got in a car crash on the way to work. the drivers in this country are truly terrible, as a rule: i ran into the guy's right tail light because he stopped suddenly, for no apparent reason, after swerving partway into my lane. luckily i slammed on the brakes and was only going a few mph when i hit him. the car will need a new headlight and maybe a new bumper but otherwise it's fine.

damn

Quote
on the bright side, it's another confirmation of how much it takes to stress me out: my heart rate never went up, even when i was pulling away from the crash and wondering if the guy would follow me (needless to say, you don't exchange insurance information in this country). this is a trait i appreciate in myself so yay for me.

nice about the HR.

ya i'd be worried about that too (paranoid/defensive). A cop that lived near me was actually almost carjacked that way; he was off duty, someone rear ended him going slow, he pulls over, gets out, and dudes in another car in front got out and attempted to take his truck, but he was armed etc etc.

life is nuts. even a small fender bender could be something more serious.

my HR jumps pretty fast, I think.. I mean I can stay calm but I get "focused/on guard/aggressive" very fast. For example, when i'm wakling it can literally jump just from how a car passes me at night - or how they use their break lights etc.. When it jumps, I never ignore it. Also that's one piece of advice I have for anyone; if your HR jumps and you get "chills", don't ignore it.. some shit could be about to go down.

Forgot which country you're in but it seems like a lot of foreign countries(after watching Top Gear) when you get into a car accident there's just an awkward wave and smile and people just drive off...except for Russia, shit goes down in Russia.

you mean like russian mafia pulling out rocket launchers?

I watch car accident and fight videos sometimes and its mostly in Russia where road rage is taken to the next level lol

i think so many of those videos are from russia because dash cams are so widespread there. take this with a grain of salt because i just read it somewhere on the internet, but i think that's because insurance fraud became rampant: pedestrians diving onto the hoods of cars and then claiming they got hit, and the driver is assumed to be at fault unless there's evidence to the contrary.

i live in pakistan, fwiw.

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: something a little wonky in right hamstring
MENTAL STATE: good

- yoga x 75 mins
felt extra good today, ended feeling both like i worked and a bit blissed-out. beginning to get back into the yoga groove.

also went down a little GMB rabbit hole today and it reawakened my desire to work on some bodyweight holds and stuff. that and i'm frankly bored at the gym, going through the motions is fine but it's not exciting. first thing is to fix my wrists, especially the right one. i'm going on vacation from friday to the following sunday (hungary and croatia with the parental units), and i'll do a lot of walking and whatnot and, if i can convince them, perhaps some HIIT-style stuff with mom and dad. but i'm also resolving to do the GMB wrist warm up every day.

parental units

Glad someone else uses this phrase.

LBSS · « **Reply #4069 on:** March 27, 2017, 12:12:01 pm »

back from my 10 days in europe with the parentals (what up coges). it was awesome, so much good food, so much to see. walked about 8-11 miles per day, with a couple of exceptions when we had long drives. did some wrist and hip stretching with my dad. that was it for exercise.

tonight

- yoga/HIIT x 75 mins
badly needed stretch, hips are a bit locked up after the trip back over here. wiped out, barely slept last night due to migraine/luggage fiasco.

On board the handstand train?

LBSS · « **Reply #4072 on:** March 28, 2017, 11:27:24 pm »

trying to be. gonna take a long time, though. right wrist in particular just isn't having it.

Coges · « **Reply #4073 on:** March 29, 2017, 12:28:36 am »

I'm experiencing the same thing. Left wrist is a bit buggy and right elbow has just given me the finger. Funny that it's not taking me as long as expected to get some results so I think you might surprise yourself.

last night

- GMB wrists

this morning

- GMB wrists, hips, shoulders

ETA: i woke up before my alarm this morning, fully awake. used the time to do some mobility stuff. felt awesome. lady friend and i have agreed to start going to bed earlier during the week. being up and active for a while before work is amazing, much better than hitting snooze.

evening

- warm up
jump rope + GMB wrists, hips, shoulders

- DB OHP 20s x 5,5

- pull up sternum-to-bar x 5,5

- trap bar DL 105 x 5,5

- cable curl 32 x 10

- tricep pressdown 45 x 10

- hollow body hold x 20s,20s,20s
hard

first time back in the gym in a good while. gonna keep doing normal lifting stuff while stepping up wrist and shoulder prep and getting my hollow body hold up to a full minute. once i can get onto my hands with straight arms, hello handstand, tuck planche, etc. can do crow pretty easily. also it'd be awesome to learn how to do a backflip.

Preach it.

That is on my bucket list for sure. It is mostly mental/ technique, one of my co-workers was at least 75 pounds over weight/no longer athletic and could still pull one off due to his gymnastic training as a kid. It was incredible to see.

morning

- GMB wrists, shoulders, hips

- crow and crane practice x 20 mins

- wall handstand walk ups x 10s,10s

friend wanted to work on a couple of yoga hand balances so i did some more simple ones alongside. got pretty close to a decent crane, which surprised me because of how demanding it is on the wrists. good warm up really matters.

afternoon

- goof off in pool x 45 mins
super fun. god bless the canadians for both having and barely using a nice pool.

evening

- GMB wrists, shoulders, hips + jump rope
jump rope was on point, very relaxed double unders and smooth transitions

- trap bar DL 125 x 5,5

- superset
-- pull up x 12,7
-- DB OHP 18s x 8,7

- hollow body hold x 30s,30s
second one got tough toward the end

morning

- GMB wrists, hips, shoulders

went to bed around 11:15. wasn't immediately tired but lady friend was wiped out so i thought i'd try going to sleep without reading or anything. great idea, woke 25 minutes before my alarm and feel rested. did bad about the early-bedtime resolution last week but damn it i'm gonna follow through this week.

Coges · « **Reply #4078 on:** April 02, 2017, 11:02:45 pm »

For me early bedtime seems to be the hardest thing to do consistently and it has the widest effect on the rest of the stuff I want to do.
