We are up in Hayward, California in the bay area. You should be busy eating meat and training hard. If you’re getting bored, here’s a video of Ruth and Sean’s (who hosted us at their house and gym for the first workshop) dog training. Her name is Nalu, and she takes her training seriously.

Some of these google banner ads I’m getting are pretty sweet… I’ve got one now trying to sell my glazed doughnuts. Win.
The guys seem busy so I’ll just throw this out there. Has anyone else twisted their back or popped out a rib doing overhead press? I keep re-injuring myself, and this time its really bad. Any ideas besides chiro/massage?
CHUN- I have no idea, but it sounds terrible. Go see a medical professional.
Nalu seems like a cool pooch. My dog, Wrigley, he acts the same way with babies faces… perhaps they would make nice puppies.
Chun, Rib pain could be a small tear in your intercostal tissue. I don’t know about back twisting though.
I expect standard rehab rules would apply:
Take a brief break from pressing overhead.
Ice frequently.
Starr rehab protocol.
Continue icing frequently.
If pain persists see a professional.
Make sure to wear a belt when you press.
Full disclosure: my press sucks.
Chun,
I’ve tweaked my mid-back on a heavy (relative) press. Do you wear a belt? I haven’t had it happen since I tightened up my belt on presses. I wear it pretty loose on squat and deads, but I feel alot more stable with it tight on press.
Also, indian casinos up in WA have kick-ass buffets. Last night I put down 2 prime ribs, 2 salmon fillets, t-bone, lots of crab legs, lots of shrimp, clam chowder, mongolian chicken, penne pasta, mashed potatoes and gravy, and salad. For $20 I call that a bargain.
Just a couple of shirtless 70s Big dudes hanging out. No homo.
Solid facial hair.
Thanks Smash and DD. Deceived you guys a bit though, forgive me as I was tired. I hurt it twice with a push press, and re-hurt it this time when I got lazy and lost form on a clean and jerk. Saw a Doc, and he gave me Robax and a perscription for remedial massage. Will look into the Starr Method though. Would suck to miss this month’s challenge!
Less concerned with what a dog would do to a beaver. More concerned with what I could do to a beaver.
Funny story, Justin: While this post managed to keep me temporarily busy at work today (as you suggested it would) after a brief period following I found myself bored again, and I decided, like any productive employee, to stare out the window. I’m sitting there gazing into plaza located below my office, and spot these two goons prancing around downtown San Francisco in shorts in t-shirts (it’s foggy and about 60 degrees here, mind you). I think to myself, “get a load of these two assholes, they must be fucking freezing”. I look closer and realize it’s actually you and AC, which explains why you weren’t better prepared for the cold, because everyone knows it’s a scientific fact that 70s Big men have the thermal output of an adult Kodiak bear (look it up).
Anyway, it was another entertaining bit to my day, and whatever you and AC got into in SF, I hope it was noteworthy.
This might be the most amazing thing I have ever been told.
