Went to LA fitness this morning for a three-day trial pass. The facility is good with lots of powerlifting cages, a ton of free weights, a sauna, a hot tub and lap swimming pool. Their powerlifting room is recently renovated. Downside: locker rooms are filthy with disposed paper towels and shower stalls could have better hygiene. Their monthly is not the most affordable though. Probably will sign up planet fitness for cheaper monthly cost - I don’t swim anyways. I love deadlifts more and more. Love the feeling when my legs and back are activated and engaged. Indeed a solid full body compound movement.

After gym, went to brunchbar. Their fried chicken is top notch and with Korean sauce for some of the fried chicken entrees (I didn’t order though). Pancakes are thick and not as fluffy as expected. I only finished one piece of pancake out of two.

Finally fixed bugs in authoring with a little help from AI and am now able to post :)

Parents are coming this afternoon and hopefully still have time for a massage before picking them up from the airport. Sunday is sunny and good.
