It's not too strange for a bodybuilder to gain 15-20 pounds in a week after a competition, in water and ice cream, so yes, kinda.

Was planning to skip gym time because of cold. Colleague made me go anyway, and it is true: you never regret it afterwards.

Lifting at 80-90% capacity because you have a cold and realizing that you are lifting the same that you did at 100% two weeks ago is a wonderful thing.

Just go look at pictures of klokov he's a 6 footer. I clean and jerked 100kg for the first time since I hurt my back in April. I'm really happy despite the press out elbow. Feels good to actually be able to train again instead if "take it slow for a few more months".

I like slow or no music when I'm snatching but I need it to clean and jerk, that poo poo is exhausting.

i've watched a few vids of this dude working out in his gym in china and the lack of extremely loud rock and roll or techno blasting in the background makes me smile.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
I got a funny story about Xiaojun:

I happen to go to the same gym as Xiaojun (China Gym). As roymorrison pointed out, he has a very robotic schedule: He spends precise amounts of time on every exercise and predictably rotates through the various gym stations like the hand on a clock. In fact, one time, something knocked him out of "sync" and he somehow got ahead of himself--when he realized this, he stood perfectly still for three entire minutes and just stared at a wall. No kidding. Like, he didn't blink or move or anything--just thousand-yard-stared into the wall.

Anyway, about thirty-six minutes into his routine, he will take a bathroom break (he consumes so much fluid throughout the day that he apparently urinates 14-15 times a day). So here goes Xiaojun, wandering into the bathroom. Usually his trainer will block the door and prevent anybody else from using the bathroom (something about "shame" or something) but on this particular day, nobody was assisting him. I want to get a closer look at this guy and see what his manufacture date is (so to speak), so I follow him in there.

There he is, squatting over a toilet like some kind of animal. His bare feet are planted on the seat and he is reaching up and giving the stall walls this furious death grip. He is already looking at me when I come around the corner. Admittedly, I'm startled by what I see...but I can't help but continue watching the spectacle. Suddenly there's this loud pop, and I see a dark blur launch out of Xiaojun's bottom and into the toilet with such ferocious speed that I instantly feel dizzy trying to parse what had just happened.

Xiaojun's still holding onto the stall walls, so he pulls himself up off of the toilet, his entire body rotates backwards and upside down, and then--as his arms are about to pop right out of their sockets--he drops himself head-first into the toilet.

Needless to say, I turned right back around and beat feet. I've never been back there.

The toilet thing probably has something to do with him having spherical thighs.
