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.

30 min jog

Banded squats (approx. 40 lbs tension)
Did small jumps up to 275 doing doubles and singles

Took bands off and did 285 and 300.

300 was a little easier than 275 with bands

Banded hack squat: tension approx 100lbs for hacks and leg press, also each set is an extra 75lbs for the sled.

So set 1: 45lber each side + bands + sled
Set 2: 1x45lber + dime.........
Set 3 to 5 increase of 10lbs per side

Leg press
Set 1: 2x45lber.......
Then each set was plus 1 plate per side up to 5 plates per side being approx 625lbs

Each was sets of 5 to 10 reps

Going to walk and loosen up and figure out more to do.  I have to work midnights so I am trying to make myself tired.

Hammy curls for 3x10 single leg

7 minute wod
Multiples of 3 with snatch and push ups

Finished round 15.

Inspirational as fuck

30 min jog

Deadlift up to 315, first time deadlifting in years, well seriously.  Felt decent, form needs work.

Then did 3 sets of 10 for bb rows and you bar rows with lat pulldowns.

Yeah, it is good to see people with disabilities like that doing stuff outside of the norm that a PT or regular doctor would suggest.  I doubt a doctor would ever recommend strongman training for someone with CP but its definitely interesting to see the results.

I guess hes a few months in and hes gone from not being able to do anything without a spotter to catch him to being able to do lifts on his own up to a certain point.  I want to see his progress a few years into strongman training.  I cant remember if it was that video or another 1 I watched where a guy competed in strongman and basically had a dead arm but was loading stones with 1 arm and it was nuts.

So update on a job, I may go back to working security at my previous job but they are getting rid of the security company and just hiring guards on as employees so thatll mean a bump in pay and benefits.  I talked to my old supervisor and he wants me on, my schedule would be 4am to Noon which i am fine with, itd allow me to train, stay at my current job and go back to college.  Even if I did the second shift which is 10ish to end, I could still do it all.  I just have to wait, I forgot which date it is for the contract to run out, I believe its in November so its coming up soon.

I figured I'm going to get a 2 inch pipe and then just get a square tube that fits snug over the 2 inch pipe.  As long as it's height is 4" the width is going to be whatever fits the best. So the beam goes over the pipe, put collars on it, bam.  170 dollar bar for maybe 60 bucks.

Leg day, had a lot to do so ran through it

squats up to 275 for doubles and what not
then box squats at 275/300/315 for doubles

drop to 225 for multiple reps

then hack squat and leg press

leg curls for 3 sets

also ran 20 minutes(had to take a dump)

Annoying guy was there and kept getting in my fucking way

Just filled up my sandbag, approximately 195lbs

I did 1 sandbag clean and i underestimated it lol  feels good though, goin to be the 150lber and 100lb bags in the future.  Or I will get the 200lb bags and just put objects in them to displace the sand so I can only fit 150lbs in it and so on.
