other stuff.

my kama & one of my straw hats:

been looking at "power stations" (pullup/dip towers). really can't decide. the best one i've seen so far is this:

https://www.amazon.com/Stamina-65-1460-Outdoor-Fitness-Power/dp/B00CQHGJ2I/ref=asc_df_B00CQHGJ2I/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=216844664045&hvpos=1o6&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15289672045859774597&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012016&hvtargid=aud-799728744414:pla-430658566287&psc=1



other than it being one of the most sturdy ones out there, another major benefit is it's apparently rust proof. also looks pretty cool. i like how it's simple, without a bunch of other weird attachments.

but it's only ~81" tall.. my powertec rack is ~84" tall i think.




this thing is ~90" and cheaper, probably not as sturdy tho:

so.. got me wondering if there's anything taller. apparently there's some "solid trapeze rigs":

https://trapezerigging.com/products/elite-xl-freestanding-portable-pullup-bar



one cool thing about that.. it adjusts (shrinks) so u can do dips with it. it also assembles crazy quick, it's portable. can put it in a bag and take it with u pretty fast. saw a vid of some lady assembling it very quick.

just doesn't look at sturdy as the first one.

but i could also fasten it into the ground.

PLUS, I could use my rings in it.. alot easier than the other stations.







nice article on stuff:

just found this, probably the best i've seen so far. almost looks custom made. really nice with those parallel bars, love this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH93rYNo7BY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH93rYNo7BY</a>

^^^ i should find someone to build me that. lmao. wonder if it could be done for ~400 or less (USD). that one is listed at 400+ EUR.

If you get a tower, I definitely recommend that it's one where the chinup bar and the dip bars are on opposite sides. The one I use has them both on the same side, and that's been really annoying. Feel very constrained when doing chins.

thanks for the info!

ya, the main things that are preventing me from buying something are sturdiness & these things being too narrow/small. i'd love more room to do rings etc.. and not feel like i'm boxed in. I'd also love to do pullups without having to bend my legs on the way down. that'd be so sick.

my power rack is ok, but still i'd like even more space than my rack.

every "power station" i see, is pretty narrow and short.

that last thing i linked is what I want, sucks that i can't find anything like it in the US yet. Would be cool if I could get one custom made by some welder/beast. dno yet..

pc!

intense stretching today. AM session helped alot. tightened back up by the evening. then did some crazy stuff in the pool.

can really do some interesting stretches in the pool.. like standing glute stretch while lightly hopping up/down etc. felt pretty good. also did some intense adductor stretches in the pool.

blows my mind how it can disappear, come back, disappear, come back, etc. sacrum wrecked. lulz.

lots of yard work/house work today, 2 pool sessions (pool stretching as well - intense adductors/split stuff).

~30 min lacrosse ball on sacrum/sacral spine. gonna attack it hard the next few weeks.

some guy i saw today during my session. guy on a bicycle, with a maltese standing on his back:

not something you see every day.. this #floridaman was riding his bike with a #maltese standing on his back.. impressive but wtf? swipe 👉
.
i saw him 30 or so minutes earlier, but was too late to get a good photo. then he rides passed me again, dog barks at me lol, and i got a decent shot and some video. lmfao. dog seemed like a pro up there..

legs/glutes/hips feeling better.

07:30 PM: pool / pool stretch
- major adductors (deep split stretch)
- right one is crazy tight, has been since before my sacrum/glute/ham got jacked up, but even more so afterwards. it's part of the problem for sure.
- loosening it up lately has been helping it seems.

09:30 PM: 1.5 hour lacrosse ball
- dug in really hard to right piriformis/glute
