  1. Rough week. Weather turned sucky yesterday, so that was like an extra leg day. I took the Monday off due to some much needed heavy drinking on Saturday. Tuesday was intense upperbody pump but nothing actually heavy. Plenty of drop sets with resistance bands for both chest flies and lat pull-downs. Lot of smaller, lighter stuff. Wednesday was trapbar or bust. Last Friday, while I was on my beast mode, I watched the other guy doing trapbar and getting 5 sets of 2x493 and I was thinking "Holy shit, I may not be able to answer that!" But I wasn't going down without a fight. So, my workout was as follows: 5x262, 5x306, 5x372, 5×416, 4x471, 4x493, 3x504, 2x504, 2x504, 3x493, 3x471, 3x449. And the usual shrugs afterwards. So, hell yeah I answered that! Thursday's bench suffered from the drain of the trapbar, but after warm-up, I did 3 clean singles with 280, took it down to 275 did two, 3 with 264 and then a bunch of inconsequential sets with lighter and lighter weights and then pump with 132 at the end. Today it was another, but less intense upperbody pump. The only thing that was at least moderately heavy was two sets (of 12 and 10) of EZ bar curls with 87 lbs. I'm not risking anything, so I won't go heavier than that. Decent pump, anyway, both arms at 16,5 (if that is same as 42cm) inches, but that's still less than they have been, but not that much. Ok, I kinda made this week count. Next week, there will in all likelyhood be 0 workouts, but 3 12-hour shifts plus the biking will make sure I'll be pretty beat by the end of it.
  2. Yesterday, after a hard day of working as well as working out afterwards, I biked home through this slushy ice and slightly melted snow. Only to find that the bike shed's door had been blocked by melted and re-frosen ice between the time I opened it in the morning and coming back home. All the tools to remove the said ice were inside the shed. Was able to get a steel rod from elsewhere so I could bash enough ice to get in and get the usual tools. Also scooped a few buckets of ice water away from the yard so this wouldn't happen again today. During this, I was thinking to myself "C'mon! A prelude to World War 3 OR this bullshit weather, pick one freely, but not fucking both on the same day!"
  3. I fear for Trent Baretta's life. He, on the other hand, does not give a single fuck! The main event was super! Also, Hobbs looked impressive. Good for him.
  4. That's 02:00am over here, so I'll get to it in the morning, I doubt I'll stay awake for another two hours. Just got home from work half an hour or so ago.
  5. Sabrina the Middle-Aged Witch is a Wingperson now?!?
  6. I decided "fuck everything" and went beast-mode today. Well, a moderate beast-mode, anyway. On Monday I skipped the heavy stuff, so I did the dip, shrug, pull-up combo today. 4 sets with 66lbs, 20, 19, 17 and 13 on dips, to failure (didn't count) each time with reverse shrugs and 7, 5, 4 and 3 with pull-ups, 2 sets with 44lbs , 22, 20 dips, 2 times to failure with shrugs and 5 and 5 with pull-ups (getting rather ugly, though), one set with 22 lbs getting whatever. Then on to the Squat-machine. 3 sets of 10 as low as the machine allows and with a stop at the bottom most reps as well as a stretch at the top. Weights were roughly equivalent of 242, 286 and 330. Then 3 sets of calf raises with 330. Then 5 sets of curls with the pairs of 22lb weights. Then abs with a few different hanging moves. I'm fine with this.
  7. The bike rides to work have been kicking my ass this week. Either there is something wrong or I had WAY too much clothing on considering the weather. Omicron has made it to my workplace so that is only a matter of time, at this point, too! Nonetheless, I'm three workouts deep this week and going again in a few hours. I tried not to do the same "mistake" as last week and only did the light, intense stuff on Monday, so as to not mess with Tuesday's bench. Yeah, that didn't really help all that much. I did get up to 286 with one set of two reps, maybe a bit better than last week, but still not clean. 275 was fine for 3 and then I just dropped 11 lbs per set and did two pump sets of 17 and 20 with 154 and 110, respectively at the end. Not great. Wednesday I was beat. Getting to work was rough as shit and the idea of doing Trapbar didn't seem realistic. So, I opted for... Trapbar. Yeah. I decided to only do 3 reps per set no matter the weight, so I could get through it. So, it was 3x196, 3x306, 3x372, 3x416, 3x449, 3x460, 3x471, 3x482 and 3x416 plus shrugs with 306 and 196. Last week was better on this front as well. Not quite sure what I will do today, I have an idea, but I'll update it later, in case I end up doing something else in the end. Anyway, the first couple of months of '22 have not quite been what I expected, workout-wise, but the bloating that happened over the Holidays is pretty much gone. I agreed to split my Winter holiday week in half and use the remaining days later in the spring. So, I'll be doing 3 12-hour shifts (evening and night, no less) so I highly doubt I get any workouts in at the time. So I should make next week count.
  8. Yes, overall a kick ass show! I know it was the first time anyone asked MJF to be their Valentine, but I didn't think he'd be THAT speechless over it! That sad excuse for a wet fart Shawn Spears did absolute fuck-all to help out Wardlow in that match. Less than that, actually! the Inner Circle tag was good, shouldn't Santana &Ortiz win one of those battle royals now? Mox will fight Brian before he can decide if he is worth teaming up with. Smart! John Kreese, you fucker! Main event, holy crap! Rosa and Martinez kicked a whole bunch of ass! Doesn't seem like the sky is falling even if Cody isn't there.
  9. Besides the point, but even that doesn't properly describe Cole's physique, though. I mean obviously he's in great shape cardio-wise, so skinny fat or dad bod seems kinda inaccurate. Petite, diminutive or elfin on the other hand...
  10. Yeah, I was like they wouldn't... would they? Maybe at Revolution?
  11. Holy fuck, that shirt! I wonder who is the asshole who keeps following Cody and igniting it once more, after he's left?
  12. On the off chance that Hook will be in the Ladder match, I wonder if they could pull off a spot with Keith Lee, where Lee does the huge Jessica Biel throw across the ring towards the corner but Hook lands on his feet in the corner and does his disgruntled face pose while leaning on the top turnbuckle?
  13. Many of the same letters, for sure! Anyway, overall this was a very good show, but watching straight after this week's Dynamite, it was a bit much. That being said. I liked everything I saw. Gunther vs Solo Usoa before moving on to Bron should be a worthwhile distraction.
  14. In that case, fuck Excalibur right in the nose!
  15. It sure looked as is something was coming out of the darkness at the end of the promo, there! And I'll tell you this right now, if it's Buddy Matthews and it leads to Buddy vs PAC in the near future, I will cancel WWE Network for a month at Wrestlemania time as a token of my appreciation!
  16. Yeah, not too long ago, I took a rather long hike on Brian Cage and there was no indication of any trouble. (I mean, some backne and gyno obviously, but those were only in places you'd expect them to be, so I wasn't alarmed) And if losing Cody comes with the possibility of getting Buddy Matthews in his place, that is a trade I'm willing to make.
  17. Well, that would make up for the sweat we were about to go without, when Shane got fired. I'd say they'd cover 100% of it. Yup all covered in sweat.
  18. Watching the Thanksgiving Dynamite and while there are plenty of amazing things to see here, it cannot be stated enough that damn I wish there was another way aside from constant needling of one's backside to age as frigging gracefully as Billy Gunn. He looks way better here than in any of his WWE comebacks since 2014. Also, the wonderful leathery tone of his skin is a work of art! Also, after the tag match in question, Sting walked to the ramp and Austin charged at him like a bullet, then Darby intercepted him like a missile out of nowhere, leaving Austin knocked the F out! The way he just kept lying down lifeless while Sting and Allin continued towards the ring was simply amazing!
  19. Back in OVW his catchphrase used to be "It's all about the Shelton Benjamin", but no idea whether he ever used the song on any non taped outings or anything at the time?
  20. Speaking of knee injuries, is there any info yet on how badly Jake Atlas was hurt in his match against Adam Cole a while back?
  21. Thanks! I was trying to pinpoint that '97 one, but that's what it was! I was thinking maybe that RAW match against Mankind that kinda led to the formation of DX, but yeah, it must have been the Hell in a Cell one!
  22. Yeah, I was placing those gears at '92 and '97, respectively. Wouldn't it have made more sense to give tribute to Billy Gunn's '93 and '98 gear instead? Oh well, they were cool outfits all the same.
  23. Anyway, these Young Buck guys seem kind of annoying, but they are really exciting at tag team wrestling. If they stick around for awhile they may become something yet. They may end up making a buck or two, pun very much intended.
