New Rings, Tight Posterior Chain and the Best Geek Joke of the Day

New RingsWednesday I promised a picture of my new rings. Today I deliver.Speaking of Wednesday morning…my hamstrings and glutes are still super-tight this morning. The nearly 200 swings and 260 squats definitely brought on the DOMS monster. It was tough to sit all day yesterday.

More on that in a moment.

Best Geek Joke of the Day

I read this today, in a WSJ article about the physicists at the LHC.

A neutron walks into a bar and asks how much the drinks cost. The bartender replies, ‘For you, no charge.’

The WSJ reporter (Alaxandra Alter) claims that joke is “less likely to go viral” and “…rather opaque.” She’s just not hanging around the right kinda people. =) I thought it was hilarious. That joke is going to get TONS of play on my network.

As I mentioned earlier, my hamstrings and butt were super-sore, and tight this morning. This is the sorest I’ve been in a year and a half. I had to do something to loosen things.

Stiff-legged Deadlifts from a Box
4×5 @ 185#
Elevated on a Box for full ROM.
Bar touched my toes on every rep, hold for “4 Mississippi” count, slowly stand up.

That actually seemed to help quite a lot. I’m still a little sore, but I think that was enough stretching and enough work to kinda break things loose again, but not so much work I’m gonna get tight again tomorrow morning. I hope not.

    Bwah ha ha. I am so going to use that joke in my chemistry class. Also:
    A proton walks into a bar and orders a diet soda. The bartender asks “Are you sure that’s all you want?” and the proton replies “I’m positive”.

    Awesome.
    I like your proton joke too…we need a good electron joke and we’ll have the basic particles covered.

    Extra credit points for the best electron joke posted here in these comments.
