Head Atlantis 660

What tension and in what frame? I've been using the FXP Tour and quite like the cushion.

Wilson Pro Staff Classic 6.1 95 - such a great looking frame but I swear it's filled with meh Donnay Revolutive Apollo - my parents bought this for me in high school and it was far above my skillset

Definitely agree with this sentiment. Even more comfort can be had by modding the Textreme Warrior 100T to the regular 100's specs by adding blue tac in the handle and lead to the hoop.

I was big fan of Hibiki 12yo especially when a bottle was ~$50.

My daughter took the ACT this summer. She "studied" by taking as many practice exams and questions as she could get her hands on for about a month prior to the exam. She's an exceptionally gifted student though. We took a tour of Vanderbilt this weekend. At the tour, the admissions counselor...

This made me giggle uncontrollably.

I saw many of the practice courts and qualifying matches the last two days and I'd say kerber looks sharp, muguruza was not happy with her wrist or forehand, radwanska looked very rusty, kanepi looked awful against an awful lisicki, mattek-sands is a super cool person and super rusty, ostapenko...

The Gamma RZR Bubba 137 laughs at swingweights that begin with a 3. I was really hoping to demo the Bisner but was informed by TW that there would be no demos "due to limited supply."

So glad to hear your continued progress! Saying adios to that pain is such great news.

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery!

5 weeks post op Update: Just a quick update as not much has dramatically changed since week 2. My activity is still limited to walking and no BLT. Pain/discomfort is a bit like a rollercoaster and seems to be highly correlated to the astral phases and Jupiter's position in relation to Uranus...

I second this advice. My calves were never bigger or stronger than when I was doing 50min of spin class 5x per week.

Believe it or not, the no-name balls from Walmart perform well for a long period of time and if you buy the box of 12 cans the price can't be beat. The added benefit of no-name printed on the felt makes it easy to distinguish your balls from neighboring courts.

I think you forgot to add mojo and Ketel1 to that list ...:cool:

And no longer my thing either!

Indoor rowing is a unique sport that requires extremely high levels of both strength and endurance. Pulling a barbell from the floor is quite specific for indoor rowing hence my use of the deadlift and the clean as a training adjunct.

Done improperly, as I fully admitted I did, I'd agree. This is true of just about anything. Couch sitting, bike riding, tennis, deadlifts, you name it, if done wrong, are simply asking for an injury. I was specifically training the deadlift to directly strengthen the anatomy involved in my...

Let's hope so!

Thanks!

Days 5-14 post op Update: Well that was a bumpy 10 days! After seemingly immediate improvement in my primary symptoms (excruciating leg pain), I started to experience on and off recurrence of this pain on days 5-10 with increasing intensity each day until it reached a head on day 11. That night...

I hear you! The surgery and recovery are indeed scary, but getting away from that horrible pain is paramount. You will feel better after the surgery. Please keep me posted either through PM or here.

Thanks for the insights!

I think those plastic extenders are a product called Pojies. @BounceHitBounceHit might be able to add some info ...

Days 3&4 Post Op Update: Lumbar area and incision site are improving each day. Getting into and out of a seated / lying down position are much improved. That said the initial hip shift getting into bed still finds my "old friend" but the leg pain goes away pretty quickly. My right foot / big...

Thanks for the input! I will heed your warning and not rush the recovery. I don't ever want to feel like I did pre-surgery.

Day 2 post op Update: Pain in my butt, leg, and knee is gone. The incision site is sore and my lumbar region aches some, but it's mostly just minor discomfort and is easily dealt with. My right foot and toes have all sorts of tingles and weird buzzing sensations. I'm guessing this is just the...

Convalescing

I figured I'd start a thread to journal my recovery from recent right L4/L5 microdiscectomy surgery. Background: 42 years old, 6'0", 185lbs, no history of back problems, reasonably high level of physical fitness. Some results during last 5-6 years ... backdoor brag ... (running: sub 18' 5k, sub...

My daughter wholeheartedly agrees with this assessment. The eZone 98 is just awful.
