That's actually another accepted way to do them. Kind of emulates the angle of a bent over row better.
Yeah, it's good to be back. I missed you too, Cow. 
^ 
Yeah, I hear ya.
I went for a ride today. I didn't time myself, I just wanted to focus on breathing in the fresh winter air and having a little fun. It feels good to be back on the bike again. Riding is my sanity. I took it pretty easy.
I love winter riding- hard packed snow is the best. It was very sunny and bright and the trails were not congested. I did get some pain in my ribs- when I started to push it hard up this steep hill- so I jumped off and pushed the rest of the way- it pissed me off- because I can usually haul up that hill-but I didn't want to make things worse so I got off- I think it has a lot to do with the position your torso is in when you go up a steep incline on a bike- naturally you have to lean forward, re centering your weight and like I said before leaning forward always seems to aggravate the pain. It's also an ego thing- I don't want to admit that I am not yet feeling 100%. I guess the thing is to focus on what is going right, on what I can do not what I can't do... I'm not doing too bad considering two weeks ago today I was in the hospital!

Emergency- two days
My get away is softball. I know its competitve and things like that, but I am a very competitve person. I always want to be the best at everything I do. And the best part about it is, I believe I am. Haha.

I tried to do pushups because I thought they would be easier to do than bench work- but I couldn't do them without a lot of pain in my chest so I said fu*K it.

Fufu ,that cat rocks... hahahaha. Thanks!
Yeah the pain in my chest (ribs mostly) is still an everyday thing...
It seems to flare up when I wake up in the morning and in the evening it gets bad too. If things don't start to get better soon I will probably go back to my doctor to get more tests done...
I'm going to train today- in a few hours- as soon as I start to feel better...ugh
I like doing bulgarians. I'm trying to improve my uni-lateral leg strength with bulgarians so I can start doing pistols again. I am going to get back into being able to do pistols like this: bulgarians without weight- bulgarians with weight-BW one-legged squats off a bench- BW one-legged squats off a bench holding weight and then assisted pistols holding onto a doorframe then a rope and then true pistols. At least that's my plan.

You could also do Pistol box squats
yea, those are a great way to progress to the full squat.
if you can't squat back up off the bench, just do slow lowering down to the bench and then stand up with both feet.
Thanks those are good ideas... turns out I can do a few pistols- I tried them today- I tried them with a stack off phone books-
Today
Warmup- skipping, jumping jacks, burpees
Clean + press*
45, 75, 95 x 5*
115- 3 x 3*
120- 1 x 1 - this was tough, I tried 125 but couldn't snap it up.
Clean to front squat
75, 95 x 5
115- 5 x 5 - My energy is so low, it's so hard to fight for so little...
Pullups/ chinups - I can do about 8 good pullups- I am not worried about these- I used to be able to do 20 or so- when I can do 12 I will add weight.
BW- 40 total reps
Pistols
6 reps per leg for 3 sets
One arm DB rows - I could only do two sets because of the bent over position
50 x 10
70 x 8
Roll outs (on kness) I can't do them standing because they put too much strain on my chest
5 reps for 3 sets
I almost didn't train today. Between being in pain and having almost no energy this was a very tough workout. I had to take a lot of breaks and pace myself. I drank a cup of coffee pre- workout just to get going. Just one of those days that you have to suck it up. Now I can dream about cute Japanese women- that's better than any pill...

I could have done a lot more weight on the DB rows but I am taking things slow and smart. It was still a tough workout and I am happy with how I am responding to three sets. My energy is very slowly improving but that's still the been my biggest challenge- out of ten, ten being the most energy- I would say today I'm at about 4. The front squats always tax me. The bulgarians for whatever reason seem a lot easier- I am being conservative with those too.
