Rewateched your Feb videos and I'm still a bit jelly. You were flying IMHO.

A little more healing, and a more favorable work/life balance you will get there again and then some.

Time sir is all it takes.

Working out in your garage with your kids around is hard. Its nice to be their idol for the moment but it makes focus difficult.

Seems like I have the will power and motivation to make progress most of the time, but I have too many responsibilities.

Time to get creative this summer and push it.

Friday I started to feel really good while playing ball, like everything was coming back together. I have felt semi jacked since then.

Wish I knew why so I could repeat the feeling a will.

No focus today though, did a good bit of working on my one legged running take offs.

Feeling sooo much better. Dusted off the squat rack and gave it a try. Glorious!

Improvements are coming quicker now. Its like I am dealing with some root causes, instead of hearing the doctor tell me to take more ibuprofen/ You will have low back problems the rest of your life. Thanks.

Definitely going to take more time for maintenance from now forward.

Way behind on the log. I am actually healing up nicely. Still doing nothing but BW ring work, which is slow progress.

stretching regularly. been trying to eat better, have been maintaining weight but leaning out. good stuff.

even this morning after working all weekend and getting minimal sleep. I can touch the rim from a run up. ~30"

With how long I've been off, and how beat up I am I am optimistic that I can get over the rim again before I die!

Played b-ball on monday. back is feeling better, I've still been working on one leg take offs on low hoop.

Super impressed with how much harder BW movements are on rings. I figured that I would be able to bust out a muscle up easily.

Turns out I'm not even close.  Technique, flexibility and strength work will be needed to get there.
