Today’s post-fracture work

Box Squat
1x5 20kg, 40kg, 60kg, 80kg
1x1 90kg
3x5 100kg
Bench Press
1x5 20kg, 40kg, 60kg
1x1 70kg
3x5 80kg
Deadlift
1x1 60kg, 80kg, 100kg, 120kg, 130kg
1x2 135kg
1x3 130kg

Jesus, that was a handy enough day! My belt snapped halfway through my second 135kg rep, and I had difficulty using the gym’s belts, so I moved down 5kg for safety’s sake. Everything else was v. nice, though. This gym is less warm and stuffy than the one in college, so training is lovely. I hit two personal milestones today (2plate squat, 1.5plate bench), so I say roll on the next session!

Jesus, it’s been an eventful week in powerlifting. Eric Spoto just broke the world record for raw bench press with 722lbs/327.5kg, and Dan Green just smashed the world record for raw total in the 242lbs/107.5kg weight class with 2160lbs/960kg. Holy shit.

All Things Will Die

Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing

Under my eye;
Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing

Over the sky.
One after another the white clouds are fleeting;
Every heart this May morning in joyance is beating

Full merrily;
Yet all things must die.
The stream will cease to flow;
The wind will cease to blow;
The clouds will cease to fleet;
The heart will cease to beat;
For all things must die.
All things must die.
Spring will come never more.
O, vanity!
Death waits at the door.
See! our friends are all forsaking
The wine and the merrymaking.
We are call’d–we must go.
Laid low, very low,
In the dark we must lie.
The merry glees are still;
The voice of the bird
Shall no more be heard,
Nor the wind on the hill.
O, misery!
Hark! death is calling
While I speak to ye,
The jaw is falling,
The red cheek paling,
The strong limbs failing;
Ice with the warm blood mixing;
The eyeballs fixing.
Nine times goes the passing bell:
Ye merry souls, farewell.
The old earth
Had a birth,
As all men know,
Long ago.
And the old earth must die.
So let the warm winds range,
And the blue wave beat the shore;
For even and morn
Ye will never see
Thro’ eternity.
All things were born.
Ye will come never more,
For all things must die. 

— Alfred Lord Tennyson

There is a Facebook group called “Say NO to White Genocide”. And one of my FB friends just liked one of their statuses. Swear to god, what the fuck.

You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you, and you’re scared shitless to do anything else because that might mean you’d have to change.
