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 (or someone else) 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.

Morning yoga, barbells. Which was a bit of a damp squib as every time I miss a week, my bench press decides to up and die on me. But at least I haven't lost too much ground on my squat, and the overhead squat is still my new favourite thing.

And I realized that I need to learn how to jerk press, because my overhead squat is running up against the limits of how much I can military-press overhead (not much).

I started trying the jerk press (with an empty bar), and promptly managed to whack myself in the chin. Which is fairly typical of my learning process. Grace, I has it.
