Good idea. I’ll get on that right away. 
The wrist goblin seems to be mellowing out but I don’t want to undo the progress by hitting upper body too often or aggressively, so I’m easing up on anything that requires a grip.
Also… I think the whole reason this thing developed is because I was repeatedly dry-firing and drawing from an EDC holster instead of a competition holster which is way more ergonomically correct. It’s like night and day. The belt I put together last week (in the video above) and its holster are better in every way. It even looks cooler… which matters.

No supersets this time. Just 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps on most of those or about 1 RIR.

Had my first experience with one of these.
My arms have never jiggled like that before.
And then I got to try out another thing.
This was a whole fundraiser I went to on Saturday.
Then on Sunday I went shopping and bought myself flowers. Gotta even it out a bit.

The look on your face at the end of that video is priceless.
And you’ve inspired my daughter: “That looks fun—I want to do that!”

Heck yeah! The 308 in the second video gave me a bit more of a thrill though.
I was slowly pulling the trigger back and it seemed to take forever to hit the wall, so the anticipation was building up to a point that I almost couldn’t handle. My friend taking the video didn’t capture the first shot, but I actually yelped because it was such a huge boom after such a long trigger pull.

I came here expecting leg training excitement and hung around for the jiggle.

They hit like a truck, huh? I love those. I was used to like, .22 and .223, and my buddy broke out his FAL, and I just jumped right on it. POW! Surprised the heck out of me!

I used to get those cysts when I was young(er). Usually when I was trying to crush the Captains of Crush grippers. I could not tell you why. When I would quit, the cyst would slowly fade away. I do not recall ever thwacking it with any books. But you can.

This is a relief to hear! So far the consensus is to thwack it.

the 249 is cool. Hard to control for sure.
the m240 was so much worse lol. I was on the range and the NCO was telling me to control it… im there at like 155lbs like HOW???
Its a bit easier in prone. Shoulder/collarbone does not appreciate it more, though.

Wow! What a blast! And I can imagine that would’ve been tough to control.
Shooting from a prone position would’ve been awesome to try, but they weren’t set up for that.

That One Time I Got Shot in The Head
Not really. But kinda. Here’s what happened.
I was at a match on Saturday: outdoor range, handguns, etc. So each of the stages are set up in these things called berms. Well, behind the handgun berms are long gun berms. BEHIND them. So that means, when you’re shooting handguns you can hear bullets and crap whizzing overhead because the long gun berms are slightly higher up than the berms in front of them (the ones we were on).
So typically, those projectiles (bullets? pelts? BBs? Buckshot?) fly right over head and it sounds a little dangerous, but you get used to it.
So, I had just completed the stage we were on and I was mid-sentence chatting with Jim, when something struck my head. It felt like a hard pop and down I went. It didn’t make me fall but I remember just lowering to the ground. I could hear myself breathing hard and Jim asking questions, and then I was surrounded by my squad and husband saying I got shot in the head.
I was wearing a hat and it didn’t break the skin so it was fine, but it left a welt on my temple. Luckily I was able to shoot the final stage after that.
My head loves one-sided migraines on the right side of my head, so getting hit there kickstarted a multi-day headache… and unfortunately there’s not really anything to show for it now. Just a bruise on the temple that just looks like a shadow. Nothing cool. Makeup covers it easily.
So if you’re going to get shot in the head, I recommend doing it like that. Although one of these days, someone at that range is not going to be as nice when they get nailed like that, and they’re going to sue, and it will be deserved. That setup is really stupid. I don’t know if people take their kids there, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Anyway, here’s me and Roxy post-nap today.
