UNBRIDLED TRUTH

I do think I increased the intensity this week, as expected, though I had overlooked that it'd be sensible to give myself an extra recovery day after the treatment I went through, so I did only four workouts. My timed performances left something to be desired, but I like to see that as motivation for the future. Monday Type: Pass/Fail Uneven Pull Ups - 2 sets of 5, each side (pass) Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 2 sets 6 (pass) One-arm Push Ups, feet

There is a common idea in psychological analysis of abuse, violence, and similar antisocial behaviors that the targets of such experiences present an elevated risk of inflicting those same experiences on others, known as the cycle of abuse. While the validity of how much the experiences influence the target’s future behavior is debated, that specific is irrelevant for the purposes of this post; all that I’m referencing it for is to provide a starting point for saying that so

Tuesday Type: Pass/Fail Close Squats - 3 sets of 20 (pass) Bridges - 3 sets of 15 (pass) Bonus: none Continuing on f

It seems like a common thing to come across clinical terms like “psychopath” or “autistic” being used as shorthand for “someone with a reduced capacity to feel empathy” or “someone who is lacking common sense and/or is shortsighted”, respectively, in non-clinical conversation. That is a problematic practice. Clinical diagnoses are not general adjectives, they are terms for specific conditions that affect real people who are marginalized already, through no fault of their ow

I had something come up on Sunday that caused this post to be delayed, but it was a trade-off that I have no regrets about making. More relevantly, though, I'm making more steady progress, in terms of both building confidence and increasing difficulty. Only four workouts because I just wasn't feeling up to it on Thursday, but all in all, I'm satisfied with how things went.
