315

just screwing around

Squatting three fifteen

Gravity can be so mean

It's doesn't love you 

It wants to to crush you

Leg training is obscene

As is all exercise, IMHO, BR. (Hint: you've got an extra "to" in line 4 of your tanka.) This is a well written tanka which many of us will be able to relate to. Exercise is a plot by the AMA to generate more business for osteopaths and orthopedic doctors.

[Baby Ricochet]

Lol! It's not a tanka. Thank you for reading Joyce. I appreciate you stopping by

for some reason I'm imagining Suzanne Somers and thigh master.

Leg training is obscene ? I would say a great many men have been trained by legs - women's especially. :)

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Ah, how we adore when you SCREW around, well done!

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Thomas

I love leg training
mine aren't very long so it's easy for me

[Baby Ricochet]

I'm 6'2 and hate leg training. It's not my strong suit. I've hit a plateau at 315 for 8-10 reps on box squats and won't go up because I'm afraid of injuring my back. I pulled my right ham string a while back dead lifting 495 and ever since then I've been wary of stupid heavy Olympic moves. I don't dead lift any more either. I switched to Romanian (straight leg) dead lifting with light weight.

i max out around two hundred, my coach's goal this year for me is 205 by the time state powerlifting comes around. I think I got it.

there are certain parts of my body that obey gravity more than I care to mention....

[Baby Ricochet]

Now that's funny.

[nigrum homonculus]

ah legs day, the bane of my existence. my max squat is 175, not on your level yet but i swear to god everytime after that i feel crippled. nice poem ricochet, enjoyed the read

[Baby Ricochet]

Leg training is brutal

[Commanda Panda]

I, for one, can relate to the hell that is called squats. Can't say I've done 315, but I know of the burning rubbery feeling you have after lifting. Nice short read. Witty as always. Love your versitility.

[Baby Ricochet]

I Thank you cp
