Weights Cycle is done, lift hard the cycle

 I completed my first 4 week cycle today.

I didn't go all out on the max, because there was no building phase. That said, I did 4 reps safety bar squat as my faux peak. It felt pretty strong.

OLD -> NEW

Monday

DB press 4 reps at 140 pounds->Press off the rack, starting at 170 pounds to max

Safety bar squat gripping rack 4x285 pounds->Seated good mornings 4x?

->5 sets One side farmer walk, partial grip (two fingers, tips of fingers, from set to set) 50 lbs. Last set will be full grip 100 lbs.

Will continue OH Cable side bends, as it felt like it took a few weeks to start doing them right. 50 lbs 


Thursday. High rep work (mostly ALACTIC_

GHR ->  2-1 Ham Curl

Continue the safety bar half squat gripping rack, (this progressed well, I don't think I've maxed it out)

Standing cable crunch -> hanging Leg Raise replaces   I really liked this crunch

Clavicular Flyes -> Hi incline Press, machine,

Incline Crunch -> Lesser reps, to pad out the hanging crunches as hanging prob limiter.

Machine Adductors (Again)

Vegetables

 I am changing my mind from an optimising nutrition view towards a ray peat view of vegetables.  The optimising nutrition view is that getting nutrients with low amounts of calories is an unalloyed win.

Its much easier to get your RDAs on 3500 calories a day as opposed to 2800.   Ray peats view, is that plants evolved to kill us if we ate them, so we should avoid them. His starting point was a study designed to counter concerns about carcinogenic chemicals in manufactured products. It showed that many plants were as mutagenic as the industrial agents, with the point being that they were as safe as all natural plant products. RP took that to show that plants were somewhat dangerous. He reasoned that being immobile they would evolve chemical defenses to protect themselves - poisons of variou...

Battle for the 25th Century

 I've started introducing my boys to the games I liked as a Kid. I started with space 4X. I played MoO1 and MoO2. Those games are dated so I introduced them to what I consider the spiritual successors.  For MoO1 it is Sword of the Stars, for streamlined management and a focus on war, not building like almost all other 4Xs.  For MoO2 it is stars in shadow. It is a building focused game. Its building system is much improved from MoO2. It didn't bother me at the time, but it is a micromanagement hell.

However, the love of my life doesn't like them spending so much screen time. She has a point. Kids need blue skys for good eyes. As much as I liked those games, my development might have been better served with more social entertainment. So I decided instead to buy my kids a space strategy board game. It turns out that they don'...
