Happy Friday! Got a new project just pass Wednesday from manager and it due today. Been working many hours and I am almost done.
It is still so cold though. Wearing sweater and a big coat. OR maybe I just don't have enough meat like Evo to keep warm. J/k lol.
I am embrassed to say that I did not break into my belt when I got it. I just start using it with my lifts. Read some user's reviews saying to just use it right away. How did you break into your belt?
So far I can still use "clean" grip with front squats. When I did 135 I can then feel that both my wrist are hurting. I think I try the straps with 135. I'll hold out from using straps unless I really need it. I cannot do cross grip. The bar starts to swing because one arm is on top of another. I feel like I am tipping to one side.
Oh I see. That's cool that you guys have nicknames. I laughed when you said that Evo's nickname is manlet. I have no idea what you guys consider manlet height. Are you going to any Lion Dances this weekend? I think some restaurants have it.
Lay ho ma?
We went to Spicy City. Some of their dishes have a lot of salt. Had to drink lots of water. You did not get an invite because you don't need to eat anymore. Too much gains for you already. hahahaha... I thought you were cutting this year?
Yes please do upgrade and upload pics. OR you can just tell me your instagram and I'll look there if it is public. I don't have instagram and not going to join one for private pics.
Awww.. I see. He's a squatter. How close were your camera to your body to get the avi pic? Looks pretty big.
Fried chicken? How many pieces? Breast or thighs? wait.. nevermind. Lol. I ate my egg burrito in the cube. Still working away.
Have a great weekend everyone! I have a client meeting at 11pm Saturday night so have to work again.

Damn I didn't realize it was going to rain this weekend. I thought we not going to get any rains until Wednesday. My plan of going to Tet in Chinatown is going to get cancel now.
Glad to hear everything is working out. Are you still planning to leave CA?
What do you consider a manlet? lol
Spicy City or Spicy House? Is that on Convoy? Spicy House got some really good spicy wontons. Geez... would hate to eat out with you with all these complaining about too salty.
What are you calling me fat? ..
The camera is in front of me like how everyone takes a selfie I guess.
Yep, Jolly Bees has some good spicy fried chicken. It was two legs and a tight. Would upload pic if I can. Anyone complains about the smell of your egg burrito since you're eating at your cube? I get blame a lot here since I always eat at my cube too. They even put up a sign that said "no fish or seafood" just so I don't heat them up again. LOL
Dang at 11PM? Where is your client located at? Looks like you gonig to have a busy weekend. Enjoy the down time when you can.If motivation comes in a liquid form, it would be dripping off my fingers tips.

Monday check-in! Hope everyone had a good weekend!
I came across this video when I was doing some research on the belt. He goes through what he did to break in the belt by hand starting around 6:30. It made a real difference softening it up.
Hm, its too bad your gym doesn't have a safety squat bar as a close substitute to front squats. What about holding dumbbells with a neutral grip for front squats? It might ease the strain on your wrists.
Hope that late work meeting went well!
Haha, twin manlets in Cali. Are you in SoCal too Kenshin?If you keep doing what you're doing then all you get is what you've done.

Happy Monday!
I thought it was going to rain this Saturday too but nothing. Stupid weather app. I am not sure what is supposed to be manlet. Whatever answer I give I'm going to get hate so I am keeping my mouth shut. haha... All I know is that my first ex is 5'7 like me and the tallest person I've been with is 5'9.
Spicy City is on Convoy too. It is a really tiny restaurant. Near Jasmine. I have never been to Spicy House. Got to try it now since you said the spicy wontons are good.
Nope I did not called you fat. In your past posts, you called yourself fat. I was just taking your comment and making fun of it. LOL. You can always call me fat too. It's all fun.
How close was the camera in front of you? I know that camera adds 10lbs but damn... LOL... What is a tight? You ate a tight? hahaha..
Nah I heat up my burrito and quickly walk outside to eat at the patio before they catch me. I can understand the seafood part. It does smell pretty bad and I try to avoid that.
My night conference call was at 10pm with our Mexico clients. Went pretty well. Did some data validation for them. So how was Tet if you did go? Did you get any Lai Si up there? Was it super crowded?
Yes it was my fault. I should have look it up instead of just following user's reviews. Well now I know. Thanks for the video!
Yeah my gym does not have the SSB. There is only so much weight I can go with using dumbbells when it comes to front squats. It feels easier with the barbell. Plus like I would go anything over 135 for front squats. I'm just going slow as a snail. Late meeting went well! Thanks!
How was your weekend? Did your son get to see some Lion Dances?

Morning bro!
I'm the slightly older, slightly fatter twin
Nah, I'm in NoCal, but SoCal is my second home.
I'm down there at least once a year.
Evo, I'll be there late August for another cousin's wedding. We gotta get a workout in .. you went sick on me last time
Happy Monday!
Good to see someone other than the standard dudes in here lol## chillin at home crew

I am in Colorado brother. Yes, I cannot wait to leave this state. It's getting out of hand here.
I have reached a plateau and having a hell of a time to break it. It fluctuates a couple pounds. I have to figure something out. Currently 5'5 @ 164 this morning. I may be overdoing. Been doing alot of plyometrics and what not.
If you take a look at Ryan Fischer, that is somewhat the physique I am looking for . He's a manlet 5'5 at around 185..dudes a beast. My age and other health factors may be hindering my progress. I am trying to get my mental health squared away , its difficult on your own. Psycho therapists are BS . I feel the only person who can fix ones self is yourself. They give tools but they don't live it.
Anyway. hope all is well.$★☆-DA BMBC SOLDIER-☆★$

That sig is from a joke in this thread some years back lol
However you got here, glad that you're staying. We need more posters of the fairer sex in here. Otherwise it's rampant testosterone like Evo's or Hosum's
I scrolled back a few pages and saw that you're in software development? Cool, me too. Though I don't really develop much anymore.## chillin at home crew

Well it did rain on Saturday night, just a couple drops of water and that was it. LOL Suppose to be pouring tonight and tomorrow all day. Probably get up to 2 inches today alone.
5'7 is not a manlet is it? I see you like the same size with your partner.
Oh okay, I know which place you talking about it now. Kinda of trendy setting right?
I didn't go to Tet, when I got done with the babyshower, Tet was over. There is always next year. I just want to go there for the snacks, drinks and watching hhhnnngggg in Ao Dai.
Sandbagger alert. You're the stronger manlet too.
Just let me know bro, I hope my lower back doesn't give out on me again.
Those are one post to a couple posts females. They're not regular so they don't count.
What state are you moving to? Why do you hate CO? I thought CO is a really nice state.
What are you shooting for? To get lean or get stronger? Strength is overrated at our age. Save those joints for the old days and go with the shreded look.
Yep, the only person who can fix you is you. Glad you're improving it.

What day is it? Hump Day!!!!
Lol... Evo and Hosum are pretty chill so far. Hosum always have cool food pics.
Yes I am in software development but I also do a little bit of everything else. Love creating new programs and learning different algorithms to do it. Currently my project is to create clusters on our custom web service / cloud so doing mostly installations and configurations. Also helping users in pyspark and jspark.
What do you create or used to create in develoment? Any area you love the most?
Crazy raining in my area now. But we do need the rain though. I just cannot stand the coldness at night. LOL.. Wearing couple of sweaters at night to sleep.
I am not height obsessive like some men on this site. haha.. I like whatever size I like. We all shrink and look the same when we are 65.
Wait.. were you the baby in the babyshower? How many gifts did you get? Lol.. just kidding. Sorry I don't know what Ao Dai is. I am not very good with Vietnamese. If you keep saying hhhnnnnggg but you never come back with one. Too many options?
Oh my... When will Asians learn. LOL. Thanks for the article. I hardly go there for grocery though. I wonder if the market will get a fine or some jail time.
How was your weekend? Watch out for crazy drivers out there.

Happy late, late Friday everyone! Been busy with unproductive meetings and actual work.
LOL! Nothing wrong with 6'1. IMO ( Disclaimer: I do not represent all women so take my opinion as a grain of salt) if you cannot pay your own bills and make good decisions to better yourself (motivation and drive) then having whatever master race height you guys talk about is useless to me. Now go to work. haha..
I can imagine it is very competitive in NoCal right? Companies trying to one up other companies. Managing can be stressful too especially when you have to lay off employees. I rather just be in my cube and code.
I was actually thinking of taking a trip to NoCal in the summer. Always wanted to see Google just for the fun of it. Yes! Big data is new to me but it is a great asset to have on my resume. I like developing MapReduce programs too.
Hope everyone have a great weekend!

I am not even 65 yet but I already shrink a couple inches.
I didn't get a lot of gifts especially yours. Where is my baby gift? I am expecting a gift to be arrived with a la si bundle together.
I don't think Zion will get fail time, but they will have to pay a huge fine for sure and be on the watch list.
So glad we are getting some extra rains than we normally get. We need it big time. More is coming for Thursday and Friday.
Guess what, I went to have that baked catfish wrap again. We ordered an XXL and just had enough for 4 person with some extra toward the end.

Managing has its own challenges but can be very rewarding as well. But sometimes, I do envy individual contributors as the singular focus makes things simpler.
The Googleplex is pretty cool.
I want to see the Apple spaceship, but I'm sure it's closed to outsiders. Unless there's a tour or something.
Hey bro, congrats on 300k!!
The most I ever got a car up to was 110k.## chillin at home crew
