Not posted in a bazillion years again. Need to post more often. Maybe I’ll do unrelated to training posts. Intersperse them with communism posts. Or warhammer 40k book reviews, which I’ve definitely mentioned before.

The latest ones I read were the Bequin novels, which were very good. And as a full-on Primarch enjoyer (technically not a Primarch, I’m aware, but the Custodes’ equivalent), I do want Valdor’s return to be legit.

People say the Primarchs returning are bad because they’re just superheroes, but I see 40k as more of a Gods-and-Monsters setting in that context. The scenes in Dark Imperium where Guilliman contends with the Emperor’s “godhood” (and by extension his own), and the state religion of the Imperium, are some of the most compelling I’ve read in 40k (and I’ve read a fair bit of it).

It’s difficult to write a superhuman character well in many settings (particularly real life) because the writer is not superhuman, so they’re naturally limited by their own intelligence and biases. (The Mentalist, House, Sherlock, etc)

I think fantasy settings mitigate this problem very effectively by allowing writers to create the context those characters exist in as well. R. Scott Bakker wrote a series based around a monastic warrior who could literally calculate every outcome of a given situation and it was still amazing.

Horus Heresy and 40k both handle this issue very well too, IMO. That said, I’m not a tabletop player — I imagine it could be annoying for those guys to have Primarchs return regularly.

Anyway:

Squat 170kg (PB)
Bench 115kg (PB)
Squat 160kg double (PB)
Deadlift 190kg

100kg bench ✅

Happy with this despite the sticking point and slight foot movement. Leg wedge/drive still needs work so I reckon I’m capable of more given technical improvements. That said, I’m officially gym bro certified now

Bench: 100kg (PB), 95kg
Deadlift: 180kg x 2 (PB), 165kg x 4 (PB?)
Larsen: 77.5kg x 6

Squat: 140kg x 2

New year new sport 💅

Made the decision to pause Olympic weightlifting recently cause my shoulder wouldn’t stop complaining and I was dreading going gym before every session.

Despite getting consistently stronger — inc back squatting 130kg for 10 and deadlifting 190kg, for two recent examples — it just wasn’t moving the dial on my lifts because my shoulder hurt so bad.

So I’ve knocked it on the head and decided to give powerlifting a try.

First comp in the next few months hopefully, let’s see what happens.

Excuse suboptimal technique while @papepowerlifting gets me into shape.

Recent stuff:

Deadlift 160kg x 5
Squat 130kg x 5
2ct bench 85kg
Larsen bench 60kg x 6
Deadlift 140kg x 4

Preamble: I saw One Battle After Another the other day. One of the best movies I’ve seen in years. Teared up after the prologue and at the end. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a piece of art that nails the blend of hope and fatalism inherent to revolutionary politics as PTA does in that movie (while being hilarious and terrifying, start to finish).

PTA also understands that one of the reasons fascism is structurally self-defeating is that it needs an ever-expanding out group to pit against an ever-contracting in group (illustrated in the movie quite farcically by the Christmas Adventurists). It is, nonetheless, murderously destructive until organised labour stamps it out.

Anyway: couple PBs for the grid plus a snatch double at 70kg I think looked nice

Snatch 75kg x 2 (PB)
Clean FS jerk 100kg (PB)
Snatch 70kg x 2

Thankful for my hobbies.
