Rev hyper, yea stability ball could be dangerous when I roll off and land on someone…
I will try the hyperextension setup though, may just bring my ankle weights in too. Thanks!!
Today was one of those nutso days at the office. Beware, full moon approaching! Not bad, just a whole lot of frenetic energy. Got to do some innovative k-tape designing, very fun. Intensive trigger point therapy: stress + spring cleaning/gardening = wrecked patients. I didn’t leave the office until about 8:45 pm due to EVIL insurance company pre-cert paperwork 
The other highlights of my day included lunch at the newly-renovated Indian buffet near my office and going back to purchase the 35 lb kettlebell that I priced on Sunday. So in lieu of the gym, I played with my new toy in the garage.
Alternating: KB swings (overhead)/wide pushups (on the concrete garage floor… duh, I should get a mat) 10x10 each
Since I haven’t done KB swings on any regular basis, I fully expect my abs and upper back to be a little sore tomorrow. It was fun, I didn’t even put any music on… just focused on working my form and feeling my body react to the motion. Very nice little session. Feeling great.
woo hoo! congrats on your kettlebell. glad to hear you are having some fun with it 
ohh, I get it now!
I had to look up what a reverse hyper machine was to understand…
The ball idea looks great!
Nice sesh, sounds like a fun, short way to obliterate the upper bod. And some legs from the swings.
Just stopping in to say “Hi”. Nice on the KB swings. 10x10 is a great workout.
It’s amazing how moving just a little bit differently really can leave you beat up. Hope you’re not too sore from the swings.
Although I could “feel” the stuff I did last night, I would not call it DOMS. Since Thur is my day off, I slept in and while I was catching up on the logs this morning when I got a call from my best friend. She is almost four months pregnant and was craving belgian waffles at 10 am, so I got up and met her at the diner. I ended up having coffee and blueberry blintzes with sour cream as my pre-training fuel. (Lol, I did take some real pre-training stuff too.) Happy to report another great session.
Legs/lower:
Warmup: wall squats, spiderman crawls… kinda rushed because I was pressed for time after the diner.
Squats: 1x5xbar, 1x5x115, 1x5x125, 1x5x145, 1x5x165, singles: 175, 175, 195, 195, 195
RDL: 5x5x205
Conditioning SS x 3: Kettlebell high-pull x 20 / DB suitcase DL x 5 each side; I used my 35 lb kettlebell and a 65 lb DB
I did the conditioning with as little rest as possible between supersets because, well, it is conditioning. Plus, I thought it was the least I could do after eating blintzes in the middle of the day for no reason other than pleasure and friendship.
Went for acupuncture which was beyond awesome. I totally love that experience. She treated me face down today. My ass must have looked like it could pick up AM/FM radio when she was done sticking me! Also, she placed a bunch of needles to treat a left lat/sub-scap thing that has been nagging when I do lateral raises. I went into dream land while I was laying there… I never really fall asleep, but I get seriously relaxed, can’t explain it. Left feeling balanced and ready to face the rush hour Jersey traffic!
YUM WAFFLES!!! <3 Next time PICS! nice squats too so jelly! I went to acupuncturist once. As soon as the doc left the room, I started to play with the needles…mainly to try and push them in as deep as possible. I guess I was hoping for something like shiatsupuncture, and was a bit dissappointed the “light touch”…
^^^ I’m liking the new avi Bre!
WARNING: This has nothing to do with my training.
I just finished what I consider to be an amazing act of athleticism; In particular it requires dedication, perseverance, mental fortitude, endurance, and above all FLEXIBILITY!
A brazilian. On myself. Yes. I’m not kidding.
Anyone else wax? Anyone else wax themselves? Just curious.
I can’t remember the last time I was this impressed with any feat. Veggie, just wow on the self-Brazilian.
I’m a fan of the razor myself. I can’t handle the grow-in period required for the wax.

I tried waxing my chest once. I lasted one strip, then said fuck this. Thought I tore my nipple off.
POIDH Veg 
seriously teasing.
I’m with Kimba on this one - a blade in the shower.
face down
waffles
Brazilian
:runs around in circles:
Information overload, LOL!!!
I’ve never been waxed or waxed myself…lucky in that department, haven’t ever had to worry about it.
I just HAD to look up a blintz. Yummy
Never waxed, I like razors.
But it’s on my To-Do Before I Die list
Hell no to the waxing of my lady junk.
Anybody done the Laser removal action? I keep seeing these deals like - bikini $75 first treatment. Wondering how many treatments it takes? I do hate to have a razor rash and I can’t see my armpits anymore. They need to be farther away from my face. Someday I’d like to get the full-body laser. Well, except for my scalp which is starting to need Rogaine.
mmm waffles. been a while since i had waffles. i used to wax. then discovered epilation. too much trouble down there with ingrown hair to make either worthwhile even with exfoliation. not a problem everywhere else, go figure. waxing does take a lot of mental toughness and flexibility. impressed, i am.
Yesterday was my rest day and I did a bunch of dog walking which was very pleasant due to unusually warm weather. Work was fun, I love my job. Went to the diner solo for an omelette and salad bar for dinner. They had banana bread on the salad bar, very delicious, yet unusual item to find there.
Had to work for a while today. No big deal. Bagged my usual session this afternoon in the interest of my bizarre relationship. Nice to see the man, but after he left I needed to expel some energy so I did a bunch of stuff with my KB. OH swings, one-arm swings, clean and press, high pulls. Tried TGU, but it is too heavy for that right now. No idea exactly how many of each I did. Just kept going until I felt like I was done, 30 mins give or take.
Felt good afterwards.
I used to wax my bikini line but it was messy and awkward. Eventually they must’ve changed the formula of the wax I was using because it stopped sticking properly. I switched to an epilator which is a lot easier. Still smarts a bit but you can’t have everything. No way can I shave down there - skin always rashes up (not a problem I have with my legs and underarms, thankfully).
Kettlebells are cool toys. I can’t do TGUs with mine - my smallest bell is 4kg more than the dumbell I currently use for them. I’ll work up to it.
I have to admit that I am having entirely too much fun with the KB.
