I know that the challenge isn't over just yet but I have gotten what I wanted these past six weeks. My low back no longer hurts, occasionally still getting some stiffness, but not hurting just walking around anymore. I have rebuilt some strength and have gained a surprising amount of muscle on my upper back from just doing a handful of Pullups several times a week. I am continuing with the kettlebells and the big 3 exercises that I have been doing but splitting Getups and Swings to separate days and adding a squat and Press day once or twice a week. So really more of the same with a bit more variety. Plan to keep this setup through the next challenge as well.

Covid update My son hasn't had any fever in several days and seems to be feeling much better. Still has a nasty cough but otherwise seems to be recovered and his quarantine ends after this weekend. Thankfully it seems like it was a mild case. No one else in the house ever developed any symptoms and we tested negative. Might be premature but it has been a full week since he started showing symptoms so I think we are in the clear. Vaccines work everyone.

Try Scapula holds and Pulls. I had the same problem and they really helped me with Pullups and the starting position. Dead Hang from the pullup bar and pull your shoulder blades down and back lifting your body up about a inch and hold it nice and tight. Start with static holds until you can hold for 30s. Once you can do that start doing sets of dead hang to pulled and locked position. I saw these on a pullup progression video and sounded weird but really worked.

It has a deadlift station! How awesome

Training Shin Box with hip extensions 4x4 Pushups 3x10 KB Swings 24kg 1x10 KB Swings 16kg Sphinx Pose 2 min The heavier bell was definitely harder to swing and then almost fell over from how light it was when I switched to the 16kg to try and get some volume sets. Low back is tight but no pain right now. We will watch it, was wondering if the heavier bell would anger it. Covid No change for our little patient. Developed a cough and still running a fever but doesn't seem as high but hard to tell since we have him loaded up on motrin. Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

After the first full week of school my son now has covid. So far he only has congestion and fever. I'm hoping that is all that develops. He is 9 and the rest of the household is vaccinated and so far not showing any symptoms. Again I'm hoping none develop.

My kettlebell got a new friend!

Training 5 singles Pullups 10 Getups 16 kg 1 Chinup Feeling weak this morning. Going to bump up my calories for the next two days and try to get to bed early tonight.

So for my birthday I splurged and ordered myself a not cheap 24 KG kettlebell. I ordered it on the 14th and I check it every day but it still says waiting for fulfillment. Ughhhh Says that it can take 10-14 days to ship. Ugghhhh I get everything is backed up now but I wanna wanna wanna!

DOING A HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU! Whoa, that sounds like a great gym. Also sounds ideal, can choose non peak hours which is not ideal schedule wise but can workout in peace without a crowd. "Don't worry about the weight, it will come back. You are way better off than a beginner. You know what you are doing and have way better form. Rock it sister. May the deadlift be with you. " - h3r0 I told you your time was coming soon lol Again, I am very excited for you!

No worries. I didn't take it as a accusation. Most people I encounter have no idea how diabetes works and stare at me blankly if I politely decline a food item at a gathering "even if it is fat free". This includes family members. So I typically over explain the disease to everyone out of habit.

Sorry to hear about the emergency. I hope everyone is doing well.

I am very responsible (at least try to be) but I still get hypos. Unfortunately it comes with the territory. A bit more exercise than you intended, miscalculated carb load of a meal, or accidentally overlapping a previous correction. All you can do is catch it early and keep incidents to a minimum. I'm not sold on the theory that you can hit ketosis in 16 hours with IF. Maybe it does but your liver holds a lot of glucose and previous experience with Atkins back in the 90s showed it took 2-3 days. I don't know. My blood sugar has been stable in the mornings, with no lows which is something I would have to watch for, but I haven't really seen any big advantages other than calorie restriction from missing a meal. That being said I almost always eat a low or no carb small breakfast and have for years so maybe I was already getting the benefits without realizing it. I sure hope so. Historically the Spanish Flu pandemic lasted 3 years so by that measure we are halfway through. But the Black Death was 7 years and kept popping back up over the next 500 years periodically. Not sure what model we are following but I would expect our modern medical advances to squeeze that into a smaller window but we seem hell bent on dragging it out further as well as the speed we are seeing variants develop.

How's the challenge going?

This is a fantastic strategy and one I have found that I have to follow too. Maybe it's because I am over 40, or my diabetes, or maybe because I am a big ball of stress and anxiety who never sleeps but my recovery sucks. I have found any as written workout plan has to be cut in half or else I burn out in a week or two. Your plan of couplets, four times a week sounds absolutely perfect. Happy lifting and all hail to the barbell!

And how do you feel?

Training 8 Getups 16 kg 6 singles Pullups 6x10 Swings 16 kg Sphinx Pose 2 min Good workout. Jumped on the scales this morning and I am down 4 lbs to 191 lbs. The last time I weighed myself was 4-6 weeks ago. I think it is just body fat and hoping it is not muscle. I have not actively been trying to lose weight but I have been testing out IF for the last few weeks. Will make a effort to bump up protein intake on the off chance that I am losing muscle mass.

A black library card? That is cool. Like a library VIP card. Gets you into the private back room where they keep the Necronomicon, Unaussprechliche Kulte, and the Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows.

Your day is coming too

I'm so happy for you that you will now have barbell access! It's going to be awesome. Don't worry about the weight, it will come back. You are way better off than a beginner. You know what you are doing and have way better form. Rock it sister. May the deadlift be with you.
