hah thanks m8.

how'd it go?  :ibsquatting:

Unfortunately it was one of these days where I was really motivated and felt good going into the workout but my body didn't allow me to push it at all. Lower back tightened up weirdly after warmups, hip felt a bit achy etc. Still managed to get some good technique work in with lower weights so it wasn't a complete loss haha

ahh.. all good! funny how that works though, sometimes you feel great + super motivated, and are weak af.. then sometimes you feel horrible/weak, and PR, and then there's everything in between.

the "feel horrible" but PR/perform great one always amazes me.

:( truth.

Mad respect to SAS tho: Elite Franchise. Popovich is such a damn good coach that his team beat Houston without Parker (~3 games?) and Kawhi (1.25 games). HOU obviously lost Nene but, Parker is 2x Nene's and Kawhai is 3x Nene's.  :ninja:

If I owned an NBA organization, i'd choose Popovich as head coach, no hesitation.

If they were healthy, i'd give them 2 games. :ninja:

ya.. I don't think BOS/WAS has much of a chance vs CLE either.

i think we'll all be happy though when it's GSW / CLE facing off again.. that should be a real series.

remember 2016....... THE BLOCK?!

I still remember that like it was yesterday.. what an amazing series & amazing finish... and amazing forum thread.

Interesting last couple of days. Upper back and shoulders are coming along well. Not 100% but getting there. We bought a 4 month old kelpie x border collie puppy on Sat night. Got him home. He was super shy but was gentle and let everyone pat him. He slept in the laundry no problems all night and I get up to let him out at 6 to go to the toilet. Doesn't want to come back in and tries to evade me in the backyard. That's fine. I'm new so I'm cautious. End up getting him and I'm going slow, patting him and letting him get used to me again. Pick him up and put him under my left arm. He repeatedly clamps down on my right hand and I half double over due to the shock and pain and he spins around and bites me twice in the mouth/chin. Fuck!!! Next two hours are spend in emergency with an ice pack on my face. Actual damage turns out to be minor, no through punctures and no sutures required (apparently they don't do much for dog bites due to the risk of infection). I get home and he's still on the loose in the backyard. Would not come close and my wife and I copped a few more bites on the hands trying. End up calling the ranger who takes one look at me and when told the age of the dog (4 fucking months) says he will have to be surrendered. We obviously don't want to keep him and I'm super pissed at the breeder. Ranger says there are obvious fear aggression issues that have been learned through his treatment since his birth. She says the guy will be investigated and I hope they follow it through. Feel so sorry for the little guy. It's not his fault at all. Stupid fucking humans. Feel absolutely hollow about it. Anyway, I'm healing up ok. In the grand scheme of things the damage is so minor and should be largely reduced by the weekend. Just glad it happened to me and not my wife or either of the kids. Would have been far more damaging for them.   

What makes it worse is that during the night when he was sleeping in the laundry I woke and had this incredibly strong feeling/thought that he would attack me when I opened the door to the laundry in the morning. Told myself he's a puppy and not to worry about it and went back to sleep.

Trained today.

Full warm up

Hang PC- bar x 10, 40 x 5
PC- 60 x 5, 70 x 3, 80 x F
(grip was the issue here. Was pulling all these sets with a hook grip and it just fatigued at 80. Tried again with a double overhand but the moment was lost)

Squats- bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 1, 115 x 5
Squats felt good. Resisted using the belt but did use knee sleeves. May throw the belt on next week or the week after when I get closer to that magical 125-130 (magical for me as that's where I usually stop)

Went to the track when my kids were doing aths about 45 mins after squatting. Warmed up and was going to do some med intensity sprints. Warm up went fine. First push off the right hammie was having none of it. I tried a few more times without luck and called it.

damn dude that is absolutely HORRIBLE.

:pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :(

In some better news I spoke with the pound where he ended up and they gave me an update. He's been sent to another facility for testing and potential rehab with the hope that they can retrain him and give him some kind of home. Really hope that's the case and that the little thing gets a chance at a new life.

In some even better news we got a 7 week old German Shorthaired Pointer pup last week (he's now 8 weeks old).


So far so good and he's turning out to be a great addition to the family.

great news on both.. that is a seriously cute pup.





looks like a serious dog.. awesome.

long distance walking is amazing & underrated. :headbang: Only issue is how much time it takes.. but sometimes that's the purpose, great for the brain.



LBSS, were you ever able to do flips, handstands or cartwheels as a kid?

I've never done cartwheels, but I could actually do handstands & front flips, and i'd back flip into a pool. But I lost all of that around ~12 or so.. and now I definitely don't have the balls to try flips, unless maybe I was in a facility to prevent me from snapping my neck. Funny how that works.

- run: ~3 mi
-- surprisingly fast considering my effort level.. ran at recent ~9 min/mi pace and was low 8's instead .. pushed it a bit more at the end



chest/sternum a bit sore while running.. all of these BW exercises really hitting that area hard.

jumps & running felt decent.

That guy does the GHR same as me but the longer you do it the more you bend at the hips probably when you reach 10 after its a struggle.

Ya taje has some slight bend going on, which definitely helps. He could also do them even more strict/perfect, but for less reps.

I've never even been able to do half of a PMGHR.

Quote
Those are really deadly for hamstring, once you finish you will feel it a lot in the hamstring but its a good feeling.

yeah, i love that feeling.. feels soooooooo good.

Quote
I progressed from hands pushing to doing it like that. GL

damn! nice!

i'm going to take the slow road and just keep slowly chipping away at them.. i'll let the progress come to me, not going to chase it.. chasing it with PMGHR's is too dangerous for me - i've already experienced hamstring tendonitis issues from them etc, but that's when I got greedy.

pC!
