uh oh

 

Our ab and back machine suffered from a meltdown. Specifically, one of the welds broke, and the metal was torn pretty badly. We'd been using the hell out of it, so unfortunately that's not surprising. Bear managed to fix and reinforce it, as she used her powers of unbelievable awesomeness on it - plus a couple of blood sacrifices - so we're good to go for now. I won't be able to use it on maximum resistance, but hey, I'm not complaining. I'll just have to do a hundred more reps to get the proper burn.

I'm using the weight vest again for push ups. Started back at 20 extra pounds to give my joints a chance to acclimate. I'll be using it at that weight for stances soon enough.

Continuing seeing progress with stretching. I'm almost more flexible (hah) than I was before I got out of shape. My tendons tend to the steel cable variety so that's pretty amazing for me. I still need to work a crapload on back flexibility, but the legs, they're getting better.

I hit 30 mph on 4th resistance, actually a little bit over but I'm only counting whole numbers.

That's about it.
