Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Don't even know what to call it any more.

    So...I was reading the log from the start and a couple of questions:

    1) What happened the weightlifting?
    2) Cryotherapy...why? Was it worth it?

    Also, those 3 x 6 minute rows...f*cking sadist. But good work.

    Also, those 3 x 6 minute rows...f*cking sadist. But good work.

    1. I'm crap at it.
    I started to fall apart
    Shoulders, elbows knees all giving out.
    I still drill the lifts but at low weights.
    I'm more interested in the coaching side of things

    2. Cryotherapy
    Why not?
    I wanted to experience it.
    I hit a lot of PRs off the back of cryo twice a day but then I got injured.

    3 x 6 min rows is a walk in the park compared to 7 hours on a bike covering 180km.

    My log title is appropriate.
    I do lots of stuff very averagely cause I enioy it
