<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I just got
my steel mace (8KG), club (6KG) and captain of crush gripper (1.5) a few days
ago from <a href="http://www.deimosathletics.com/">Deimos Athletics</a></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I was
surprised to see that the owners of Deimos are teenagers. The customer service
was great. I did not see the combo promotion that I wanted on their site but I
was able to confirm my order thru simple email and text messages.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The steel
mace is longer than what I normally see in online videos. It is hard to grab at
the end and swing all the way from the back to front to perform Bulgarian
squats. I had to grab it almost at the middle which stretches my lats and elbow
a bit. I feel a bit of pressure on the elbow due to the stretch, but it must be
just my case. Also, the 8KG weight makes it triple hard which I already
expected based from online reviews and feedbacks. I would think that a 3-4kg is
advisable for beginners.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The one
workout I love with steel mace is the grave digger. It works your biceps, lats
and back. You can push yourself to 100 reps if you want to because the risk of
injury is almost none. Just don’t slouch when you perform this workout, always
tight abdominal muscles.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">So far I’m only
using the club for Bulgarian squats since it is lighter and shorter.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The captain
crush gripper is as good as advertised. I used to search for this brand 4 years
ago but was unable to; it is great to see that local shops are carrying this
now. 1.5 is already tough to squeeze. I’m hoping to fully close it in 2 months.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Please don’t
go crazy on this weights especially if you have back and/or wrist injury like
me.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For my
case, since I had minor protrusion of my L4/L5 with sciatica I lift weights
heavy but I don’t go crazy that I have to finish it with time limit. I still
believe in getting stronger by the numbers (of weight) not by the number of reps
you can do. If you want to do cardio then sprint like a madman.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Time limits
are one of the reasons that I’m not a huge fan of Cross fit. The idea of lifting
weights regardless it is light or heavy and combining it with time limit forces
a person to abandon form. Plus doing this with Olympic lift is a disaster.</span></span><br />
<br />

It is fun and you feel free. However, I’m not passionate or crazy about it. Grappling will always be my passion and hopefully I can go back to training once our kids are easier to take care of. Ahhh!

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It’s fun to build your own bicycle instead of letting a mechanic
do it for you. Yes, you need to buy all the tools but you can use that again and
again when you need to re-service/clean it after 6 months or 1 year. You can also lend to it your friends/group when they need it. It took
me 4-5 hours plus and a couple of beer to finish it. That's probably why I messed-up the bar tape :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After 1.5 months I started riding again but only at ECP - Changi
Coastal Road – Changi Village. I still need to overcome the phobia of riding
our usual east and west route. Also, left ankle is still painful when I try to
run (<i>NO, I don’t do marathon. I meant running like trying to catch a bus</i>.) and right
shoulder is still tight.</span><br />

From east coast park we cycle to Changi Ferry Terminal arriving around 6am, as usual Mang Jing hit 35+ kmh after we told him to take it easy! Unfortunately, the ferry is only opening at 7am. Had some light breakfast nearby and when we got back, the terminal is full of people. Ah, it's holiday in Singapore and everyone is trying to get into the boat.<br /><br />After an endless wait and carb loading we arrived at Pengerang ferry terminal around 12 noon. The scorching heat is unbearable, riding condition in Malaysia is way different than Singapore. The ride started immediately; after 30km Kuya Silver had a flat tire. It's already past 1pm and there's no way we can reach Desaru then go back to Pengerang to catch the last 3pm ferry. Thus, the group decided to continue riding all the way to Desaru then Johor Bahru to Singapore. Unfortunately, just less than 30km reaching Desaru we had to stop and go back as one of our riders is having leg cramp and can't continue anymore. We decided to go back to another ferry terminal, Tanjong Belungkor which is 30km from where we stopped.<br /><br />The ride was tough. It was a never ending climb. After you finish a slope another one is just meters away.<br /><br />Lesson learned:<br />Ride early.<br />Bring enough water and consume it wisely.<br />Make sure all riders in the group almost have the same stamina, endurance and mental push. A group riding in the same speed makes the ride easier.<br />Pack some bread and power gel supplement. Yes, power gel. I believe in science of supplements.</span><br />

I decided that I want to start riding road bike. Sad day for me but a very huge smile for the new owner. The buyer intend to use it for touring; he definitely got the right folding bike.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Using the money from my Dahon I bought a Polygon Helios 300. I was eyeing for Helios 400 as all of its components are Tiagra with Richey stem, handle bar and seat post. However, my budget won't fit as I need to buy necessary kit for road bike. Helios 300 is a decent entry road bike unless you're brand name conscious.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I got my road bike at <a href="http://sg.rodalink.com/" target="_blank">Rodalink</a> Commonwealth assisted by Sammy. He did the bike fitting and made sure I got reasonable discount. He included free bottle cage and pedals. I highly recommend Rodalink as I noticed that their price on bikes, accessories and apparels are cheaper.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was also the first time I got to touch a Colnago frame. Oh man! I also saw a full carbon Colnago and I can lift it with two fingers :D</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Kit: Topeak saddle bag, Topeak multi-tool, Topeak pump and extra tire tube. </span><br />

Hi! I am Lil'Jacaré Kimochihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16539638791878430103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856910988351069323.post-65634593076856624492012-08-24T21:31:00.002+08:002012-08-28T02:05:40.442+08:00Dahon Bike: Tighten those nuts<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I'm not sure if this was written before. I've been searching on <a href="http://www.dahon.com/" target="_blank">Dahon</a> site and forums on what are the screws/nuts that should be tighten on a regular basis on a Dahon folding bike but I can't find one.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Hope this will help.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Unfold your bike. From the floor grab it in the middle fold then slightly lift it up and down. If you feel there's some movement in the middle then you should tighten the hinge screw. Fold the bike, there's a Phillips screw that will allow you to stiffen the locking hinge. Try to find the right amount of tightness. Making it too tight will not allow you to close the lever. Unfold it and check if there's still movement in the middle.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I hope Dahon used an allen head instead of Phillips. I feel that it's easy to mess the Phillips head since the bolt is a bit hard to turn. If you have a small spanner, i think it is better to tighten it on the other side.</div>

Hi! I am Lil'Jacaré Kimochihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16539638791878430103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856910988351069323.post-71594979509853776702012-08-23T21:20:00.002+08:002012-08-24T21:42:44.108+08:00Filipino Cyclist in Singapore<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
It's almost a month since my last entry. I've been busy trying to look for a new job. A huge change/decision was made by our employer and lots of people were considered redundant.<br />
<br />
Anyway, as they always say - "change is always good". I'll definitely miss working with my former teammates especially my boss which is one of the most considerate team leads that I've ever worked with.<br />
<br />
Moving on. A friend of mine recommended this cycling group on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/188037714609639/%20" target="_blank">Filipino Cyclist in Singapore</a>. I joined the Dunearn - Mandail loop group ride; meeting point at Novena Velocity. Great, as I'm just 8 minutes cycling away from the meeting place.<br />
<br />
The ride was epic! There were road bikes, MTB and 3 folding bikes (including mine). When we arrived at Mandai road a guy on a road bike suggested that we change the plan; instead of taking Bukit Timah - Dunearn, it will be better to take a longer ride since a lof of construction is happening at Bikut Timah. The organizer (Mr. A. D.) asked us newbies if we're okay with it and we said --- YES!<br />
<br />
I always wanted to see if I can push my body on a longer ride. There was a time I was pedaling really slow and Mr. A. D. advised to lower my gear so I won't easily get tired. He also recommended to focus in increasing my cadence by 80 - 90/minute. It really helped. My legs felt better.<br />
<br />
The best part is that the road bike guys asked if we want to climb up Mt. Faber. Oh man, I was so excited. The only incline I had is at Chancery lane, ha-ha! I completed the climb using my lowest gear. Sick man! I love it! I love the burning sensation in my legs!<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson learned:</b> Go join a group ride. You can learn a lot from other people by asking, advise and observing. Also, I find it safer since vehicles can easily see a long line of cyclist.<br />
<br />
I like this group of riders, they strike me as serious riders in a way that they don't chat too much and take pictures. They just wanted to keep riding. The same rule that my jiu-jitsu coach always tell us, avoid talking much and just keep grappling.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Mr. A. D.. The guy in blue jersey and bike that talked to me when I was pedaling very slow. Thanks to everyone that joined the epic 67 km ride :)</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I saw this video and just found out that there’s
actually an event for bike messenger street racing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I don’t care if you kill yourself by putting your own safety
in line of danger just to feel the excitement and adrenaline. But once you put
other people in danger that sport/act becomes stupid. This event is disgusting and
does not help other people appreciate cycling as a sport. They’re not only putting their
own life in danger but also those car drivers and pedestrians.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
You might say “Oh! You’re just some old, fat, lazy guy who
can’t appreciate extreme sports!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Well, I for one love watching extreme sports such as BMX, motocross,
skateboarding, sky diving, sanctioned fighting etc. I don’t even understand any
of the rules but hell it’s exciting to watch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I have friends who are into sports: wrestling, jiu-jitsu,
mixed-martial arts fighting, paragliding, base jumping etc. I’ve seen them
enjoyed the feeling of adrenaline. Even I participated in jiu-jitsu competition
and I don’t care if I get hurt or my opponent; because we both know and agreed
that this is a possibility.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

What say you?</div>

Lab-lab and I celebrated her birthday at <a href="http://lentrecote.sg/">L'Entrecote</a>. I'm not an expert on steak but I find their steak a bit dry, bland and not thick as it is already cut when they served it. I'm more of a manly protein steak where the juice and a bit of blood are dripping off my mouth. To justify, the place is marvelous and the service is 5 star quality. The oven-baked bone marrow spread-over the fresh french bread is delectable! You can also ask for a refill of fries.<br />

J, T and I have been planning a surprise party for Lab-lab. We decided to do it at our friend’s
bar <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#%21/beerhouse.sg">Beerhouse</a>. So after our dinner at <a href="http://lentrecote.sg/">L'Entrecote</a> I told her that there's a mini-concert at Beerhouse and we should drop-by and have a bottle of beer. Ofcourse, that's not true.<br />
<br />
Come and visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#%21/beerhouse.sg">Beerhouse</a> located at 28 Bali Lane, Singapore City, Singapore 189864. It's a very chill place to hangout with wide-range of beers.</div>

Last Thursday I did some leg workout in the gym.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Barbell squat: 1x8 (60kg); 1x5 (70kg); 5x5 (80kg); 1x8(60kg)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

Single-leg squat: 3x8 (30kg)</div>

Usually, my legs soreness will last for 2 days; 3 days
maximum. However, my recovery seems a little bit slower this time. It’s already
Monday (fourth day) and my hamstrings are still very tight and sore. It’s probably
due to aging and lack of supplement such as Ensure :D</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

I went on with my
usual preparations and gave Lab-lab a kiss and text that I’m already going-off while she's asleep.
After 1 km I felt a shooting pain in my hamstring and knee. I just ignored it as
I already know that it’s probably because my legs haven’t fully recovered yet.
As I’m past Boon Keng/Lavender, I was having severe cramps on my hamstring and
inner thighs. I stopped at a gasoline station and parked my bike in front of
the convenience store to buy Vitamin-water. I was sweating profusely and my vision
is a bit blur due to my body is fighting the cramps it’s going through. I sat
on a box at the gasoline station and rested for 20 minutes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I started pushing my bike after I felt better. I decided to
walk my bike for a bit just to feel my legs and straighten it. Then I ride the
rest of the way back home when I felt that I can pedal again lightly.</div>

I bought her a <a href="http://doorstepluxury.com/products/satchel/classic-satchel-14-inch/">Cambridge satchel 14” bag color red</a> at <a href="http://doorstepluxury.com/">Doorstep
Luxury</a>. It came with a very nice box with ribbon and paper bag. I latched
it on my rear rack on my way home. Their physical store is located at 127A Telok Ayer St, Singapore 068596. The store is lovely and all the sales assistants were very helpful. We went back to the store to exchange the size from 14" to 13" as she finds it very big for her. She's a happy birthday girl :)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
I always see this bicycle parked near our office building
and honestly I have high praise to the person who ride this. That guy ride his bike even if the handlebar is just a piece of wood. Compared to other people that buy a lot of things that are not necessary ‘yet’
when they start a hobby, sport or activity. Note, I said ‘yet’. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
For example, a person that signed-up for a gym membership;
starts buying sporty clothes, latest model of rubber shoes, arm straps, support
belt, shoe bag, water bottle, compression shorts, supplements and the list goes
on. Some of these are probably necessary but honestly you can just workout
using any plain, old, comfortable clothes that you already have. Ninety-nine point
nine percent of those gym members already have some old lycra shirt and rubber shoes. So why buy
new ones? --- Because they think that buying new things related to their
activity will make them motivated. But when they realized that they have to put
extra work to this new activity, they give up. They stop.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
The same thing applies with cycling. If you’re just an
ordinary bicycle commuter why do you need to buy the fastest gear, expensive
panniers, carbon parts etc.? Don’t get me wrong, if you have the money then go
for it. But for majority of people that are average earner why bother with unnecessary
upgrades and gadgets. It’s not about the gadgets that you put into your toy. The important thing is if you were able to attain your goal: TO COMMUTE by BICYCLE.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Around City Hall area a guy on a Brompton suddenly appear beside
me on a red traffic light. I checked his ride but we did not give each other a
nod. Probably too early for a fellow-folder courtesy, haha! No offense taken.
Anyway, he’s wearing formal long sleeves, pants, shiny black shoes and no
helmet. Once the light turned green he pedaled so fast I can’t even catch-up to
him. I was like: ‘What kind of Brompton is he riding? Is Brompton supposed
to be faster than my Dahon Speed P8?!’.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This happened for a couple of lights, which is the only time
I can catch-up to him, then he breakaway near Cross St.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Next time I see him I'll definitely ask why he's faster than my ride. :D</div>Hi!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I got caught in the middle of the rain when I reached Lavender this morning. I decided to stop and take MRT station from Lavender to Raffles Place. But it’s only 8:35AM; folding bikes are only allowed starting 9AM onwards during weekday. The rain stopped lightly and I decided to continue cycling but it started pouring when I reached Bugis area. I still pursue cycling since I’m just wearing normal clothes and I still need to take a shower in the office. So why not get soaked for another 15 minutes?!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It was a great experience. Everytime I get caught in the rain I always remember Mel Gibson’s line in ‘Braveheart’ when he’s trying to convince her companion’s parents to go out even if it’s raining.</span><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">MacClannough: What do you want to have a word with her about?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">William: Well, ah, Murron, would you like to come and ride with me on this<br />fine evening?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Mrs. MacClannough: In this? You're out of your mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">William: <span style="color: red;">Oh, it's good Scottish weather, madam. The rain is fallin' straight down, well slightly to the side like.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Also, while riding under the rain I had this confidence that I look like this:</span><br />

This morning I did the Dunearn - Mandai loop that I saw at <a href="http://www.togoparts.com/articles/article.php?artid=2331">Togoparts.com</a>. Started riding at 7:16 AM and completed around 11:30AM. I got lost when I missed the turn to Mandai road and ended all the way to Sembawang & Woodlands. I managed to get back to Upper Bukit Timah but it was a long detour.</div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

I did a 13 kilometer ride today on the same route with incline at Thompson road, Chancery lane, Balmoral road and Goodwill road.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
This time I tried to push the pace harder but I suddenly felt that the handlebar was shaking. A slight turn will wobble the entire front of the bike. I was a bit worried and had to stop to check what's wrong. I tightened the stem bar clamp. It did eliminate the shaking but the ride is still a bit shaky everytime I pushed it hard on incline. I'm still not sure if the stem bar is really the cause or if this is a known problem/issue on folding bikes. I'll try to ask around and do some research and will update this entry if I get any good findings.</div>

Update: I've been following a guy on Instagram and he's a bike enthusiast and we both have the same <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjSYQDbN3iI" target="_blank">Dahon Speed P8</a>. I asked him about this problem and confirmed that he experienced the same thing. He advised to tighten the bolt on the handlebar. He even provided a picture to show which bolt to tighten. Awesome guy! It did fix the problem!<br />

I just sold my first helmet. I was thinking of keeping it in case I decided to do some wake-boarding or paragliding (yikes!). In the end I don't think I'll have the time for it as I can't even fit training jiu-jitsu for the past two months. I sold it by half of its original price since the helmet was manufactured on September 2011, which I wasn't aware when I bought it, and it has some scratches as I always put it on the floor everytime I'm at the parking lot. But I can guarantee that the helmet is still in good condition.<br />
<br />
Bye Pong! Enjoy your new owner. :(</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I was at the gym today doing my usual workout. I
trained my arms and chest by doing the following:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dips: 1 x 8 bodyweight; 1 x 8 (10kg); 1 x 8 (20kg);
5 x 5 (30kg); 5 x 1 (40kg)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dumbbell bench: 5 x 3 (25kg)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Chin-ups: from bodyweight – 20kg - 30kg</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Anyway, while I was doing my chin-ups one of my
usual nod-gym-mates approached me and asked if I was using <a href="http://www.hydroxycut.com/" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">Hydroxycut</a>, a supplement
used to burn fat. It is usually taken by bodybuilders, models, celebrities or
anyone that wants to shed those stubborn belly fats to rip-out their 6 pack
abs. I said no and told him that I just started commuting by bicycle for more
than a month now. He’s actually the third guy in the gym that told me that I
got lean. I lost around 3 kilos in a span of 1 month. My current weight is 68kg.
Not sure if that’s a good thing as I wanted to increase my weight so that I’m
atleast 10% body fat at 75kg. Well, I’ll just keep on drinking milk/milk
chocolate as much as I can. Yay, more food!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Another thing, some guys in the gym are asking me
about what supplement do I take. I’m not an expert but I believe that supplement
shouldn't be a lifter’s first priority neither any workout program. You can
have all the program and supplement but if you are not doing compound lift and
heavy sets then everything will just go to waste. I’ve been visiting <a href="http://www.elitefts.net/" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">EliteFTS</a>
and I read an article that if you train to achieve ‘strength’, everything else
will be easier to achieve such as physique. This is the same advice given to me
by John, a very strong guy that I met in the gym. He told me to even lower my
reps from 5 down to 3 in certain set. I applied this in my squat, deadlift, weighted
dips, chip-ups and pull-ups. The thing that impressed me about John is that he
had a knee injury that made his left leg paralyzed. After doing a lot of
rehabilitation, strengthening and foam-rolling he got back to squatting. For my case, I have herniated disc with sciatica and since I started doing heavier deadlift I was able to strengthen my back. Ofcourse, this is after 1 year and half of therapy, foam-rolling and gradual increase of deadlift weight.</span></div>

to buy an indoor cycling for Lab-lab and a satchel + sunnies. I hope that everything goes well next
week at work. Please, please, please!</span></div>
