Christmas tree shopping and dead lifts

Posted by Elliswordpress on December 17, 2014

Shopping for cheap but fat trees at IKEA.

It looks like a grave yard here- a lot of tree corpses

We clearly bought the runt of the litter here. It had been cleaned out by the time we got here.

My fave fast food Indian place- three item curry on saffron rice with coconut naan bread.

Koryo bbq meat combo

ICDTX50 Sony voice recorder- super thin and definitely really nice looking- compared to my ICD-SX733 is way more slicker though. 🙂 I like the triple mics and build quality on my recorder.

Taipan hot soup for dinner. Comfort food with lots of MSG.

Corn fish fillet on rice at Taipan

Met S for lunch at Spring Roll Kitchen- service was non existent but the food was superb.

Fixing a colleague’s old MAcbook Pro with more RAM and clearing out their hard drive. Feels good to actually be successful on a comp fix.

REALLY surprised about the sound from the Sony SRS-X3 bluetooth speaker. Loved the bass coming out of its dual passive radiators.

Picked up a Black Friday sale on a Sony bluetooth speaker for W.

Clear LCD

Sound is ok, price was fantastic, and as a clock its great overall.

This is what it looks like when I wake up in the morning and frantically try to turn off an alarm. in my groggy state.

Saw this lovely picture of the Sony XBA-H3 on Reddit. Its still one of my fave headphones although I don’t find it as comfortable as my MDR-1R over ear headphones.

Got a good price on the Edifier MP250 plus usb/aux speaker- four speakers and a passive raditor- not really impressed with the sound but I do love the solid alumnium build.

W made legendary pork for dinner. Super fatty and super delish.

Shrimp husks as dinner is prepared.

Curry fish – super nice. I haven’t had curry fish in a while and I loved how it cut out the fishy taste.

Eggs.

Christmas decor in the mall. Forgot how crazy malls get this time of the year

Hainan chicken at Honey Bee Restaurant. Pretty good.

Good Chinese BBQ meat on rice combo.

W making home made dumplings.

Ready for the pan

Sizzling away

W making J-style omelette

Turned out really nice

Rice cakes

Saw this pic on my alma matter’s FB page- exams in the Butterdome- massive panic from my undergrad days in December, the month of huge panic and last minute cramming.

Sony Action Cam in the gym with a Joby Gorillapod. I was hitting lower chest here. Super excited to document one of the big parts of my day.

Deadlifts at 310 lbs – 8 sets of 3 reps

Adding more weight. I went straight to 310lbs at 3rd set

Tired/apprehensive. This is like every big lift- there’s some doubt in your head.

But then you just go HURGHHHHHHHHHHHHH and get all meathead and stop over thinking it and launch

And then your lower back dies and you just need to stop

And walk away for a bit.

Weighted hyperextensions

Not as good as it would be on a real hyperextension machine but this will suffice. I’m thinking I might mix up my deadlifts with different kinds next time to add more variety to lower back day like sumo lifts.
