Poor little guy, hopefully his fever breaks and he gets to feeling better pretty quickly. That’s still the worst part of the flu, is when you get a high fever and just feel beat up. Hopefully he’ll be able to drink and stay hydrated. And you’re right, worrying doesn’t change a thing, and working out gives you that boost and stress release.
I'm definitely not up on training equipment, but looking at stuff at the Arnold like the SBD table, the stiffness of some of those knee/elbow sleeves is kinda crazy to me. Some felt so thick I couldn't imagine it having any give!
Hope you and the boy start to feel better soon. Definitely stuff circulating right now. My son is also dealing with something - he's got a non-stop cough that woke him up last night. Glad you got a WO in though. I debated doing mine this AM, but also decided to stick with it.
it always cracks me up whenever the discussion comes up and I think about how long these things last
having had 2 or 3 pairs I highly recommend (as you're already doing) Rehbands (obviously) and the 7mm. I honestly think 5mm are a waste of money, personally. they don't last as long. the 7mms stay where they are supposed to be. I usually take mine off when my session is complete but have been known to leave them on even during cardio and a few times after a session really smoked me I even drove home in them and took them off at home.
hopefully little dude recovers fast!
It made a huge difference for me, mentally. You have to focus under the weight; there’s no room for anything else to occupy space in your head in those moments.
Those sleeves by all reports seem good for 20lbs or so for most. Maybe more. I’ll probably get some at some point for a comp, but it’s hard to pull the trigger!
I always wanted to be a dad when I was little. Then later in my early 20s I really wasn’t sure I wanted kids at all - I was beginning to understand how much they changed things for people. But by the time my wife decided she really wanted another, to do it all over again, I had come back around. I was old enough to realize the entire reason children are so rewarding & valuable, is because of the effort they take to raise well.
Thanks! I’ll give it a look
The Petri dish is ripe this time of year. Our kid had a few quick 24 hr bugs but nothing stuck. Hopefully the same for yours.
He, in fact, did not have to use his AK
I had to do a sleep study a few years back, but that Doctor brought me into their facility where they had bedrooms and everything setup really well, but the same thing happened to me…. I could not get to sleep. I figured it was the added pressure of trying to get in enough sleep for the test and I stayed up all night. So when they rescheduled, I only slept a couple of hours the night before and then at the study, the next night, I slept like a baby.
Love me some edibles, but there are plenty of studies showing cannabis inhibits REM. I like them for training some days lol
Dude a nibble off a 10mg knocks me on my ass lol.
I haven’t eaten any since the fall. Makes me too damn hungry. Lol.
Watched a video of Dorian Yates saying he uses a sativa concentrate b4 he goes cycling. Says he gets into a zone and focused etc. He was VERY convincing in his argument. I drank 2 dark roast coffees, took 3-5 rips off my sativa cartridge, and hopped on the treadmill. I did not have a “Yates” like experience. It was the longest, most grueling 30 min I had ever done.
I love sativa on my Harley but that’s a diff bike ride
Yates and Panora both are fans of the THC for reps method. It works well for me on rep days, I would never do it for real heavy days though.
I’ll bet if you went for a bike ride it would be better than that torture device.
Very glad I preemptively sacrificed the training time in the morning to help log more time. Got my results back already, and they were successfully able to diagnose me with Moderate Obsructive Sleep Apnea.
18 times a hour and they say that is moderate ? Man I bet that is going to change your life for the better big time! Glad you got it done and price wise doesn’t seem to crazy in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah and this was on my stomach, on a cruise with smaller neck & shoulders & face - as good as my score could possibly get at this bodyfat. If I fall asleep on my back I snore like a grizzly.
Sounds like she had some fun and got an invite for the Nationals. I bet a lot of them think you compete in Strongman contests when you go with your wife. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the coaches would try to talk you into it…..trying to convince you to come on over to the wild side.Went to in-laws Friday night to stay the night with my sons. The wife & I left before dawn Saturday to finish the drive to Lafayette, IN so she could do a local strongman show to earn an invite to USS Nationals as an amateur middleweight. She knows a lot of people going to that, and the events are pretty core strongman things overall she’d like to get back to training.
There was nobody else in her class so it was a shoe-in victory, but it made for a great fun training day and we focused on getting good work in. She pulled a single at 295 double-overhand without straps, ran a fast light yoke/farmers walk medley, did a 3-log press ladder knocking out 10 reps on the last 120lb log, carried a 175 sandbag for 200ft, and loaded a 120lb stone over bar back and forth for over TEN MINUTES. I capped her at 10 minutes of playing around. The stones were far too light for the women for a last-man-standing stoneoff.
Every single show we go to, multiple people will be surprised I’m not weighing in or when they realize I’m not lifting. So if that ever stops happening, I will know I need to quit lifting or try harder
They always do, especially when they learn you have experience already. I helped a few guys yesterday, some very new and another very experienced. He showed me a cool trick as well, these Vicks inhaler sticks you shove up your nose in place of ammonia to help hype up. Ammonia is definitely superior, but it really aggravates sinuses - these are kind of a free pass & still help open you up.Sounds like she had some fun and got an invite for the Nationals.

amen to that, a spirit of gratitude is a great pillar in life.
was it a familiar injury that you think have had to rebuild before or something new? if anyone can asses, rebuild and get through it, it's you.
Right?! Or at least to feel like I “was asking for it” on some level. A red and a green plate on the power bar is technically 199.x lbs - not even actually 200! I just moved a little funny to help protect my knee and POWAh man, sorry to hear that! And yeah, I feel you on it happening on a (relatively) lighter load. You always at least want it to be a good story
sometimes it's just life, right? I had a buddy busting his butt back in the xfit days. he was never a competitive beast, but he definitely built himself into a bigger beast than he was. maybe a 315lb deadlift for instance. months of hard work and personal improvement. tweaked his back pulling a 5lb rock out of the garden and laid him up for a long time.
Yeah I have, I have herniated my back multiple times over the years. Initially from deadlifting with a poor brace many years ago, moving through flexion during the lift. But also had some aggravations later on occasionally with frontsquats.
Some of those TVs were no joke back in the day, though:
for sure. buddy of mine from our old pre AM forum was a beast of a lifter and popped a hernia through his lower ab after tying his shoes on the ground when he went to stand up and cough/sneezed at the same time. (he pushed it back and and doc said don't worry about it until it does it again, lol) Hope yours recovers quick!!
Damn, that sucks Hyde. I hope you heal up quick... Its so odd, that I went 40+ years of training with no real injury (of course the shoulders always been a bit f***ked) but otherwise have always been fine.
Just a bit. Sunday night I absolutely could not sleep on my mattress in any position & had to sleep on the floor, which I’ve never had to do for a back injury. Moving anywhere was brutal.
I have always been pretty injury-prone. When I say I have a list, I mean I have a LIST of nicks & dings I’ve experienced over the last decade to navigate. Fortunately though, I’ve only needed a couple elbow surgeries; everything else has been resolvable with time and/or rehab. There’s nothing you can do about it, except try to get back on the path.
I'm pumped to watch your rehab because I know you can and I know you know how to listen to your body. you know when to push it and you know when to cool it. You can't say that about a lot of people who will either go too hard or too soft.
Sounds like he knows his stuff….I’ve always appreciated a good chiropractor, that knows what they’re doing. They really are a lifesaver on many occasions.
Great news!
Glad he was able to get after it and k ow what he is doing, sounds like you are on the recovery path!
