i don't know how to do that. I'm lumberjim there too, though...

I will have a cast placed on my right forearm to immobilize my wrist in a neutral position. This should allow the small tear in my TFCC to heal without surgery. My ortho doctor said he had a torn TFCC something like 10 years ago, never had surgery, but his full range of motion has never returned in that wrist, and he can't do things like normal pushups anymore. I guess I could try the "perfect pushups" since that device places the wrist in a neutral position.

they have them at the gym.... i watched a youtube of a person using one.

Are you supposed to NOT kick at all then? or does it help the upper body some other way... the guy in this video kicks a bit.

entirely depends on how naturally buoyant you are and how hard you want to work out

2.5 pull ups today. Woot

Swam 100 lengths Mon (just over a mile), ran a couple of miles in 20 minutes yesterday. Just mowed the lawn -if I go fast that's a real workout, but I had to go slowly because it was so long, so I guess it's back to the pool this afternoon for today's workout

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is only 600 meters... you're on your way back.

thanks! so are you! and so is monster!

I weighed 257.2 before the workout, 253.4 after, and 253.0 after the pool!

I'm hoping to be 240 by October 3rd. That's the date of the Downingtown Fall Fest, and I hope to attend that event with room in mah belly.

It would be a good GTG for the locals.
