damn, y'all be repping 225lb bench for 10+ reps, that's definitely 3-5min rest territory. if you're popping it for 10+ reps, you're max is 295-315, that's top 1-2% of most gyms, that's some heavy ass weight.
gymflation got ppl thinking 3 plates is the new 2 plates
but at 225lbs, if I am doing 10+ reps on set 1, and take 90 seconds, set 2 is gonna be less than 3-5 reps, with 3.5-5 mins, you can pop maybe 8-9 reps
I think the bigger thing for me is which order I do them in... if I do bench first, I do better... if I do chest press and shoulder press before I get to the bench or even free weights then I fatigue a lot faster and can't get the reps in, dropoff for 2nd set is severe at that point.
I have to admit though, the physique of some of the people I see doing 2 plates at the gym very much surprises me on the regular... smaller guys that I would think could do it or just straight up chubs. Like I find myself double-taking to check they're 45 plates not 25/35 hahaha
Missed my workouts on Weds and Fri but I got a good excuse!
What was a sore throat on Weds morning turned into painful swallowing (I could only eat soft foods like bananas) on Thursday turned into an ER visit on Friday where I was immediately admitted. The triage nurse candidly told me she was surprised I was still able to breathe upon seeing how swollen - my throat had become infected and swollen so much that much of it had become blocked. Blood tests, x-rays, and a CT scan ensued.
An IV round of steroids, painkillers, and antibiotics later and I'm recovering. I've got a IV attached to me still as I have to go in for 4-5 more rounds of IV anitibiotics (oral ones take too long). My pee is resoundingly dark yellow/orange and I basically adopted red_kryptonite calorie deficit for 3 days so I'm down about 4-5lbs in 3 days - I can drink again but it'll probably be a few days before I eat normal foods.
On the plus side I got to experience the new ER wing at Burnaby General - it was their first day open. Nice place - newer hospitals make so much more effort to provide patients with privacy and they feel so much more comfortable. Also, as always, the staff are great (as it's always been in my experience). All of this for $0 (beyond my taxes) - it's a great deal.
Also, I'm going to update my will so you guys can get all my car stuff - it's not a lot but it's something. I'll have dukes assigned as the executor for that stuff.

Wow, that's terrible. Was this a sinus infection? I just recovered from a really bad sinus infection that only tapered off over a month's time but it was nowhere near what you described.
Knowing how much my wife hates her job I would imagine there'll be a lot of crying especially after the payout.

How did I become the executor of your will?
They didn't put a name to it but it was closer to tonsillitis. They figured it was food debris that got stuck in there and it infected something.
You'll only execute the car related part of the will - you can keep the Costco jack.

this sounds more like an allergic reaction or something. a normal cold/sore throat wouldnt close up your breathing passages like that. thats pretty fucked bro.
Holy shxt, Supa... I'm sorry to hear how big of a scare this "sore throat" has become. And I'm thankful to know that you were able to receive good and rapid care at the hospital.
My smart but illiterate grandma -- bless her soul -- would probably have said that your dark yellow / orange pee is probably bcos you are "hot air" / 熱氣.
I'm calling dips on your RDX, spontaneous rear hatch glass shattering and massively curbed wheels and all. It'd make for a nice transition / lineage from 1G to 3G.

TIL: It's not severe diarrhea unless you're going 10 or more times a day.
Why do I know this? I'm on oral antibiotics now and one of the side effects is diarrhea and I googled "severe diarrhea" at 3am this morning. Definitely not doing any exercises that require bracing the core or sphincter this week cause I'm getting enough clenching work in (I qualify as mild to moderate diarrhea).
your poor asshole. i hope you have a bidet. otherwise you'd chafe the shit out of your poor hole.
No bidet I'm afraid - my toilets are all compact elongated shape and pretty much no one makes bidets for them (I had a quote for a $2k one once - too rich for my ass).
BTW: If anyone needs revenge delivered via turd (especially the explosive spray kind) just send me the address and deets. You have to prepay in the form of a meal though - delivery can happen about 90-120 mins after payment.
LOOK AT ME IM MIKE AND I HAVE A BIG HOG AND I DRINK TEQULA AND WORK OUT AND LISTEN TO CHARLI XCX ON THE BEACH IN BERMUDA
Grow up fuckin Peter Pan and get a good nights rest.
