Seriously impressed with the RDL’s. Ah… when I read these logs I can’t wait to get gym access again. And nice picture. You don’t have to be so modest.[/quote]
Thank you, Alisa. I’m more impressed with your log. PRs left, right and center…
I wish I had the guts to do half of what you guys do.

Nice work on the pushups! Do you do em regular, feet elevated, any of that special stuff?[/quote]
I do em regular, switch from wide, to regular to diamond pushups. Too lazy to do decline.
I have my work cut out for me if I decide to train Muay Thai over the winter…
Nice. I used to do Muay Thai and it was good (masochistic) fun, but had to quit eventually because of my bum ankle. Tip: do your ankle prehab, because having unstable ankles won’t cut it as you spend a lot of time on the balls of your feet.

I’ve actually been doing it on and off for the past 2 almost 3 years. This year, I’ve been concentrating on weight training more. I haven’t had any ankle trouble. My shins tend to take longer to adjust especially after a long hiatus from kicking pads and heavy bag work. I do, however look forward to pseudo-beating the shit out of people :-H

I miss that, too. I’ve had to stay away in order to gain some strength and lean mass…
Hopefully this time around, I’ll be able to maintain or at least keep some of it.
