I could add more but my fingers are tired. These are just some basic concepts to use as a bedrock for your daily routine
Suggestion: Maybe adding a "Injury" channel. Obviously won't ever replace an actual professional opinion, but it wouldn't hurt to at least get some advice before you go to that point.
Strong recommendation on work out or pump up song: Blood and Iron by Hulkoff
The lyrics are epic as fuaaark
Anyone else have a notification that won't go away on example sparring?
yeah.
There's nothing in the channel for me
@ThisIsChris is working with that channel to get it set up as a group channel prototype
Good deal. I was just wondering what was going on there
@BigBadSaxon - ID Seether- My way Korn-Coming undone
👌🏻🤘🏻
My Bible arrived today
Oh my god this thread
Does anyone know how to get the notification to go away from the example-sparring-room? Mine has been there for a while now
@ThisIsChris ☝🏻
Can you help out with this brother?
Tap and hold on the channel title, then mark as read
Finally cleared to start lifting again after my back injury. 20 minutes in got me like.
It kicked me from it, but that’s fine. Everything is looking good. Thanks.
@whiskeytangofoxtrot nope you weren't kicked I just deleted the channel (it had just been for testing purposes)
Ah, ok @ThisIsChris
Can anyone recommend me a good backpack for hiking with heavy loads? And maybe a pair of boots to go along? Thanks.
Osprey is what I use for backpack. Salewa hiking boots.
I use Salomon boots, GTX2 mid- really like them. Haglöfs backpack
Osprey is pretty good. I have an Osprey 75 litre pack, Merrell Phaserbound boots, Carhartt cargo pants and Carhartt merino wool socks. If you use good boots, dont go cheap on the socks. Merino wool socks are the best, as wool retains most of your body heat even when wet.
Any tips for someone looking to get back in shape after suffering a foot injury? Under doctors orders I'm supposed to refrain from running, lower body workouts.
Since the injury I've gained 30lbs. I'm horribly out of shape after nearly 4 months of zero physical activity
How to work out without using your lower body? Damn, thats a tough one.
Yeah it's pretty limited. My foot had a few breaks so I can't do anything until March.
Bench press, or curls. Get creative.
Pull ups
Push ups
^^^
Pushups may not be a good idea because you have to use the tip of the foot as a balance point.
Pullups and bench press, yes.
@Deleted User I still use my steel framed ALICE pack. An oldie but a goodie.
I used to carry 120lb loads several times, with no stress on the pack.
I bought upgraded shoulder pads and a kidney belt, for like $40 you can make a military surplus pack modern and comfortable.
