isaac: ian, I’m realizing that I feel uncertain about when to ask you to watch what I’m doing \[when you’re also working with abe in realtime]. like I don’t know if you’re watching out of the corner of your eye or what ian: anytime before you do a lift. does that help? isaac: maybe with part two: if I never ask you to watch, are you confident in what you observe/collect on your own over the course of a workout? ian: yes isaac: perfect

~~105~~ whoops 110

I’m remembering that this will be heavier later, so I’m focusing on making this as efficient/weightless as I can *now* - on the list is focusing on the hip drive to open the hinge on which the bar hangs

ian: 👏 👏 great job on the power clean; as you get tired on the front squats, think higher chest and taller elbows

x

ian: 👏 👏 👏

feeling much better at this point than last workout

am focusing more on keeping focus - headphones stay in, I’m only talking to Ian

115 for 12

xx

I’m glad I stopped when I was dysregulated last time (and last night in a non-gym setting) - remember this

xxxx

body faked out twice (and once much earlier); ian observes that if I can’t get the bar high I can validly catch it low and still have it be a power clean

xxxx

60 blue band bicep curls

rounds of 10 xxxx ian: arms hold shoulder-width apart; let arms fully extend on the downrep xx

I finished all the olympic complexes :)))))) v pleased

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.isaacbowen.com/2025/07/28/gym.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
