Things that make you go GRRRRR.... (Part 2)

Pro-life sickos PISS ME OFF.

I normally totally respect someone's right to their views but damn, when someone is arguing that I should be forced to have a baby against my will...yeah, hard to keep my 'rational calm debater' hat on.
 
Our population is at 7 billion. Anyone who is asking for babies against someone's will is just plain strange.
 
ninja suit, chloroform, artificial insemination gear. if male, add black van and clandestine sex change clinic. proceed.
 
it's not the parkour, it's the public environment. i enjoy the parkour itself, and the group is good, but as a learning environment at least this group is kinda poopy for someone like me, partially because i consider my own training to be something extremely private (i can learn to tune out outside influences though, but it's annoying) and because i learn better when i have constant supervision. i get by though, and it's really fun and a really good workout, so the pros outweight the cons, although i've had a couple of lackluster sessions.
 
I'd love to make it to the parkour meets I used to go to. But they're 2 hours drive away and since I'm no longer with grappler boy, I don't have a lift...

So yeah, at least you get to go...
 
Yep. I can still mess around by myself and do some moves when I'm around available walls or rails. I miss the sessions though...
 
I need to scout around for a park with pull up bar potential, the only one I've seen is right outside my gym (not ideal, plus it was in the local paper a few months ago as the number one drug dealing spot in Cambridge). If I was a proper ninjer I would have a rope ladder that I could throw over a low branch on the tree and use that for pull ups
 
i know the feeling. bah, you know how i get when i don't get regular human contact, and i generally get it from collective activities that i enjoy.
 
That's how I feel right now. Screw being sick and not being able to go to judo.

Or lift. Well, I can lift, but I almost passed out every time I came up out of a set of deadlifts. Dizziness + heavy weights = potential serious injury...
 
yup, it sucks. well, barring well-wishes, which equal moral support but don't speed up healing (you have them if you want them, though, FWIW), the only thing i could offer would be breathing tips for your hypotension, which might help with the dizziness (although i think i've explained power-breathing to you before, haven't i? seem to remember you'd found it unpleasant to do).
 
Good luck! Hope you find a suitable pace.

A alternative thing you could do, if you have the cash, is to buy a swing set. It can double as a chin up bar as well as a place to hang a heavy bag if you need too.
 
maybe you could use a folding ladder? (you'd need to find one with the right shape though, yo avoid bonking your head on it with each pull up rep)
 
No if you were a proper ninjer you would be able to effortlessly leap to the branches and do pull ups that way.
 
No can do. I live in a rooftop flat with not a lot of storage and no shed or garage or garden. There are a few beams outside that cover the outer stairwell but they don't look very robust tbh. If only there was an Ikea near me http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00041048
