Today as part of my core day I did a few dragon flags, a movement I had not done in quite awhile. Ever since I popped my right ear I have avoided top tier strain exercises like skin the cat, dead lifts, and dragon flags. The ringing in my ear has now been gone for 2-3 weeks so I figured I would give one of those tougher movements a try. My desire to be conservative and my lower overall strength level kept the numbers very low, only doing three sets of three. The good news is I emerged from the sets without any noticeable relapse of ear issues.
In between sets I decided to grab the gym’s hand held body fat analyzer. After entering in my base information like height, age, and weight I grabbed both handles while it sent a small current through my body. The body fat percentage number it spit out was 11.8% which puts me on the high end of the “athlete” range, good enough for me.
For what seems like the first time this week nobody at the gym did something overly annoying or inconsiderate.
