And....guess its over. My wife took all her stuff and left last night so theres that. and my hand is probably broken because I, like a dumbass, punched the side of the house....which is brick. Im thinking it won that battle. My bet: boxers fracture of my right pinky. We'll see. Im in hell now but Im going to go deadlift sometime today if my hand lets me.

Shit, shit and shit. Really sorry to hear that mate.

Are you guys still going to be geographically close? For your daughter that is?

Grand final ball game last night. We lost by 6. It was a really tight game and there was only a point or two separating us all game until they got a run on with about 10 mins to go to put it out to a 10 point lead. We pegged them back but just couldn't close the gap. Pretty frustrating game though. They banked 2 threes in the first 5 mins and had quite a few lucky shots drop. The kind that just shouldn't go in. Either way we had our chances too.

I told the team I'm not in for the next season so I can concentrate on lifting and then get back to hapkido over the next couple of months. Pretty excited about that. I think I will still fill in every now and then just to keep the desire to make a full blown return at bay. I get the bug if I don't play for too long and I think playing every 3-4 weeks will remind me of the good and bad about it.

makes sense, good idea.

how long have you trained hapkido in the past?

those vivobarefoot shoes look nice. love minimalist shoes.

Yeah I figured I'll probably say no to most fill in opportunities but at least if I get the desire it's there.

I started training in 2003 and trained pretty much full on for the first 4 years when I got my black belt in 2007. Have trained on and off since then and have never made a real full time return for more than a few months in a row. This is my school http://eaglemartialarts.com.au I'm still on the banner on the front page. 4th image on slide show- getting kicked and doing a kick on the right hand side. Pretty good school. Check out the videos section and you'll get a good idea of what it's like.

I'm gradually building a collection of these kind of shoes. Love em.

i used to rock vivobarefoot leather shoes, like as work shoes, until i realized that i was an adult and should dress like one at work.

the sneaks always looked cool, though, how are they on concrete?

Haha. I work in a fairly flexible environment so get to wear whatever I want outside of client meetings which is suit style.

They are super comfortable. Went for a 3k walk the other night on concrete and I certainly felt it by the end. My new balance minimus have just that little bit more cushion and I can cope with that. Calves are super tight from run now though.

Yep. I'm the same. Shipping plus exchange rate it pretty much costs more. Wiggle is ok as free shipping over a certain amount provided the exchange isn't too bad.

Thursday
A. Snatch RS15 60% take more rest if you need it.
AX. Grease The Groove Weightlifting - 2x2 -> Do 2 sets of 2 50-80% extra on the movement you'd most like to improve if your focus is clean / jerk. If snatch is your focus then don't worry about this.


B. Front Squat - RS15 Speed 60%, use a pause in the bottom if your positions need work.
bar x 5, 40 x 5, 65 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3- all paused

C. Deficit Snatch Grip Deadlifts - RS15 90-100% of PB snatch weight
40 x 5, 60 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

D. Dips 3x5 with added weight

E. L-sit to HS / shoulder stand practice 5x1-3
Tuck L-sit holds- 5 x 10s

F. Back Bridge Work
2x20s these were starting to bother shoulder too much

Conditioning - Run: 1 min on 1 min off, increase intensity each rep for 10 reps = 20 mins.
Started at 9km/hr and increased by .5 every minute. Finished on 13.5km/hr Felt pretty good. Have new vivobarefoot shoes which I ran in too. Felt great actually. Calves cramping a little at the end but this is normal for me running on a treadmill



Shoes are hella comfortable too.

I really want to get a full body diagnostic in terms of structure, posture, etc. I wonder where I can find a good and affordable person in NYC who is knowledgable about myofascial release, deep tissue massage, posture, the CNS, all that stuff. I just want my entire body assessed, then i want a painful ass massage one time to release everything, and then i want to be told whats tight, short, long, loose, overactive, dormant, and then be told what stretches and exercises i should do at home to keep myself fixed.

This ^^^

I always feel like I need someone to press the reset button for my body and tell me how to progress from there to keep it in check. Unfortunately, as I'm finding out now, getting everything diagnosed by the one person is a long shot as they always invariably miss something that you need a second person to pick up.

not to second-guess your PT but that sounds like a call for unilateral work, once you've got the pain sorted.

Oh yeah I definitely agree. He wants to get the junk around the shoulder joint and scap area sorted and will then move onto the solution. I would imagine unilateral work will be a part of it.

It does make me wonder how long I've been compensating this way and how my upper body/upper body lifting would be different if I had addressed it when it began. The popping (scap snapping syndrome) has been a fixture for at least 6-7 years. I've had so many PTs who've never blinked at it before.

Saw the physio today. Basic diagnosis on my left shoulder is:
- recovering AC joint injury from ball game 3-4 weeks ago. Around 80-90% recovered. No treatment required
- Snapping scap syndrome- I've had this for years and it's the first time anyone has diagnosed.
- Left shoulder all jammed up (technical term)- so tight especially in comparison with right side. Treatment here is spiky ball work in back of shoulder/lat, golf ball work down pec, foam roller for thoracic spine and foam roller for lats
- Lack of stability in scap- no surprises here. My left shoulder sits forward more than my right.
- Lack of musculature around scap on left side. Physio took a video to show me the size difference between my left and right sides. By the looks of it my right side is about 10% bigger then the left, especially around the scap and rhomboid area.

Goal is to address the tightness and junkiness of the shoulder first and then concentrate on the other areas that need to be fixed.

So no pressing for the next 7 days. My job is to get into those areas and concentrate on freeing up the tissue. Will resume pressing after 7 days and see the difference. Next appointment is in 2 weeks. I will lay off all overhead pressing/cleans/snatches/dips/push ups etc for 7 days. Going to suck but it's not a great deal of time and I'm better off getting this sorted sooner than later.

 :( :( :ffffffuuuuuu:

Oh well, I'm not a big fan of the processed meats tbh, once in awhile but I used speedy sauce on chicken this weekend and it made it bearable to eat so I guess I can stick with that.

Also, part of my lower lip is twitching...idk its weird

If you want to avoid cancer these days it's probably best to avoid doing anything...hang on, that probably gives you cancer too. I'm waiting for someone (Alan Aragon) to rip this to shreds so I can keep on having bacon and steak for breakfast.

Need to revise my squat 1RM. Between training at 5am and squatting everyday this has taken a hit. It will come back but my 1RM is closer to 130 rather than 140 at this stage. Not concerned. I'm feeling better and stronger overall.

Have an appointment for my shoulder tomorrow. It's been far worse since I saw my osteo last Wednesday which is concerning. I expect the usual soreness for the next couple of days but this has lasted a week now and it's worse than before I went in. It's right up through the upper trap and into the neck now too. Seeing a physio tomorrow. I've been told they're much more clinical in their approach so hopefully he can shed some light.

Also, had some feedback on my DLs during the week. My arms are never truly straight. Weird that I haven't noticed this before but I reviewed some footage and it's 100% spot on. Made a conscious effort this morning to get them straight. Was difficult but felt pretty good.
