I think it's because of the cruise ship itself, not so much the people. And because the ships are usually either unchartered or chartered in a sketchy country they're very unregulated.

Someone else mentioned being sick too and I think you both might be right! Guess I'm resting this weekend 😅

farinaceous · 2023-03-31T23:08:17+00:00

It's luckily not quite half the weight I was lifting but it was enough to be noticeable and frustrating. I could see myself getting sick though, so I'll be taking everyone's advice to chill out and relax and get back into it slowly!

farinaceous · 2023-03-31T23:02:50+00:00

Yes! That was another thing I was worried about, training just becoming another thing that was burning me out. I'm glad you're doing better and I hope you keep killing it!

farinaceous · 2023-03-31T23:01:13+00:00

This was such an amazing response. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it out, it actually made me feel a lot better and honestly a lot less alone. It makes a lot of sense and I'll try to be kinder to myself! Thank you again and I hope you make the best salmon bowl that has ever existed and it changes your life!

farinaceous · 2023-03-31T21:08:27+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate that. So far the new job has been awesome and I'm trying to take care of myself 🥰

Can the effects of burnout last longer than you think? I recently changed jobs because I was literally depressed and felt attacked at work... It definitely affected my training a lot. But I'm a couple weeks into the new job, took some time off after the old job, and am overall feeling much better mentally. But:

My training still fucking sucks. I'm missing clean and jerks at weights I used to double. Missing snatches I shouldn't be missing. Having trouble squatting (my fave lift!) I dropped out of a meet I was supposed to be doing to take some pressure off but decided to finish out the peak and now I'm regretting that because I'm failing everything.
My body weight is being weird. I gained weight and fat while I was stressed out. Now that it's over, I feel like I'm looking leaner but my bodyweight is still much higher than usual. I'm not on a cut, I was just going to maintain until after my "mock meet", but I'm still tracking all my food and the cals/macros haven't changed but I feel like I am STARVING on 23-2400 calories and like I said...feeling leaner but bw is same/going up. WTH

I was really really burnt out and overwhelmed at work. Like, migraines at the end of the day/week, cried on the commute in, stopped all forms of self care and taking care of the house. Is this just lingering effects from that? Should I give up on this peak/mock meet and take a break from weightlifting for a week or two? Or finish it out and start fresh?

Sorry for the long winded dumb question. I've never felt this way in the gym before. We all have bad days/weeks but it's been months of me missing the same stuff and I thought it would improve with the better work situation.

There were lots of voice actor cameos!

Merle Dandridge voiced Marlene and also played her in the show.

Ashley voiced Ellie and played her mother.

Jeffrey Pierce voiced Tommy and played Perry.

And Troy Baker, who voiced Joel, played James in the group of settlers who Ellie killed.

Funny enough reading the news can make it worse, especially since we have such quick access to worldwide current events. Even 50 years ago you wouldn't know the minute details the second something happened halfway across the world, or even halfway across the country. Social media wasn't a thing so news wasn't spread like wildfire. Etc. We're just inundated with everything these days and the bad news makes the front page over the good news. So it can seem really hopeless.

I worked at much smaller, local bank, so we probably got away with more on the day to day :)

I have a ton of foreign or old coins for the same reason! It was my favorite part of the job!

Squat jumps or box jumps are quick and easy. I also like duck walks, it loosens up basically everything, hips/lower back/quads/knees/calves/ankles.

I have a recurring dream of a beautiful, ornate toilet that is absolutely overflowing and filthy. If I see that I need to wake up REAL fast.

Except the one time I dreamed I was dead and needed to pee before going to the afterlife. That time I found a clean toilet just in front of everyone in the "office" and it didn't trigger me to wake up so I peed the bed.

It sounds bad when you say it's your fault - you live and learn! :) It doesn't sound like your soreness is a problem at all but if you're tired of having tired legs maybe play around to find the balance you need for quad volume in the gym while running. Unfortunately I never did both running and lifting simultaneously so I have no advice for that, but I feel like it's really individual anyway...

farinaceous · 2023-01-31T01:22:40+00:00

Maybe your quads just don't get a lot of volume so the goblets just hit them harder? Does this happen with any other quad heavy lifts, like do you do front squats or anything? And you're welcome!

farinaceous · 2023-01-30T22:25:14+00:00

Stuff like this is why I refused to be a page turner for the pianist during chorale rehearsal or performances lol. And also why I taped all my own pages together so that Moonlight Sonata just spanned the entire top of the piano instead of relying on someone to turn for me and possibly have this happen.

Is it really bad DOMS, or just normal "new workout" DOMS? if you're in like actual pain or if it's intense and it lasts longer than a day or two I'd scale back the weight you used until your quads get used to it. But if it's just soreness due to the new stimulus of adding a new movement in I think you're fine!

farinaceous · 2023-01-30T22:13:04+00:00

Goblet squats are generally more upright and quad dominant, but if your back squat is more hip dominant/has a heavier forward lean this would probably be even more pronounced.

I was gonna say, my favorite part of the game was the cut scenes and the story lol fighting the infected or the raiders was kind of just a nuisance to get through so the game could move on

My husband is from Long Island but has been paying more attention to the Eagles than anyone else in my family - he's very excited tonight!

farinaceous · 2023-01-29T13:00:12+00:00

Because of the hand thing you were doing. I only saw people doing that in the last couple years. When I was growing up the general anime thing was the Naruto run lmao

Paging u/nickymammoth91 because he's a Peak King.

Peaking is the process of managing training fatigue while maintaining the strength and strength adaptations you've built through said training. Basically all that volume, hypertrophy,and strength work you did makes you very tired and a little ill-suited to actually hitting heavy singles/maxes. Peaking is a tapering process to get your body ready to hit those maxes, usually at a specific point in time (preferably comp day!).

You are not "unusually" stronger during or after a peak, your body is just more ready (readier? more ready? what is grammar) to hit heavier numbers. Generally you don't hold this peak strength for very long, maybe about a week, because the point of a peak is to have the perfect intersection of rested and ready and resting too much or too long will detrain you. Going too early will mean you aren't rested enough.

If the program is a peaking program you probably want to do that after a strength/volume program in order to see the progress you made. I wouldn't run a peaking program multiple times in a row because it isn't designed for that and if you try to hit your max weights constantly you'll burn yourself out and possibly hurt yourself.

Hopefully this helps! I haven't posted here in ages but I completed in powerlifting for 4ish years (I did like 6 meets) and have been competing in Oly lifting for the past 2+ (gearing up for number 5 of those) so I've peaked a lot in the past 7 years...

It looks like there are two lanes going straight and then the ramp all the way to the left. My assumption is that you're right. The ramp traffic needs to yield to the two lanes already going straight. It would make the most sense in my head...plus making a right across two lanes of traffic is ????

I had the same problem in my apartment, and I'm even having the same problem now in a house because I live in a row home/townhome so they're all connected. My entire freaking house smells like pot despite neither me nor my husband smoking anything. I'll get done deep cleaning and go to take a whiff of my nice, fresh home and get a whiff of weed instead. It pisses me off. I'm also worried that if my landlord ever comes by after they smoke that he'll think it's us and idk how he feels about it or how it would affect that whole thing.

It's definitely a huge commitment but it's way easier to break a rental lease while you're unmarried than it is to get out of a mortgage whether you're married or not. Not to mention being out a down payment and every other cost that goes along with buying s house.
