Workout: What did you do today?

[Shhon]

went for a run this morning lol

[jimmy jazz]

Squats today. 120kg x 12 x 5 then some BSS and extensions to finish.

When I did bench yesterday, I had lost a bit of strength. I did 120kg x 2 but didn't bother going for the second set as it didn't feel right and I knew I wouldn't be able to do it even though I have done it before. I did 30kg dumbbell flies x 6 x 3 though which is the heaviest I've gone.

Could be lack of sleep, or the heat or hydration I don't know. But I haven't had a deload in a long time so I will schedule one next week when I've finished this week's stuff.

my best week all year as for movement....

I've always run with Asics. I always heard from close mates that Asics were the best shoe in terms of overall balance, especially if one is slightly overweight, and that suited me fine. So I went with that brand.

Irrc, Brooks are good too. But that's a bummer that they don't make your perfect shoe anymore. I know the frigging feeling.

I used to be up to speed on the different Asics shoes, but I don't remember them anymore! But they defo have a neutral gait shoe and I'll try to find out what the name is.

Thank you!

I'm definitely going to go to a shop for a a gait analysis. I should be able to try on some different brands too and I can hopefully get back to it soon.

I am kind of missing it but not tons to be honest, it's hot and ridiculously humid just now. I think I'm more of a winter runner lol.

I had a look on the Asics site and the choice of shoes is a lot more than it used to be. Thick-soled foamy shoes mixed alongside more traditional shoes, so I got lost. But good news that Scotland has some good weather 
If there's a shop in Glasgee that does gait analysis then go for it. Running in summer is not that bad as you shed off a lot of water. For a 10k run I'd probably drink a litre of water during the run (and then more water in the evening and next day).

Mindy, assuming you're getting 8 hours sleep, that works out at about 1,000 steps an hour. Keep it up!

Been stepping up my CrossFit game a little. It's always really tough. My cardio still isn't up to scratch.

Did squats yesterday, then it was squats again at crossfit today.. plus other hip/thigh related things. A lot of rigorous hip thrusting.

Gonna feel it in the old drumsticks tomorrow.

Bad news lads.

I've got an umbilical hernia. Doctor said it's very small and minor. It's not serious. I've been referred to see a specialist with surgery in mind.

I'm pretty sure I know how I got it. I stretched my arms out like you do when you yawn a few months back and remember a sharp pain in my belly button area. Nothing came of it so I forgot about it. I did notice recently I have an outie belly button and I can push it back in so that's what made me go to the doctor.

Anyway, how would you go about training with a hernia? I'm not going to stop, my goal I suppose will have to change to maintenance.

I was very upset but I'm over it now and looking at it as a new challenge.

Thanks fellow roiders 👍

I'm not sure. I can't imagine there's much grip to a bellybutton, but maybe you can thread a weight plate on it? Maybe more plates as it gets stronger and longer.
