I think it was tied to an incorrect setting in the contributor groups that goes all the way back to the fact that this forum is over 20 years old. There’s a lot of weird stuff. You must have been in that group. The reactions were always meant to be anonymous and have always been anonymous for 99% of members. I also saw who liked what, maybe the group was bigger than 1% Any way to bring that back @Cannon? Maybe as optional on/off feature in settings? I doubt it’s hard to implement and as others, I think it made community feel more close and genuine than without it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared P Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Agreed, I actually really enjoyed that aspect of the forum, and honestly thought everyone could see reactions - as I had that ability since day one. It sounds like a good 50%+ of people could see who reacted, previously. Either way, I support however Cannon decides to run the forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonjoseph Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 I'm glad things are up and running, @Cannon is a gem. Still hurting a bit, but was able to do this "JH" grade 8 1/4"x6" bolt Ostlund style with some effort. I like this way, it's fun. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashmonster268 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Excellent Ostlund bend! I commented on the video already elsewhere, but had to say it again. Cannon is pretty awesome. I still can't see who liked posts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonjoseph Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 Unfortunately I have had an accident at work. It was 3 days ago. I'm trying my best to get better. It's very hard to explain how exactly it happened. I don't think I can exactly put it into words. I heard a loud tearing noise coming from my wrist. Sounded like someone tearing paper. I have no bruising, which is good. I have full range of motion with my fingers and wrist, which is also good. we will know more later, but it looks like I am going to have to take more time off I am keeping high spirits, and doing contrast baths. Also visualization while doing them. Extremely light exercises too, with the goal of getting blood flow to the area. I'm trying to take action early on. I am unsure of what the future holds, but I think I will be better in a month or two, who knows. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will come back and come back even stronger. I had something similar happen to my thumb years ago. A very loud audible POP. No loss of ROM and no bruising is good. Just take it one day at at time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I partially tore different muscles in the past, and I always "heard it" inside, it's like what you described. If there is no bruising, it's a very good sign (if it's a small muscle tear and not something else). It heals surprisingly fast. Just don't go full animal the first day there is no pain anymore. I hope there will be no issues with doing your day job, and it will heal soon. Edited December 11, 2023 by matek 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonjoseph Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 My hand is mostly healed but radial and ulnar deviation still haven't. So unbraced bending is still off the table. I have gotten into snapping though, and I did some intense stuff at work. I wasn't concerned about speed or time, mostly form. Because of that they were slow, but I feel I learned a lot. 2x 1/4"x6" grade 5 1x 1/4"x6" grade 8 1x red nail. I'm going to do snapping and leg crush as my "bending" training for now. It's a lot of fun, and very humbling. I haven't snapped anything since the bending championship. I still have a lot of trouble uploading photos, which bums me out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonjoseph Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Did some easy stuff today 65lbs 5x5 armassassin inch pinch 100lbs 2x10 one arm snatch, last set recorded. Also saw this gold nail snap from Stan Tomajko. Since I have been getting into snapping, I've been binging videos for ideas and form. This video was originally private, and I had to ask Stan to reupload it. It's the best snap I have ever seen to be honest. The 0 leg padding and unconventional style surprised me and had me really hyped up. I'll try to start snapping this way, it's awe inspiring. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonjoseph Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Been a bit busy lately, but I've gotten some stuff done. Did a 5.5"x5/16" Hex CRS in double leathers. Took ~5 minutes. I'd post the picture, but it seems I don't have that option still with chrome browser on my android phone. This was a really big victory for me though. Also did some reverse bends today, my hand is healing but I have lost a lot of strength. I lost strength in reverse and heslep, but DU is still off the table. Did 10x60D reverse to crush Then 1x 1/4"x7" FBBC square. All in loose suede. I'm feeling really encouraged right now, I think I'm gonna stick to DO, reverse, and snapping. I still wanna get better at braced and snapping. I'll likely prioritize the DO because of the contest Alex has, I wanna be ready for that and I wanna do well. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonjoseph Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Band bloodflow yesterday 30x10 Riser Pronation Supination Side pressure Back pressure Then bends today Double leathers 6"x5/16" triangle edgin Single loose leathers 5"x1/4" hex FBBC crs 4.5"x1/4" hex FBBC crs The last one took a Herculean effort of 4 minutes. I stopped filming after 3, and only got 30°. By then, I got a nasty cut, and still powered through for one final attempt past 40°. great training. I will be ok, I just need a lot of rest. I have the pictures posted on Instagram, hopefully @Blacksmith513 can post them for me again. I'd rather have this issue fixed than ask him to post my pictures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
