"How's your first week going?" my colleague across the hall asked me on Thursday. I told her the hot bananas story, and she laughed and agreed. I am hoping the bananas level will ease down to warm this week, but we shall see.
I did not work out all week (because: bananas, so many bananas and so hot), and then I waltzed into the gym today and pulled a deadlift PR: 160 for 2. Joe thinks I could get to 200 pretty speedily but I took a video of myself lifting 160 and I think he may be optimistic there. I took the video expecting the bottom part of each rep to be the problematic bit, but my form on the bottom half looks fine to me. The top half of each rep, however, looks like garbage: I am laboring to lock out 160. But lock it out I did! Nevertheless she persisted, huzzah!
Have you read This Is How You Lose The Time War? It was recommended by someone whose judgment I respect, and so I was a little surprised to find it pretentious, with a twist that seemed obvious from far away. There is a very emphatic community of people who love this book, though, so tell me what you liked about it if you have read it and disagree with my assessment.
I have the feeling that I was going to tell you some more things, my friends, but as I sit here typing I can feel myself sliding into a state of torpor that is unlikely to yield any especially scintillating blog content. I am going to throw up this quick and fairly random post, and come back soon.
