I'd arrive late, wearing a Frankie Say Relax t-shirt.

I'd probably have a big box of Valium for y'all as back-up though...

Reset my pelvis about 6 times this week:(:( And then started getting a pain around my piriformis yday and today. Spent aaaages loosening out my left hipflexor today so that I could move and it was grand during training but gonna have to see someone this week before I hurt myself.

Just curious, do you get a physio to reset your pelvis or what it entails? It could be relevant to my interests. Also fair play on the Olympic lifting , it looks like it would be physically tough doing it day to day

I read how to do it in Kelly Staretts book 'Supple Leopard', but here's a vid that shows ya what to do

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGB1-bHXN3w

You'll know straight away if you've reset it..its a really freaky ouch. I never have to do all the rounds like they show in the vid mine always pops straight away.

Also fair play on the Olympic lifting , it looks like it would be physically tough doing it day to day

Thanks

Ah, I'm not surprised at all like. Just old injuries flaring up. My regular physio told me a good few years ago that I had torn cartiledge in my hip and last year that I had a bulging disc in my neck

Only went to a physical therapist to get a massage and he pretty much said that my piriformis was extremely tight and that my hip is inflammed, hence the pain. He also discussed the lack of a Range of motion in my neck...which was a precursor to the bulging disc last time..not too concerned..just need to work on gettng the mobility back.

My hip and glute are only flaring up cos I've spent a ridiculous amount of time sitting doing college work lately:(

The dude that gives us conditioning stuff to do as part of our bet won't let me do regular burpees, always makes me use dumbells

Normal burpee on DBs and then stand and jump with DBs in hands...in fairness to him...it kills my legz

Inspector Coptoor

That answer gives to more questions.

What bet?

What dude?

I'm intrigued now!

LOL...we all made bets in the gym for the run up to Xmas. The lads bets were all based around weightlifting and mine and sarahs was to see who could lean out the most. Hence the extra conditioning and cardio lately.

Dave from the Edge Gym has been helping us out. Did our skinfolds a few weeks ago and we're due back with him tomorrow:o

Got bodyfat done yday and I'm pretty impressed with the results!! Weight didnt change but mm went from 113 to 96. Pretty savage considering the amount of chocolate I've been eating. Turns out conditioning helps you out train a bad diet:pac::pac::pac:

Theres only 0.01% in the difference between Sarah and I now, and with 2 weeks left to go I'm actually gonna put in a proper effort and track kcals and macros and steer clear of the chocolate.....hopefully!
