Even followed it up with another message confirming the date. i arrive yesterday to find out she was only available for 2 hours today as going to see Star Wars.... she rocked up with her family, didn’t say much other than she was very busy and very tired with work (asked no reciprocal questions) and didn’t say another word other than to grumble through the lunch we’d prepared. glad when she left... really saddened as my wife felt she had done something wrong too. theres nothing truer than you can pick your friends but not your family. Can relate to this. Family is tough cause you kinda get what you're dealt and you want to have that good connections some siblings have, but it's difficult when they are just royal words removed.

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Oh forgot to mention the screening process for a good dog breeder. I am looking at getting a boxer pup in 2020. Been contacting the best breeder in this area, but it feels like they are incredibly selective. They want people with boxer experience, with kids, big backyard, house, with a stay at home parent. I basically flunk everything they are clearly looking for. Just pisses me off cause I'd be a good owner methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an only child, siblings are a mystery to me. But my daughters have a great relationship (with us, and with each other), which makes me happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered it, but there's not a single boxer rescue dog in Norway from my research. In general rescue dogs here is also a lot more risky than bigger countries. Say England, Italy, France, Germany, US etc. you got huge amounts of rescue dogs simply due to the amount of people you got. The few we got here are far more often dogs that are aggressive or mentally unstable in some way. You just have better odds finding a normal one other places.

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Not being able to sleep after hard workouts. Normal workouts I tend to sleep rather well. Last night I powered through a heavy session, got back home, ate dinner and went to bed after about 3 hours, could not for my life sleep. Tired as feck, but able to sleep? Nope.

KenjiOgiwara Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Not sure, biochemistry is difficult and I've had it at university level I googled it after 3 hours of no sleep last night and apparantly it's a cortisol respons along with adrenalin like you say that may be the ticker. It's weird though. I normally gym between 17 and 21. Yesterday I went hard from 17 - 19 and don't think I fell asleep before 0300. Then woke up 0600 feeling just shit. That's a 8 hour window which seems excessive. Edited December 23, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 8 hour window which seems excessive. A couple of things here. Obviously you need to work out earlier if you can, working out on the evening/ night demonstrably interferes with sleep for a lot of people. Secondly working out for 2 hours is excessive, especially for your experience. In fact most professional bodybuilders will not work out for that long, Dorian Yates would 'only' workout for an hour four times a week. I know some strongmen who train for 2 hours but that's because lifting atlas stones etc is very tiring and requires longer rest breaks. You're probably over training, this can interfere with your sleep as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one was kinda mental where the sessions went on for 3 hours. Yesterday I just tried to finish the high rep part of the program the coach set up. It was 10 min rowing á 2:05. 4 sets squats, 4 sets deadlift, 3 sets bench, 3 sets lateral, 3 sets hangups, 3 sets rowing, 3 sets skullcrush, and some pulldown. It's a not a massive program, but I was really sore from the last workout. I don't know. I just feel tired. Anyway, sorry. Didn't mean to turn it into the gym thread.
