Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.

With a set up to 80 (assuming lbs) you can go a long way. 160lb in dumbbells is a fair bit and can go quite a bit of the way. For the rest of the way single leg focused exercises such as lunges, Bulgarian squats, SL Romanian deadlift, staggered stances, dragon squat etc will do the trick.

This is the silliness that is desired. Our heir apparent have yet to take up her father's penchant for silly hats. One day I hope.

For me the lack of voice acting isn't a detriment. Far from it. I much prefer the walls of text to cinematic stuffs.

Always be looking for a new job, you never know when a new boss arrives and makes it horrible.

Have yet to play it but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous does have some similar themes. If you haven't looked at it already give it a glance.

Supersetting with mobility (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi y'all. So I'm closing in on a full year at the gym. For the second time in my life I'm doing it, last time was 15-20 years ago. I'm down, I'm up and I've got the best/most fun body I've had in at least 15 years.

So naturally with a bit of retro- and instrospection I think of what is working for me. I go on loooots of classes, having someone tell me what to do and get energy from others around me is super-duper awesome. From spinning to strength-cardio and dance (I did not see my fondness for that a year ago). Working classes into my schedule often takes me to the gym 30-35 minutes early and I've been using that time doing "random" strength stuff.

But perhaps time for me to get some organization going for my self-guided pre- and/or post class workouts. And since I like moving my "new" body around I think of supersetting big(?) strength exercises with mobility work. For example squats with dead hang (or eccentric pull ups to dead hang).

So let me have your favorite mobility inserts into super sets!

Strength exercises I especially enjoy

  • Squats (including sumo)
  • Romanian deadlifts (including single leg variant)
  • Overhead press
  • Rows (barbell, alternating gorilla)
  • Kettlebell ABCs (one KB, two KB) (I know not 100% a strength exercise)

Side note: Reading the list above makes me realize I need to find some arm and chest exercise variants to enjoy

99% of what I drink is Ceylon and my supplier is my local middle eastern stores. Pick up pound of loose leaves every now and then, brand varies.

BROTHERS OF METAL - One (2019) // Official Music Video // AFM Records (www.youtube.com)
 

A fun band. Lots of skin, lots of sexy bodies. And then there is "the Voice of the Gods" whose magnificence overshadows all. On the vocal side the band is well wrought and the three vocalists plays off eachother almost like a classic boy band from the late 90's.

ELUVEITIE - Epona (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) (www.youtube.com)
 

While I do love Eluveite I cannot listen to them for longer periods of time. Just so full of everything and then some. It gets discordant tiring. Still good in a mix.

ALESTORM ft. PATTY GURDY - Voyage Of The Dead Marauder (Official Video) | Napalm Records (www.youtube.com)
 

Let's stretch my theme for the evening. Just a duo between the chaotic maniacs of Alestorm and Patty Gurdy. Well produced and everything fits well together. Very good drinking music.

ARCH ENEMY - War Eternal (OFFICIAL VIDEO) (www.youtube.com)
 

Ahhhh Alissa White-Gluz, in my opinion the queen of the harsh melodic death metal. Growls but the higher pitches does come through. Can listen to Arch Enemy for long periods without getting fatigued, that does say something.

BATTLE BEAST - King For A Day (OFFICIAL VIDEO) (www.youtube.com)
 

Let's take the vocals a bit harsher. Still clear by metal standards but I find Noora Louhimo's vocal more in line with the rest. Much less of a contrast compared to (for example) Nightwish.

Nightwish - Nemo [OFFICIAL VIDEO] (www.youtube.com)
 

Nightwish featuring Tarja. It is nice to listen to the "peak" of their vocalists. Her voice does fit the band's sound. It is all about the contrasts. And you can hear her (by then) classical training.
