=just a movement and bw stuff day

had to ice my foot and knee this morning
thats pretty typical
I have two big wraps with velcro that I wrap my knee with
something is going on not good with my
post lateral corner- go figure the big ice packs
let me ice the front ( where the ACL the graft and the quad tendon are)
and the back where my hamstrings PCL calf etc all got detached.
that was depressing to type

ice
esspresso two
PVC pipe
LX ball on feet proneals, ( cant spell) lats
the frozen LX ball on my foot- and calves

a shit ton of dislocates and BPAā€™s at home
gym
lunges progressions
cock sack squats
banded walks lunges
lots of hamstring work with bands PNF stuff

some yoga flow crap
A TRX 5x10
face pulls x inverted row x push up x inverted pike ab x hamstring curl
B1 cable face pulls 5x20
B2 loaded pushup bw-45 5x10
C1 ab circuit hollow rocks x v-up x mcgill sit up 5x10-15

more shit for shoulders glutes knee etc
notes
looking back - I thought I was doing enough activation prehab
mobility shit
but I realized I did much more in mornings and evenings,
as well as the few times a week or month that I rolled and did judo or BJJ that if I did roll - I did a few more hours a week of that stuff.
hmmm this getting old and feeble thing is bullshit.

222

Catching up. I see all the icing, did you get hurt, again. What does that old and feeble shit feel like?

223

Hey Harry-
pretty sure I tore my right bicep in early summer and its healing slowly

all that ice is that pipe cleaner leg
4 years later and its well its you know there.

as for old and feeble- I just need to rub dirt on it.

notes
trap bar weighs 60 I just listed the plates
these felt pretty good- more volume needed
trap bar BO row- these are weird - but ok
tried to use the trap bar with BSS- its awkward getting the rear foot
elevated - but I Think I can do it and load them up heavy
bike tabata- no on like these
uhm banded bike ride- huge pump

225

How old are you now? Thereā€™s a lot of warm up, mobility etc in here. Not that thereā€™s anything wrong with that Iā€™m wondering if I should be doing that.

226

I donā€™t have much luck with BSS and the trap bar either. Very awkward.

227

Im 46.
physical job takes a toll
really the mobility stuff is a must and doesnā€™t take that long

228

yeah makes sense from a loading perspective-but awkward indeed
need to look at some videos of it again

Iā€™m sure it does. Iā€™ve never had a physical job but have seen the stress Frankā€™s previous job put on his body.

230

Job? Work? Kinda rings a bell.

231

Yes work takes a toll.
For years- I worked in broadcast - and television
and loved it- got to do some good work and traveled allot.

summer 2017 - I had an even bigger opportunity and took that.
Im a ā€˜headā€™ a supervisor at one venue - its an arena in brooklyn.
you can do the math. Been in a labor union since 99- and it paid off.

Yes Im a ā€˜bossā€™ but im very hands on - and the physical work to put on a
concert is high.
Id have it no other way
but it takes itā€™s toll

You have worked enough for many lives.
glory in your retirement- you have earned it.

spend that time in the sun surrounded by family.

work is work and it can suck
but I am proud that I have a work ethic
and a drive

4 sets of adductor abductor
DOMS are there-

During PT ( leg rehab)
we did these every session - I think I might need to do these
and much much more direct hamstring work
build up all those little leg muscles for support

Youā€™re right about the shit weather. We just got 2 feet of snow and have another storm coming next week. Weā€™ll get back outside someday.

Crushed with work? I seem to remember this work thing vaguely. Nice trap bar DLs at 365. What are you weighing now?
