This is such important work, and the thing to keep in mind is that when AI people tell you that games will be personalized for you, this is the kind of thing they are more likely to mean.

Throwback to May when buddies and I got to pull the big girl. Hope my injuries heal fast enough for next time 🙏
Foto of me getting ready to pull a C54 Skymaster during a strongman thing. Plane is photographed head on with me standing in front of it, holding the rope leading to the the out of frame car. My buddy is sitting behind me on the floor controlling the rope. Three bystanders in safety vests look on. Beautiful late spring sky.

First real training in the gym since spinal-discisn't. Ton of rehab specific stuff and then some moderate upper body work while watching that I don't load or compress my back more than absolutely necessary. Gonna take some time.

i completed 52 games and 8 pieces of downloadable content in 2017.

Sure thing. Nice abt forearm muscles is they recover fast so you can hit em every other day without a big impact to your recovery. Tendons and joints are a diff story tho. So best is to warm up, very slow weight increase and slow reps plus some simple mobility/stretching every now and then.

David "Didi" Satzinger @didisatzinger.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026
Probably should mention I like to do more hammer and reverse curls than regular curls which certainly helps developing the brachioradialis.

David "Didi" Satzinger @didisatzinger.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026
But I like to think I have better than average grip when it comes to stones, farmers and ropes. Don't recommend to do 4 times a week forearm blasting though. Most people get enough out of regular workouts and one or two forearm things thrown into it. I just enjoy doing it and am "unstructured".

David "Didi" Satzinger @didisatzinger.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026
On off days I will sometimes just do some stuff to get blood pumping. Gada training, squeezing grippers/silicone grip trainers, finger extensions, fingertip holds with low weight. Though my overall grip strength is very average and even kinda weak in some fields. It is mostly a lot of hypertrophy.
110
David "Didi" Satzinger @didisatzinger.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026
My regular training has a lot of holds and active grip stress (tons of specialised back work) so I don't go very heavy or do a lot of sets. A lot of it is armwrestling and climbing inspired because I have had issues with golfers arm and cobbled something together from these two sports.

David "Didi" Satzinger @didisatzinger.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026
...pronation while a weight hangs on a band that forces my arm into supination. Second day is active stuff like all forms of wrist curls and extensions, finger curls, pro- & supination, tilting a loadable dumbell where only one side has plates on it. It's a bit a "whatever I feel like" day.

David "Didi" Satzinger @didisatzinger.eurosky.social · 17/09/2026
When I am not in spine town I train 4 times a week and do forearms at the end of each session, usually 2-4 exercises. This is split in 2 days. One day is static (deadhangs, pinch grip plate holds, behind the back or rope holds and hangs, a sort of static hammer curl hold where I stay in...

Ufff, it is not my first time having a slipped spinal disc but the last times have been forever ago and I do have forgotten just how incredibly annoying it is. The pain is one thing and on the best of noninjured days I am not at a 0 anyhow but just the lack of mobility gnaws on my nerves.
