I spent all day yesterday with a pole saw, a chainsaw and a big tree chippper. We cleared a veritable jungle along and over a road, allowing the plow trucks to clear it this winter  without knocking a mirror off or hitting overhead.  No wonder why at 62 I still look 40.  That's why I took this job. Hated managing millennials. Hated paperwork. Hated being stuck in an office half the day. And I like to get paid to work out. Great "retirement" gig. LOL

Is it really a garage if there aren't dents and cracks in the wall?

Update:  I took a 13 mile bike ride this evening;  it would have been longer but I started late and a trail I like closes at sundown.

This morning, biked 30 miles, including up yet another "I haven't successfully climbed this one before" hills.

This afternoon (after work, before after-work plans) I was going to do some lifting, but ran short on time and did 'only' bench press (plan was squats, I had to skip one of the two due to time, figured biking was more similar to squats... this might or might not have been the right decision).  Did 3x5x135 lbs, tying a personal best from an era where I was at the gym every other day for eight months.  So that's pretty cool.  :-)

Motion is Lotion 

Did a new one yesterday. I did all my stretching in the whirlpool. It was great ! I am going to continue that. The hot water keeps the muscles nice and lose. I can bike over to the Y, do the stretches, swim my laps, and play water basketball

About my only workout anymore is to ride my bicycle 4-7 times a week, anywhere from 10-25 miles per event.  With 2 replaced knees, a fused neck, fused toe, and other maladies of a senior, golf and biking are about my only 2 exercises anymore.

My mother was a physical therapist who specialized in pool therapy. It is very effective, especially the warm pool. I went there after I had shoulder surgery to help loosen the area to get my flexibility back.

Yesterday's exercising:  about 7 miles of walking (half of that to/from grocery store in morning, other half as an evening wind-down).  Mid-afternoon I moved an older TV into the garage so I could watch the Rattlers game while working out.  I've never done barbell to football before, but I did 3x8x80 press, 8x185 deadlift, then 2x and 6x 205.  I don't know why I stopped after two on that one;  I might up the weight slightly next deadlift session.

Nothing like adding exercise to chores. It brings us back to the hunter-gatherer days when we did not call it exercise we called it survival.  Lifting weights while watching football sounds like a good way of relieving aggression as long as you don't get the urge to throw the weight at the TV

Short 11.5 miles on the bicycle this morning.  Cool morning, but the smoke wasn't as bad as it has been.

      Boulder / Denver Colorado Course Recommendations?

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!

      Yeah. I'm not sure what Vishal is really talking about with the "constrained" COM. The club's COM doesn't really change much. Less than the body's does… We definitely apply force to the golf club to move it both translationally (linear force) and rotationally (torque) to the golf club. That's what Manzella's alpha/beta/gamma is all about. Even before they switched the reference frame from the global to the club-based one. 😉

      Any time you apply a force to an object that is not directly through the COM, you're applying a torque. Take a car for example. If a car is moving and you hit the brakes, the only contact point is on the ground. The brakes make the tires slow down which applies a force backwards at ground level. Since that force is not applied directly to the COM, it also applies a torque, which makes the car rotate forwards. The suspension at the front applies another torque upwards to fight against that twist (because the ground is in the way). You can feel the front end of the car dip when you brake. Then, when you stop braking and that force is no longer applied, the tires stop applying that torque to the car and the car feels like it rocks backwards as the suspension evens itself out. That's all torques being applied. Ignoring the twist forces applied to the club leaves you way short of being able to describe the motion. Otherwise the orientation of the club would never change.

      I think you're getting into the coupling point or the couple of the hands, but that's a different ball of wax.
