I'll bite! I've been around a while (almost 2 years according to my profile) but still sorta feel like I'm poking around the pondscum rather than in the depths of the community. I like everyone well enough though :)

My name is Chelsea. I'm a grad student in DC. I grew up in the SF bay area and I don't want to go back because I prefer seasons to sunshine

-I speak/have studied 5 languages. I lived in rural Jordan at the end of 2012 and am struggling to find someone to speak Arabic with so I can keep my fluency

- a quick glance at my tags you get #grrltalk and #meowski which is me in a nutshell. my most shared posts are from international cat day about turning cats into free mobile wifi hubs https://hubski.com/pub?id=171696 , a Japanese game show with powerlifting cats https://hubski.com/pub?id=185389 , and an article about transphobic Wikipedia edits from Congress https://hubski.com/pub?id=174262

- my favorite hubski community event (?) is #pubski. i have been to exactly 1 meet up.

- I am riding on the coattails of my more-Internet-cool bf Meriadoc

- I'm working on being able to squat a bear. Grizzly is the ultimate goal but black is more realistic.

- breakfast is my favorite meal of the day

- I never learned how to ride a bike

I've met you IRL, I agree with you. Your far cooler gf exaggerates :)

tbh anyone who starts #grrlski is cooler than Meriadoc by definition

How much do you squat currently? Did you study linguistics?

arguewithatree  ·  3574 days ago  ·  link  ·  

i've fallen off the wagon b/c of finals but I was moving up to 100 last time I worked out. I've been doing SL 5x5 for 2-3 months now.

goldbludgeon  ·  3574 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I'm assuming you do full body? Legs and back one day, Arms and chest the next? 5x5 at 100 is pretty good, but try not to become stagnant.

SL 5x5 is a supposed to be 3x a week A-B, squats-bench press-barbell rows/squats-overhead press -deadlift. my last final is on saturday and i hope to get back on the horse after that!
