Today feel great. My chalk came in and made big difference. My grip was holding me back.

Big power.



Shoulder still in pain. I upgrade my insurance and once that kicks in I am going to set up pt. 6 weeks of nonsense and I will get my mri. I am sure a ligament is torn.

heart. that's you unconditioned and injured?

Ya all I do is squat and DL at the moment. Then at the end my sessions, I’ll try out the bench press to see where my shoulder is at but no improvement yet on pain.

I’ve been jogging here and there but not committed... Need loco or a bet to make it happen. No discipline when it comes to cardio.

Eating whatever. I used to track food to the gram but my lost heart in that division. Don’t know what happened. Need EV for that category.

Underestimating my 1@8. Not sure if warming up wrong. But feel stronger as I do sets. Weird.

Squat feel good. Pause DL too.

Need to fix my neck. I always look into mirror and it’s been giving me neck pain lately. Think it’s compressed. I always wondered why some dudes squat in the squat rack backwards. They try not to look in the mirror. I here this is a skill. I give it a try next session.

Today PR my 3 rep for the deadlift. Not best form but it was after 430x3, and 445x3. Not too worried about it. Pete Rubish says people trying to correct form is what holds them back. He’s never going to pull 900+ with a perfect flat back. Love it.

Adjusting my neck might take some time. Been deadlifting like this all my life. Bad muscle memory. Squat feeling heavy lately. Not sure wtf is going on but my left groin bone keeps clicking. Feels very weird. Might need to visit chiropractor.

That's a big deadlift bro. You probably good for 485. Getting close to 5 wheels bro, that's rarefied kidcolin territory. Too bad he got old and skinny and now hopes to one day hit 4 wheels.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

Neck is fine. Back is round. Lockout is soft. But the weight is impressive. :chathumb:

Ya I purposely lockout like that so I don’t waste energy at the top. My last rep is a full lock out.

Anyways might have to skip DL for next couple of days, I tore my callus and don’t even realize it until I was taking off the weights:

Come on bro, gotta take care of your body to keep making gains

Going to side with my boy ABP and chide xuk for posting a video about MANICURES that has big time FEMININE ENERGY in this log. An ABP has no time for such things when he's on his purpose.

Liking you, monte!

Ain’t nobody got time for hand care . Only metro males do stuff like that and it’s somewhat of a beta behavior. The next thing you know you’re searching for the best vegan hair product on the market.

I’ll just let my man hands do the healing itself.

Feel heavy.

I used a strap for my left hand because of my torn callus for DL. Felt heavy bc of grip problem.

Anal girl sent me some bs reel on IG yesterday. Treated her like a fan and gave her a 3 word response. She still thinking about me, I see 🫣

Work wise the whole district is short and nobody want to work. Other managers been calling me to work. My over time pay is $30/hr and some change. Hopefully I get 55 hour weeks. Money to be made.

See you soon.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

lots of demand for work + lack of supply of workers = increased price of labour.

ask for $35 and make more

Feeling you, feel wrath.

The other store managers have the audacity to ask me to cover 8+ hour shifts after I just got done with a 6-7 hour. You would think they would have some feels in them and maybe not even ask.

I will ask for that 1.75x pay for over time or covering double shifts. Gonna say I ain’t doing your dirty work anymore for under 1.5x pay. I have saved other stores too many times. If it wasn’t for me they would have to close the store early, like 4-5 hours early costing them in sales.

I am now a supervisor and I have the power now. Supervisors are short and in demand. I got the power now.

Nice. N1h probably shutting up the haters and making some dece bank in this labour market. Killin it.

Yeah bro, the managers are pathetic also. No sense of accountability or any decency. I dunno how many times I’ve worked 12 hour shifts. It is mentally draining. They expect you to give customers the greatest experience when they walk in. For 12 facking hours???

I also work with GenZ kids and I have to say they are the laziest group of kids I have ever been around in my lifetime. Common sense not even once. Now I run the show and have to deal with these morons.

This is why I will not work a double shift for my pay rate anymore. Over time is 1.5x. If I work a double I will ask for 1.75x. Just not worth my time and really bad for my mental head.

N1H do you have any thoughts on Gen Z kids and their fascination with tiktok and people streaming on twitch.tv?

I have not managed to interact with any Gen Z's in the anglosphere because I left 7 years ago. I'm curious what they're like in person, honestly. All the articles I read paint them as living on the internet where the real world is some sort of extension to the "real life" which is the internet, they are super depressed/socially ******ed, and nearly asexual.

Chinese Gen Zs are honestly an absolute delight and by far my favorite demographic to interact with in this country. They are not really weird or dysfunctional at all as a cohort.

Apparently iPad parenting is resulting in an increase of non-verbal children (not autism related) + speech problems in Elbonia, which I thought was totally wild. Apparently now that late game millennials are breeding, we're really ****ed.

Booming profession for teaching "young adults" how to interact with one another tho.

They are very lazy. They don’t want to work. Money to be made elsewhere like TikTok and YouTube. Don’t be shocked when there is a shortage of doctors and nurses in about 10-15 years or so, and corona 2 starts. More will die because this generation of kids are facking stupid and don’t want to put in the work. No vaccine will be made. These days it’s all about validation on TikTok.

The other day this worker mopped the bathroom and didn’t even change the mop soak water and started to rub that piss water behind the bar. Where we work. I facking told her to change the water right now. Not gonna lie, Americans put in half ass work. It’s not even funny how lazy some of these kids are. Common sense not even once. Also they are very ignorant about hygiene. This minor we have dropped the shaker lid. She picked it up and rinsed it in our rinser(now that is dirty because of cross contamination), and just tossed it back on the dry rack. You have got to be facking kidding me. Just thank god the 2 customers waiting for their drink didn’t see that.
