***MARCH IS HERE. WINTER HIBRONATION IS OVER LC THREAD*** - Page 17

cross posting this from my log....

I went to a muay thai class for the first time the other day. They had the beginners separate from the rest of the class. There were about ~20 of us, and looking at everyone I was almost definitely the best athlete of the bunch. We started off doing a bunch of warmups and circuit bodyweight stuff including a lot of ab exercises. I really hadn't done a ton of ab exercises since I wrestled in HS(10+ years ago), but I assumed that squats/deadlifts made my abs strong. However, a few minutes in my abs majorly cramped up and I had to step aside for a minute...was kinda embarrassing.

Not liking that I couldn't do something, I've tried to do a little ab routine after my normal workout twice since then. And both times same thing- My abs aren't even getting all that tired when all of a sudden I cramp up like crazy and have to instantly stop and stretch my abs out. Its not lack of hydration, as I'm drinking plenty of water. Is this something that will cease as I do more ab isolation exercises? If not, wtf am I doing wrong? I assume my abs have to have a certain level of strength from squats/deadlifts, right?

My abs would occasionally cramp after tough workouts. Maybe it's just fatigue from a squat/dl workout earlier in the week? Adding some planks or other ab work can't hurt though.

My gym is pretty small and previously theres been basically 0 woman who actually come in and lift weights (thought a few that do the Bootcamp style stuff outside) but lately theres been a few girls training squats/deadlifts etc and its pretty awesome.

I went in yesterday totally exhausted from not sleeping all night and found a petite asian girl being taught how to squat and my brain exploded.

Could probably just marry her tbh.

Hey, was wondering if anyone could help me with this reoccurring knee injury that I get.

A year ago I woke up after I night out with multiple deep bruises all over my left knee and it was incredibly weak and painful. It felt like my thigh was going to snap over my knee and fold on my shin when I put weight on it. The pain was below the knee cap on the left side. I didn't hit it off anything at all.

After a month I ended up taking it to the doc and got an MRI, they told me all my ligaments were strong, no fractures, but that I had a bone bruise and it would take 4 months to heal. At this point I was walking on it but it still hurt and was weak. I couldn't run or lift with it.

Now, 14 months after the injury my knee is still giving me a ton of trouble. The knee often feels stiff and awkward to walk on. It bruises easily and occasionally I get a quick sharp pain, usually if I'm jumping on it or something. There was a few months during this span where I felt I was fine, but it came back.

Usually the bruises come in the morning and are a little bit lower. Not sure if this is from sleeping or because of stress throughout the day. I prob walk 10-12 miles a week on pavement. This is what happened after 2 frames of bowling.

Have you ever rolled your quads, ITBs or glutes? If not, that's where I'd start.

If you have the means, I'd see someone who's good at ART. Look for the person in your area who has the most certifications. The Biomechanics certification is the big one. http://www.activerelease.com/providerSearch.asp

Frequently, joint pain is caused by muscle adhesions. Adhesions in the areas I mentioned above can all cause knee pain - right in the joint. Since your doc said the structure of your knee looks solid, I'd be surprised if you dont have a lot of muscle adhesions messing your knee up.

Out of interest, how long did it take facebook and popular media to turn to "Kony 2012 is a flawed campaign" mode.

It was basically within the first few hours on facebook and within 24hrs in popular media here... but I don't know if that is just because 'strayans are a pretty apathetic (lazy obv) bunch.

In more interesting news

This may honestly be the best commercial I have ever seen.
I think the only thing that would've made it better if the train sound didn't sync up. Still a 10/10 though.

Anyone ever hear of them before?

I think we (I'm speaking for all of Australia, because I am the president of Australia) got over it really quickly because the whole thing feels so "American" ...no, I don't know how to explain that.

...but it's like it is by Americans, for Americans and Aussies tend to get very "lol America" very easily.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, STOP SERIOUS KONY DISCUSSION IN HERE! this **** is tilting me to no end. like everytime another guy finds the video for the first time he thinks he has to share it instantly on every ***** social channel with everyone. and then the endless discussions if this is now good or bad and if IC is good or bad etc.
obv the prince of uganda stuff is awesome and some of the other pics, but please no discussion about it in h&f. it was the only place on the whole ***** internet that was kony-discussion free until now.

This, also wtf is the harm with people getting into the Kony campaign and sharing it. OMG TERRIBLE DUMB PEOPLE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE ANYTHING LULZ, GO PLAY ANGRY BIRDS

Also the campaign seems to be working anyways. Everybody (for the most part) knows who Kony is now.

I guess I just don't see the point of being so against / annoyed by it. What is the fkn harm?
