HIIT eliptical work out until i spit bloody stars and stripes
i wanna get back to sleeping on the floor, was great for my back in my twenties
currently resting in bed with my phone, emulating shit on a modded wii u, hooked to a pentagon electrode array
easy come and go, friends
Thanks Tesseract , really appreciate it brother. I elevate it a lot yesterday. Today I did maybe 6 or 7 cycles of contrast therapy hot+cold. Helped a lot. And the pain is down a lot from yesterday. I think I’ll elevate a lot more today when I am resting (I have found that 10-15 minutes of elevation and then some time to walk around let the injured area be where it’s supposed to be and then repeat again X amount of times feels best) and I’m going to be going to PT later so that might help some toorest, ice, compression, elevation
i've had some trouble with my ankle since i was 16 (three bolts and 13 screws after an accident)
always doing circles with the synovial joint, flexion and extensions to keep things loose
get well soon!
I actually tried that once on my yoga mat. it was a really wakeful night. Was turning around a lot. Otherwise I really like the idea. Maybe I need one of these Japanese mats?
How are you going to do it? Are you using anything at all?
btw. I’m showering cold every day now. - just skipped it once but otherwise I’m really digging it. Cutty Flam tips have helped me a lot - and I’m moving way faster to my upper body. Biggest weak point is when the cold water hits the back of my head and my neck. Then all my breathing messes up and I’m all hectic for a while. Even though I try to calm down and trying to get it back to normal I have a hard time. I have to look up for a video of the wim Hof breathing method to see how it’s done properly.
I kinda now feel that my body needs the cold shower it’s awesome - health benefits I don’t see them right now. I’m showering cold for around 5 minutes. Is that enough?
today is leg day. Gonna do some squats, Nordic curls, straight leg dead lifts, pistol squats, Bulgarian split squats and so on today. Gonna try to work out more the back of my legs today - and my friends gonna hate it - because it sucks
No pain no gain brothers (and sisters)
Truly is. Was just talking yesterday with my bro and out friend about the body being able to withstand 4-5 minutes underwater. Everyone can if they truly had to. All mammals apparently have this one mechanism that kicks in called the diving reflexThanks for your write up dude. I’m gonna change the routine today and hit my head first with the cold water just to shake things up and see how it goes. I never used my hands. Just hitting my legs and so on straight with the shower head. I’m also starting to move it way faster towards the rest of my body. First two or so days I was just doing it going from one body part to another. Now I’m more or less working my way up (hope that doesn’t contradict my previous post). Though I start with the right leg I moveto my balls and stomach to the right one up to my chest, then it hits my left and right arm and then my back and neck. And in the end my head.
when i let the cold water run on my head for - what feels like a - minute or so I kinda feel like my heads going to explode - but not in a bad way or so just like there’s a shitload going on. Same with my feet like they’re tingling - especially the first two-three days.
sadly I don’t have a bathtub not a big refrigerator to try an ice bath. But I’m gonna fill a bucket with ice and ice-bath my feet just to see what it feels like.
With that being said the human body is an amazing vessel, that is capable of so many things be it enduring the cold, skipping meals (for a day and more), sports, “brain shit” and so on. Sad to see people don’t try and figure it out themselves. Maybe some things will help them tremendously but if you never try you never know. I was the biggest bitch in regards to cold showers. Now I’m a #belieber
Howoften people tell me that I’m insane when I’m telling them that I ate nothing today/yesterday (or for more than 24 hours)
more users are welcome to this thread, nobody is gonna judge you
those are some old man life goals, right there
Hmm really?more users are welcome to this thread, nobody is gonna judge you

sorta glad i lost most of my twenties to injuries and shit, whatever doesn't kill you
I wonder what makes someone like that. That winner, never give up attitude
yeah?Hmm really?
After my normal morning warm-up, I worked in the garden all morning and afternoon. Spring/summer crops are either done or finishing up, so I planted a bunch of fall/winter stuff. First I weeded the garden for about two hours, and I was impressed by my own stamina. Even though I was bent over most of the time, my back didn't get sore. Then I shoveled a few dozen wheelbarrows full of compost and spread it on the beds. This was about four hours of work. I planted onions, lettuces, peas, beets, turnips, cucumbers, beans, parsley, cilantro, and some sunflowers.
Anyway, the point of this story is that one of my aims was to improve strength via exercise for the sake of being able to do manual labour more comfortably and for longer hours, and that appears to be paying off.
I've moved up from two-handed swings to one-handed alternating swings with the kettlebell. Getting more consistent form with the cleans. I practiced some snatches (clean + overhead press in one movement) with the lighter 20lb kettlebel last nightl. Just did some w the 35 lb... brutal
Nicely done! Gardening is a great lifestyle / hobby. Attain a healthier body, exercise and work hard to achieve your results, connect to your primal side, learn about plants, engage with dirt and insects, soak up sunshine, etc etcI started a garden, too. It's my first one so I just started with tomatoes, cucumbers, and spinach, but I hacked away at the weeds in the garden for a couple hours and it was a really good and satisfying work out. I do enjoy running and going for walks but this is a different kind of exercise that leaves you feeling accomplished when you're done.

DunDunDunpachiwow this one looks great. Noob Saibot.
today I was working my shoulders and did some core work. Leg raises Russian twists and so on.
Has anybody a good kettlebell routine (total body) for tomorrow?
If you want a pre-built kettlebell routine with x reps and x sets of such-and-such fifteen exercises, I'm afraid I won't be much help. That's just not how I exercise anymore. I'm also still an amateur to the routines.havent used them in a while. Only thing when working with kettlebells are the fucking swings.
Need a good workout to have a nice sweat.
to be able to last hours during a tournament with little rest in-between. And trust me, I use all of that arm-wrestling.endurance, speed, stamina, strength, flexibility, agility, reflexes, dexterity, resilience, reaction time, et alia
You are a great inspiration of mine Tess. JSYK. Your dedication to this thread and the determination and warrior spirit you show in your posts is something I respect immensely.
You're welcome. Like I said, I'm still an amateur but I've devoured/distilled a fair amount of content on the subject. So those four are where I am currently landing.Thank you for the write up. Have to look up what American swings are. As it sounds they are basically like normal swings that you swing above your head. Gonna watch a video or two to perform the exercise properly. Same with Turkish get ups. Last time I did them was around Christmas last year.
Gonna be fun. Especially finding the proper weight for the exercises lol. If I remember correctly I did the Turkish get ups with 12kg? And I had more problems with holding the kettlebell up with my left hand - my left side is generally weaker than my right side.
I’ll watch the videos when I’m home
You're welcome. Like I said, I'm still an amateur but I've devoured/distilled a fair amount of content on the subject. So those four are where I am currently landing.
Aim for volume / sets and not high weight. If you need a bit of extra weight, then extend the range of motion for the exercise (easy example: extending your normal swings to American swings).
Yes, quite a few, but I want to also echo the advice that I keep seeing in kettlebell material: focus on a few core, full-body exercise and don't leap right into the fancy / weird stuff. Here are some vids where I picked up more moves. Hopefully you'll see some fun ones (look for fun ones! Those are the ones you'll do more frequently)thank you. Do you have any other sourcefor kettlebell exercises?
Kbs are good for cardio, too.Watched the whole video you posted and the tips he’s giving are not only good for kettlebell Workouts but for a lot of exercises in general. Especially Beginners should watch it to improve their form and give attention to certain elements while exercising. (Where you shoulders have to be located while exercising etc)
Think I’m gonna start with the two minutes as you said and let’s see where it goes. Additionally I’ll include halos around the head but dunno how good they will go as I fucked up my right shoulder so I have to be careful
