How good is your friend? I was able to get to gold 1 last season with pretty few games played, and my friend is usually hovering around d5-d3, but is currently purposely keeping his elo low this season so he can duo with me.

Makes games pretty lulzies since he trolls around with fun picks.

My first ever 3-0!!!

It feels good to actually have measurable progress at something. I'll save the battle report unless anyone is interested.

Abzan beastmaster is fucking bonkers in combo with Crater elemental I'll say that much.

I should watch daredevil, can't be that bad. Offtopic seems to like it, which is actually no mark of taste but it does raise it to my attention.

I watched the first two eps and it's alright so far. Problem is Daredevil is just well kind of bland as a superhero.

Abs still sore and a bit painful to the touch from satursday's workout. Not sure if go lightly on them, or do non-abs stuff and stretches and try the workout tomorrow instead.

If it's a sharp type pain then I think just rest today while doing some stretches. It's normal to be a bit sore but painful to the touch sounds like a bit too sore :D. I do these stretches most off days along with one or two other ones. I haven't done abs in a long time so maybe that's just normal though. You know your body best so just go with how you feel.

If I read articles correctly GTA fives pc port hits release this evening. Please by all the gods let it not suck. I'd genuinely like to be able to run that at max settings driving over Californian caricatures. Err no offense to actual Californians.

v- I always felt like Saints row is trying too hard to be cool.

GTA never appealed to me, saints row is more fun imo.

My point being, open world games are for messing around and blowing shit up, so mercenaries was the best.

Today has been a good day. Wouldn't even think it's a monday.

+ Show Spoiler [Story Time] +

My gym only has 2 barbell racks for squats/press etc. I was doing both squats and overhead press today so that's 10 sets on the racks. Next to me this older woman put her stuff on the 2nd rack and did a set of squats then went away and did leg press/calves/leg extension then back to squats. At the same time a guy was waiting on an open rack.I called him over and told him to come share the rack with me inbetween sets rather than waiting since the old lady didn't allow anyone on the rack. I eventually go to overhead press while he's doing squats and do my first set which wasn't that great. I've been struggling with overhead press these last few weeks so deloaded and still wasn't happy. The guy I'm sharing with then gives me a piece of advice on how to try get better at overhead press(form type thing) and I do my second set which goes SO much better than first. I think he singlehandedly helped me get over the plateau I've been in. Then I'm deadlifting about 1.5xBO with good form straight after that. Just an awesome feeling. To top it off I get home to see my Spice and Wolf novels have finally entered transit. Today is a good day.

TLDR: Being kind to people sometimes gives you rewards in ways you don't expect

When do you go to the gym? During your lunch pause, exercise, shower, lunch, back to work?

Nice move Numy

In my experience people are usually to happy to help in the gym. The exceptions are usually easy to spot.

@Alaric, you're looking for "lunch break"

I'm not working(studying from home) currently so I go to gym normally 10:30ish or around lunch time. I go for about an hour broken up in 10-15 minutes warmup then 30-45 minutes exercise and 5-10 cool down. Could prob do it quicker if I had to get back for work. Lunch time is the most quiet I've ever seen the gym so if you're like me who doesn't want too many people around you should try head during then. I'm more comfortable with people at the gym now but when I first started out that was a big concern of mine. It also helped that I befriended some of the staff there so we chat occasionally. I always find it weird, think of myself as rather socially bad yet when I'm in a social situation I don't seem to be too bad at it :<.

Ye I didn't even ask him he just offered and really helped me out. It's kind of the same problem I used to have with deadlifts in that I wasn't picturing what the lift was properly. I was using my "arms" too much instead of shoulders more on the press even though I know it's a shoulder exercise mainly. Just thought it was really nice of him

Yeah, I just asked because the timing of your post puzzled me.
I got the HS quest that gives you a pack for spectating a friend win o/
But I don't have friends playing HS anymore (I actually removed the randoms who added me after a game yesterday evening, such timing). \o

Euros unite, I'm looking for friends. You can quote it out of context if need be.

Or you just blast your music obtrusively for everyone else in the office to hear.

If you've got decent taste you might even enlighten some of your coworkers.
Yango doesn't care anymore, he's back to being a student so he can act all immature and pretend it's just a phase one having all this newfound liberty passes through.
