Hi, All!

So, I pulled part of my left quad on Tuesday due to math. We were supposed to do back squats at 75% of max. For me, that was about 90 pounds. So I put 90 pounds on a 35 pound bar and forgot to add in the weight of the bar. I then proceeded to lift 4 sets of 8 at 125 - a new PR and then go to a fencing lesson. Wednesday morning, I could barely walk. Lots of rehab this week, but need to be healthy for St. Louis starting on July 2.

Sunday - rest day - complete rest other than a couple of hours of pulling weeds in the garden

Monday - Fencing lesson and fencing 3 hours

Tuesday - Crossfit class

Wednesday - Fencing 1.5 hours

Thursday - Crossfit class

Friday - Pilates

Saturday and Sunday -drive to St. Louis.

Hope you all had a less eventful week than I did.

Keep on losing!

Topic: Workout clothes

Hello everyone!

I'm the new kid on the block (Well, this block seeing as how I had my sleeve surgery in 2012)

I lost 107 pounds after surgery then life got busy and I got lazy and gained back a lot.

So I got back on the straight and narrow doing what I knew i was suppose to do and since January I've lost about 30 pounds.

They reason I'm here is because the skin (and fat) hangs and pulls on my abdomin. I'm not near enough to my goal to consider surgery yet. So I was wondering if you guys know or have experience with any compression clothing to wear durring a workout. Something that doesn't roll up or down the rolls on my body? Thanks in advance :)

Thank you. I'm ok with what I did. Not real pleased, but it's better than last year. Slow doesn't matter in these things. It's all about relentless forward progress. This race was a 5 mile loop that was mostly crushed gravel with some road and some grass mixed it. It's an ideal scenario for someone trying to do this stuff for the first time, or someone who doesn't want to be out in the woods alone for 12 hours. I did it because it was an easy way to test how long I could stay upright. Now I need to extend it out to 24 hours and take it to the mountains.

You did amazing. Hope you are proud of yourself. I would not mind trying something like that but I am so slow in running. it took me 8 hours to do 50k. Was it a trail run or road

Have you tried using a double layer of moleskin? This article explains what I do when I get them on my left foot (which is my leg which propels my lunges) when fencing. It works really well and they heal nicely. Go about 2/3 of the way down the article for the explanation. https://www.sportsmd.com/sports-injuries/foot-ankle-injuries/proper-care-management-blisters/
