A mix of 5/3/1 and other programming: MatTheCur's stew

[anandagirl]

You do know we can see and hear you, right?

its cute that you think the times you can see and hear me are the only times I am lurking

I'm always watching

like Jesus and Santa

and Harry from his creepy little corner.

I came in here to read up on Matt's workouts, but this made me snort

[NosyJossie]

Interesting philosophy! I tend to do a lot of reading and research for things that I've never come across at the job, so I suppose I touch on that part already?

Yep, that works.

Most of the time it's a party in here. Sometimes it's a creepy party, but a party nonetheless

Yep, that works.

I'm not being flippant, either, btw. Definitely going to take a look at the two you suggested.

Luckily I've already bought Isa's presents, so I just have to do stocking stuffers and the like. It'll be fine

Ahhh my Titans served me well. I'm going to keep them as a backup pair, just like I did my old EFS sleeves.

The only true party is a creepy party.

lulz That's for DAMNED sure!



So, a little update:

I deadlifted Tuesday night, and all went well. I'll be posting the session today at lunch-ish.

Wednesday morning... EARLY... I was woken up by a ball of uncomfortable in my stomach, and spent the next 6 or so hours having a really sh!tty morning. Needless to say I didn't go to work. I'm feeling good today, albeit kinda weak. I'm taking it easy on eating, and am mostly drinking water/Gatorade.

Ugh. Just when I thought I was going to get back into the swing of things...

I'm hoping to be able to decline tomorrow. Actually, I'll probably get into the gym no matter what tomorrow because it's Christmas weekend, and I think the gym's pretty closed the whole time. Plus, family stuff, etc. etc.

So there you go.

[HARRYBEAST]

At least it didn't happen during deadlifts. Get better buddy!

[penny0527]

While we are being positive....at least you didn't sh!t your pants. Glass half full!

That's the weird thing... I was fine all of Tuesday, and during the session. I literally woke up in a cold sweat needing to go. It was horrid.

I would have told you. Definitely.

I came close to soiling the bed, does that count??
