FRUSTRATED.

I am frustrated with training. Last monday's training was barely even worth mentioning, were it not for a new Good Morning PR of 6 reps @ 200 kilos. I'm still not writing it up. And last weekend's session was lacklustre; everybody's injured, recovering, out of action from a year of competition. I did some decent volume work with the DB press but nothing else is worth talking about.

I am frustrated at work. Work unfortunately requires me to regularly communicate with some undesirable and unreliable individuals. This time of year, those individuals become more unreliable and unpleasant to deal with. I do my job and I try not to let it affect the rest of my life. But sometimes I fail at this.

I'm also frustrated with half-wits who think they know politics, and attempt to engage me in ad hominem and regurgitated rhetoric as a way of demonstrating intelligence (I can only assume). I don't have time for your bullshit. But I'll provide this for you, so you know at least what your bullshit is called:

ad hominem |ˈad ˈhämənəm|adverb& adjective1 (of an argument or reaction) arising from or appealing to the emotions and not reason or logic.• attacking an opponent's motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain: vicious ad hominem attacks.
So tonight was a good session; I actually super-setted the last few exercises to keep intensity up. The higher volume and more regular cardio work is resulting in a little less weight on the scale (been at 127 for a couple of weeks now) and I'm worried about exactly how much of that is muscle atrophy.
More Squats and Good Mornings tomorrow night.
