Ryan's Journal

We all have films like that, guilty pleasures are they are sometimes called.
Oz is OK but to my mind the future evil witch is too weak an actress to pull it off.
Enjoy the comp even if not taking part.
Just wanted a photo with a cow, pull the udder one.
 
Future evil witch?
Moove over, that joke was terrible.
 
So you're referring to Oz the Great and Powerful? I actually saw that recently and loved it, because instead of just charging into a 45min battle interchangeable with every LOTR movie and 9/10 war movies, he wizarded all over the place. Just needed to clarify what you were talking about. The actress has done well in various other roles, but there was something off about her character in this one. I'm not sure if it's so much the acting as it is the script and plot she had to work with -- she had to pull a 180 character change halfway through the movie, without any hope of her character waking up to herself, but there wasn't a whole lot of character depth to begin with, and there wasn't much of a descent into wickedness. Her character transition wasn't actually character-driven; it was pretty much entirely something imposed on her, rather than the consequence of experiencing life through her mental framework and having her morals challenged, or anything of that nature. I feel like a rotten scoundrel saying this, but I think StarWars episode 3 did a better job at that aspect of the story (as an aside, I literally just shuddered over the sentiment of StarWars episode 3 doing something better than another movie, because episode 3 was dreadful).
 
Comp was fun. Would have been funner if I were in good health and competing, but that's alright. There was one judge I wanted to slap, though, because she was calling out lifters for putting their thumbs over the bar rather than around on the squat, when the rule books clearly say that thumbs around is a rule for bench press, but make no such statements on the squat.
 
It is one of the unfortunate things with powerlifting as a sport. The judges are often just random people not specifically people with knowledge of the sport.
 
I don't want your DOMS so I am afraid you will have to keep it. Sharing knowledge of your pain is one thing, the actual pain is just not on.
I barely feel any aches at all. Not happy about that. will be doing bench press session this evening though so will ache tomorrow.
Is it strange that I don't ache and am unhappy?
 
But I like sharing actual pain. Giving people pain always make me so happy..

I think it's fairly common amongst lifters to be dissatisfied with a lack of DOMS.
 
It isn't as if talking about it helps, but you know we know how you feel and can commiserate. For what it's worth, I am feeling yesterday's upper body workout in my shoulders and neck, and between the acupuncture session and this morning's rock tossing run, I'm feeling the hammy. I can definitely commiserate!
 
Good to see you are back to training. Hate being ill, for the impact it has.
