Youtube launch

I've "launched" my youtube channel officially.  My first intentional video: 22 views.  This, obviously, pales in comparison to my unintentional video that has 11k views and counting.  That video was garbage, but the content was useful.  I guess my first on-purpose was garbage AND useless.  It's going to take me a while to figure out what people want to see, but I'm enjoying the process of filming the videos (it's basically just me doing what I was going to do anyway with a camera on), and even moreso learning about video editing.  I'm interested to see where this goes!

oh yea...

I guess a description of my actual weights program might be useful. The program I follow is called linear periodization although I've modified it to suit my needs. Linear periodization involves decreasing reps, and increasing weight each week in order to keep the body guessing. So for any particular exercise the program looks like this: Week 1: 12 reps, 3 sets@ x lbs Week 2: 10 reps, 3 sets@ x+5 lbs Week 3: 8 reps, 3 sets@ x+10 lbs Week 4: 6 reps, 3 sets @ x+15 lbs I call this a "cycle." At the end of a cycle you start over using the previous cycle's week 2 weight as your week 1 weight like: Week 1: 12 reps, 3 sets @ x+5 lbs Week 2: 10 reps, 3 sets @ X + 10 lbs etc, etc. You keep increasing the weight until you can't complete the third set completely. If you CAN'T complete the third set, you carry that weight over to the next workout or even week until you CAN.....then you go up weight. In print it looks a lot more complicated than it actually is, but...

Settling in

Despite what may or may not be happening elsewhere in North America, Houston is still hot.  Not just hot, but fucking hot.  Why make the distinction?  Because fucking hot requires a/c always.  Regular hot means I can drive the jeep around with the doors off, and not look like I swam to my destination.  The change from fucking hot to hot is coming, though, and I'm trying to find time to get the leaf springs on the jeep replaced in time for it.  So far, have after 6 weeks, I've found time to replace 2.  On the bright side: she no longer sits lopsided.  I'm starting to settle into the job and parenthood.  Getting out of banking was the right call both for me from a phyiscal and mental health standpoint as well as for my family.  My kid will actually know who I am.  He's growing fast, and is hilariously mega gassy. The olympic lifting is coming along.  It's such a slow process.  There's no breakthroughs, it's just tiny i...
