reset. go again. you're good BearMan.

I feel you on the sick mini-red marten. and ear aches are the worst!!! Nothing you can do while they claw at their ears.... except wait for the antibiotics to kick in. You're on your way to being a Royal Road or Amazon Kindle Unlimited author!

Good to see the squats moving up by the 10lbs each tracked session. i feel you on the tightness!!!! all those tissues just bake together like lasagne. In my more mature years (hah) i'm now either spending half my time warming up, or just doing squats and coming back into the garage at a later time to do the rest. Have you got a plan for the LP? or just pushing it till it stops feeling good. You're building that momentum. all i can say is

Nice work Yunn, i'm assuming BSL stands for British Sign Language? ...and sorry for your lack of cheese

KW. You're the definition of consistent. Sgood. Confession, never read a Spenser novel or watched a telefilm... Spenser sounds like how Batman wants to be when he hangs up the cowl.

It's been minimum 20 years since i painted 40k, really cool to see you exploring that model. I can remember i primed certain models grey or black to give the darker/meaner/evil undertones. I've queued up a couple of the Bioneer's videos, on ambidexterity and muscle plasticity. Always curious to get more knowledge from a different perspective. Also, as an Aussie, we don't do chilli here... is it just mince meat with beans etc? ... edit: 4 videos in. batman 2021 functional training, your infinite potential, how to increase your energy levels. guy embodies nerd fitness

winoscopic slouch hat trumps goon bag.... i can't wear mine, only use it as a pillow

Haha, progress, establishing that serious real world strength base just takes time that the young pups haven't had. There's a guy i sometimes listen to called Pat McNamara, he's all about training real world strength. You might like his stuff. He's hairy, might make your cut to be beary enough.

I remembered the forums and thought i'd have a skeeze to see what Nerds are up to. still the same wholesome goodness. Hey Harriet, i'm late to the party, but to put my 2c in. I've used an easy website creator/hosting service called tilda.cc to knock up websites really easily and for a low cost (0 cost if you don't need all of the features, it's only AU$10 per month for the upgrade). If you don't have a domain, they give you a free tilda one... To build a site you just plug and play different 'blocks' in per page, copy your text in and insert your photos. The site is responsive (quick) and the skins look really good, nice and clean. -- also. For now i'll take a coffee, no milk no sugar. thanks

Hey Max.... i mean Red The wholesale changes family bring... you don't fully comprehend, until it happens right. good to see you're in shape and moving. I'd never heard of NaNoWriMo before... still not really sure what it is, but if it's got you writing, thats sweet. I do miss my farmers walks as accessories for my strength training, thanks for the reminder I'll be doing some today up and down the driveway.

Hey Grizz, Sounds like you've got your why! If i've learnt anything, that's what keeps you centred and moving in the right direction when people or situations do their distracting thing. You've got your action plan, and it sounds scalable from where you are now I'm a bit like you, just randomly thought of the forums today after a Steve tweet, 20 minutes of lurking later... reminiscence with a blast from the past reading my old battle log. forever recovering from back tweaks.

Ah man. both those pieces look really slick. I'm impressed again. and coloured green. Extreme ownership was a book i wanted to read after hearing the AoM podcast with the author. Are there any gold nuggets worth buying the book for?

To expand on Grymm's description. Starting strength and the Stronglifts 5x5 progressions are good intro programs. You could call them simple 'full body sessions' with the barbell. Starting out pretty light and then adding a small increment of weight per successful session. Stronglifts A: Squat, Bench, Row Stronglifts B: Squat Overhead Press, Dead lift And yes, please tell us what you're aiming for, you both look like you've done awesome over the last year keep up the good work!

Here she is from monday Note the teddies on my plyo box and the 3kg weights she's dead lifting "too heavy!"

Just to clarify, she holds one of the .5kg weights to squat or dl or ohp or plays with the PVC pipe She's only 2 so not quite there with the barbell yet. She loves putting extra random weights on the bar for me. So i might go to lift and it'll be of by between 0.5-2.5kg on one side because thats where she feels the weights need to be.
