that is interesting that you find training helpful when flo is in town. seems to be a fine line for me with mobility and lighter than usual weights being good and trying business as usual resulting in minor injury / strain. i had forgotten all about dips!

do you do any scapular stability prehab stuff?[/quote]

um…no… I dont know any scap stability prehab stuff. do you know any?

re: aunt flo, the harder I work the rest of my body, the less it seems to hurt… + 2000mg ibuprofen, no joke. or im on the floor/under a desk, dying.

…didnt want to lift with hips, but I did want to stretch them out. they’re getting stronger…

basically failing on grip a lot, I guess I should bring my gloves to the gym and put them on during moments like these.

Leg drive in rowing finally clicked, I now understand why it’s considered a full body activity. WHOA

Yeah, it is. I did some rowing yesterday and my hammies are a little sore.

good girls!! SPANK !!

rowing - leg drive + hang off the lats = good. slow up the slide, fast back. keep your shoulders relaxed… dont over grip.

rowing-

1000m 2:08,4/500m
2:30 rest
1000m 2:08,3/500m
2:30 rest
1000m 2:07,4/500m
2:30 rest
1000m 2:07,3/500m

taking it easy still with the rowing… but i’ll start kicking it up next week. I like these intervals. forces me to have some discipline in my life. I wish i could have done 10 more, but I didnt eat that much today, and I was afraid of being tired for part 2.

part 2

kg x sets x reps

push press
22,5 x 3 x 5
25,0 x 3 x 5

triceps with help - i would find myself superbadass if i could do 60 BW dips.
45 x 2 x 12
40 x 3 x 12 -10kg!!! :slight_smile:

wide grip pullups with help - gloves really helped me get through these. normally i cannot do it
40 x 4 x 12
35 x 1 x 10

chins (underhand) with help
35 x 5 x 6

stretch/yoga/headstand etc

I have added your fire hydrant move to my existing glute activation work. Makes me feel the sexeh!

Your new (red boot) avi is just beyond fucking hot.

That is all.

Because of you, Bre I now pay attention to the users of the rowing machines at the gym.

I strongly suspect most of them have no idea how to use them.

I’m planning on trying them a couple of times before my recovery month.

That new avi pic is… well… I can’t word it any better then Hallowed did.

So Bre, what’s it going to take to get you off your head and working on those handstands?

i was thinking this the other night - i will ask them to open up the little special secret aerobics area for me to practice in…

is this actually going to make me stronger, or just make me look like an asshole?

Your mediocre is currently my badass. It’s like Nadia’s ‘easy’ 10 mile runs.
