i get that at costco, but they only have vanilla and chocolate and i get so tired of it and it's gross with water. so i have a tub of strawberry since tropical punch was apparently discontinued? optimum nutrition. you should NOT mix strawberry with milk. it contains citric acid. i found out the hard way.
― assawoman bay (harbl), Monday, 17 April 2017 01:37 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, the muscle milk one. It actually is a bit gross. I like the taste of the Pure Protein banana shakes much better but it's like 2-3x the cost per serving.

guy who runs my gym just gave me a long lecture about my squat form, how i was leaning over too far, how my elbows should be pointed straight down. it turns out he had never heard of a low-bar squat. i tried to explain it to him (in french, lol) and he's like "you should be careful about what you read on the internet" smh

I'm pretty sure I recently squatted correctly for the first time in my long sordid search for swoleness. Felt damn good.

do u incline?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 19 April 2017 07:51 (seven years ago) link
I had a PT session to look at my squat form. Looks like I was trying to keep my back as stiff and vertical as possible and not bending enough at the hips. Might also have something to do with the hip joint pain I've been experiencing while running too.
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Wednesday, 19 April 2017 08:25 (seven years ago) link
i haven't inclined in a couple weeks. i do sometimes.

is this cool? it has a tiny number of dls on android, but looks well established on ios? i'd mess with it if it didn't have a mandatory signup. i have a google sheet that does me pretty well...

i've only used it twice but it's good so far. i'll report back once i've had some more time with it

Didn't realize that was you. You should have said hi! Anyway, I've gone ahead and cancelled your membership and banned you from the premises for your own good.

i just discovered i can do a push-up now and i am obsessed with them and dropping down on the rug whenever i go in or out the door just to do one. i can't really do that many at a time, so just one.
― assawoman bay (harbl), Tuesday, 25 April 2017 23:35 (seven years ago) link
i should add for anyone going oh who cares, i have some super long arms and legs and it is hard

i think i love rowing now, btw, everyone should use the erg
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 00:05 (seven years ago) link
ugh no, torture. i should though.
― assawoman bay (harbl), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 00:59 (seven years ago) link
i used to do it a lot in a past life. a lot a lot. last time i did it for a few minutes at the gym i had trouble walking back up the stairs to get out!
― assawoman bay (harbl), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 01:00 (seven years ago) link
the erg is what i miss most!
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 01:05 (seven years ago) link
i've just started doing steady-state low-ish heart rate workouts, for like 30-40min at a time, not flogging myself to death on it like the cross-fitters
i'm not really allowed to run yet, so the erg is a good/time-efficient way to get some cardio
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 01:09 (seven years ago) link
yeah the flogging is doing it wrong. it pains me to see how people row. there is one guy with horrible tattoos on his leg who is the worst flogger.
― assawoman bay (harbl), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 01:26 (seven years ago) link
btw this modest lil site has a pretty good and concise treatment of both basic erg stuff and lifting programs
obv targeted at rowers but by my lights could be useful to pretty much anyone
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 01:33 (seven years ago) link
were harbl/caek ...collegiate rowers???
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Wednesday, 26 April 2017 01:38 (seven years ago) link
ha no i was not a morning person. i just liked to to 2000m like a mad man at the end of a gym visit.

yes it is the sport of talls. i would never do a 2000m for fun.

hip joint pain has gone, now I have an incredibly sharp pain in the tendon of my foot! What is going on? I'm falling apart bit by bit.

i have ~just~ gotten my squat back to the weight i *started* at last spring (d/t muscle atrophy)

thanks man, it feels good
rowed 45min today, which was also nice

Squatted in socks today and it felt great. Hit 185x5x3 with not much trouble.

did bad plate math and accidentally added 15# to my squat (which is still much lower than my pre surgery best tho)

young kids are not allowed in the weights area but 4 of them escaped from their guardian and were playing on everything, mostly not hurting themselves though i felt the need to keep an eye on them. i was deadlifting. one said "can you seriously lift that?" i said yes. i was only warming up lol. i did it and he said wow you're strong. then he asked me how much i weigh.
― assawoman bay (harbl), Saturday, 6 May 2017 00:45 (seven years ago) link
kinda felt like that kid yesterday when the guy opposite me was squatting 405#
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Saturday, 6 May 2017 13:06 (seven years ago) link
I don't even want to be able to squat 405, or at least I don't want to develop the kind of mostruous thighs one seems to need to do so. I'd be happy to just get to two plates for reps.

i bought a belt!
https://www.andersonpowerlifting.com/Anderson-Powerlifting-Single-Prong-Belt-p/kla-single-prong-4in-belt.htm
felt pretty good. not necessarily easier but... different. i think it helped a little but it'll take some getting used to, for sure. if you're not in good position, it digs like crazy. so there's that. my squats are still woeful so i'm hoping for something to change my habits tbh.
― goole, Monday, 8 May 2017 18:37 (seven years ago) link
my gym has a supply of belts available, and when I was lifting heavier i thought they were really helpful!
thinking i might invest in proper shoes before a belt, though
erg'd for an hour today, feels good man
