As much as I respect your sense of community and goodwill, and feel I do my best to practice those same values, I also don't think there's anything wrong with sometimes just accepting someone's help for what it is and leaving it at that. From what we've all gathered on these forums, and from the accounts of people on here who've met you in real life, you've lived a long, selfless life and helped out countless other people along the way. I don't think you owe any sort of debt to anyone else. It's just the world paying you back for all you've done, Joe.

Gave back $1500 of CERB money I had collected mistakenly. When the application asked for my last day of work, I put the last day I actually went to work rather than the last day I was paid for (had three weeks of a payment plan for being laid off). I probably could’ve gotten away with it but I’m such a good f***ing person I gave it back. You’re welcome, Canada. edit: should clarify that my putting the wrong day on the application was a mistake and was never meant to rip off the feds.

That guy’s a helluva lot more motivated than I am lol. I was hoping to take the vest and suspension trainer to the park behind my house and get some stuff done there. Might have to work around the weather now.
-
My suspension trainer and weight vest I ordered this morning are already ready for pickup. That’s great. The forecast for the next week, however, looks like it’s ready to take a big dump on my outdoor workout plans.

You can make those weights feel much heavier, even with stronger muscle groups like the legs. Change the tempo with a slow negative and/or a pause on the isometric, do high reps, etc. Circuit-style training would probably be the best bang for your buck. You can find countless different circuit workouts online. Tinker with the templates and do the ones you like. My favourite circuit looks something like this: 1 minute AMRAP squats 1 minute AMRAP pushups 1 minute AMRAP rows 3 minutes max effort cardio 1 minute AMRAP military press 1 minute AMRAP split squats 1 minute Plank 3 minutes max effort cardio 1 minute AMRAP lunges 1 minute AMRAP pull-ups 1 minute AMRAP pushups 3 minutes max effort cardio 1 minute AMRAP sit-ups 1 minute plank That’s 20 minutes flat right there and you’ll be pretty dam wiped after it. You can modify or add to/subtract from it however you’d like.

You're limited only by your imagination there. How much weight do you have in the dumbbells?

Managed to buy a 40lb weighted vest and a suspension training set from Fitness Depot for $210 after tax. I should be able to get a lot done with that for a while as I don't plan on going back to a public gym until there's a vaccine. How long it takes Fitness Depot to fill the order may be a separate issue, however...

That's the thing. Whether it's watching him now or in the 2015 WJC game, you see these super tantalizing flashes. He'll use a combination of strength, skill, and speed to make a great play on the rush, maybe driving to the net or whatever, then the next time down he'll take the puck behind and up the halfboards just to fire a soft shot on net. That said, he's improved so much. He was struggling to make and receive passes here in 2015 and now you'll see him plays that would've never been possible for him back then. His positioning on the ice is much better too. Watching him in 2015, once his line was set up in the offensive zone he never seems to know what to do. Spends most of the shift sitting on a teammates' hip.

NSAID's will be your friend in the meantime.

I don't seem to recall the ITB syndrome bothering too much while lifting but I could be misremembering. I'd probably avoid lateral stuff like side lunges, Kossack squats, etc though.
-
I dealt with some ITB in early 2019. It was pretty brutal. Just hopping out of my work truck bothered it (it's a 2 ton so a bit of a hop down). I found some self myofascial release on the IT Band, quad, glutes, etc along with some glute activation stuff (particularly glute med) seemed to help.

Watching the 2015 WJC gold medal game with this one this morning, teaching her about the greats of Canadian hockey prior to her time (she’s nearly 2).
-
Watching the 2015 WJC gold medal game and I gotta say, Virtanen really wasn't very good at the time. He's improved a ton since then.

Joe Biden Debates Donald Trump September 29

What did he say?

You still spend a year driving while heavily restricted and two years driving under moderate restrictions, and these restrictions are only lifted when you’re deemed a safe enough driver. We don’t mandate that new drivers go through Young Drivers or similar programs but we do incentivize it. I’d consider the three years of restricted driving (particularly the first year with heavy restrictions) being “forced training”- you’re forced to prepare for that test which deems you an adequately safe driver.

Don't laugh. The President of the U.S believes pretty much the same thing.

Did you buy the interchangeable dumbbells/kettlebells?

Dips?

@PhillipBlunt had been sick too. Hope the bugger’s okay.

I’ve decided to lean right into this pandemic stuff and just let my beard and ‘fro go until we’re back to normal.

That’s what I was gonna comment on too. Meant to hop on here and post but forgot. What a performance that was. It nearly had me tearing up a couple of times.
