lol dog

Download the "Chessbypost" ap for your phone/tablet. It is real user friendly. You just move when you feel like it. I was playing with RealBusto for a while, but he is only moving 1x every 3 days now, so games are dragging too long.


My SN is quickben99

I'm not going to download a separate app just to play you. You can keep posting moves itt though! I will try to play the game semi-blind without putting anything on a board.

Your idea sounds like a lot more work than downloading an app to your phone And playing on said ap IMO.

Yugo seems like he's already in grumpy dad mode

You don't score extra points for being ahead of the curve

Lol.

It is more work but it is work I'd put in on visualization which I don't train enough. Getting and tracking a game vs qb on a separate app is more administrative work rather than anything helpful for chess development. Anyway, ill play on chess.com but I know you don't play on that.

Going to start logging again. I've been supposed to lift 3x a week but it's been more like 1, on average. I did have a few weeks where I couldn't really lift to bring that average down but, whatever, need to get back into a better routine.

Last 3 workouts:

5/20
Pendlay row 195x5x3, 155x5x5
Pullups bw x5x5, planks

5/21
DL 315x2x2, 245x3x5 beltless, planks

5/22
Incline bench 140x5x2, x7, 115x5x5
Tried press 75x8x3, x7x2
Bb curls 60x10x5

I probably should also construct some sort of program, or go down in weight and run SS properly (or GSLP or something like that). Not really sure what to do, tbh. I don't want to lift for longer than an hour and want something for 3/week and if I only get in 2, it accommodates that. I could always try to do something like 5/3/1 and/or juggernaut but I really don't think that works very well for me unless I spend a lot of time on the workout doing a ton of extra accessory stuff.

my man

Cool to see there is massive support for my elite-level log about jellydick weights, wheelspinning, and lifting at home.

Thanks guys!

Can we get video of your baby watching you lift and then shaking her head sadly in shame and disgust?

She hasn't even watched me lift yet. I'm that big of an embarrassment.

My dog still runs when I start lifting. But he cannot tell the difference in noise between 10lbs being dropped and 1,000lbs being dropped. I mean, he probably can but they all sound like serious business to him.

5/28
Pendlay row 195x5x2, 195x7, 155x5x5
Pullups bw x5x5, bent over flyes

Sick for 2 weeks then was in Las Vegas for a chess tournament with family.

I did lift the last day I was there, though!

6/27 log

5 sets of:
50lbs DB incline bench (8-12 reps)
neutral grip pullups (5 reps)
50lbs DB tricep pull thingies (like rippletoe but with DBs instead of BB) (10-15 reps)

4 sets of:
50lbs DB rows
37.5lbs facepulls (~15 reps)

6/30 log

DL 315x2, x1, x1

Wife and I are going to try to trade off nights since our daughter seems to want to drink from a bottle in the evenings anyway. So perhaps we can both start lifting 3xweek now regularly.

I just downloaded the newest malazan book called Fall of Light (which is actually a prequel).

Unfortunately I haven't read any Malazan in a few years and have forgotten everything's do have no clue what is going on.

Have you Read (listen) to any good fantasy lately? I just finished the first law series. It was ok, nothing great. I am actually eagerly aWaiting the 6th Prince of Nothing book coming out in a few weeks.

Hmmmm. What I've enjoyed most so far this year is ambercrombies shattered sea trilogy lol. Have you tried prince of thorns trilogy yet?

No, I was actually considering starting that though (prince of thorns). peobabky after is Malayan book and the prince of nothing one.

I didn't hate the first law series. Just didn't like it enough that I am in any hurry to read another Abercrombie series.

That's how I felt after the trilogy fwiw. Let me know how the malazan book is. And also pon, one been waiting for that for what feels like George rr Martin time

Lifted yesterday. Finally feeling healthy (for now...). I think I'm going to do GSLP (with incline bench instead of press) starting at ~50% of what my max was a few months ago. Perhaps that way I can keep sessions quick and easy and get into a good habit/routine. So weak and fat right now probably anything will work.

Sad to see this former S&F stalwart reduced to a typical American Dadbod.

Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement.
