Yup! Fine line between hard and stupid. I'm usually one to push through the pain and just ignore it. But I'm not in my 20's anymore.

 

[Mister Ski]

Going to a sports medicine specialist today about my legs. I've stayed off them for two weeks, bought new shoes, and I ran on Monday. I got about a block and the pain came right back. Although not nearly as bad. I want to add running to my routine. So I must get this figured out.

I get bored on the bikes and lifting. I also can't lift anything with my legs when I'm sore. So everything is focused on upper body. This sucks but hopefully I get it figured out.

Dr Ski says it sounds like it might be a stress fracture.

Good luck!

I have the same pain in both legs.

Lets hope not.

Great sense of humor.

X-rays showed a possible stress fracture in my right leg. I have to schedule a bone scan. Doc told me if I ever want to run, I'm going to need orthotics to help my pronation due to flat feet. He said I could spend $200 on shoes and it wouldn't help without them. Thing is we don't have a ton of cash to pay for that. So I'm out at least 3 to 4 weeks for now. Will be longer if its broke.

Wow I am sorry to hear that, hope you have a speedy recovery.
I am going to the Doc next week for calf pain I have had for about a month.
Keep us posted.

Well I was helping put on a Strongman show on Saturday. They were using my equipment and I was going to test it all before the show to ensure things were in order. Ari Gunnarsson from Iceland tore his bicep and couldn't show up. So 10-15min before the show starts they come and see me and ask if I want to compete. The referee is Magnus Ver Magnusson (4 times world strongest man). **** yeah!

I hadn't planned on this and actually did crazy workouts all week but what the hell eh?

I haven't competed in 5 years. I stopped training 3.5 years ago and only got back into in in January but what the hell.

Stacked meet included
- 3 Times Canada's Strongest Man, 2 times NA Champ and 8th at worlds last year

- Masters Worlds Strongest Man (age 40+)

- #3 in Canada ad 5th in NA

We were 6 so it was a stacked show.

Harness rope truck pull
Pulled a truck 100ft. I got 34seconds. Won with 28 or 29.

Log Press
Did 320 log press. Missed 340. Was won with 380

Farmers Walk
310lbs per hand. Did 52ft. Was won with 110ft. Slick handles and grass was hard to walk in.

Husafel Stone carry
420lbs stone lifted from ground and walk. Managed 38ft. Was won with 101.

Circus Dumbell press
200lbs dumbell with 2 3/4" handle. Overhead press for reps. Didn't manage one but nor did someone else. They lowered to 175 to tie break and I got a rep with that.


Now I am doing a show on Oct 5th as part of the Worlds Natural Strongman Federation so it is drug tested. Look forward to seeing how that one goes.

Nice job!

 

[Mr. Green]

hate it when people texting, chatting, on these exercise machines. most of these machines have duplicates except the one I like to work on the most. they're not even the regulars.

Good job bud! Good luck on the next one.

Thanks. Already back in the gym today. I'll try to get some pics or videos up later this week.

 

[Skiman]

Good job Snad!

I go tomorrow to find out the results of my bone scans. Its a damn shame that they can't tell me over the phone either positive or negative. No wonder why health insurance is so expensive. Drives me nuts.

Slight groin strain while running last Wednesday. Took Thursday off, ran Friday but it was still tender. Took Sat and Sun off and ran yesterday, and I think I'm good now. Kinda scary.

Good luck, BM!
