Amateurs who compare themselves too much to pros have to be careful lest they destroy the pleasure of being an amateur. By contrast, you describe the pleasure of your workouts in your log, and you strive to find optimal workouts for you rather than angsting over how to be like such-and-such pro. Your approach is a good one.I've been participating a little in a recent thread on the forum regarding the difference between pros and amateurs. I very much believe that genetics is the dominating factor. This got me thinking a bit today about myself... I'm no pro, and I've absolutely slowed down since my youth... but, I train twice a day, most average folks don't. I suspect that I'm blessed, if you will, with better-than-average recovery rate.
Burpees and bent press are a good combination. Burpees hit the anterior chain and are a good ballistic power movement, bent press hits the posterior and lateral chains. I should give it a catchy name, and write a book. Bent & Burping? Way of the Bur-Ben Warrior? Bent Power to the Bur-People? Will have to schedule a meeting with the marketing department.
Thanks for checking in, sir.Some interesting 36kg snatches you've been cooking for a while
With my mild shoulder issues, it's very hard for me to sleep on a hard bed, so I slept poorly in the little 70s-era, cheap-furniture condo we rented during the trip. Soooo awesome to get home and get a real good night's sleep. It really matters so much - a good mattress is worth every penny you spend. When the zombie apocalypse comes, that will probably be what does me in - my inability to sleep on the hard ground. Right, @Spartan Agoge ?
Ah yes.... but if you gentlemen partake in Skimo, or Telemark or back country skiing then you can get the absolute best of both worlds.I'm still, as always, puzzled when mountains or hills or elevation altogether is automatically associated with skiing. Or I never know what you're talking about exactly. In Finnish skiing is done by our own muscles propelling us forward instead of gravity pulling us down. Downhill skiing is a whole another word.
Quite true - when the average American says "skiing," they really only mean the downhill variety- I've never done anything else.I'm still, as always, puzzled when mountains or hills or elevation altogether is automatically associated with skiing.
