Yeah pretty bloody good Sunday
Still really weird, and mind and body are being shocked to the core by this Niagara farking Falls of feelings that have been surpressed for almost 5 years. Impossible to describe. Anyway she trains 7-8 times a week so I'll have to up my game!Legs today. Good session. Warming up all the time now with ab superset. That's leg raises front chin up bar then on dip section. Works the abs better than anything I've ever done. You have to feel that burn and you definitely feel it with that.
-
Shoulders today. Not bad. Goddam bench collapsed when doing lying delt raises. All good, but that shit shouldnt happen.
Have to eat more. Haven't been able to eat properly recently and when you're on the limit things can change pretty rapidly.
-
Wednesday: went to oval around lunchtime. 10 laps, 5 with 10 pullups, dips and leg swings. Smashed it. Was awesome.
Thursday: Chest and biceps. Had some time today and that made a difference. Excellent.
Friday: back and triceps. Bit sore from the epicness of yesterday but went OK.
Best week trainingwise in a while. Actually best week in a very long time as well.
-
Saturday: Eldest has been farking around at school again so I had him training for his future jobs. Started with cleaning bathrooms and toilets then bins, then vaccuming house and car. Hopefully that will have an impact. At the very least I get a clean house and car every Saturday.
Sunday: 10km jog in late afternoon. Very nice.
Monday: Legs. Also very nice.
Tinder update: Getting on very well with the woman I have met. It's impossible to describe what it's like to be with another woman after 19 years. Frightening and wonderful at the same time. Good thing we have strong hearts in my family because I don't think a weak ticker would have taken it. Anyway want to get off this app, but it's still very early days. I have become a fan though and it's far better than the alternatives of hitting a bar or being set up.
-
Tuesday: shoulders. On point, although slight twinge towards the end.
Wednesday: Hit oval before lunch. 10 laps 5 with 10 pullups, 10 dips and 15 leg ups. Good shit. -
Chest and back. Very good. No farking around. The way it should be.
-
Where are we.
Sunday usual oval run plus pullups etc but ended with JK's push up sprints. Farking tore me to bits.
Today: Legs. Very good actually.
This whole getting out of the house for once thing is resulting in much more beer consumption. I had 6 this week. That's nearly one a day! Have to up the cardio.

Damn. 8 days.
All going pretty well. Only change was bush hike on Sunday. Absolutely beautiful. Upwards trail towards best view of Brisbane. Why tf I don't do it regularly is beyond me.
Monday: Legs. Nice.
Tuesday: Shoulders. NiceTinder update. Getting a bit stupid and addictive. Getting matches is a nice feeling so no doubt that triggers a massive and long suppressed need that is now bubbling to the surface like farging liquid magma. I'm technically with someone now, but the long gaps between each meetup mean I invariably gravitate back to the app and arrange more dates. 4 this week, which is utterly ridiculous. I think I'm hedging my bets until it's 100% confirmed with the current one. I have zero idea about the rules of engagement these days, i.e. how often you should text, how fast to reply, expectations, when you can say you're officially together. Shit she could well be seeing others too. It's very distracting and bewildering for someone like me.
One of the wonderful things about being happily married was that I could avoid shit like this.
-
Wednesday: 10 laps plus 15 dips, 15 leg raises, 10 pullups x 5.
Thursday: Chest and biceps. Great session this one.
Friday: Hurting a bit after Thursday so a bit lighter on the back, with some good triceps training.
-
Weekend was a bit slack. Active, but had long walk instead of run on Sunday. Have a Sony Xperia and can't get a farking case for it. Stoopid.
Made up for it with row plus push ups and 4km run this morning then good leg session.
-
Tuesday: shoulders. Very nice.
Wednesday: Too drained for cardio day because of other stuff. Didn't care.
Thursday: Chest and biceps. Normally this is my favourite day but had to go at lunch and encountered an appalling character who I was hoping to never see again. This is one of those guys who is often at the gym but doesn't train or eat properly and spends most of his time talking to everyone. The added bonus is that he's a disgusting antisemite and racist (a genuine racist who should be exhibited to SJWs as an example of what a racist actually is). Apparently the Jews are responsible for feminism and the blacks are all monkeys. Hadn't seen the fucker for ages but somehow he knew about my wife. He's 50 and married to a 25 year old Filipino (he's one of those racists) and told me that she had a friend who was great at cooking and cleaning and good at sucking cock. Considering this guy is a nutter and I didn't want trouble I politely told him that I didn't need his help but then he proceeded to crap on about his wife's tight pussy. Fucking degenerate. There were females around us as well while he was talking. So a very unpleasant experience all round. -
@rancid-schnitzel jaysus, what an awful human being. Good luck dodging that fucker in the future!

The sick bastard trains at about 11:30 so just know to avoid him then. Thank christ he's not there at my usual time. I'd probably report him. He's straight out repulsive.

I second that.
However I'd like to meet the wife.
-
@catogrande and her friend!!
-
Went at usual time and degenerate was thankfully absent. My skin crawls just thinking of him.
Back and tris. Very nice.
-
Saturday: Normally don't train on Saturday mornings but was meeting a woman who is just starting one of those 8 week challenges so felt the need to impress her.
So did the oval run with pullups etc. Was farking cold actually, even for Brisbane. Had to keep jumper on and hands were going numb until I started the pullups. Very good.
Date went well, although not sure if there's anything long term there. I just really want to see the body after 8 weeks 🤤. It's farking hardcore. Training most days plus 1200 calories for the chicks.
But no more Tinder updates. I'm off that now. Too much of a distraction and was getting beyond a joke. But I'm definitely a fan. Swipe right from me.
-
Monday: Legs. Not too bad.
Tuesday: Shoulders. Nice. Farking cold this morning. Felt bad about kids doing swimming, but eldest deserves a bit of pain right now. Damn teenager is doing my head in.
