Sunday, April 3, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!

If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.


1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.

2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.

3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.

4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.

5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

Just a little bit of yoga today -- my day off. Hope everyone's enjoying the weekend!

Rest day. I'm planning on doing some yoga before bed.

Dog-walking!

14 km hillwalking. Mostly level, on hilltops and ridges, but starting with a 210 metre climb and ending with a 230 metre descent.

Morning yoga, barbell tiemz. My left shoulder is being cranky again, so it was mostly squats and deadlifts. My squat continues to show small signs of improvement, and I was able to repeat my bodyweight-and-a-third 1 rep max deadlift.

And I tried my first ever hang snatch! Bar only, but this is the first time I've been brave enough to try something that involves explosively throwing a metal bar up above my own head.

The usual Sunday bike ride (about 25 miles) and X Stretch.

Stryker's 25min Peak Performance PM yoga, then some extra stretches and stuff for about 15min.

And because I was feeling pretty centered and calm, I tried the crow pose at the end -- something I tried and failed in January. This time I stayed up for about 5sec without feeling too much stress. Neat.

Yay crow!

A little yoga break, 15 minutes.
