Our high school pushes deads and cleans a lot. Many of my kids teammates seem to be have knee and shin problems.

Mine did the same thing. Dead lifts, squats, cleans and jerk. My knee got screwed up and only got fixed when I started seeing a physical therapist about it when it got to really hurting during crew season.
 
sloth won :embarrassed:

I'm justifying by knowing I'll likely be getting in lots of steps Saturday and don't think it's bad if I rest my ankle a bit more.

but also feeling lazy today.

If your Fitbit was pink it would match your shoes better and you would have been more inspired. :smile:

One thing that I did a lot and just thinking what would bea little similar was box jumps while holding dumbbells. Make sure it's a good height and you are swinging the weights as you jump. Will give you a little more explosion. When they decided to make me put a hand down on defense, I did many of these. If they get easy use heavy weights, taller boxes, and ankle weights.

I VERY offended by this post!!!!!! Why are they called "farmer carries"? Are there engineer carries, lawyer carries, dentist carries?

Am I doing the offended thing right? I'm new at this and don't get many chances to find a reason to be offended so I gotta be when I can. ; )


No..as a land owning, white, christian male, you're not allowed to be offended. You're so privileged that any offense taken is likely a sign of your intolerance.

It's actually called dental caries and you don't want that.

Exactly. I'm too busy yanking on my bootstraps to get offended, ya know.
 
Need some advice/help

Long story short, my grandpa past away the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years of college. Within a year, grandma sold everything on the farm, the farm, and found a new "boyfriend," even though she said she would wait a year to make any of those decisions. I havent talked to her since and my mom wants me to move past it before my sister graduates in May. Problem is, I still cant let it go. I dont hate her anymore, but I cant forgive her for what she did to my family. I also feel like if I move on, she wins, and gets what she wants.

Advice? Anyone ever been through a situation like this before?

She's old. There will be a time when she's gone that you'll regret how you let things be.

Did your parents farm or were you wanting to farm?

Either way, I would say to sit down and tell your issues to her and try to find out her side. There are a lot of assumptions many times. Best to politely discuss it with her.

It wasnt a farm to make a living off of, but my parents had been helping for 20+ years, and my dad was basically running it for the last few.

Both my grandparents farmed. My parents did and now it's just me. I understand the farming way of thinking. I am pretty certain that I will be the last due to my marriage.

Best advice I can give in this situation is to do the best you can to reach out and overcome this. Farms are a possession, we only live once. Pride and grudges don't do anybody any good

I've never been through something like that, but I can hold grudges so I completely understand this feeling. I think pants and bcc bring up great points and they're right, there will probably be a point in the future when you regret this. But I can't tell you how to feel because you're entitled to your feelings and when I've been upset with someone, having others say "you just need to move on" isn't really helpful. From what you've said though, it also doesn't really sound like she was doing anything with malice.

I don't know if I would talk to her about it, because I don't know what either of you can say which will make the situation better, but at the very least I would try faking it and making it seems like everything's fine. That might actually help you move on and at the very least it'll help preserve the family peace.
 
Meh, I never really liked Animaniacs that much.
