Yoga Sat morning felt really good. Oh stretching, I love you.

If you’re sprinting, you can pump your arms but for longer distances, relaxed is best.[/quote]
Did this this morning!
Monday AM: More stretching and rolling. My calves are super sore, not sure why. Then I ran a bit, just a bit. Half a mile, but it felt good.

seems like I want to add a ‘x2’ to most of Cal’s posts.
this one, in particular!
It’s a crappy video, but you can see my hamstrings and that’s what’s supposed to be working. Is this what a Romanian DL is supposed to look like?
hike looked awesome despite the hitch
Happy New Year Peaches 
Oh yeah gorl! Thems Romanians! My only recommend is pull from a platform if there is one.
Also, next time camera directly BEHIND the bootay.
Also, next time less pants.
Kthanx!
Monday PM.
First CW day :
4 Cycle Circuit
Reverse Hyper x12 - I actually kinda like this one, it’s like playing.
Band Pull down x 12- harder than you’d expect a rubber band to be
Single leg bridge x 12 ea side - my left side takes some time to get it, so I did it first. I also didnt do my circuit in the weight room so used a stepper instead of a bench. It was still a challenge. My ass is going to be awesome.
DB MP 12lb x 12- next time need to go heavier
R Crunch - I have to read the description on this one again. As is, did not like.
Then I worked on the Romanians, I think I got it. It felt much more like I thought it was supposed to. Vid above.
Tues AM: Spin! Vroom vroom.

RDL looked good. You can stand on a couple of 25 lb plates to remedy a lack of a platform.
YEPPP RDL’s looked dandy to me! I always worried about those when I first started doing them that my form was off. Even now I gotta keep reminding myself to try and not bend my knee’s so much. I find focusing on keeping my core super tight really helps too.
That actually helps me in all my lifts…

I don’t understand how that would help.
Advices? Guy at school asked me out and I was busy for the weekend so I said no and that was an easy out. Now he’s emailed and asked again. What’s the best way to say I don’t want to go out with him, and I don’t really want to be his email buddy either? Just ignore? It feels a bit childish, and I’ll see him in person occasionally. Tell me what to do, k ths bai.

Yeah, I made this same discover a while ago when I was having trouble with balance in yoga. It makes all the difference in dancer pose.
“Thanks but I’m not interested. Have a great day. Bye” If you want to soften it, “I’m not interested at this time”, but then you run the risk of him asking again. You’re not obligated to be anything but polite.
Can’t see the vid at work, but less pants has got to be good!

This is definitely the best way to approach it. Guys are pretty simple and if you’re not interested just say it.
RDls looked good from the small window we could see. Not sure why you would need to stand on a platform or plates though. If you’re able to touch the floor then really, really, really push your butt back and you’ll fix that. Most people I see doing these don’t actively push back and it turns into more of a “bend at the waist” than a hinge type movement.
This is one of my favorite vids:

Yeah its akward
“thanks but I’m not interested” really is the only option.
You will quickly find out if he is a regular person or a nutjob.
regular people are like “oh, ok”
I don’t know why I’ve fallen into lurker mode in your log. RDLs look good to me. Yeah for running!

You can get the bar lower, increasing the hamstring stretch. More ROM.
Your pic for the day

I 2nd the ‘just get it over with’ and let him know you are not interested.
I actually just came across that video over the weekend, interesting what he says about the female body.
He has a ‘funny’ one though on the snatch, I’ll have to revisit that one cuz something didn’t make sense.
