04/23/2019 - Just had perhaps my most dominant offensive performance in my history of playing pickup basketball

Scored my team's first 9 points, and 9 of our 10 total points

Granted, we lost 16-10 but that's not important! It's not like basketball is a team game or anything lol

Figured that if I wanna be a tumblr person, then y'all should at least know what I look like so naturally gotta find some recent gym selfies with favorable lighting 🔥🤗

Update for 10/03/2018

First time hooping in weeks, since studying/work/hurricanes been getting in the way. Shockingly, my rhythm and jumper were both fairly decent considering the time off. Had 2 steals back-to-back in the first time, and knocked down a couple threes.

3 games played: 3 wins, 0 losses

Total record: 16 wins, 12 losses

Well today was hot garbage and a total anomaly

After coming off my arguably my worst offensive day of basketball, I had one of my best. In all three games, I scored in the double-digits which normally happens about once a year since we only play to 16.

Yet, we still lost all three games.

Helps me realize a bit of the pointlessness of keeping track of W-L records when basketball is a team game and I can only affect the result so much. But fuck it, already did it for 22 games so gonna keep it going and keep adding to that W column

Total record: 13 wins, 12 losses

One pickup game today

Yesterday it was a struggle for me just to leave bed because my legs were being uncooperative so only one game tonight was fair

1 game played. 0 wins, 1 loss. 5-on-5 full-court to 16. We were hot garbage. I was useless on offense. But I did get 2 blocks which is shocking because normally I get 2 blocks in one calendar year so yay defense

But that still brings my total record down to 8 wins and 6 losses.

Finally got back into lifting tonight though. Gonna start including my lifting updates into these as well because I’m trying to hit some goals (namely 225 in bench and 300+ in deadlift and squat). Nowhere close to that at the moment though. Two months ago, I hit a new personal best by getting to 220 pounds in benchpress...and then I plateaued at that weight for weeks and gave up for a couple months. Then I went back today and only put up 165 lbs. Couldn’t even put up 1 rep of 185. Hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to. Gotta be great though.
