how's that kool aid taste mich??

I like it a lot but not sure what I'll do when I can hoop again. My gym is overpriced even for crossfit but it is run by friends of a friend and 2 minutes from my house and seems to have really great, varied programming even with everything outside. The people that go are mostly nice and only competitive in a healthy way and not too tactical sunglassy. (I'm sure being in the Bay helps).

But honestly I still miss hoops a ton and will probably cut down to 2-4 a week when I can play again.

I've met some of my best friends doing the C word.. People that I would not normally have run with or probably have ever even bumped into. I'd stick with it for a bit after the other C word is under control as I'm sure it will get even more fun.

oh yeah I got invited to post-class breakfast like a month or two in. I'll stick with it for a while, I imagine playing basketball 6-8 hours a week while still doing the C-word will be really good for me

I've rowed 5+ days a week for 9 weeks now. I'm about to cross 200k meters. I really like it. BUT(T) yesterday I woke up and my tailbone hurt. like hurts to move around more than to just sit or lay on it. very strange feeling. never had coccyx pain before and didn't notice it during my row but I googled it and apparently it's a thing that happens when you row a lot. I think I may be leaning back too far on the pull putting pressure on it.

do what pj fleck says

oh yeah, I'm for sure just going to row through it. if I slip to even 4 days a week for a single week I know it will be tailspin city to that thing just gathering dust.

you also probably need to do the thing most everyone hates to do.... stretch

[steve dave]

nobody's got time for that. but ok.

Find a ten minute yoga on YT for lower back pain. Simple stuff works well.

Yep I recommend yoga by Kassandra's 10 minute morning sessions. Quick and a good variety and very refreshing. Eventually you can find ones that target lower back but just are pretty good general stretch sessions and Kassandra is a cold hearted no-bullshit Canadian which I appreciate

[steve dave]

my hydrow has yoga sessions but I've never done them. the screen swivels to the side. kinda cool to have the option I guess.

Did I get hustled? be honest, I can handle it

[wetwillie]

Yessir you most certainly did

[Dugout DickStone]

No benefit whatsoever?

[catastrophe]

I thought ketones where just a signal your body is in ketosis.

Bad genes and needing some help shredding

If you need to pass a ketone piss test maybe

It basically comes down to eating less and working harder.

Seriously, give resistance bands a shot. Cheaper, no ridiculous shipping cost, easy to store and travel with. I could see someone still wanting a squat rack at home, but most free weights are obsolete imo unless you’re a body builder and place a huge emphasis on symmetrical training on each side.

Yes.  You body produces ketones when in ketosis but ketones don’t cause it help ketosis and I’m dumb because some hot slut I went to college with sells them on FB

any swolecats ITT have any thoughts about Tonal or other home gyms that use magnetic resistance rather than gravity? seems like magnets would be an absolute slam dunk in terms of dialing up an exact amount of resistance w/o having to have any free weights and i would think for even the swolest of swolecats the equivalent magnetic resistance you could get is a lot more than with free weights.

But hey i get it...just as some people prefer the feel of turning a page or writing down every bank transaction to balance their checkbook, i'm sure there are some ppl that are just old school and would prefer to slam a heavy object down on the ground and walk away triumphantly.  Was just curious of anyone had opinions about it. thanks go cats.

[catastrophe]

I have never heard of such a thing. Wouldn’t magnetic resistance decrease rapidly the further away you pulled the “weight” from whatever is holding it back?
