Hey all, just checkin' in,
Attended the Hive online meetup, which was a great experience, and then afterward, I spun a pair of nunchaku I had made years before. Feels good
. I think it loosened up my lower back a bit. (I had slept wrong a few night ago and strained my lower back.) When I went down to deal with my storage bin back at the beginning of November, I was able to bring back a couple pairs I had made in college. I have two pairs I made out of Schedule 40 steel pipe and chains (combat chuks) and two made out of large pine dowel rods and rope (speed chuks). The ceiling is high enough in my place that I can spin my speed chucks and not hit anything. Still have yet to unpack the combat chuks, but should still be able to spin them. They make for a great upper body workout. I taught myself to spin nunchaku with the combat ones, so there were a few bumps and bruises 
. I'm looking forward to incorporating these into my workouts.

Hi all, just checkin' in
Did some deep stretching and testing of mobility this morning to identify where my lower back issues originated and found the problem area is more in my hips, to the right side of the base of the spine, right around the sacrum/sacroiliac joint. Did some repeated movements from cobra to child's pose and heard some pops down there, which may or may not be tendons, or may or not be just cuz my hips are slightly out of alignment (had a chiropractor tell me years ago that my right femur is sublexated). I was able to give myself some relief though. Back is all better, it's just the hip now.
Also noticed my neck is popping and crunching a lot. Same chiropractor also told me my neck is sublexated, so that's been fun. No pain though, just a lot of rice krispies.
Overall, I probably don't stretch enough or relieve stress enough, so things are probably just too tight.
