40 aint no joke - General fitness thread

So does meth.

Short term, yes, But not over the course of a few weeks as it destroys your sleep pattern and recovery ability.

[GORDON]

Then you need more meth.

[Malcolm]

Test some of the local shit you got and let me know how it is.

[GORDON]

I don't eat soylent so my energy levels and stuff are already correct.

When you hurt yourself canning, I'm going to laugh. In other news, back at the gym today after a week. Couldn't take the sitting doing nothing. Did a 2/3rds workout. Lungs felt sore from coughing up shit the past few days.

[GORDON]

My immune system is already pretty strong because I don't eat soylent.

Next place you scuba dive, I'm going to drop a crate full of these things right after you go under.

[GORDON]

Ha!

1. Good luck penetrating that wetsuit... and

2. I already said I don't piss in my wetsuit.

I've been coughing for 5 weeks. Two doctors asked if I've ever been diagnosed with asthma before. Just developed a sinus infection to boot.

[GORDON]

Sounds like bullshit. Swim laps for a couple weeks and run that chlorine through your sinuses, you'll be fine.

I'm still coughing shit out of my lungs after two weeks. Antibiotic the fuck out of it.

[TheCatt]

I'm on 3rd or 4th day on antibiotics. 3rd day of steroids. and an inhaler.

[Malcolm]

Still working on loosening up the back muscles. Think I crossed another threshold recently because I'm encountering new types of soreness, particularly in the shoulder, hip, and neck regions. Feels like a slowly unfolding granite slab with which Hercules made an origami figure.

[Malcolm]

Parents, your children are too goddamned fat.

In the past 20 years, new cases of Type 2 diabetes in childhood have increased from less than 5 percent to more than 20 percent of all new diagnoses. What is causing this disturbing trend?

Stupid, shitty parents who shouldn't be allowed to breed.

[TheCatt]

Got permission to use both hands for basic things. No lifting whatsoever, and hand mus stay in front of my body. But at leastt I can type with both hands again. It's been a long 11 days with 1-hand typing.

Just 6 more months of PT to go!

[Malcolm]

You've probably logged more cumulatively over the course of your life.

[GORDON]

I've been feeling like I have shin splints except in my lower forearms the last week.

[TheCatt]

How low in the lower forearms?

Man, my arm is sore. but he said no lifting of objects > 1lb, so no jerkin it

[GORDON]

I bumped up all the weights I was lifting within the last few weeks... I am putting some serious strain on my wrists, now. I feel it. I can easily wrist curl a 40 lb DB on my right wrist, but it is very painful if I do 40 on the left, all those small wrist bones hurt. Have to drop down to about 25. I think the "forearm splints" are a result of the heavier weight, and the fact I am 45 years old. I will just have to stay at this level for a while until the rest of the infrastructure catches up.

[Malcolm]

Back on the 2 meals of soylent for the past few days. Cardio output is up and feels like I finally snapped a couple lifting plateaus.
