In Australia, we’d call it the Bradbury strategy, named after a speed skater who won a gold medal when the 4 or so skaters in front of him fell over on the final lap. Keep doing your thing and wait for everyone else to fuck up.

The big question is what would you want to get out of doing more accessory exercises? If you’re hitting all the muscles you want to hit, and it looks like you’re doing the classic routine that hits the big areas evenly, I dont see any issues with 2 per week, you’ll still get stronger and grow muscle, depending on how weights and reps. Further, more workouts equals more fatigue which equals higher risk of injuring yourself, so if you just want to do accessories for the sake of doing them, that’s just burning energy to wear yourself out, and you could probably do a better job of that through cardio. I do a couple of accessory days myself, but that’s more shoulder and wrist work to help my tennis, as well as a functional leg training day in amongst there since I work outdoors a lot. It all comes down to what you want out of it and what your body will allow.

I got back on the Warframe wagon with the Whispers in the Walls update. After a long break, I’m impressed how much better it is, and it’s hooks are firmly back in my brain. The new location and the throat chanting type soundtrack from the semi-hidden boss regularly flash into my brain at awkward times.

I love these word cloud things, because you can see the shitposts float to the top as the class gets in on the action. A palaeontology class once did one asking why we thought life began moving from water to land, and we all just watched the word Craig get bigger and bigger. Fucking Craig, this is all his fault.

Just hit a couple of new PBs this week: 270 pounds on the bar squat, and 335 pounds on the deadlift. Pretty happy with myself

I liked that Mike Patton voiced both the Darkness and also the Anger Sphere from Portal. Horrifying mass of snakes, blades and tentacles, then a harmless orb.
