Wisconsin day 59: 11/29/18 I feel like the future machine in chrono trigger

Lifting went well. But I'm nauseous instead of hungry? Super weird.

Didnt get to take a shower because I forgot my towel. Thanks for that towelie.

Conditioning was hard af today. My actual condition level is getting better and better, but my ass and hamstrings gave out hard. This is a good thing! I'll take tomorrow off so they can recover. Ideally, I'll find another form of conditioning I can do.

Sex drive: not there. It comes in spurts tbh. Day 1 of no masturbation left me with a boner that could have gone back in time and stabbed Hitler. Days 2 and 3 have intermiddent bonzars, but more test fire than anything. I want to reiterate, I am NOT doing no fap (see subreddit r/nofap). I think indefinite resistance is doing more harm than good. However! I think there is value to avoiding the constant dopamine release that is super easy to obtain (see: social media, porn, constant jacking). Like most fun and destructive things, the first second and third relapses really have no consequence. This is good and bad. Like a sparse cheat meal, your work is not getting undone. It's a habit that pushes me back into where I lived. Fortunately, this part is easy. Porn and me are donezo.

Mood/confidence: not great, but only because of the nausea

Workout
Dips bw+75x8
--not too easy, but mostly because I havent done them in a while. Plan here is to ramp the weight up until I hit a hard single (may be 2 weeks?). Goal is bw+140x1
Cable rows one arm 170x10
-- these felt great! Cool little learning moment here. Vertical pulls on rings have a giant carryover to horizontal pulls. The only reason I didnt v pull today was some bro was occupying the Smith area
Kettlebell swings
- 40lbs
- 4 rounds 40s on/20s off, really didnt make it
- trying to swing the bell higher to force a more powerful contraction
