I'm not sure where you're living exactly, but you should honestly check out the concept of Earthing or Grounding. I got a grounding kit a few weeks ago, and it does WONDERS for repairing sports or other injuries. We basically are biologically meant to be in contact, bare skin, with the surface of the earth. Rubber shoes and all that shit removes and doesn't allow our bodies to do that.
There is a lot of science out there in the last few years on the concept of grounding for many people, but athletes and people that need to recover quicker. The kit I bought was 190$ I think, but it was well worth it. I sleep good using it and it adds a lot of great things to our bodies that we've been missing.
The site is earthing.com and I have no affiliation to it, but I do think you should do some research on the concept!

On the workout front, I recently got back to the gym even once every few months. Since my kid was born years ago, I haven't gotten to go basically at all but now that he's older, I take him to a rock climbing gym and we have fun there. At the gyms though, they have actual gym equipment and I've been loving it! I did my first set of power cleans (I think that's what they're called.. don't know if that was ever right but that's what I've called them lol) and damn did it feel good! I started low and slow with 10 pounds on the bar, but it felt good to get the form back and my body felt great the next day. Hopefully I can get back into the gym soon, I miss it dearly!
Thanks dude!
I actually got a grounding kit a few years ago... at first I struggled being attached to something while I slept, I move around a bit and kept getting tangled, but eventually I got used to it. I personally didn't feel like it made any difference to me, I stopped and actually only recently threw out the kits and book when I moved - I'm glad it's working for you though, that's awesome!!!
The person who recommended it to me initially seemed to love it too so its a bummer it didn't work out for me.
Are power cleans when you get the barbell off the floor and pull it up to your shoulders? Those are awesome. My new communal gym doesn't have any barbells, but its got a ton of dumbbells and kettlebells, so I could probably do a variation of those... that's awesome. Glad your kid is enjoying bouldering, that's very awesome. A new bouldering gym will be opening within walking distance of me in a month or two so I'm excited to check it out when it opens.
