Are the pullovers with your tricep bar? Is that a 15 lbs bar? Or just the 15 kg plate?

[Hanley]

With tricep bar. Wasn’t sure what it weighed. Just weighed it: 18.5#.

Did you have the collars on it? I think you have the same one that I have. I thought it was 22#.

Let me test on the scale. . . .

19.6, if my scale is right. It probably isn't that accurate. That was the difference between me holding it and just me. I'm just going to call it 20# to simplify things in the log.

It's because of those private drills, isn't it?

Speaking of, at my game night yesterday, a friend of mine said "It doesn't taste like pee". In regards to you-know-what.
It was a bit of a sideways allusion to whatever was happening at the moment conversationally, but he was firm on the point.

[Hanley]

"It doesn't taste like pee"

he was firm on the point.

Unmistakably not-pee.

Sort of.
