bummer. moving and gentle stretching is probably the way to go.

Yeah for my feet i use my lax ball and ive been using my foam roller 3x a day.  Trying to just stick it out pain wise and not take any pain killers.  I am feeling decent and this week will just be running and bw stuff.  Idk why my back went to shit doing cable crunches but I think I might just stick to stuff like planks for abs.

I will also be picking up supplies to build a deadlift platform and advertise it on shit like craigslist.  Looking at the materials, I can build one for about 150 dollars for more higher quality plywood(then add on the price of screws, washer, glue, i guess wood stain stuff).  If i were to make one for myself, id buy the plywood that is 10 dollars cheaper per sheet.

Rogues platform is over 350 dollars and it has a rubber middle, idk why you would want to deadlift on that.

So if i could make one for 160 dollars and sell it for 250 I think and if it sells quickly and get interest built then I think I would just keep on building them.  Also, if they want band attachments I could do that for more and that is pretty easy to do too, the pegs are 60 dollars but you can just put caribeaners on and those are only what 5 dollars a piece.  Granted, pegs are more convenient but youd save 40 dollars.

Oh yeah, the rogue platforms are frame alone, the rubber tiles are 400 dollars lmfao.  A 4x6 horse stall mat is 40 dollars, I guess the crossfit games has made it so rogue thinks they can rip people off.


Anyway, that is the plan, I will shop around and maybe start building one next week.

My back felt super tight from cable crunches and right now it legit feels like I fucked my back up.  I'm at the gym but idt I can do anything, mostly my mid back and lower it's tightening right up where it's hard to breathe.

Before i went to the gym it just felt uncomfortable but as i was driving i could feel it tightening up

So this week i will just rest it today and possibly tomorrow and just walk after that and stretch n shit and see if it helps.

Yeah i felt like I was justified in doing so because you pay to go see a movie and not be distracted by someone talking.  I mean they have commercials before the movie telling you to be quiet and to turn your phones off or whatever.  Considering they were late 40s or 50s you'd think they'd be grown up enough to know they aren't filming mystery science theater.

Also, yeah I've worked a ton of jobs and ive dabbled in everything except for computer stuff haha. But I volunteered with a physical therapist and I liked it, i watch the Barwis miracle Monday videos of his people helping others walk again and all that and I would have done that sooner but I absolutely hate math with a passion.  I seriously don't give a fuck about solving for x.  Anyway, I'm going to suck it up.

Also. I am watching some jujimufu videos of him going to a big gym equipment warehouse and a lot of the used stuff is about the same price around 450 dollars.  That is a big incentive to start one and if I get in and it makes sense, I could go that route. 

Anyway tomorrow I am going ham because I have a massage at 1230

Halloween movie review

It was pretty awesome, felt like a mix of the original and Rob zombies version.  Well it was way more like the original feel with a hint of Rob zombie.

Anyway, the movie kicked ass but the people in the theater are fuck faces.  Right from the start these troll ladies just kept yapping the fuck away. Not too far into the movie when the guy shows Michael his mask and says "I brought something for you michael."  She yelled out what a teddy bear.   I turned around and said, can you seriously shut up.  I got called an asshole but up until the end they for the most part remained quiet.  As I was leaving I got called a Jerk but they looked like textbook definition of white trash so there was no point in responding.

So I got a call from a manager at work..idk what one because where I work simply has too many managers and it seems like they just throw random letters in front of manager in their title.

Anyway, they called because I wanted to know why I didn't get the apprenticeship.  He told me that looking at reviews from managers he said there is no doubt that I am the hardest worker there but 1 manager put down that I didn't fix any issues and let PI's go into red zones all of the time.  umm absolutely false, I can fix issues with the machines in my area better than most apprentices and full timers.  He said I had an issue with their whole business model or whatever, its all stupid shit.  So I told him, well i thought I was the only one in my group that had a 5s area, i did my shift notes, i tracked my PI's, I helped everyone out, I was the only one to max out my hours. He basically went into a stutter and it went into awkward silence.

I know the manager that probably wrote that about me and hes new, a douche bag, an idiot and favored the kid that got hired over me who basically had a bed in the breakroom.

that really sucks man :/

So to sum it up, I will leave as soon as I can and I have a few options at my disposal.

good. i'd do the same. i'd be out of there real quick. fu*k those environments.

Quote
Job 1: I would live out of a suitcase, never be home, wont get to workout really, maybe a few days a week if i can get near a gym at a job site.  But, I will make an assload and within 5 years I could start a business without taking out a loan since I wont have to pay for housing, gas, etc etc

Job 2: I am looking into the International operator engineer union where I will be an apprentice and learn how to run heavy equipment such as excavators, dozers, cranes, aspestos removal etc etc where I will travel for work but probably wont be as bad as job 1 and still make really good money

Job 3: I will basically have a normal shift and work hours, no travel, decent pay but if they crack down on ethanol  id be fucked.

job 4: federal job, be able to go to school to become a PTA and I could be a PTA and do this job in any state that my license would allow.

Not gonna lie, i like job 4 the most since if I could, Id definitely move to like tenesee or something.

#1 is probably a bad idea.. no loan is cool, but, probably more worth it to have a more normal work/life environment. you won't have as much time to plot I imagine, you'll just be in a non-stop grind from the sound of it. also: no gym/working out? come on bruh, not a viable option for you IMHO.

the rest of the options all sound decent. #2 sounds kind of cool tbh, for someone who is into that. dno.

Anyway, just needed to vent and type this out, moral of the story is, you can bust your ass and be the hardest worker in a business but a group of people who never set foot out onto the production floor decides your fate.

yup.. really sucks when other people (if they suck) control your fate.

that's why I like that you've got this idea of starting a gym/business in your head. eventually if you become your own boss, you will probably be extremely happy. most of these job posts/rants you do always involve these external factors potentially keeping you down.

Also, next week I might suck it up and go for a half marathon on a treadmill or just set my time to 2.5 hours on the track and just wear my watch even though its not totally accurate and stop when it hits 13.1 miles or 2.5 hours.

find an actual half marathon maybe. you'll complete it.

peace!!

Yeah true, it's looking like I might work at the post office and go back to college to be a PTA.  That way I can open a gym and see if i can find a PT that wants to set up shop at the gym.

Today was a disaster, season 2 of making a murderer came out and I'm working an overnight so it was game over.

If i get into the post office job, there is a town where there isn't a gym and they have to drive either 15 mins to my town or 15 mins the other way to get to a gym.  Even if i have to start out small I could try to start one up there.

25 minute run about 2.25 miles

Squat
Warm up to 225
Then doubles EMOM for 5 minutes
Felt good but just getting back into legs so I'm weak but they were as ATG as I could get.

Db front squat up to 100lbs for 10
Leg press: 525 for 10

Hammy curls for 3 sets of single leg

Walk

I am up to 250 but I think that's my body evening out and adjusting to running going from 40 minutes to 25 and lifting so my appetite is up.

I watched a video of a gymnast teaching a strict free handstand push up and it looks like a future goal of mine.

My resting hr on my phone has been low to mid 50s, is that bad? Lol

nope. isGood.

Anyway

Took some Tylenol and my multivitamin and what not and just going to really wake up before I head out to the gym.

Alright haha, I like to go to the extreme when I self diagnose myself online.  I kept seeing that it could mean id have bradycardia,  I do get lightheadedness but its only on cleans and I think that is because sometimes I am bent over getting set up for too long.

55 BPM bradycardia lmfao.

no.

For awhile I had phantom smells and I was convinced i had a tumor, but it was just a sinus issue.  I would randomly smell smoke and one time I was heading home and smelled it and hauled ass down my driveway because i thought my house was on fire.

^^ that's wtf tho.... :trollface: :ninja: :trolldance:

diagnosing online is usually an awful idea :D

Ooh ok haha it says anything under 60bpm.

I'm glad ill live to see another shitty workout haha.

Today I did cleans from a little below hips on pins up to 185

Then did 4 pause clean, pause mid shin, just below knee, just above knee and upper quads then pull.

Snatches up to 135.

Blah blah blah

10:10
10-9-8....1
Snatch
Push up
Air squat

Walk n then I'm done.
