I had to remove the upward dog from my routine, because it was killing my low back.
I also enjoy planks, and bridges. And Foundation Training.

Bah Humbug

Well I'm about 90% of the way through It, and while I maintain it's not really scary it had the same effect as watching an action movie before bed, where I was was replaying it in my dreams. So when I was watching 24 for a bit, I'd have dreams about running from terrorists in a parking garage. Last night it was me and friends in sewers needing to stand up to a thing that was trying to scare us (but not as a clown). RHR was 61 instead of a more normal 55-58, and woke up sweaty.

I don't normally sculpt my goatee like that; it's done so the N95 has a better chance of sealing.

Yeah, same here. The flexibility and blood flow to my back certainly increased with stretches like that, but they also turned my lower back area into a loose "bag of bones" where joints were floating all over the place, and could settle in all kinds of interesting, but painful positions.

I liken that area of my back to a tree trunk. It needs to be strong and stable, not loose and bending in every direction easily. If you regularly flexed a tree trunk beyond its normal range of motion, would you expect it to be stronger, or weaker? I would say weaker.

That looks pretty good. I sent her the link, thanks.

Not much gray, but the receded hairline is a big tell.

It was prescribed for me after my disc herniation because it brings the posterior borders of the vertebrae closer together and stretches the connective tissue and muscles on the anterior side. Discs move in a generally posterior direction and extension tends to stabilize them. It also helped to teach me good deadlift position and to get lower on the bike without discomfort. As all have said, YMMV.

Predictable.

Velo Vol 

I didn't predict it.

And, unlike the first time, there wasn't a specific exertion that triggered it.

BillyD

Oh my, we've gotta fix that. Alert datlas

And all the rest of the children.

Don't be discouraged, you have to remember people are social distancing in line, so the line moves much quicker than you'd expect.

Only took me 40 minutes last week when I was prepared for a 2 hour wait.

BillyD

You look like Ron Howard.

I'm saying the pain's return was predictable based on the nature of the injury, initially presenting itself as a slight 'ping' that fades momentarily, yet eventually worsens and stays for a lifetime. Hopefully your mileage may vary.

BillyD

Don't be discouraged, folks, VOTE like your democracy depended on it.

Noted.

But how appropriate, it IS Erection Day.

OMG I'm out of coffee and it's not noon yet on a REALLY stressful day. I think I will go see how much the missus has left of hers. lol

Dropped off my ballot in person a couple of weeks ago. Saw about 30 people in line outside my usual polling palce around 8:30 this morning.

Velo Vol 

Correct.

WhyFi

My vote was tallied two days after dropping it in the mail.

Velo Vol 

Not to be that guy, but odds are extremely small that my vote matters. It's like going for a walk on Strava.

WhyFi

The problem is that a huge chunk of people eligible to vote feel the same way and, collectively, they're wrong.

Leftover chickpea, eggplant and tomato mashup with scallions, cilantro and pomegranate molasses for lunch. It's vegan, so at @datlas would approve.

The microwave in our new downtown space has a reflective front, so you cannot see inside. How dumb is that?

Glad to see you survived hurricane season. Drop in and say hello once in a while. You can read my quality posts about my awesome stuff.
