Hah! No, tight foreskin that I'd been ignoring for my entire adult life. Still out of "action" for another 2 weeks or so. Going away with the missus for the anniversary this weekend.

Have you ever been to a therapist?blindcider wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 2:40 pmLast weekend did a marathon in a prison. 78 laps, 624 flights of stairs, tight turns and narrow corridors past the cells in two cell blocks. Glutes and quads were done after basically 6 hours of interval training. the marathon is at least 90 minutes slower than a flat road one at the front of the race. Was hilarious fun and far less boring than your typical marathon.

It’s amazing what they can do with micro surgery these days - how does a foreskin get tight anyways ? Lack of use ?
Nolanator wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 12:19 am Ah it had given me issues over the years, but I'd ignored it. Nearly had my banjo ripped years ago. One long term GF clearly knew what she was doing, as there were never any issues. Another ex definitely didn't, in hindsight. Think it's gotten a bit worse over the years.
It actually got a bit cut there a few months ago so I thought I should probably get it checked out.
It shouldn't hurt for days after riding and feel like your foreskin nearly splits open. Bit is a clue!
Currently I can't ride, can't wank, can't gym. Boo-urns.
Shouldn’t hurt unless you have a gf who likes pain - I did have one who feckin loved pain and begged for all kinds of weird shit, actually wanted me to punch her during sex

I dunno what to say ... if you're born with a log that is too big to fit in the bag ... what else can you do? Gotta count your blessings.
Never bothered me in the slightest though ... I think chicks actually prefer it. It's a bit weird here in Sweden though where almost nobody barring religious extremists are circumcised.
How’s the Dom’sNolanator wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 7:22 pm Caught a mild dose of the Rona off my GF there last week. Managed to do a leg session in my garage yesterday. First back squats since July. I was very shaky afterwards, went completely grey. The increased blood pressure with congested sinuses was "interesting".
Survived, and got an upper body session under my belt today. Feels good to get the muscles pumped, get the heart going, and just move around a bit after lazing around the house all day. Takrs a while to get myself together afterwards.
Reckon my CV stamina is dreadful now, though. Breathing fairly heavily considering the effort levels.
A 5k would probably knock me out.
The problem might be deadlifting at that intensity 2 weeks in a row. How long have you been working with your coach?Newportblue88 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 11:56 pm My coach/ bloke off the internet who writes my program has lowered my volume over the last few weeks. I’m not enjoying it particularly. Everything feels off. Although work and life stress is pretty high now. As I’m sure it is with everyone to be fair.
Went for a new deadlift 3rm last night and failed spectacularly. Only got 1 rep. It was only 5kg up on last week to.
Hoping things starting ramping up again soon.
Oh yeah, I did 25min cardio on the stair-walker before-hand.
