[I ate] Tex-Mex in Hiroshima, Japan (i.imgur.com)

I was in Hiroshima and found this little Tex-Mex restaurant near the bomb dome. It was great, and I say that as someone originally from Texas. Search for it if you’re ever there.

Had a terrible test day, 21 days out (www.instagram.com)
 

I was only able to hit 96% on squat, 92% on deadlift, but got a 3% increase on bench, from 270# (122 kg) to 280# (127 kg).

I did take a two week trip during training and had an SI joint tweak around the same time that made me train easy for a while, so that may be it. I’m surprised about deadlift though because I recently pulled 460# (208 kg) off short two inch blocks.

Maybe I just had a bad day? Now I’m not sure which attempts to take at the meet.

Thoughts?

What are you doing this Shabbat? (lemmy.ml)
 

I’m going to shul and will be playing games with my wife. I’m going to start rereading Heschel’s The Sabbath too.

How about you?

Favorite PR day music? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have my final test day before my meet coming up on Sunday and I'm looking for some really heavy/hard music to listen to during my attempts.

What is your go to music for this?

To start it off, here are three of my favorites:

Best way to recover fully before meets or test days? (lemmy.ml)
 

I have a test day coming up on Sunday and will be treating it as a mock meet (my meet is 23 July). My knees and lower back feel a bit beat up still. My program gives me about a week of deload sessions before testing so I'm good with that, but I'm wondering what I can do to help my knees and back.

Any suggestions?

Favorite powerlifting / strength training books? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm going to go with Scientific Principles of Strength Training. A lot of good stuff in there. I have Boris Sheiko's book but haven't started it yet. I've heard it's not so great but I love his programming so picked it up anyway.

What are some others that are good, informative reads?

Looking for critiques on my long running webmap project (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm a ham radio operator and use what's called packet radio frequently. This is a mode that is essentially a computer network over radio. It's useful to know the location of other packet stations so you know where you can "hop" to, by making multiple connections.

So I wrote some Python that automatically connects to different nodes and scrapes the stations they hear. I use an API to get the station locations based on callsign, and these locations are saved in a PostGIS database. I use GeoServer to serve up the layers you see in the webmap.

I'm wondering how I can improve this? Maybe someone has some ideas I can implement? I've tried adding a line layer to show a spiderweb of who can hear who, but it becomes a huge mess and causes the map to lag quite a bit.

This has been my first webmap so I'm sure there's a lot to improve. Please critique away!
