Glad to see more people are joining in! It is definitely nice to have company!

RoyN - Not sure about exercising. I just know that my muscles haven't had enough recovery time and, if shore diving, I won't work out the night before. I might the morning before, but within 18 hours of diving. We have too many cold water 'factors' that I would rather exercise the old rule of better safe than sorry. Just my thoughts though.


Thursday 6/18 AM - Elliptical (45 minutes), 3.42 miles and approximately 535 calories. ARH 136.

I still lean a bit to far forward and that puts some pressure on my hands/wrist, even though it shouldnÃÕ, so I stopped at 215

It may help to concentrate on driving up with your elbows from the bottom of the front squat; by that I mean try to raise them as high as possible immediately. This will put the barbell more firmly on your shoulders and keep you in a much better position b/c you'll be less likely to lean forward if you're working to drive up with the elbows.

HTH,

HTH,

That's a good physical cue which seems to work better for me than just trying to think "chest up".

Thanks!

Did one dive, then ate clam chowder, then walked for at least an hour to Monterey Bay Aquarium, went inside, the place was a complete zoo. Went out, walked all the way to Walgreens, got a father's day card, went back to K dock, dropped it at the harbor master's office, and went home today.

Heard the diving wasn't great down in MB today. Too bad. Sounds like you had a good day though!
