Dichotomoes are useful for education, communication and simplification. Unfortunately, simplicity is useful but untrue - whereas complexity is true, but useless. | | Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 | | 8:25 pm |
Е.Клячкин - Ни о чём не жалеть
Ни о чём не жалеть Ни о чём не жалеть - Этот мудрый печальный закон Много лет, много лет Лечит нас и, как доктор домашний, знаком. Ни о чём не жалеть, Значит, все остальные слова, Как леса в ноябре, Опустели, и гулко грохочет листва. Ни о чём никогда не жалеть, не жалеть, Только не, только не... Этой малой частицей кончается след Никуда не ведущих и прожитых дней. Ни о чём не жалеть. Если узел нельзя развязать, То рубить смысла нет, Надо просто повязку одеть на глаза. Ни о чём не жалеть. Если память беззвучно кричит, Если жжёт, словно плеть, И сквозь трезвые строки рыдает мотив. Ни о чём не жалеть - Это значит уйти, зачеркнув Навсегда, всё, что было с тобой, Значит, память убить и убить свою жизнь, за годами года. Ни о чём не жалеть, Умоляю, меня не проси. Ни о чём не жалеть - Это сверх человеческих сил. | | Sunday, May 17th, 2009 | | 12:46 am |
Quotes
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with the idea from the beginning." Max Plank | | Saturday, April 11th, 2009 | | 9:44 am |
Quotes
A Roman divorced from his wife, being highly blamed by his friends, who demanded, "Was she not chaste? Was she not fair? Was she not fruitful?" holding out his shoe, asked them whether it was not new and well made. "Yet," added he, "none of you can tell where it pinches me." Plutarch, Parallel lives. Applicable everywhere | | Friday, September 26th, 2008 | | 8:10 pm |
Conventional Deadlift: 320x5 Strict Press: 125x5/135x3. When I first started overhead pressing (seated, behind the neck), I thought about a plate a side press as a far away strength feat. I didn't press until this summer and now I got to this small milestone. Next stop - 135x5/145x3. And a far away goal - bodyweight press. | | Monday, September 8th, 2008 | | 9:13 pm |
Personal Best
Two day report: Press: 120x5, 130x2 (first time pressing heavy) Squat: 205x10 | | Thursday, September 4th, 2008 | | 9:43 pm |
Personal Best
Sumo Deadlift: 335 x 5 @ BW168 and some left in the tank. Will attempt 355 for 3-5 next time. | | Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 | | 1:51 am |
Running
I ran 2 miles in 12:40 today. This is the first time running so much since October. Satisfied with my time; I'd like to get it down to 12 minutes though. | | Thursday, April 17th, 2008 | | 1:35 am |

I hit 190x5 on the maximal effort bench work-out (first one in over 6 month). 200x5 = 225x1, so 225 is within reach. I went car pushing twice this week. Great work-out. | | Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 | | 4:43 pm |

Fitness in 75kg weight-class (165lb)
I will soon lift an estimated 840lb raw total (squat+deadlift+bench). This would translate to Class IV in USAPL (and AAPF) and Class III in 100% Raw power-lifting federations. But since singles are taxing, require a couple of spotters, are more likely to lead to injury than reps and are not necessary outside of competition, I'll shoot for 755 (90% of 1RM) total in triples: 245/325/185 breakdown. Deadlift is there, squat is 20 away and bench is probably there. I might pick a day to do all three lifts together, or I might "cheat" and do them on separate days. Next bench-mark would be 810 in triples (900 singles) which is Class III in AAPF with 265/340/205 breakdown. And probably my life-long goal would be 875 in triples (970 singles) - Class III in USAPL and Class IV in NASA. Approximate breakdown would probably be close to 295/355/225 in triples and I doubt I'd want to stress my body more than that. But that's pretty far away. Especially squat. Triples: 245/325/185 = 755 265/340/205 = 810 295/355/225 = 875 | | Monday, December 31st, 2007 | | 4:09 pm |
Happy New Year!
My dear friends, I wish you all in the end of 2008 to look back at the year and feel that you have grown. It's been a good year for me and I'm looking forward to more! | | Saturday, June 11th, 2005 | | 12:40 pm |
LOL
"Mirrors are only the methadone of bodybuilding. You need a real audience. There's that joke: How many bodybuilders does it take to screw in a light bulb? Three -- one to screw in the bulb and two to say, "Really, dude, you look massive!" Yeah, that joke. It's not really a joke." Chuck Palahniuk | | Sunday, June 5th, 2005 | | 12:42 am |
I did it!
I finally benched 225 and was able to knock out 2 solid reps! | | Sunday, May 29th, 2005 | | 3:46 am |
Take 2: Cape Cod
Possibly going there for 2days/1night. Where do I go? Where is the warmest water? What is there to do? | | Thursday, May 26th, 2005 | | 1:14 am |
Events this weekend?
Monday is off. Does anyone know of any big, long, loud gatherings (festivals, etc) happening within 7-8 hour drive from Boston? Montreal? I need to get away from here for a bit, but my imagination at its low point these days... | | Tuesday, May 24th, 2005 | | 11:41 pm |
