I know, but it's a proud tradition here at BRS.Lee, we majorly hijack hula's tread.
Sorry Hula
So good to hear your knee is better. Yeah sometimes we do need those little hurts to remind us that we aren't inmortal.I know, but it's a proud tradition here at BRS.
Right knee is much better today, btw. It's much looser today, and I even ran a few blocks on it, but the knee cap feels a little sore. Should be good to go for a short run tomorrow, and some light squats/deadlifts next week. It was good to have this little scare. I respect the deadlift a lot more now. I'll notch down intensity and up volume a bit to adjust. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
Sorry to hear your back still bothers you. I had thought you had found a way to make it manageable. You seem to be running a lot these days. Is something like a back squat possible for you with your back condition? I would think it would strengthen it if it's possible to do them without pain or risk of collapsing your back.
Hula makes the excellent point that lifting isn't just for meatheads. Basic strength and (normal) mobility are the foundation for fitness. Once you have those, anything can be added on later. For me, lifting and running are the meat and potatoes, or vegetables and fruits of fitness. I get kind of frustrated sometimes that lifting is so strongly associated with bodybuilding. Especially in the artist-n-intellectual circles. Strong misconceptions, like barefooting.
Your "intellectual" acquaintances appear deficient. Educate them!Especially in the artist-n-intellectual circles.
Well, a lot of people are physically active, but defying gravity with iron plates still has a strong association with steriod-abusing, fake tan, zero-bodyfat buffoons.Your "intellectual" acquaintances appear deficient. Educate them!
