LtL's Training Log

[Aurik]

Flowers might not be a bad idea either. Mrs. A likes flowers when I screw up. Which means she gets flowers fairly regularly...

Tried that once before and it just reminded her that I'd screwed up every time she looked at them. I'm just gonna be extra nice

Don't ever buy the Mrs a cast iron frying pan

Breaky in bed has to work. If it doesn't, offer her a day off from the house and book her a spa treatment. If still no luck, pack your bags.

I got my wife some flowers one time, and she told me that I shouldnt spend money on stupid stuff lol.

Ummmmm..... I know everyone is joking about placating wives and what not. So all in good fun, rock on.

However, if you are in the doghouse because of some middle of the night slackness, be sure you deserve the punishemnt.

Who was supposed to get up? etc?

I'm saying, did you divvy up the jobs during the night BEFORE you went to sleep? First feeding, second feeding, cuddling back to sleep, etc. If so, then if you slacked, you owe big time. But if you are winging it, as so many new parents do, then you owe nothing.

My wife and I devised a system where I handled all the issues before 1 Am, then she handled everything after 1 am. That worked for us and we each got solid sleep for at least one half the night.


Just saying you might need to stake out some boundries or you might become a whipping boy. Sleep is sleep. Gold comes and goes. But sleep is king.

It wasn't that bad. She understands that I find it harder to wake up than she does.

Thanks Mike. The deal during the week is that I get up to make the bottles and Mrs LtL does the feeding. I apparently just took a little too long to wake up so it wasn't as bad as I remembered it to be.

Awesome session today. Only took about 55minutes as I knew I had a deadline to get back for another family lunch. Did not feel ready to heavy deadlifts at all beforehand but once I got in and lifting, I started to feel strong around 185kg's. 215kg's was hard but good. Feels like there's more in there as well. Grip slipped a little on the second rep' at 215 so I held it at lockout to make sure that I had it (Video to follow)

Leg Press was good and again there's plenty more in there as well. Going to keep hammering those on DL day to overload the quad's. Did lightweight shrugs for two reasons:

1. I wanted to train my grip as well as my trap's
2. I can't be bothered loading up 6+pps for 2 sets, only to unrack and put it all away again 5 minutes later.

Lastly I don't know what's wrong with me but I am really enjoying training my ab's At least I deadlifted a PB to make up for it

Off to shower and get the house ready for visitors now. Will post the video later.
