What does this button d...

I wish so badly that I could #mine BTC, but living in the UK its just not feasible with our crazy energy prices. Even just getting hold of an S9 to turn into a space heater has proven difficult. Would love to get one sorted before winter.

Friday in the FIAT mines is dragging, but I get to pick up a brand new second hand electric #piano on my way home, and then curry for dinner. Good things come to those who procrastinate. #nostr #plebstr

I'm still pissed we didn't get sigagg

Peppermint #tea is 🤌

I just go to local meetups anyway, met some awesome people that way.

I’m very glad to share this 😄 the basis for me was the kneesovertoesguy program. I tried so many stretches and programs from physical therapists and nothing worked for me. They would also say the injury is very unusual as it is higher up in the back. Kneesovertoesguy (kotg), Ben Patrick is his real name, made me understand the importance of being strong even at the end of your range of motion. I never paid for his program, but at the time he had lots of video material. There’s still quite a bit on the channel to get started.

I suggest applying the following principles to build your routine:

1. Become strong at every part of your range of motion.

2. Use a weight that you can move pain free, even if it’s half a kilo and only raise weight once you dominate it.

(I usually use a 5 min timer and alternate between two exercises of opposing sides, for example triceps and biceps, but it applies to most muscle groups) if I can reach 50 reps with good form, I’ll raise weight. Keep in mind this is to heal and strengthen not to build maximum muscle size.

3. Also train the opposite direction of movement. I forgot the term for it. But basically we are very good at pulling inwards with our arms. As in something is on your side and you pull it towards your body, but we aren’t very strong moving a resistance in the other direction.

Using these principles allows to slowly build and do so pain free, which is key. If there is pain, there is damage happening. I went from not being able to sit a few minutes without wincing to sitting in a train 6 hours and feeling no discomfort.

If you feel overwhelmed just start with a one thing and build from there. I’ll gladly help with advice if I can.

What’s your injury like?

On point three you are talking about concentric vs eccentric parts of the lift?

I havnt got a proper medical diagnosis for my injury, but I did something years ago and it just gets easier and easier to put out again. The pain is very much in the centre of my lumbar.

I saw an osteopath and they were the one who told me my pelvis is tilted and abdominals shortened, despite being in good physical condition otherwise (3 x 1.5hr of resistance training a week)

I really want some exercises that will strengthen both posterior and anterior chains and hopefully be protective to my lower spine.

The main time my back hurts in the gym is when doing free weight exercises like shoulder flys, as I need to bend slightly, which is where the pain comes. I can bear plenty of weight, it's just bending over and back up again that gets me!

But then how will the shovel salesmen get rich? 🤔

For some reason it's the only time I have the attention for it! 😅 or perhaps the only time I can think of something worth saying out loud

I've not understood you, sorry, how do you mean?

Seems #nostr is pretty much only my #gym mid set entertainment these days.

Today I am tidying up some #python scripts in order to generate a few years worth of data in a structured format in order to combine a few hundred thousand lines of data in order to load it up into #Powerbi in a way a such to avoiding it from FREAKING THE FUCK OUT!

Yes, that's what I answered, i think this kind of question might be hard for the AI to detect the answer for.
