Goals & Gains Nu'Keese vs. A Lawyer

[CRZA]

I always wanted to hit a 1k super total in a USAPL and USAW meet, within a short span of each other. My ankle left mobility issue and now left shoulder have kinda squashed the hopes of returning to WL in any competitive capacity. I will focus on PL for the next 3 years or so, then hopefully will just lift to get buff and try to look and feel better.

Ahh I see. Thats a great goal to have. You've still done great numbers both in WL and PL

Take it from me. I now lift mostly to get stronger and fit as I train primary for BJJ. But maan, I still want to chase those numbers and break PRs. Its an addiction hitting those big weights. Lifting to get buff and healthy just isnt as fun

Yeah, I am not looking forward to training for fitness and looks, all that shit is boring to me. I would like to get back on the mats at some point. If I can get back into jits and stay injury free, that might allow me to reduce time lifting and doing forms of cardio that I don't find to be fun.

No. I am usually doing other stuff while lifting, also since the smart phones have been around it is pretty much impossible for me to be bored in general.

Had to be really quick because of surprise guests for Halloween. Good session though.

Ah, see for me lifting is like a dedicated part of the day. I set it up so I have nothing getting in the way. Except maybe running laundry or whatever since I'm already in the basement.
