Log Day 60

Yesterday was the most insane training session I have ever experienced. I don't know what the cause was, but I had an explosion in progression. Yesterday was my last day of 2 weeks training to failure. My numbers weren't really going up from the week before. Seemed I hit my actual limit. Not yesterday...I was like holy shit what is happening.

Leaning lateral raises +5 reps

Facepulls +2.5lbs and 2 reps

Shoulder Press +5lbs and 1 rep

Hamstring curls +4 reps

Hanging straight leg raises +3 reps

Not sure how to explain it. I was exhausted before training, felt like it was gonna be a bad day. The only thing that changed was my 1st pin of NPP the day before. I bumped my test by 50mgs 5 days ago. Nothing else has changed in my life. Can't really explain these results but man it felt amazing.

Npp will do that at time, you're really blasting hard. @BeMe happy to see you grow.

Ya Florida has never been known for its sports, but amazing weather an low taxes can really lure in some talent lol. Now both hockey franchises are stacked and Florida is home to the cup more often than not.

I think college sports are still pretty big down there right? I know the gators have a pretty die hard fan base. I'm not a football guy but the gators have a pretty well known legacy even up here in Canada.

college sports are big FSU and UF. U of Miami used to be big in the day but they haven't been relevant in years so people gave up on them a bit lately.

weather is good from October to early May. from May to september its just miserable. if your AC breaks then you are screwed. hot/humid and miserable from around 9am till 7pm everyday.
also low taxes is a myth. it is true that there is no state income tax. BUT our sales taxes are crazy high and our property taxes are ridiculously crazy to compensate for that. so the tax man will still get you but the tax system punishes the middle class and benefits the rich only. the reason is we have a really dumb system where the longer you stay in your home the lower taxes you pay, but if you sell and buy another house 3 years later you pay 6x the taxes or if you are buying your first home or its a non primary home you pay 12K vs. 2K what your neighbor pays. so if you buy a home here you are going to be paying way more then your neighbor who has been living in their home 20 years cause each year there is a 3% cap on their taxable value IF you stay in your home. it is the dumbest system you can imagine and can't be fixed cause it is in the state constitution. so the problem will get worse and worse. pretty soon people will be paying 25K a year in taxes on a normal home, while their neighbor pays 2-3K.

plus we pay the highest property and car insurance rates in the world. it costs more to insure your home and car then your actual payment.. this is why 33% of people in this place drive around with no car insurance, so the rest of us have to get additional insurance on top of our regular insurance in case i get in an accident and the person who hit me doesn't have insurance. whenever there is a hurricane they are on tv crying that they dont' have homeowners insurance. oh and btw even if you do have homeowners insurance it is LEGAL for the insurance company to deny your claim in this state lol. i kid you not this is true. so many people don't even bother to get it and just take that gamble. I don't carry any myself cause it would cost me around 9K a year to insurance my home. and i get very minimum car insurance so i can afford it. if you are a 20 year old male then heaven help you cause you are looking at 5K a year in car insurance with a huge deductible. i have no clue why anyone would raise a family here and many don't

but yeah if you are a rich athlete i guess it doesn't matter but the middle class here gets completely fucked over. this is why domestic migration is LEAVING FL for other states in every age group aside from 50-70 years old. and its been happening for years. the population growth is from international migration and boomers only. younger people are fleeing out of here in droves. it costs more to live in FL now then it does in LA or NY. except we make far less $$$.

I hear the fishing in Texas is pretty decent..maybe time to move? They have serious fresh water fishing and I know the deep water is good there around the rigs.

Geez it's crazy hearing the truth about Florida. My parents just sold their place in Sarasota last month. They were snow birds for the last decade but they got fed up and came back. Hurricanes, insurance mania, and a nutty HOA drove them away. My dad was always complaining about stuff like you're mentioning but I don't think it was nearly as bad for them as it is for you. Sounds like Florida really punishes the working man and caters to the wealthy or out of towners. A lot of the stuff you mentioned is pure idiocy... Florida has a really great marketing team because up here it's nothing but sunshine and rainbows in Florida. All the boomers dream of going down there...well they did before Trump lol. I can't believe those property and auto insurance tax rules. Where is the logic??? Rental prices are pretty absurd too I'd imagine.

My best friend moved to Florida and he loves it. He never told me any of this. Probably cuz he's always trying to get me to come down lol. He owns a hotel and he had one in Jacksonville in the ghetto and sold to go to Daytona Beach. He told me his insurance was 4x in Daytona compared to Jacksonville and they was 2 years ago. I should ask him how bad it is now and why he never told me all the stuff you just mentioned lol

yes that is what makes no sense. the rents cost more here then LA or NY yet people make nothing. it eats up 80% of your income just in rent. like you said a lot of people i know are moving to cheaper states like texas, NC, GA, NV or interior Cali where its much cheaper. hard to move to a cold weather state after you are used to the heat.

yeah i forgot about the HOA's. there are places where you pay literally 2500$ a month to the HOA lol. we are talking regular townhomes, not rich places. it is to cover unforseen expenses. the problem is usually 50% of HOA goes to insurance since insurance is so high. and everytime a hurricane hits it goes up more. you also have things called special assessments and those suck hard. one place i lived we had to fork over $60K cause the outside of the townhomes had to be brought up to code plus we had to get rid of the termite issue.

another funny thing about FL is how bad our hospitals are. so talk to any old person here and they will tell you to avoid certain hospitals which is something that makes no sense to me. i have a nurse neighbor and she even says if you ever have an emergency avoid this or that hospital. drive the extra hour to go somewhere else. that is bizzare. you would think a freakin hospital would have some sort of standards. and our schools are even worse. i worked as a teacher here and the kids didn't even get their own school books, they had to share in groups.

it is just a really weird state where old people don't give a shit about any quality of life. they just sit in their homes all summer blasting the AC until they die lol it is a complete marketing where they make FL look so nice with disney and all that. the truth is the people who work at disney within miles of the parks live in absolute squalor. it is so poor. they actually made a movie about it called the florida project. but tourists are oblivious to all that

 

[stevesmi]

btw I’m waiting for the game tomorrow
who are the 3 rats on the panthers you were telling me about

1. marchand
2. tchachuk (i'm assuming)
who is the 3rd?

That rat piece of shit Bennett. The worst part is all 3 of them are highly skilled guys and if it weren't for their rat like nature I'd respect the shit outta them.

Watch all the little sneak shit Bennett does behind the play. Dick head. Toronto would've beat Florida if Bennet didn't run our number 1 goalie and give him a concussion. Bennet knocked Stolarz out for the rest of the series and our backup sucks. Toronto was owning them up to that point and then Florida basically steam rolled Toronto in the last game.

yeah they all did that to the lightning players. hitting them well after the play and no penalties called. they certainly found a loophole in the playoff system where they can do that shit and get away with it

"Sitting blasting their AC waiting to die" has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard LMAO. The hate is so real.

From what you've explained it really sounds like Florida has a massive shortfall in the budget and they're trying to make it up off the backs of the working class and cut services to the bone. From the outside looking in that's how it sounds.

The real question is what happens when the old people die and no one wants to move to Florida cuz the truth gets out. All people leaving are definitely spreading the word. It hasn't gotten up here yet but we'd be the last to know cuz Florida the state literally advertises up here with tv commercials and billboards. I've never seen a state advertise until Florida.

But the fishing is unreal so it's quite the dilemma. Florida is by far and away the uncontested fishing capital of the world.

Ya the worst part is they get away with it and then they score. Bennet and Marchand have been on fire these playoffs when they should be living in the box for all the shit they pull

so that demographic shift is already happening

in some counties literally 15% of the population only is under 18. ask your parents if they ever saw kids in sarasota like playing in the streets. its very rare. there is ONLY 1 county in the entire state that has a majority population under 18 and that is where there is a huge puerto rican population who love big families.

there literally is no future in this state.. its very similar to what happened in Japan over the past 20 years where there are literally no kids anywhere. the only hope is international migration and more old people moving in to drive population growth.

there were a lot of employers who came to FL and they quickly realized there was nobody to hire. all the young talent is leaving to other states.

yeah the fishing is really good but they are ruining that too with all the building on the coasts and pollution. they just passed a bill allowing roads to contain toxic chemicals that will run off into the lakes and oceans. that won't work out well in the future

Is there anything the government can't ruin...toxic roads near an ocean?!?! I already hated DeSantis just off principal but hearing all these I have more of a reason now. My dad would always go on about what a great guy DeSantis is and I would get in some pretty heated discussions about it. DeSantis just siezes any ideological battle of the moment and peacocks around like he's the great saviour fighting the good fight. Meanwhile he's running the state into the ground. He's almost as bad as Bennet lol

Man it's sad to hear all this. Minus the Hurricanes Florida has everything going for it. Kinda like California in that way. If the government would quit messing it up it could be the greatest place in the world to live. California especially...they have everything there.

This is why I'm just saving up to retire early and move to the interior side of BC. It's kinda like California north and like you described the interior is still beautiful but not crazy expensive. Live far away from everything in the woods where the government has minimal effect on my life.

yeah man the environment is very important to me. it makes me sick what these people are doing. they are also trying to turn our few state parks along the coast into golf courses i kid you not. tiger woods and his pals are planning that. they can't just leave the nature alone

FL has had a problem for years with lake okeechobee. it became a huge ag place with the sugar industry. its a very shallow lake and is prone to flooding. so what they have to do is constantly drain the lake into the ocean when there is a lot of rain or during hurricane season. and the problem is the lake is full of pollution and is basically a big toilet bowl for pesticides and herbicides from the sugar industry

so whenever they dump that water it kills all the wildlife. fish litter the beach dead. its very sad. on those days you won't catch a single fish as they flee to cleaner water.

i don't know where in the world they really do a great job protecting the environment as they should. costa rica used to be that way but even in recent years they have started to ease up on those protections. the sad thing is the same people who are supposed to be the sportsmen are the same ones who vote in these people. that is the big issue

Are you serious..wtf a golf course in a state park!

I used to dream about fishing in Lake Okeechobee when I was a kid. I'd watch shows like the BASS tour, Bill Dance, In Fisherman, Bob Izumi, and all the guys go down there and catch 10lb monsters. It seemed like heaven to me as a kid. It was a dream to fish Okeechobee for Bass, Lake of the Woods for Musky, and the Frasier River for Sturgeon. I've heard there aren't many big Sturgeon left in the Frasier, hopefully Lake of the Woods is still good and maybe I can hit one childhood dream spot.

Ya I take conservation pretty seriously too. I've been catch and release all my life and almost fought people for fishing outta season on our lake.

In Canada our government pretends to care and talks a big game but there's zero enforcement. If you're a Canadian and do something wrong they'll hammer you but if you're a visible minority it's always a slap on the wrist and they know it.

A bunch of Chinese guys drove their Toyota minivan with bald all season tires onto our lake a few years back and got stuck. They came to ask us for help cuz we had ATVs, sleds and winches and I told the guy to let me see what he had in his bucket and we'll get them off the ice. He laughed it off and I said no I'm serious, he wouldn't show me the bucket so we left them.

It's gotten so bad around where I live that they're catching people with nets in the rivers netting carp or salmon and trout on the spawn. They get them on video and the cops do nothing...drives me insane.

Atleast Florida is upfront about their lack of fucks given. Canada loves to pander to the people who care then do nothing they promised or don't bother to enforce the law.

bro mobster not british. he from queen of scots or irish. his people steal my land

I was just listening to the podcast and we're both wrong. @Mobster is from Wales. We literally guessed every UK country except Wales lol. He's probably used to it though cuz no one from North America guesses Wales I bet.
