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.

Weights, finished stage two of NRoLfW. In the second set, deadlifted more than half my bodyweight for ten reps. Woo!

(I think my grip has not been as wide as it ought, but after this occurred to me I tried lifting the same weight with a wider grip a few times and was having no problems, so I figure it would have been the same either way.)

Chest & Back, had to add some weight to the Heavy Pants and Lawnmowers, and am now lifting almost as much as I was pre-elbow-stupidity.

Also discovered a stripe of skin I apparently missed while I was shooting sunscreen on yesterday and found a sunburn I didn't know I had until I put my non-racerback sports bra on to work out. it burns. oh it burns.
