I’m going to try to make it to outdoor gym tomorrow.
I’m probably going to buy another shaper shirt. I bought this one and it is suprisingly good material. It just feels and looks a but creepy. I look totally like a transvestite wearing this. Also it oddly felt like chainmail when I put it on and took it off the first time and when I just tried lying in bed it was like a skeleton was inside the shirt poking out.

I hope this isn’t like this horror movie I saw about a clown costume a guy found and wore to kids party and couldnt remove later. It grew on him and was a demons skin that turned him into one.
Hey thinki, do you want to buy a shirt and workout?
the briefs are 87%polyester and 13%spandex. The white cleans easy but gets dirty with anything. Sweat, oil etc.
Oh well it will have to wait. I’m going to quarantine today. My face is puffy and red and I felt hot and I had flu like mild symptoms and some coughing. Possibly from not drinking enough water and doing some drilling and sawing but even if I get better and there is no chance of me getting others sick my immunities are down. So I will do a home workout.
I did do a stretch workout last night and everything was supertight. I have been looking up stretches to grow taller. And I actually do believe it. Also my bones are “waxing fat” and feeling extra thick and stumpy and strong that they are starting to hurt pushing for some growth length.
But I was really over and I will disclose my height. I am usually kind of squat and hunched and around 5 foot 6. Yesterday I could not straighten my upper back. I did some warming up and measured myself at like a hair under 5’6". After some stretches and standing I got 5’6" and 3/4" Standing with my next extended I broke 5’7".
My arms too the reach can be a difference of up to 6"+ fingertip to finger tip. I was actually able to increase the height I could reach vertical by 3" while still being terribly stiff. Same goes for hand size. That is mostly moisture and my hands feel dangerously prone to ripping between the fingers when dry. Supposedly the minimum size is 7.5" length and 8 1/4" span. I measured the length before at exactly those dimensions but cannot palm a basketball. With stretching I was able to add at least 1/4" to 3/4" while the hand was not dehydrated and well moisturized.
Same goes for feet. I’m looking to increase a minimum height to nothing less than 5 foot 6 with “poor posture” and a height of 5 foot 7 on average and 5 foot 8 after a thorough warm up and stretch by the end of next year. It is odd at times I have been around people I see day to day and sometimes wearing the same shoes and standing in the same places I am taller and other times they seem to be taller. It looks disturbing sometimes the height variance.
Right now I cannot stand up straight and I spent the the whole night breathing and making noises like I was cheering and running on a treadmill while just laying still in bed. The cold made me so stiff but at least I got a shower and good lotion in before it dried my skin out and made things even worse.
Anyways do you ever notice perceived height of others or a scaling effect? I was surprised how short some people became in comparison to others. I am talking about 1 inch difference in height looking like 6 inches to a whole foot.
I think height and reach can be healthy and unhealthy. And I think a lot of it is actually doubled. Working with a drill the other day and feeling nothing but 3 fingers pinching the drill and seeing nothing but what appeared to be strawberry yogurt being flung around to track my hand movements kind of confirms this to me.
I think I can 5 foot 9 in one year if I really could focus and not have the frozen joint lockups. My reach on average 69 but I have stretched out to 72 and can go further. The more it seems crud leaves the shoulder. Same good feeling with the hip when I tried kicking with a 10 pound ankle weight.
Sometimes I think that is my current height. Sure looks to be and its even shorter. People look at me like I am standing in a hole or below the floor.
Better video on explaining why the split cannot a done. It honestly feels like fear to me. Like I could achieve full splits in 10 minutes if I just “broke the roast hen” between my legs when I try going down further.
A lot of muscles in that video anatomy diagram sequence. It could be any one that could prevent the split.
I am loving the deadlift again. I am finally taking the barbell lifts back after almost a decade of having to clear the clutter so to speak. Much better form and totally unique style and form for me and it is like unloading millimeter after millimeter of stacked on weight. Much better range and I even pulled from the bar fat forward and popped out the hamstring muscles right under the glutes where it felt I had been knifed through for several years.
I even squatted with the barbell right from the floor. Bench was good and improving on inclines after almost an hour of nothing but shoulders. Shoulders are stronger with lots of ascending pre exhaust sets up to 50 pounds for front raises and side laterals. I have my own way of doing them and look the weight out at shoulder level and even above and drop and stop it locked out again.
It looks good. Extremely formidable.
And I’m fast fast fast with standing ab work. I look like a boxer with my movements. And the secret to looking better and performing better is getting into your own movements and showing true just what is actually you.
So I felt better and made it to outdoor gym. I might have broken my left wrist/hand but I think it was just actually a sprain. Specifically I think I I pulled some tendon or kind of crunched some cartilage in the wrist bones more specifically the hook of hamate. I have been hating the slight angle of weakness and how my hands feel suddenly switched out when I need them to support weight. But yeah I was doing the same thing last week with a 50 pound dumbbell, front over head raises and side lateral raises up past the shoulder and then the weakness happened again on the left side. Like there was no strength whatsoever and the arm was being raised by holding onto the weight. It honestly felt like a handcuff ratchet or some odd mechanism of a revolver, but I think this was the only way to really solve the issue
Won’t go into detail too much but I started using my breathing trainer again to fully expel oxygen and control the breathing. Breathing was tough this morning in bed and wouldn’t work on it’s own. No autonomous response. I had to willfully breathe and work the ribs or the chest wasn’t going to rise.
Doing lots of footwork training but it hurts terribly to jump and hop around when cold. The arm bones feel so dense and powerful they hurt. The muscles are so heavy they pull and hurt with their weight. But I have to pull at the weakness.
My blood wont give up oxygen readily or efficiently. I don’t know why. But supersaturating with breathing it doesn’t release oxygen readily and I get that “need to breathe” response all too fast if I exhale and stop breathing. It’s like being paired with somebody else’s breathing. I’m getting really tired of people crashing other people’s systems on me like everything is compatible. So be aware , I’m a master of breathing and I will be working to stop this.
But regardless nobody wants to mention how much they train, what they lift, or if they do martial arts because of fear of being knocked out. Actually training is a vulnerability with the mask because it leaves me very vulnerable to oxygen debt and loss of consciousness.
But I made up a neat little drill to prevent being knocked out so easily.
Not even. No one mentions it because no one here “trains.” I ride almost everyday. I do squats with weights and when I’m in the right mood, sit ups. The closest I’ve ever come to training was when I first started working out. It was much more intense in the beginning because I just wanted to work everything out. Now, not so much. It’s a routine that is very much a part of what gets me going in the morning, like my sacred coffee time but I wouldn’t call it “training” at all.

I sprained my wrist 6 weeks ago. Good luck.
Actually I sprained both evenly and that I don’t think was from sets of incline bench, rope pushdowns, or a dip machine. I actually used an elliptical and did about 14 minutes straight of nothing but arm and arm blaster settings. Today I woke up and did some vaseline healing. Every so often I can treat my skin and bones with vaseline for some gains. Pain is going away and I did some warmups and movement is so much better and things are aligning and popping nicely.
Hopefully this undoes the handcuffs between Nick.
But back to my staying up and not fainting drill. Like I said there are times when you are extra vulnerable to fainting or getting knocked out that it makes you a bit over hesitant. I’m aware of this especially during the pandemic from really pushing it. But here is a drill I came up with after studying the physiology of the inner ear and how it relates to sense of position and balance.
You can find a diagram of the 3 linked canals that respond to motion in the same direction. The fluid swirls but takes a while to move due to inertia and that spinning along any axis can continue the feeling. It;s not actually the fluid but the gelatinous mass the cupula that dis displaced by the fluid and disturbs the hair cells. Alcohol make sit worse because it makes the cupulas float, those you feel floating and spinning when you lay down.
But instead of having to do forward rolls repetitively along with a cartwheel and a pirouteete ust do some basic head movements. Kind of roll your head forward on the right side like following a ram’s horn and then the left, then repeat but towards the back in the opposite direction. You can pause or just move on. Maybe just 1 or 2 rolls and no more. Not overdoing it is the key. then roll the head like following a clock in both directiions, then slowly spin completely right on your feet and then left one full rotation.
Then just stop and let the cupulas and hairs recalibrate and get used to the fluid swirling. Don’t overdo it like 30 minutes of forwards rolls, cartwheels, and then pirouettes. Do it every other day or daily and don’t make yourself sick. The inner ear will get healthier.
But that’s not all!
Spinning isn’t the only thing. It’s the sense of moving and where gravity is that can cause you to collapse or get knocked out easily. There are two other small organs in the inner ear other than the 3 semicircular canals. The utricle and saccule. The former sense horizontal acceleration and the latter vertical. Both are sense the direction of gravity relative to the head. Remember those feelings in the elevator and stopped at a traffic light when you thought the car was moving?
So easy fix I just let my head tilt back and forward and side to side to recalibrate to the upright positon. You can do this off a mattress. Just don’t over do it.
Less anxiety about getting knocked out or fainting.
I like my looks better every day now. Sometimes they aren’t the best i
Or at their best but it is so much easier to transform and change so they are and most freakish. You can call me out of shape and I can show you something far superior both in appearance and function.
Breathing is just one thing I can easily dominate with.
You won’t if you have to stop lying to yourself.
Let’s look at your face mark.
