Has anyone read Becoming a Supple Leopard by Dr. Kelly Starret? Kind of a cheesy name, but a very insightful read. If you are interested in functional fitness, injury prevention, mobility, olympic lifting and athletic performance in general, I highly recommend the book.

I am about 2/3rds through the book. My approach to lifting has been altered significantly and I'm excited to implement some of this information.

This was a good week. Since I got off the meds for my back and hip injuries, I've been eating more regular meals and now that I can run again, I've hit the gym every morning this week after work. I can't do weights or anything more than walking/jogging/stretching until March though.

Tonight I weighed myself and I'm down nearly 20lbs from January 31st, when I was able to stop with the painkillers and steroids. I have a long way to go, but I'm hoping to be able to do the Warrior Dash in August...hopefully...

That's a hell of a drop, man. Good to hear.


I myself have been lazy - haven't touch a single weight for nearly 4 months. As opposed to being around 7-8% bodyfat, I"m now just over 11%. I've lost muscle mass and a little weight. Down to 180lbs. Signed up for Tough Mudder in May to support a friend and I have football firing back up in April. I figured it was time to get back in gear - conditioning starts Monday and I'll ease into strength training about 3 weeks later. I won't lie, work and this damned cold weather really take the motivation right out of you. It's so easy to be idle and eat trash.

I hate that they gave me a steroid to help with my back injury. It makes me eat non fucking stop. I gained something like 40 lbs between January 1st and January 31st.

I need to buy a bike. Any suggestions?

The bike will be used for training, 15+ mile rides, some triathlons the first year, possibly a century ride next year. I would also prefer if I could ride this bike around town with my wife and little one.
