Root's mediocre return to lifting
I turn 40 this year, and my plan was to do a meet and beat all my previous PRs as a "master" lifter. Maybe even get on a podium or something, since I'm no longer competing with 20-somethings. So I decided to take a few weeks off in January to heal the accumulated bumps, bruises, and fatigue, and then start my meteoric rise to super-duper strong 40 year old Root.
And then I went and took two and a half months off like a dumbass.
Here we go again...

3/29/2020 - Cardio
Weighed 237 this morning. That's light for me, probably just due to lost muscle.
20 Jump rope -> 2 chins -> 4 burpee
10 rounds of that, EMOM, 30 min total

Re: Root's mediocre return to lifting
And you have a new log, I see. I mostly only follow threads on my notification list and check occasional threads I see in New Posts so I missed yours for a while.
I assume you're as handsome and meat savvy as ever?

Not sure if serious.Allentown wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 9:17 amThere's a notification list?
You probably comment in too many threads for it to be useful. Any thread I comment in is automatically added to my subscriptions. When I open Exodus, I just click my notifications to see new posts in those threads. I have to manually unsubscribe from threads I comment in and don't want notifications.
The only email notifications I get are when someone quotes me. I do this so I can keep up with conversations in real time-ish.

Totally serious- I know about the notifications when someone quotes or mentions me, but that's it...

The ab wheel is evil. Such punishment from such a small cheap tool.
Mine is buried in the cupboard. Where it may well stay for a long time....
