Lifting for 2-7-11

I hate rain. I hate it in winter, I hate it in summer. Why do people dislike snow when rain just all-around sucks?

195 felt more solid than it did the last time around.

For the last set of bench, I based whether to attempt the last rep on the fourth rep. If it was non-grindy, I’d go for it. Banged it out. Slow, steady, pleasing progression.

Today’s pull definitely eliminated a mental block. On the third rep, I thought, “I got this. Go for five.” But after/during the fourth pull, I felt like I should be safe and just stop. I’ll get the fifth rep on Friday.

Not counting fifth rep(s) on second and third sets of row. Form was compromised, that sort of drop of the chest to meet the bar.

You actually digged through my archive and found that silly survey? Nope. There were no notes on that entry before you bombarded it. I activated private notes during a phase with a boy and I let it stay because…well, I’m secretive. Muahaha. Yep, V is my favourite letter. It stands for Varsha, my sister’s name, vagina ;), vivid, vivacious…I digress.

Oh, and I found out what skinny dipping was a few days after. I didn’t know it was done in groups though. :O

Okay, wait, I did have notes on that entry, but that was months back.

Ryn: Nope, I’m a mesomorph. I can easily gain and lose fat, I have a fairly muscular body and a body shape between rectangle and hourglass.

Sorry I haven’t been around. Lifes a bitch this semester.

Lmao, I’m anything but a twig. 😛 Hmm…Shreya is like a twig. And she’s ridiculously easy to hug. Haha. I love her (:

Ryn: Hmm. I’d break world records in what? 😮

Ryn: Oh. *smacks forehead* Aw, you hate rain? That sucks. On so many levels. *hinthint*
