To paraphrase Yi-Fu Tuan, city/place is security and space is freedom. We are attached to the former yet long for an atavism of the latter. #getoutside #iwillneverbeaburlyman

Slosh Pipe Squat Variations. Zercher/Back/OH/Cossack / The Slosh Pipe offers the challenge of slowing down any particular movement, inherently ramping up the isometric tension, and therefore providing a relatively pronounced time under load. / #controlyourself #iwillneverbeaburlyman

FRC® Passive Range Lift-Off - Dragon Squat 🐉: Tibial External Rotation PRL. For any given articulation, ranges - the angles attained - that can only be achieved via passive external force is, ergo, Passive. Said ranges attained through the application of active internal muscular force is, well, Active. Maintain (and expand) y’all’s ACTIVE ranges for, in this case, positional resilience at the knee. 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 #FunctionalRangeConditioning #FunctionalRangeSystems #ControlYourself #DrAndreoSpina #FRCms #FRC

I still work on being available - literally, just available - for my family and friends. I’m not saying I’m good at it or that I’m even a good person. It doesn’t have to take much to listen - free of judgment, free of advice. Just listen. In our darkest places, sometimes it takes knowing there’s someone always there to reach out to so we can actually reach out. #beexcellenttoeachother ・・・ #tbt '93 when I worked at a suicide call centre. / I essentially have two emotional responses: smart-assery or emphatic contemplative paralysis. Let's just say the former wins out more than the latter, thank the gods. So if you're gonna get a staff Polaroid of yours truly, this is it. / This gig never had any closure. I would get calls from kids who said they downed pills or what-have-you, and I could hear them begin to fade. I would implore them to hang up and dial 9-1-1. I would repeat it, inform them (talk over them, pleading) I was hanging up so they could in turn make that emergency call, and then I would hang-up. I can still feel how heavy that phone felt as I put it down. *silence* / Every once in a blue moon, a voice will sound familiar and the echoes of those calls will ring from my memory. / I can still only hope they made that call. / #iwillneverbeaburlyman

Back in the dizay, if I wanted glasses that would fit my face, I would ask for "Asian-fit". 😂 Some outfits would literally have an "Asian fit-kit" with various nose pads. Otherwise, specs 🕶 would just rest on my cheeks and not my nose. So 'twas either the fit-kit or aviators. 😜 / These daze, the preferred nomenclature is the winsome and urbane "low-bridge" fit. 🎩👓#themoreyouknow🌈💫 #iwillneverbeaburlyman

Rehab continues. / Some limited ROM floor work. Slowly but surely. Patience. Pain-free ranges. / Channeling my inner @mikegbt & @ryhurst ❤️ / Apologies for the the taint angle. 😑 #reclaimthegoochgram

First floor work in several months. Nothing pretty, just work. / Crow-Pigeon-Shoulder Roll Transitions. / Pressing is slowly feeling stronger. Shoulder rolls are done über-gingerly and damn ugly-clunky. But am grateful I can attempt them once again. #iwillneverbeaburlyman #gmbfitness

Vacay. Luckily, my California slang accent sounds like Pidgin. That plus brown skin means I’m mistaken for a local. 🤙 #avuncularduties #godson / Side note: my shorts are a pretty close match to my skin, so I’m often mistaken for being nude. C’est la vie. #nevernude

If you can’t hold a position actively, you don’t own it: you’re merely on borrowed time. #controlyourself / Rehab continues. The (slow) progression from Curtsey Lunge to Dragon Squat is essentially a loaded externally rotated (varied) tibial position. / After slowly progressing Knee CARs, I started to slowly load the position. I didn’t force said externally rotated tibial position with the Lunge or Squat itself. I reversed engineered what you see in the vid: starting from an isometrically external rotated position and progressively planting the foot and loading (incrementally).

With honours. 👏🙌🎓💖❣️💓 / University bound. 🏫
