i usually use thick yoga blocks - not only for yoga but also a lot for calisthenics and stretching too. the thick ones are more stable and i find them a lot more comfortable. lately i have seen them only in Prisma (Finland) and they also have the cork blocks - they feel different but also very good and from what i saw, they are the cheapest there. 9.99 per one block. i didn´t check prices in internet though.
but if you need couple of blocks right now - i´d recommend these ones.

It's #release o'clock! 🥳

We have:

* 2.3 version of the server! This is just the current master with a bowtie (aka a tag) so nothing has changed, but for the next one I want to try to use Github's projects to prioritize the roadmap. Let's see if it helps or is just more work: github.com/orgs/wger-project/p

* 1.8.1 of the mobile app. This brings small ui improvements and bugfixes for the routines as well as better compatibility checks with the server

Release 2.4

Saturday #Workout:
5.4 KM of #Running (Light rain, 2°C, 85% humidity, and 29 km/hr wind).

Started day finally getting back to my 14 day sleep goal, then about four hours of readings in my comfy chair sipping tea.

Finally went out into the cold rain for another attempt at a Zone 2 run; some improvement over last week (~60% in Z2). Interesting experiment.

#workoutOfTheDay was suffering in the sun

First a #snatch complex. This was to really start carefully, since it's something I'm not confident in wrt my shoulder issues.

#EMOM 10'
* 1 Power Snatch + 1 Hang Squat Snatch + 1 Overhead Squat

Started at 7.5kg (training bar), and built up to 14.5kg :D which went painlessly and in good form. Happy about that :)

Then 3x 3 Snatch Pulls, which I did at 17.5, 27.5 and 37.5kg. Felt good.

Next was the #wod "Action Hank"

21 - 18 - 15 - 12 - 9 - 6
* Deadlifts (57 / 85)
* GHD Sit-Ups / V-Ups

I did the deadlifts with 50kg on the bar, and V-Ups. Finished in 8'10".

It was outside, it was too bright, and plenty warm (more than enough to exercise in the sun), and then I ended covered in black dust from the sit ups. Oh, and I got a blister on a finger from the deadlifts too 😓

Continued thread

From now on, I will keep my gym talk to this thread, and I will tag my posts as #WorkOut, so people can choose to mute the thread or the hashtag or both if they’re not interested.

Cardio sucks. It’s tiring, it takes a long time, nothing interesting happens. *But* it’s also the type of exercise that gives me the fastest results: doing the same routine two days later is noticeably easier. Focusing on the progress helps a lot to keep going.

Friday #Workout:
274 seconds of plank.
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
23 KM of #Running (1°C, 73% humidity, and 16 km/hr wind).

Slept pretty well, and thought I’d see about going a bit further. Was a bit of a slog, but I rewarded myself with the longest run since November 2023, so I'm quite pleased with myself.

I know getting back to my old five halfs a week is still a (long) while away, I'm feeling pretty optimistic. Now to dial back my enthusiasm a bit so I don't damage bits again. 🤣

Today's #Workout

Mobility: Banded 7s + pec stretch

Warm up: 8 min AMRAP
- 30" skipping rope
- 10 single arm upright DB rows (5 kg) e/s
- 5 (empty) barbell bench press
- 10 deadbugs

Strength: #BenchPress
- Max bench press at 50-60% of 1RM + 2,5-5kg -> 16x 25kg
- 1 min rest
- Max bench press at 50% of above weight -> 26x 15 kg

Workout: 15 min AMRAP
- 16 cal row
- 19 DB bench press (scaled to 7 kg)
Did 4 rounds + 10 presses (4+26)

still quite sore from Tuesday. Also tried the 10kg DB for the wod and there was no way I would do 19 reps (or the intermediate 15)

During today's , I also tested the barbell I bought for my landmine press for the first time.

I also made a kind of mobile anchor point out of scrap wood so that I can use the landmine configuration both in our basement and in our garden. It's not pretty, but it works perfectly.

Thursday #Workout:
200 seconds of plank.
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
10 minutes of strength training.
10 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
12.5 KM of #Running (Light rain, 4°C, 100% humidity, and 14 km/hr wind)

Everything feels like it's working properly.

Today's run in the rain through slush and ice was pretty good, even if it was *very* splashy, resulting in some very soaked shoes, socks, and cold toes. Rinsed the shoes out in the shower to help get the salt out. 🧡
