Ryan's Journal

Heheh....There are some things that don't need further discussion, so I don't think you'll be missing out on much.

I'm feeling positive effects of full-body training and less study stress already. I've got more energy now than I've had for the last 4 months.
 
Need to work on that grip man. If wanting to avoid straps I would suggest a chalk ball, climbing style. This absobs sweat and some greasy residue that ends up on your hands and every bar. There is however nothing wrong with using straps.
 
I use chalk on the first 2 work sets and the down set. First work set is left hand over, right hand under (I do this first, because I'm weaker in this position), second work set is right hand over, left hand under, then I let myself use straps on the third set to get some more work in without doing more reps one way than the other, so as to minimise imbalances. I held the bar static at the top of the very last rep at 102.5kg...not sure how long for. More time under tension, more grip work, is good. That, plus strapless RDLs and farmer's/suitcase walks and fat gripz rows should see some positive effects.
 
I like them on rows. I tried them on deadlifts once, and even with 60kg couldn't get the bar moving. Haven't tried them on anything else.
 
They do these things. It does create a fair bit of confusion at times.

I went to my cousin's wedding on Saturday. Between 9 and 11 pm I did something that very vaguely resembled dancing, which left my core quite fatigued.
 
Offers like that (chalking) generally depend on your status, single etc. and the gnder of the person offering.

When I was younger and went out with friends fairly often I would tend to take the mick if there was dreadful music. this would often result in people imitating me to take the mick out of me, until I demonstrated a more complex move then handed over to them. Realisation that to dance very badly can take talent too is hard received. Ballet and contemporary are great for the core work, give them a go if you want.
 
I watched the worst game of peek-a-boo ever tonight. Enjoy never sleeping again.

I know s/he gets plenty of protein, fruit and vegetables. Some curls would be helpful, and definitely something for the chest.

ETA: In case the reference is missed, that monster spends most of its time sitting at a table covered in food, but has a particular taste for live children.
 
When we got to that scene in Pan's Labyrinth last night, my brother said: "We don't like to talk about him, but this is Voldemort's cousin."

I actually thought that that thing might haunt my dreams, but the only nightmare I had last night was cleaning my room, which wasn't so much a nightmare in and of itself, except that it meant I experienced doing all this work and then waking up and finding that I still sleep in a hole in which only I am sufficiently adapted for survival.
