a deload week was welcomed after a stretch of very heavy lifting especially with deadlifts. on some days, the deadlift numbers hits a hundred kilogram which is close to my previous max. this plate moved nice and fast today by far the fastest i’ve ever moved sixty kilograms. i hope the next time i’m testing for my maxes, that i will hit the goal i had set since my knee injury. it might take another cycle of two, but i’m enjoying the process while i can

day 3499 – apex team

this was the meet i was suppose to compete at, but i pulled out because my plate was overloaded and i think it was a healthier decision for both me and my body. i hit up raincity after work to support my teammates. it’s still nice to be in the environment hanging around a community with like-minded people. just being here inspires me to work harder and hopefully be able to achieve more than what i can do now

day 2565 – deadlift work

deadlift volume increased in the monday workout. did both conventional and single deadlifts and made it more difficult by pairing them with pullups and barbell rows. i almost didn’t finish my required twenty five pullups, but i did in the end, though not in my best form. my cart fronts felt good early on so i was given the go ahead to try it off air track onto red pulled off the floor. though i didn’t end up doing any on the floor and also shocked my knee while practicing, i thought i made progress having tried with different setup

day 2530 – regular squats

steady progress of my injured knee continues in my garage. i’m excited to be off the box squats and onto regular squats. taking the advice and making adjustments to my stance the past few sessions to make it more sustainable to taking on heavier weights in the long run. the knee itself felt pretty good, but the groin was a different issue. good enough to do four sets with a plate on the bar. had a special guest join us for today’s session; i must say he was quite the entertainment. he did however make it difficult, so some of the workout got cut short

day 2044 – ceramics retrieval

i was excited to collect my ceramics from last week’s culture event but disappointed the paint didn’t turn out the way i wanted it to. i had no idea the black paint would overpower the purple and pink stars. the purple spider web bowl, however, turned out quite cool. also super disappointed there’s no flipping for me today since both my ankles are busted and need to be rested. instead, i spent my time at the office working overtime to rush for the kits renders. i’m pushing hard to play hockey on friday even though my chiro is shaking his head

day 1349 – rebuilding

the plate seems a lot heavier than weeks ago. my body still feels so out of sync from neck down after the accident. the many recent mishaps caused so many disruptions to my progress which is making me more impatient day after day. i’m still trying to rebuild but that won’t happen unless my body is recalibrated and it doesn’t help when i can’t seem to fall asleep and stay asleep at night

day 991 – who’s this??

had no idea i could afford a tesla until today. tesla is one of those cars that i would like to test drive, but not one that i would put all my money in even if i had the money. still working towards that dream car of mine that remains to be so far out of reach. in the meantime, i can only drool about it and perhaps looking at the pictures may make myself work harder to close the gap
