Friday, April 29, Check-In

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.

Oh. Wow. Note to self, be aware of possible directions of throwing bar/myself which are a) clear and b) at 180° from one another, when I start with the overheads.

It's not quite as melodramatic as I made it sound, really. You just have to register whether the bar is falling forwards or backwards, and make sure you go the other way (sideways is not an option), with sufficient force to keep yourself and the bar apart. I was using the squat rack, so I sort of threw the bar at the safety bars while leaping backwards.
