i want some vibrams. interested to hear how you find your new shoes.[/quote]

I like them…

The WORST shoes I ever had were the ‘negative heel’ shoes called ‘earth’ I think. I was wearing them for a while as a cocktail waitress and I started to get really strange knee pain. The concept was something like - what if you were always walking in sand. Well, then I guess your knees would hurt.

I probably wouldn’t get vibrams because I need a lot of arch support. I tend to roll in. I really like the Reebocks. Mostly because my toes are staying relaxed, she shoes are very cushiony, and I’m not constantly gripping at the floor like I usually do in clogs. I think they will help my feet get better for sure. I dont know if they’d be good for running though, they’re kind of heavy. [/quote]

Your comment about foot issues reminded me of your question about my injury. My issue didn’t arise from emplacing my foot in someones ass, but from a fish tank. I think I told you about this already, but as a young, bright, inventive 9 year old, I needed someplace to sit for the game show “Win, Lose, or Draw.” The cast of 21 Jump Street was on it. As we didn’t have any furniture in the living room, and the floor was good about putting splinters in my behind, I grabbed something I could sit on: a 30 gallon fishtank. Seconds after sitting on it, I found myself on the floor with lots of glass and a large section of my lower leg mixed in. Detached, of course. So, after surgery and months of healing and rehab, I now have little to no feeling in some parts of my foot and lower leg, very little movement in my foot, and even less movement in my toes.

My love of the Vibrams stems from my martial-arts/fight training, where I am always barefoot. I’m comfortable going barefoot. These are the next best thing. [/quote]

<3 this story. lol.

damn Beast, without any feeling in your toes, you’re lucky you can walk straight…or can you walk straight? I guess Ive never seen you walk (on your feet, that is) you’re lucky they were able to put that leg of yours back on…

slightly related: my uncle mowed his tows off with a riding lawnmower, so maybe vibrams wouldnt work for him :wink: I mean since toes (with or without feeling) are probably a pre-req.

Lack of toes would defeat the purpose of getting Vibrams…

My right leg is noticeably smaller than my left. I make do, however. Just have to constantly work it, and really use the “mind/muscle” connection. And I can walk straight, although, you’ll see that I do occasionally trip. Sometimes because of things on the ground, or other times…air. I play it off well, though. This is just one of many stories.

Now…carry on with the strengthening of dat ass! :wink:

Has your butt recovered from the beer crate?

It took three days… I’m just about to do it again tonight… And actually, I would have pushed myself to do it though the DOMS, but I was like 2.5 weeks late for girl time which is weird for me. And barring an immaculate conception, I think it’s due to exercise, so I laid low and ate lots LOTS LOTS of ice cream the last 3 days, and finally. I know. TMI. but that’s my answer.

345

In kilos.

Bench
Bar x 15 x 2
22,5 x 8 x 3 - keeping scaps really tight under me, moved up the bench a bit so my arms were perpendic. to the ground rather than behind the perp. axis.
27,5 x 5 x 3
32,5 x 3 x 4 very clean set
35,0 x 3 x 3 keeping the arch, clenching the butt
35,0 x 1 x 1 different form…I was too much behind the bar. I know what i mean.
32,5 x 5 x 1 pretty clean
32,5 x 4 x 2 - I started to feel the chest burn here. Why didnt it start before this?
32,5 x 3 x dropped the bar on my chest…very…slow motion like. this was my first time going to failure I guess, and I really didnt expect that to happen!
22,5 x 8 x 2 my motto is, always get back on the horse, even if you feel like you broke all your shit and I’ve survived this long, so there.

it’s better if I keep the bar lower on my chest, I’m steadier. My form isn’t perfect, but it’s not as bad as some of the douchebags on the fing smith machines who are like throwing their right boob into it and going up crooked and slow.

seated row ;pulley?’ for lats/bis
20kg x 10 x 3
30kg x 5 x 3

low seated row
32,5kg x 10 x 1
42,5 x 10 x 3
got bored, left machine.

overhand assisted pull up
20kg assist 3 x 1
15kg assist 1 x 15sec hold
10kg assist 1 x 3sec hold

underhand assisted pull up
10kg x 2 x 5sec hold
10kg x 2 x 5 sec hold
10sec hold

rope triceps using my longsleeve t-shirt.
7,5 x 10 x 3 …

I felt weak as shit at the end of this, and I had to do some shit in the lab, so I stopped… later butt circuits.

It’s 1:00am. I guess that qualifies as later.

Did this twice. took about 25minutes. I guess I’m a slow sky humper.

Hip Flexor Stretch
10s x leg x 5

Sky Humps
50

Piriformis Stretch
10s x leg x 2

Fire Hydrant
leg x 20 x 2

leg x geometric alphabet x 1

One legged squats off my knee high bed
leg x 10 x 3

one legged squats off side turned beer crate (as high as a 1.5 liter of beer)
leg x 10 x 1

one legged squats off beer crate (1.0 liter of beer high)
leg x 1 x 20 - really notice my weak left butt here. REALLY HARD TO GET IT OFF THE CRATE.

I know my neighbors are gonna ask me if I was bonin’ last night. Except they’re from Tajikistan so they prlly wont say bonin’.

I’m gonna be a goddamn certified ass model after a month of this bullshit.
Next time I’ll try humpin with weight. umm.

Once again, you have provided a great start to my day!! Your back is impressive…and I see a bit of biceps making their way out, as well… good stuff. And damn good stuff with those one-legged squats. I can’t do those to save my life!!

Hey now. I never use the smith machine when I’m lurching up my bench while leading with my right boob.

Good work in here.

353

Back is looking awesome! I know that they are a controversial exercise (at least in some circles), but do you ever do upright rows? I think that they are the most effective trap blaster in my repertoire. I use the ezcurl bar, so I don’t risk straining my wrists.

the curl bar helps your wrists??? By upright row, you mean standing and then pulling the bar to your face?

As Vegg suggested, upright rows are not bad. I have never had any issues with doing them on a straight bar, however, I would go with the EZ Curl bar. Pull it up to your chin and really squeeze them traps on the concentric portion.

Other exercises:
Shrugs (barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, plates…don’t matter)
Face Pulls
Lateral Raises (indirectly)
Farmers Walks
