Starting to be a bit more active at our local gym (I have weights at home, but no squat rack). Happy to say after a couple weeks I'm back up to squatting over my body weight (I'm currently 208lbs; did 225lbs x2 Saturday).
Still going to take a lot of work to get back where I used to be, but this is promising! My form needs a bit of work too (didn't get quite parallel, but I was close).
Also excuse the weird angle, I just had my phone resting on a nearby piece of equipment.
Why #StrengthTraining May Be the Key to #Longevity
#Strength training, also known as #resistancetraining, involves #exercises that use #resistance, such as #weights or #resistancebands, to #buildmuscle and #strengthen #bones.

Season 9 Episode 14 "Boys Will Be Boys"

An addendum: at Staunton, a young woman was running back and forth along the stretch of trail we were on. She passed us a couple of times in each direction, giving us a cheerful smile each time. At a guess, she was timing herself, maybe race training. Good steady #5k or #10k pace.
Each time, we smiled and waved back, and I felt a ferocious envy. #Running is the only exercise I've ever enjoyed for its own sake. #Weights and #martialarts were means to an end—get stronger, fight better. #PT and #roadmarching were not to get yelled at. But running was a gateway to a better world.
Never again. My leg won't take it. These days, the only world to which it would be a gateway would be the emergency department, maybe followed by the operating suite. While I miss the #ER too, for quite different reasons, I'm not in a hurry to get back to it ... like that.
Of course I enjoy #hiking for its own sake as well, but I don't think of it as exercise. It's the best kind of #medicine. Losing my gut would be a bonus, though.
1️⃣ Form First, and Weights Second 2️⃣
Understanding the principle of “form first, weight second” is essential for every beginner lifter because it sets the foundation for long-term success in the gym.

#statstab #367 Matching in R: Propensity Scores, Weighting (IPTW) and the Double Robust Estimator
Thoughts: A guide on common adjustments for observational studies.

In the last part of this series about Matching estimators in R, we'll look at Propensity Scores as a way to solve covariate imbalance while handling the curse of dimensionality, and to how implement a Propensity Score estimator using the `twang` package in R. We'll also explore the importance of common support, the inverse probability weighting estimator (IPTW) and the double robust estimator, which combines a regression specification with a matching-based model in order to obtain a good estimate even when there is something wrong with one of the two underlying models.
#weights & #walking rehab continues.
#running awaits. 🤞
So does summer. 🌥️
Still, the walk got "It's in the Signs" principle videography for Skeppsholmen in the can. Will call that a win.
See you out there!
