My right knee is acting up again and I hurt my right ankle. This is really discouraging, I can't do anything. I feel like I really ****ed up this time.

Weight lifting final today. Hit 670 1x12 on the leg press sled.

Coulda hit 700.

Mumonkan 04-29-13 04:56 PM

Sled kinda sucks imo, i always preferred squats

i feel like the sled isnt accurate, always feels easier than xxx lbs

Nagrom_ 04-29-13 05:21 PM

Sled is equivalent to 0.71 of squat (assuming perfect technique) . It's on a 45° angle.

So yeah, it's should feel easier. It's a completely different lift.

Today I picked up the bike from the LBS after finally cutting the steerer. Was an amazing ride home, if only it was more than 10 miles.

Today I had a fun street ride in the rain and ordered the makings of a new rear wheel.

Then lift more.

Today I can barely walk, after stupid amounts of climbing fixed on Saturday. I think I'm finally ready to tackle a metric century fixed, without avoiding big hills, as soon as I recover.

Dannihilator 04-29-13 05:52 PM

Yesterday's ride destroyed me, still feel destroyed from it.

Pretty much why I couldn't/wouldn't brag about maxing 900 something pounds on the leg press. If I could do that as a squat or deadlift ****

I used nitrous oxide drink mix several times when I used to lift. hulk out

Nagrom_ 04-29-13 06:11 PM

I'd brag. Lol.

calv 04-29-13 06:36 PM

Morgan, I been meaning to ask you, did you kick the dude who stole you Kilo's ass?

Nagrom_ 04-29-13 06:37 PM

Kind of a sucker punch, but yeah.

Should have clotheslined him.
Scrod would have been proud.

johnnytheboy 04-29-13 06:48 PM

+1 on that Jeremiah Johnson gif

calv 04-29-13 07:09 PM

Did he run off after he knew it was your bike or did he actually try to fight back? Total knock out?

hairnet 04-29-13 07:13 PM

When did this happen?

Dannihilator 04-29-13 07:18 PM

Seriously, when did it happen?

Mumonkan 04-29-13 07:28 PM

This was at like 530. Had to ride to the track by 6. Pain train, 84GI, brakeless, through downtown, rush hour. Living on the edge.

Resolved the report yesterday.

It was a long ass day.

jpsawyer 04-29-13 07:30 PM

I confronted him, he said he found it. I said it was mine. He said he was keeping it. I grabbed the bike. He pushed me. I punched him. He got all stumble-y. I grabbed my bike and rode to the track. Wasn't a total knock out, but he wasn't all there.

Don't do meth.
