SSAB - December 13, 2024

Is the Friday the 13th?! It is! And ALMOST a full moon. Full workout in, added ten pounds to the deadlift to total 95+95+45‎ = 235. Thirty minutes on the stepper, but went mostly easy. Rows and shoulders as well. Feeling a bit of tennis elbow so had to pull back on the accessories, will have to get another band or something. Did some Chinese reading while on the warm up walk. Then Cantonese in the evening. LinkedIn video I think has to be different from YouTube or TikTok. That is to say, since it’s aimed at a more business audience, it was to look instructional for a workplace environment, ie, skill building, not just motivational blah blah blah. How is that book Crucial Conversations? Turns out I’m quite aggressive and controlling. Who knew? We all did, Steve.
