I hope everything works. If I had one of those hercules rings to hold up for the power of Zeus, I’d be totally set.

Ouro,
I hope you start feeling better soon.
However just so you know, we’re not accepting this “quad pain” and “can’t squat” as an excuse if you come back from Moosejaw without a squat record. So you might as well just get it sorted out now, because you are going to tear up the platform in Moosejaw![/quote]
Happily, I’m almost pain free at the moment. Well pain free in the quadular region. However, what has helped me the most is the long stride dork walk. It has really stretched out my quads and hips so they are not big bunched masses of pain.
Since Friday, I’ve gone walking three times each day as well as done glute activation exercises approximately every hour through the course of the day.
I still have pain in my hands, feet and face from doing these walks in arctic like conditions. To say they are brisk, would be an under statement.
I mentioned to my 14 year old daughter that I probably look completely dorky walking outside with the John Cleese, huge stride, arm swinging walk. She very sweetly reminded me that if I were really all that concerned about how I looked, I wouldn’t be a powerlifter with all the associated very sexy gear.
I also washed my tenants dishes this evening. I suppose when the cops took him away, he didn’t have time to tidy up. In order to avoid any smells, I washed the dishes, cleared partially eaten food off his counters and emptied his trash,
Good, I’m happy to hear you won’t be squatting bar only in MJ. Time is passing quick, I’ve got about 8 more sessions until rest up time comes along.
Ouro,
Good to hear that you’re feeling better.
But, what is you’re daughter talking about, “powerlifting gear not sexy???”

Diana - Your time for redemption is near!!!
You’re amazing! The workouts look great, and before I read this I was afraid kids killed your body, but you are proof they don’t

Thanks for the compliment on the workouts. It really is a lot of fun.

Am I wrong though? Seriously, there are there not days when you want to hide from them?
For instance last night I had to tell my youngest 3 or 4 times to stop talking. She talks like she has a sound track to her life. It’s a constant flow of words that never ends; narrating everything she sees or does. I’ve told her before that mommy has no more room in her ears for more words and if I tilt my head sideways little letters and words will come tumbling out. Like water eroding stone, it erodes my sanity.

At times, definitely.
It seems to run the spectrum, sometimes you just want peace and quiet and othertimes I can’t get enough of them.
PS- My oldest daughter (almost 8) also talks non-stop…about anything/nothing.
Great to see more Canadians on here, Diana and Ouroboro…both making the trip to MJ in April?

That’s right. We’ll both be there. Do you know if there is an official lifter list yet? Rhea’s informal list on the forums is still from last Friday.
Court also has a log on here and is a killer pl but won’t be in MJ. She competed in the Niagara open with me, Diana and Ruggerlife (who is an unofficial powerful women groupie and dwarf).

Until there’s a group on Facebook, it has to be called unofficial.

Thanks for the clarification, I’ll bring it up at the next meeting.
Note to self, need to check if this means I don’t get a tax receipt for my membership dues?
I just got in from the chiropractor. It looks as if my problem is actually weak lower abs brought about my muscle damage from having kids. I’ll be selling them later today.
He explained the body chain and how the weak abs causes my lower back to tighten up resulting in glutes not activating, culminating in over contracting quads at the bottom of the squat.
When I squat on Friday, I’m trying it with two belts. One (cloth belt) will be around my hips to keep the hip bones pulled in tight. My Inzer will be around my waist. No doubt I’ll look like a complete tool but until everything is working properly my chiropractor thinks this may be the way to squat and make sure all the bits are working. We’ll see how it works out.
I have more exercises and will be seeing him pretty frequently from now till the meet.
He had his hands in my pants which was nice. I fell like a smoke now.

Both ends of my pants? Just the top end. It’s the most action I’ve seen in quite some time. Possibly since November.

I guess I get sloppy seconds today… you got them last Wednesday, I guess it’s only fair. I’m seeing him tonight.

It could be thirds. Karen is seeing him after work today as well I believe. I think he has a harem.
