so painting with a pigeon is a lot harder than it sounds
I love how calm and static it is when you’re dipping its legs in the paint.
chopper is a very unwilling artist
Greatest medium. All future installments of MGDMT will be drawn in pigeonpaint.

From what I understand, you’re actually supposed to do that. I’ve been told by numerous weightlifters to do the same to my callouses, going so far as to sand them down with one of those foot file things or scrape them off with a butter knife. The idea is apparently to leave just enough thickened skin to protect your hands, while removing any ‘flaps’ that might catch and rip in the middle of training.
Which reminds me — I really need to take better care of my hands.
“Hey, I was wondering — do your tits get in the way when you lift?”“No more than my dick does.”
Also cleaned up to 57kg (wow, terrible), push pressed 45kg for reps, did some high pulls, and squatted 200x5x2 and then a triple at the same weight. But that’s not important right now.

I expected to watch this and shed a nostalgic tear, instead I cried tears of laughter.

Lion Rock Fortress in Sri Lanka
I feel like this belongs on the front page of madsciencerealestate.com
Not terribly exciting or tough today, but it was incredibly hot and the stadium and gym were both closed and I got a quad cramp and whine whine whine boo excuses whatever.
I seem to have discovered a formula:
(eat lots) + (squat lots) + (sleep lots) = ERR: NO DATA. Impossible, will never ever happen.
(eat lots) + (squat lots) - (sleep lots) = get fat, stall out on lifts, but recover decently
(squat lots) - (eat lots) + (sleep lots) = dizziness
(squat a little) - (eat lots) + (sleep lots) = doable, but pathetic
(squat lots) - (eat lots) - (sleep lots) = rad as hell squat session, but then be incapable of moving for the next ~24hrs.
Seriously. I’m not that sore today, surprisingly, but I’m fucking tired. The plan was to do some snatching yesterday as well, along with conditioning, but instead I went home and had a 14hr nap, while on the phone and while there was a frat party going on next door.
Now it’s 2PM and I’ve done little more than eat and browse the internet.
Victory?
EDIT:
Other things:
FUCKING FINALLY. Ass-to-grass, high-bar, belted. Felt fucking beautiful, although 102 was a teeny bit of a grind after two consecutive dropped attempts at 105.
Getting strong again feels good. Getting stronger than I was before I fucked myself up? Awesome.
Since Fitocracy has this handy-dandy posting function, I guess I’ll include the log here with my notes, but I’ll put it behind a cut to minimize irritation.

Beautiful.
*Man walks into a store and finds employee*Man: Alright, I’ve had enough. Why haven’t you guys hired me?!
Employee: Uh…well sir, when did you put in your application?
Man: I never filled out an application.
Employee: Well sir, we can’t consider you for employment if you’ve never filled out an application.
Man: No, that’s bullshit, because I’ve been coming here for years now, and every single time I tell you all how much I love this store and how much I appreciate your customer service, unlike some of your other customers might I add!
Employee: Well, but that doesn’t-
Man: AND I even told you that I didn’t have a job!
Employee: But sir, that doesn’t indicate to us that you would like a job at our store. And again, if you’ve never filled out an application, we can’t consider you. Besides, we’re not hiring.
Man: OH! Not hiring, HA! What a laugh. I see your store go through seasonal workers all the time. They come and go like nothing, but you won’t consider me as a part-time employee even though I KNOW you’ve been looking for workers to fill positions? That’s insane!Employee: Sir, we’ve been looking to hire a few people for management positions. Do you have any management experience?
Man: Well no, but what does that matter?
Employee: …Well sir, that’s what we’re looking for. You won’t be suitable for the position without management experience.
Man: Oh that’s such a load of crap. You know, you’ll be waiting around a long time for a manager if you don’t lower your standards a little. Who cares if someone knows how to manage a store? I LOVE this store and I’m willing to work here, that’s all that should matter to you.Employee: That…doesn’t make any sense.Man: NO! I’m done. This is over. From now on, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Employee:
Man:
Employee:
Man: Fuck you, slut.I’m pretty certain this conversation has actually happened at least once at our Comic Store. ‘WHY WON’T YOU HIRE ME I’M HERE ALL THE TIME AND I LOVE IT’ ‘Well you don’t really have what we’re looking for/we’re not hiring right now’ ‘BUT I LOVE IT’

Thanks, lifting. It was already hard enough to find pants with the quads and shit and now you’re giving me glute hypertrophy, too?!
What do.
I dont like this “you wont get bulky” thing because the idea of ‘bulk’ is the same as ‘tone’ or ‘long and lean’. Its a subjective...
I don’t know what happened.
Stay in one place your whole life. Always order vanilla even though the menu is four pages long....
