The Consequences of Fitness

[Lost Dog]

A, DB Snatch (right only)
6 sets of 2, 95lbs
2 sets of 1, 100lbs

Should have gone with the heavier ones earlier, but my form sucked, so I did some reps first.

B, Single Hand DB Swings
3 sets of 10 for each hand, 75lbs

C, Farmer's Walks (single handed)
~120' up and back twice, switch hands as needed, 115lbs

D1, Pushups (18/18/18)
D2, Drag Curls, 35lbs (12/12/10)
D3, Wrist Roller, Square Cinderblock, up forward
D4, Wrist Roller, Square Cinderblock, up backward

Went to the jacuzzi with the boy, afterward. Felt good. We didn't stay long, as we looked up to see very dark clouds. By the time we got back home, lightning was flashing around us!

OK ... Matthew, you are cracking me up!!!

Yes, the problem with Chuck's etc is that they don't support your already injured plantar fascia (PF from here on out). So while it is injured, wear some cross trainers. When it is no longer sore, or just mildly sore, you can start stretching etc. BTW, were you skipping rope in your Chucks? If so, even Ross says this is a big no-no ... too much stress on the bottom of your foot. Wear your cushie cross-trainers for all rope skipping. Or maybe those high-top cool Reebok aerobic sneaks from the picture on your blog ... you know, the ones you are wearing with the acid-wash jeans and the permed mullet.

Didja notice my "title"? You never commented if you did ... thanks ... and I did it just for you ...

She makes a point to say that, then never uses the acronym in the rest of her post.

Henceforth in this thread I shall replace "muggy Roland tuckus" with "Mr. T".

I don't even take the gloves with me anymore. My hands hurt.

Good call.

Just don't be the creeper in the corner, staring at everyone's tuckus. Do that thing we talked about before, where you speak and everything. That seems to work well.

I'm planning on the lame gym yoga in the morning. We'll see how that goes.

I had not noticed the title! Awesome. You're totally forgiven and I love you again.

I've never jumped rope in my chucks. At home, I do it in my cross trainers. I have done it in my Nike Free 5.0s, but only at the gym on a padded floor. Is that bad, too?

My mullet wasn't permed, though. That's how my hair is when it's long. Guilty on the acid wash...

Today I had a workout.

All 5x5

A1, Squat (245/245/245/245/245)
A2, Chinups (+40/40/35/25/25)

B1, Snatch Grip Rack Pulls, below knee (275/275/275/275/275)
B2, DB Squeeze Press (70/65/65/65/65)

C1, GHR (+25/+25/+25/+25/+25/+25)
C2, Woodchops H2L (120/120/120/120/120)

The squats were pretty hard. I had the bar down as low as possible. It hurt a bit, but it wasn't all that bad. I could see my left knee flaring out in the last few reps on the last two sets. I don't think that's good, right?

Wow, I guess I haven't read your log since last week. Sorry!!!

When I don't wear gloves, I find myself buying more hand lotion. This week I had to get the "udder balm" so dh could use it too. Otherwise, DD loves to give us "satin hands" treatments with the kit from Mary Kay. Dh even agrees that it's good. You could do the same thing by coating your hands in olive oil (or canola, but it's not a good source of fat! LOL) then using sugar (no splenda) to scrub them. Rinse it all off and put on a good hand lotion. It really does help.

How was yoga? I was thinking of going this week as well. Must be the new trend.

I'm more of a punch-you-in-the-arm kinda girl, but don't worry...he'll get it!

Yeah, when I first injured my calf back in December, I was jumping rope in my chucks like a dumbass.

Oh, and that picture with the acid washed jeans and your twin brother...I would have totally beat you up in high school.

Ooooohhh... Anxiously awaiting the yoga report. Any hotties?

It was really, really, really hard. There was lots of holding in one position for a long time. Hard positions. Laughable positions.

Naw. I got the reach on you.

I know you probably had the big 80s hair, anyway. You're just too afraid of your past. Probably for good reason.

Yes. There were many hotties. Of course, I don't think the puddles of sweat dripping off of me were attracting them. It was really, really hard.

I'm not sore, either. Last night, I was feeling tight and stiff in the hips and glutes, but other than that, I'm okay.

Today, workout...

A, Jump Shrugs, 245lbs (4/6/6/6/6)

B1, Sumo Deadlift, 315 (8/6/5/5)
B2, Chest Supported Row, 90 (9/7/7)

C1, Cable Rear Delt Raise, 30 (8), 35 (8/8)
C2, Pushups (19/19/18)

D1, Serratus Crunch (anchored feet), 20 (8/8/8) - ouch, my tailbone. I forgot about my vestigial tail...
D2, Crossover Hammer Curls, 35 (8/8/7)

done.

It went fast and felt really good.

I hope you wore your baggy shorts so it wasn't too noticeable.

C'mon Bill! Was the really necessary?
