City of Grit's first go at powerlifting

I think we're the only two unmarried guys here and I've been with my girlfriend going on three years, so borderline married I guess for me.
 
So I will be back updating this log in a couple days. This really isn't log material but I am having a bit of a tough time. I met this British girl on the ship. We hit it off and spent 3 days together. I got a little attached and I know it was a dumb thing to do, believe me. She decided to end it this morning because the cruise is coming to an end and she wants to spend the last 2 days with the friend she came with. For some fucking reason I am having such a difficult time with this. I am not usually this much of a bitch but this girl just got to me. Anyway, you guys are a fucking brotherhood and I just needed to talk this out. I gotta get my head right.
It’s the fucking accents bro. They get me every time. Lol.

The bar I used to deadlift had basically no knurling left. I had to use straps because my grip was slipping. That was frustrating. Getting back into the swing of things has been challenging. I lost some weight while on the trip....probably stress from the sitsituat with that girl. I don't handle the stuff well. Anyway, it's good to be back training again.

Ladies and gentlemen
He is back with a vengeance.

Probably feels great to be bending bars again eh?
 
It certainly does....although it would feel pretty good to still be bending the girl lol

I hear you man,
I've gotten caught up on some Prime before.

I remember an ex I had such a huge bitch, terrible person.
BUT a blonde massage therapist with DD and a set of abs.
Holy fuck, she had to go 100% but it fucked me up for months.

Smash some strange and get on Tinder (or whatever people are using now.. dont know I've been married for a while lol)
That always helped me get over them

Haha you know, I've never used Tinder. This girl has me fucked up still... damn English accent, fake tits, great smile, and she was pretty fucking cool. I'm kind of done with the average American woman.

That's why I married outside of north America lol.

Sorry, but north American women are bitches.
Want you to earn the nice 6 figure salary, but your ass has to be home by 5pm.

Nawwwww

Got me a third world woman.
Have to work 24 hours straight?
She will pack you two lunches and say good luck.
:D

Even the European women are different. What the fuck happened over here?
 
Monday

Low bar squats

235 lbs. 4 × 3

Barbell hip thrusts

95 lbs. 4 × 8

Dumbbell bench with deep stretch

70 lbs. 4 × 8

I'm not a fan of hip thrusts. The bench moves behind me, plus they look pretty stupid. I usually only see women doing them, but they are in my programming. Low bar felt good.
 
I guess I got lucky with mine. A lot of my friends' girlfriends/wives make them miss the gym or insist they don't eat healthy or control the money for both of them. Mine understands I'm not missing the gym for anything and doesn't care if I eat different stuff than she does. And we keep finances separate. We very, very rarely fight about anything.

I prefer dumbbell glute bridges over barbell hip thrusts. The latter feel like they get into my back too much sometimes. Using a dumbbell and doing higher reps feels like it isolates the glutes.

That there gentleman is exactly why I don’t fuck with white girls. Latinas is where it’s at, the less Americanized the better.
