aramis Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Okay, so... I think I won't be exercising for (at least) couple days. On Monday my neck and upper back started to hurt. I thought soreness or something. All the week I tried to stretch/massage it, but to no avail. It even hurts a bit by bit more every day, so I need to focus on sorting this out before I start throwing 40kg kettlebell around again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred.

aramis Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Yesterday I found in my Mom's medicine cabinet some suspiciously looking, big jar. Turns out it's something called "Horse Back Balm". It is natural (arnica, mint, camphor etc), so I tried it and it seems to work better than modern painkiller ointment. 1 Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred.

aramis Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Neck got better. But in the meantime I managed to drop 30kg on my pinkie. Bones are fine, but some soft tissues went 'squish' like would an orange stepped on. Lucky me... Not very painful though, so I guess I will try some exercises by the weekend. Will see what can be done. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk. Challenges' status: Spoiler Not gonna Challenge anymore for now.

aramis Posted March 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Mar. 31st Man, I'm tired today. No sleep at night. Instead, this: Not my roof. I'm a volunteer firefighter in my settlement. We spent good couple hours putting this fire down. We needed to strip part of the roof apart because fire was hiding below the metal roofing sheets. When got back home, it was already 4am. It made no sense going to bed when I wake up at 5:30 to work. But anyway, after work: 2x50 Romanian DL 40kg 6 TGU 40kg 4 TGU 32 kg Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred.

aramis Posted April 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2022 Apr. 26th 2x50 Romanian DL 40kg 10 TGU 40kg Something weird is happening. I eat as much as usual, I do as much (or as little) as usual, yet every day for last week or so when afternoon comes, I'm pumped out. This tiredness is strange - not quite the physical type, like after shoveling metric ton of coal or running an OCR. It isn't mental burnout either (I know that one all too well). I can't quite put my finger on it and it makes all this even worse. Quote I absolutely CAN run on caffeine and hatred. But only with a dash of milk.
