re: Home Gym Hamstring Training
Posted by LSUfan20005 on 9/26/26 at 5:44 am to JohnDoe00
I have a Nordic Bench (Tib Bar Guy/Apex), GHD (Dicks), and 45dg Back Extension (ATG).
The adjustable Nordic bench has been my favorite, helping me tremendously and giving my track athlete kids bulletproof hammies.
Lately I’ve begun loading the 45dg extension and it is sneaky hard.
What I love about all of the above is minimal lower back risk. I still do RDLs but less and less.

re: Going to a PT for neck/trap issues. What to expect
Posted by LSUfan20005 on 9/9/26 at 6:34 am to boxcarbarney
Probably all of the above.
But recognize that if your upper traps are chronically tight it may be due to underdeveloped or comparatively weak lower traps or rhomboids - so a starter routine might be the appropriate first step.

One can be very fit and quite strong with imbalances that create issues. I remember going to a PT years ago with shoulder issues and he told me my back was weak. I was lifting 4x per week and setting PRs, but turns out just doing pull-ups and rows left my mid back weaker. Facepulls and pull aparts felt like remedial work but solved my issues.

RICE doesn’t do shite.
Get him on Knees Over Toes, start with ATG Zero and progress.
Tore mine at 40 and knees are stronger than ever thanks to KOT. No surgery.

Every Braum’s near me is disgusting - the ice cream area littered with drippings from every flavor, fries everywhere, grease coating everything in the place.

I’m thinking about calling it a year and just doing a heavy mulch.
My beds have fought the good fight and are just tired. Even the okra is struggling.
6wks, 2 decent rains.

If you train through the spring you’ll be acclimated enough that it’s really not that rough.
IMO cold winters are harder, the bar gets so cold it numbs your hands.

Recommend pushing to Hot Springs if you can day one, stay at Oaklawn. Makes for a much better day 2.
I’d honestly prefer to stay in Bentonville or Rogers, and definitely recommend Bentonville first for things to do (Crystal Bridges, Momentary, Downtown Bentonville bars and restaurants, great trails everywhere.) Rent a mountain bike in Bentonville and just explore (even paved trails)

How are you keeping up with watering? We are in the same area, and I’m not retired so it’s tough!
4wks no rain at my house, steady 100dg weather. About 35 drops today and likely mandatory water restrictions incoming.

I’ll say this is harder than I imagined. Private party sources are shite (is FB marketplace really the best option?) and everyone thinks their used car is worth $20k regardless of age.

Have you never used creatine before?
Probably. You might feel a better ability to push your limits a bit, but at 53 the cognitive benefits are more intriguing.

Sharing a method to freeze cucumbers that I tried last year and really liked.
Slice cucumbers into half moons and salt generously. Place in fridge for 2+hrs.
Prepare sugar brine of 1 cup vinegar to 1.5 cups sugar (can lower to 1 cup if desired). Fully cool to room temperature.
Drain and wash cucumbers and fully mix in sugar brine, freeze in ziplock bags.
I did this last year and pulled them out in January - the family loved them (drain brine off). Reminds me of a sweet Japanese salad.

I’m still DEEP in cucumbers and just started picking tomatoes this week. Should have lots of tomatoes into September. Beans are starting to taper off and peppers are poised for a great August ripening.
Probably will begin pulling cucumbers and beans and planting okra to get through summer, expecting it to be very hot and dry.

re: The Americanization of farmers markets. Now just pop up food courts.
Posted by LSUfan20005 on 7/19/26 at 7:36 am to sidewalkside
My once-great farmers market has turned into Coffee & Dog Social Time - just a bunch of hipsters with coffee in hand dragging their dogs around. Hardly anyone is actually buying produce.
When I do still venture out and navigate the dog leash tangle, I head straight for the Laotian vendors - they are the best to work with and legit family farmers.

It is the lettuce - Taylor Farms is constantly having recalls.

But this would presume the “field shitters” already have the parasite right? And they’re healthy enough to work fields?
I just don’t buy it.

I had this back in 2013, the last major outbreak I can remember.
quote:
Contaminated Foods: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FDA traced the outbreaks to contaminated fresh produce. Specifically, restaurant-associated cases in Iowa and Nebraska were linked to a salad mix containing iceberg and romaine lettuce, red cabbage, and carrots. In Texas, fresh cilantro was identified as the likely source. Traceback investigations pointed to agricultural facilities in Mexico.
