Old people eyes wide shut orgy music video

https://open.spotify.com/track/77BAdEE2DDdMlobG86ZV5x?si=-NZtX-d9RyGq7QXehubI1A

Artist: beatangers
Song: my game

Cant listen to this while lifting anymore. I keep imagining an escalating high end sex party with super senior citizens.

The party gets sloppy as fuck. Doing bumps of vyvanse and viagra off of crusty nipples. Some peeps hanging back and eating the catered country kitchen buffet. New offerings of tatted up seniors that look like dhalsim get carried in by lesser seniors. the party stops as their king arrives, then they descend on him and devour every wrinkle.

The 'ooooh's' in the song are mixed with extreme close up O faces. You cant tell where hips begin and fake hips end.

I love this song.

Wisconsin method day 19: 10/12/18 getting better

The wave of disappointment from my job fuckup is over. Finding i generally sleep better if i complete tiny tasks before bed. Can be anything really. Cut nails. Clean bathroom. Call mom. Whatever.

Considering the biggest driver behind my poor sleep is FUCK NOTHING IS DONE I SUCCKKKKK this is a good pathway.

Sex drive: nothin bruh. Again, situational
Mood/confidence: pretty stellar

Workout
Seated row 200lbsx22 reps (+2 reps from yesterday, likely due to the violent concentrics i added in)
LM press 4plates, 1dime x1
--grrrinder. This was really hard. May have 1 day left in me before we switch to dips
Rear delt raise 12.5x35,25,15,5
--these are feeling great. And hot damn do my shoulders look good pumped up
Tricep and bicep band work

Stretches today added on front splits. This felt GREAT on my back. I felt a stretch right in between my left glute and hamstring (i.e. where things are boned) that i havent before.

I tried opened today with power cleans. Noooooope. They didnt hurt, but it was like watching an alcoholic say hell just have 1 shot of schnapps. Cmon buddy, what are you doing. Kids are watching.

Wisconsin method day 18: 10/11/18 worse

I didnt post yesterday because i made the biggest fuckup of my career on the 9th. Fixable, im prob not getting fired, but it took the piss out of me.

Lower back has been shitty again, so we are shifting to entirely upper body.

Workout
Seated cable row 200x20
--this is the stack, so subsequent days will be used to increase reps
Lm press 4plates 1nickel x1
--wooooo baby
Chinup 1x9, shit set
Rear delt raise 12.5lbs x25, x15, x30
Stretches and neck work
Triceps and biceps are a little beat up, saving for tomorrow

Wisconsin method day 16: 10/9/18 bad day

Bulgarian split squats were NOT happening today. Remember how much i said they lit up my glutes? Well apparently they did way too well. Even bodyweight hurt like a mofo. I tried to circle back and only do the right leg, but same dealeo.

Ill retry tomorrow, as ive been enjoying this cycle. If it feels like dogshit, ill switch to a pull type movement (power clean, snatch high pull, t bar row).

Sex drive: even keel man
Mood/confidence: great again. I dunno if gettinf drunk Saturday threw me off or what, but im back to feeling awesome.

Workout
Bulgarian split squat (right): 160x2, 140x3x1
Landmine press 3plates, 1quarter, 1dime x1
--mega easy
Rear delt raise x50,40,30,20,10 with 10lbs

Wisconsin method day 15: 10/8/18 stretch mofo

One day of no stretching and im feeling it. Gotcha. High frequency means prehab is mandatory. My body otherwise feels pretty great.

Dancing over the weekend let me know how south my conditioning has gone. Kind of expected but still annoying. Ill ramp up a little night conditioning for the next few weeks or else hulaween is going to bury me.

Sex drive: looking at all the butts, but mostly appreciating and moving on.
Considence/mood: excellent, although i notice a hit from drinking Saturday. I literally felt unstoppable until my first beer on saturday.

Workout
BSS (right) 155x2, 135x10x1
--still way harder than the left leg
Landmine press 3plates 1quarter x1
Stretches
Chinup 1x13
Rear delt raise 10lbs 40,30,20,10
Tricep and bicep band work
--loving these so much. My friend commented this weekend that i looked like an 80s workout video. Solid. Will post a video of Eric Bugenhagen in a separate post

Wisconsin method day 14: 10/7/18

Hung over, doesnt matter. Lifting is feeling routine. Feeling some extreme soreness in both my legs and shoulders, but nothing feels close to injury.

All the things: great

Workout
Bulgarian split squat (left)  185x2, 165x10x1
--eaaaasy
Btnpp 235x1
--easy but scary. Changing to the horizontal press track

Saturday, October 6, 2018

Wisconsin method day 13: 10/6/18

Ate all the carbs last night (deliberate). My carb intake for the most part has been in the morning pre lift, but this was a welcome change for the weekend.

Sex drive: pretty decent. Again, situational. It's like nothing is armed and ready until my brain sees something it likes. Then its like WE'RE UNDER HEAVY FIRE. ALL PARATROOPERS OUT. DO YOU WANNA DIE. (Boner paratroopers) sir we are miles from the drop zone. SOLDIER THAT IS ASS AND TITTY ARTILLERY FIRE. JUMP NOW. Foosh (boner misfire fx)!
Mood/confidence: still pretty great

Workout
Bulgarian split squat (right) 155x5x1, 145x5x1
--As expected, my non dominant leg sucked at its first try. No worries here.
Push press 225x1
--this is a mother fuckin PR. Ive gotten this over my head behind the neck, but never in front. This was scary as fuck. Switching to behind the neck for the next cycle
Chinups 1x14
--volatile number of daily reps. I may try mixing up the grip daily as well
Rear delt raises 5lbs x150 reps (50,40,30,20,10 one ark at a time)
Tricep and bicep band work
Neck work
Stretching. Extra attention given to shoulders and triceps

Wisconsin method day 12: 10/5/18

Yesterday kind of blew in retrospect. Yes i felt awesome. Yes my lifts didnt suck too bad for coming off a layoff. But god damn if my back isnt sending all sorts of warning signs post lifting and tennis.

Today i switched things up a little bit and tried bulgaroan split squats for the first time. Couple of thoughts:
- my gyms power racks make it impossible to set up safety, so max effort is not in the cards
- daily max followed by volume feels fine, just fine
- holy fuck my glutes are awake! Killer.

Sex drive: talked to the girl im seeing last night. Got mega horny, then nothing. So, sex drive is there, just selectively there. Im off porn completely, so im really just not being bombarded by titties, and titties are not on the brain
Confidence: aggression was great
Mood: excellent if not a but tired. I got to sleep at 10 and woke up at 4 WIRED. Lame

Workout
Bulgarian split squat (left): 195x1 (difficult)
155x10x1, 1min rest
Push press 220x1. Difficult but 225 is def there tomorrow

Considering how much fuck about time i spent on split squats, i ended here after a small amount of tricep work and stretching.

Biggest victories today is how good my back feels, finding a movement that wakes my glutes up, and knowing how much stronger im going to get on split squats compared to today.

Wisconsin day 11: 10/4/18

Today was fuckin great! Switched movements across the board and glad i did.

Sex drive: not there
Confidence/energy/mood: great

Today i was able to access some much needed aggression. The change? Fucking metalocalyse soundtrack that's what.

Workout
Zercher squat 315x1 (grinder, but 305 was smooth as buttuh)
Push press 215x1
Shoulder raise 10lbs x55, x20
Tricep and bicep band work
Stretching

Happy i went back to push pressing today. I really didnt milk it last week, leaving a lot on the table. The major difference today was definitely technique driven. Keeping the bar high up on my collar bone made the bar path way easier to stick to.

A good progression here may be
OHP > push press > behind the neck push jerk

Similarly, for horizontal pressing
Landmine press > dips > floor press

Wisconsin method day 10: 10/3/18

Feeling like a fucking tank today. Surprisingly, this did not transfer to lifting. Go figure.

Small modifications to diet and lifting. All of them felt pretty damn good.

Diet changes:
Usually im strict keto during the week. This is not because im trying to establish long term ketosis, but because i generally feel better during the workday when carbs are absent. No post lunch slowdown, and I can push my meals until later in the day.

Change today was starting out with a few carbs preworkout (small bowl of frozen cherries). Felt great going into my workout.

Workout changes:
Squatting before pressing, and making my squat a top double instead of single. This worked really well, and may allow me go stick with a lower body movement longer.

Sex drive: not bad not bad
Confidence/mood/energy: fucking awesome

I was productive as hell last night. Focussing on completing a few small tasks helped me calm the fuck down before bed. Sleep was amazing.

Workout
Front squat 245x1x2
Landmine press 3plates 1quarter x 3
Chinup 1x15
Rear delt raise 10lbs 1x17, 1x25
Tricep and bicep band work dropset

Tuesday, October 2, 2018

Wisconsin method day 9: 10/2/18

Getting worse across the board. Again, shit sleep after getting in bed by 10 (then struggling until i woke up at 630).

Trying a change tonight by:
- getting a short dance in to wear myself out
- completing a few small tasks so my brain isnt on douche mode

Workout
Landmine press 3plates, 2quarters x2
--like this a ton. Going ro try for more reps tomorrow instead of nore weight
Rear delt raise 10lbs 1x60, 1x20
Front squat 270x1
--awful. Switching out
Tricep and bicep band work
Stretches

Wisconsin method day 8: 10/1/18

Horrible sleep last night. Fuckkk fuck fuck fuck. All things considered, i did ok, but blargh man.

Really need to keep up last weeks trend of leaving my phone alone late night.

Sex drive: aight. Maybe stop force diddling myself eh?
Mood/energy: 5/10

Workout
Push press 205x1
Front squat 275x1 (still hard, but not getting harder than previous days)
Pause front squat 205x2x2
Rear dealt raise 10lbs x 60 reps
Neck work amap

Wisconsin method day 7 9/30/18

It's only been a week??? What the actual fuck. I feel like ive been doing this for months (i mean that in a very positive way).

Today was not a great lifting day, but last night was filled with junk food, booze, smoking, poor sleep, and avenue q. I may try for another ohp PR tomorrow morning before i switch movements. It would be mega awesome if i could hit a strict 185 overhead on this cycle as well.

Depending on how this goes, i may nix the backoff work entirely. It's super easy, but i dont know whether the slightly increased volume is eating into my recovery for the next day.

Sex drive: better. Still not great, but also still not bothering me. Condidence is HIGH
Mood/energy: very mediocre, but ill chock this up to diet, booze, and sleep deprivation
Body comp: shoulders are popping a little bit. Arms feel fantastic (day long pumps). The weekly volume for both body parts is going to end up being pretty great (800+ weekly reps) so im interested in seeing where this takes me

Workout
Ohp 180xfail
Rear delt raise 10lbs; 1x55, 1x25
--note: i may want to look for other decent rear delt movements as well. This feels great at the moment, but in guessing im going to hit some overuse thresholds after a few weeks
Front squat 270x1
--note: easier than yesterday's 265, but still tough
Bw chinup 1x19, not to failure
Tricep and bicep band work

Saturday, September 29, 2018

Wisconsin method day 6: 9/29/18

Soreness abound in my shoulders, but i just about hit a lifetime PR on overhead press. The nerve control is there, but the bar came out of the groove. Front squat was a bit low, but fuck its my first lift post back injury (and also just 5lbs shy of my old old PR).

Sex drive: forgettaboutit
Mood and energy: top notch

Ohp 175x1 easy as pie
Ohp 185x0, fucked it up
Ohp 135x3x3
Rear delt raise 10lbs 1x55, 1x20
Front squat 265x1
Chinup 1xbwx15 (gonna keep this in rotation daily if unweighted, no going to failure)
Banded tricep pushdown and curls

Wisconsin method day 4: 9/28/18

Renaming the wisconsin method b/c eric and dairyland strength have coined it. I illustrated the differences between the wisconsin/bugenhagen method and classic bulgarian light/perryman in my last post.

Sex drive: Still dead. Annoying but also kind of liberating. Looking at this from another angle, im not encumbered by worrying about finding dates or getting some ass. All of my energy has gone towards lifting, working, and fun.
Energy: through the roof. Feel fantastic
Mood: ditto, stellar

Lifting
Ohp 170x1
--165 was hard, but honestly i was afraid of it. 170 had a little aggression behind it and went up smooth as butter
Ohp 135x3x3
Shoulder raise 10lbsx65 reps
Chinup 120x(failure), switch movements
Banded dropset for triceps and biceps
stretch hips and shoulders

Bulgarian light day 3 9/27/18

Needed to be at work early as sin yesterday, so no training session. Today was HARD. First time this week where ive really felt the impact of daily lifting.

At the moment, in following Eric Bugenhagen's style as opposed to Mathew Perryman's.

Los differences
A. Bugenhagen
- 1 to 2 lifts (not including prehab or pump work)
- lift every day
- work up to a max single, backoff sets are optional
- 10 to 15 reps working volune daily
- change movements when you fail to make progress

B. Perryman
- 3 to 7 lifts over the course of a week (not including prehab or pump work)
- lift 3 to 7 days
- work up to a daily max (not necessarily a true max), backoff sets are encouraged
- keep the same general movements in rotation

Im still really enjoying the simplicity of bugenhagens style, but my upper body only pair of movements means that im going to stall out fast as fuck.

Sex drive: non existent
Energy: fucking great
Mood: ditto. Im killing it at work, with friends, and family

Workout
Floor press 255x1
--barely got this. Exchanging it for something else
Floor press 205x3x3
Rear delt raises 10lbsx60 reps
--this feels wonderful
Chinup 115x1
Chinup 67.5x3x3
--backoff was a little too heavy this time
Band tricep pushdowns and curls, amap

Tuesday, September 25, 2018

Bulgarian light day 3 9/25/18

Today was difficult, not gonna lie. Both top sets were barely won, although this may have been more due to form than neural strength (especially floor press).

Converesly, all backoff sets were as smooth as butter.

Appetite: Poor
Lunch and dinner get wolfed down easy enough, but im not finding i want more than that. Considering how difficult today was, i may try to force some more calories in. Keto might be part of the problem here.

Sex drive: Poor
Im not too worried about this at the moment, but slightly disappointed at waking up to a yawny softy instead of a military boner.

Energy: Excellent
Consistent and high throughout the work day. Easy to fall asleep. Easy to get up at 630 to redo the cycle.

Workout
Floor press 260x1 (barely, but 250 was easy as pie)
Floor press 225x2x2
Rear delt raise 10lbsx60 reps
Chinup 110x1 (also barely)
Chinup 65x3x3
Band pushdown xamap

Monday, September 24, 2018

Bulgarian light day 2 9/24/18

Day 2 of reentering bulgarian light
Lower body is injured, so upper body specialization it is.

Floor press: 260x1, 195x3x3
Rear delt raises: 55reps per arm 10lbs
Chinup: 105x1, 62.5x3x3
Tricep bamd pushdowns: 4 band dropset

Overall feel great. Driver behind this push is i need to be strong. I cant stand these slow ass PRs that slip away at the drop of a hat.

Strength training actual strength instead of power building light feels like a great way to spend my time.

Home gym incoming.
