A conversation about marriage (with some...
Classmate #1: Like, I'm okay with gay people wanting to be with each other. But marriage should be between a guy and a girl.
Classmate #2: I don't even want to see it. Like, it's nasty.
Me: Oh my god! I know! My neighbor was talking about how he and his Jewish girlfriend wanna get married and I was like "Why should you two be allowed to get married?" in my head. I mean, why would they think it was okay for a Christian and a Jew to get married. Disgusting.
Classmates: ....
Me: And let me tell you about this other couple I saw making out at the mall. It was nasty. The boy was white and the girl was black. Can you believe that? Two people of different races being together? That's just wrong.
Classmate #2: What the hell is wrong with you? So what if they want to be together?
Classmate #1: Yeah, there isn't anything wrong with it.
Me: Are you kidding me? It's completely wrong.There is only one kind of marriage that is okay. And that is between a man and a woman of the same race, religious background, with the same income level and from the same place. We wouldn't want kids to think that diversity is okay. God wouldn't appreciate these people ruining the sanctity of marriage.
Classmate #1: Why are you even in this conversation? God loves everyone.
Me: What? So you're telling me that God doesn't care who you marry, because he loves everyone?
Classmate #1: Yeah...
Me: Does he love animals, too?
Classmate #1: He loves human and animals and living creatures all around.
Me: Whoa. That just blew my mind. Well it is a good thing that gay people can't get married then. Because everyone knows that gay people aren't human, or living for that matter. Haha.
Classmate #1: ....
Me: Go choke on a dick you stupid prick.

K-Star's Pre-squat Hip Opener
In my quest to learn as much as I can about proper form and technique when doing compound lifts, I discovered an awesome blog called Mobility WOD. This blog is run by Kelley Starrett, DPT, a Crossfit coach based in San Francisco. Mobility WOD is full of awesome posts on how to improve our flexibility and range of motion, and brings to light a lot of things we take for granted in terms of our...

Sore...
…because I deadlifted 70 lbs last night!!! ZOMG I know it’s nothing compared to the weight lifted by the female bad asses here on Tumblr, but I’m so proud of myself because when I walked into the weights room last night I was most definitely scared that I wouldn’t be able to do it. It’s more than half of my body weight!!! But I did, and I’m so proud. ^_^
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep going

Ugh.
You know your body’s changed for the better when you order a regular Ice Blended Coffee and one cheese muffin at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, and you already feel sick and ready to puke halfway through the meal. I used to be able to finish off more than this. And my sweet tooth used to want more than just a regular-sized blended drink. But after months of working out, making better food choices,...

Updated Stronglifts Plan
Ok this isn’t really a major change to the Stronglifts 5x5 program, I’m just adding more warm-up sets to my lifts as mentioned the other day. Up until my last workout, my SL 5x5 workout plan had looked like this:
Yeah, it’s color-coded because I’m OC like that.
Prior to doing my work lifts, I only did two rounds of warm-ups consisting of one set of five reps. I somehow...

This girl deadlifts 315 lbs. THREE-ONE-FIVE, holy shit! And she does NOT look bulky at all! She’s actually 5’4, 140lbs, and looks leaner than me. Proof that heavy weights will not make you girls look like Arnold. Most guys can’t even look like Arnold. I’m gonna start focusing on strength again. Getting weak.
Oh my god. I cannot wait until I can have access to...

Having a high lean body mass is beneficial in so many ways. I mean apart from having a gorgeous ripped body with a 6 pack, LBM has in many ways been proven to have a direct co-relation with strength and anaerobic capacity.

I think I follow too many younglings… I have far too many school problems on my dash. Not that I don’t feel like their fitness goals are less important, but I graduated from high school seven years ago. And I graduated from college three years ago.
