I bet your legs were tired–that’s a good long ride.
I’m going to be living vicariously through your BBB exploits. I know how fatiguing that volume is and how good it feels to get through the workouts. WTG with the MPs.
love the soundtrack to that video, lol…
I think thats called ‘butt wink.’ sounds silly I know…how to fix it? hmmm, more lower back training? bottom up squats?
can you feel when you start to lose the arch? if so - then just go as low as there and squeeze things tightly to reinforce that held arch position. should work its way down lower over time. i’m still working on mine, too. breaking from the knees is acceptable in Oly lifting - but i know powerlifting is about breaking from the hips.
rofl about the good girl machine and crushing ribs. all of a sudden the good girl machine has a lot more respect from me, hah!
Milies are looking good Kimba. I don’t think that loss of arch at the bottom is as bad as you think.
The OH squat vid is priceless. Music is perfect. Bear is right. Break from the hips. I know that I probably sound like a nutcase, but I’ve found the wall squats to help with that too. Maybe I just like wall squats a little too much, dunno.
Good for you for actually doing your PT exercises. We prescribe exercises and see patients who are doing concurrent PT. The home-care exercise compliance is dismal. Got to do the homework to get to the fun stuff. That was my mom’s rule anyway.
Burning quads FTW! Can’t wait to get back to leg accessory work in a few weeks. I love bulgarian split squats. Do some extras for me, ok?
Here’s my 2cents on your OHS. Your rump is looking spectacular. Hope that helps.
Looks like the BBB is paying off for you w/the military. Nice work on your money set & the BBB.
BTW- Kick that bag like you own it.
Nikki, just thinking about you good-girling the stack makes me all hot and bothered. I’ll give looking up on OH squats a try. Why not?
CBear, I can push my hips back. Yes I can, like I mean it.
Nadia, the volume is fatiguing but I only do BBB on upper body, not lower. That makes it do-able for me on a 2 day per week schedule.
Betty, that was a GREAT video! Thank you for helping me with my butt wink. I’m guessing I might have a flexibility issue, considering how piss-poor my wall squat is.
alexus, yes I can feel when I lose my arch so at that point I can rise up again. I’ll play with this. This light 28 lb. bar is making it possible for me to train OH squats for the first time and I’m excited abut them!
Joe, I am quite happy that both millies and bench are making some progress. Its really true that you can’t make progress on all your lifts at once, and this is the first time EVER I’ve prioritized the upper body lifts.
Veggie, I was super-compliant with my PT exercises for many, many months…probably close to year. But it is so tiresome to do them FOREVER. I do hate BSSs with a burning passion, mainly because my balance sucks. It was pretty darn funny to see me hanging onto the heavy bag in order to make simple BW BSSs happen!
Print, indeed that helps. And, your BBB suggestion was a really good one and has been working out super for me. Thanks again!
Today I sat in a seminar all of this lovely day. Which actually was made very enjoyable because a handsome and entertaining colleague sat next to me all day, and there is nothing Kimba loves more than to flirt. 
I did, however, race home and change and head out to do C25K, Week 1, Workout 2. My knee (so far) has let me have a lovely 20 min. walk/run without being too much of a little bitch. I’m taking what I can get on this one.
Ahh yes, nothing like a handsome and entertaining colleague. He’s probably writing the same thing about you in his log
Lol @ cbear “push hips back like you mean it” - i’ll have to remember that one.
I didn’t see much buttwink in your OHS, tbh - in fact, they actually looked pretty good! At any rate, OHSs are great for mobility, so keep at em’ - the carryover to your other lifting will pay in dividends i’m sure. And yes, the soundtrack was AWESOME! and your ass is indeed mesmerizing. Plus that color of your top is just lovely. I really liked this vid…
Solid training as always Kimba! And hooray for running with minimal pain!!
btw, maybe your knee is kinda like my shoulder. Altho i’m working it (gently) and its a bit achey sometimes, I can feel it getting stronger and getting better…
Now I’m jealous of your tandem. Perfect day. We have some great bike trails here, but my hubbie doesn’t want to go unless he’s off the road and going down some crazy hills. 
I swear he sees a rattlesnake nearly every time he goes out. I’d rather be seeing a cheeseburger on my trips!
Nice OH squat practice. I see a triceps dent and some nice shoulders. Sweet. I’ve been working on them too.
About running, too much too soon will get ya. Patience. The only time I’ve injured myself was when I drastically increase my distance, like going from running 5 miles to say 9. The endorphins can really trick you, because it tends to feel fantastic at the time. Then later, not so good.
Maschy, I think we are trying to trick our knee/shoulder into behaving by sneaking up on them when they aren’t looking. Directly forcing these recalcitrant body parts to bend to our wills clearly hasn’t worked.
BTW, I had forgotten I’d audio-swapped that video to save you’all’s ears from some inane brotard gym conversation. I had no idea there were so many Verdi fans on this board.
PP, if your hubby isn’t into cafe-bike-riding, that is too sad. It took many years for my guy to come around to seeing a bike ride as an opportunity for something more than exercise. Perhaps yours will too. Indeed, I’m aware that too much, too soon is a running problem. What took me so long/is taking me so long to wrap my head around is exactly HOW FREAKING SLOW I need to go on this one.
Today is a rest day. Just sitting on my ass. Oh, and its boob-squish day a/k/a mammo-time.
Glad the knee is holding up. And do something nice for yourself after the mammo–I think that’s a rule.
Sorry to hear its the bad kind of boob squishing day. I think an icold adult beverage or two will be in order.

Thankfully, there is no penis equivalent to this medical procedure.

Or testicle! Although a DRE could be compared…

we’re men, if there was we’d just not do it.
Hmm I don’t think we get called up for boob squishing until we hit 50 in the UK. I could be wrong but I’ve not had anything, anyway.
@git… no, but men get the old prostate exam instead. Fair’s fair.
I liked your use of the Anvil Chorus. The squats were nice and low, butt wink notwithstanding. (Nice butt, in any case).
MiM - that squat vid you posted is excellent.

I am fundamentally opposed (pun intended) to having to pay some guy to stick his finger up my rectum so he tell me whether or not I have a condition for which the treatment has been proved to be ineffective and reduces your quality of life. I’ll just die not knowing, thanks.

Cal, I am aware. So very, very aware of this fact.
I have survived the bad kind of boob-squishing for another year. Cal, we start at age 40 over here.
All this talk of penises and testicles in here! Excellent.

You probably amuse me the most on PW Kim. Haha
That and your log is always hopping with some kind of penis or sexy time talk.
You say boob-squish, and guys chime in with fingers in the rectum.
