Trouble is trying not to mix the conversations up. Farking very nearly did.
Been there did that. Not ideal. Trick is to always be pretty damn honest within reason.
I think my advantage is that I'm being totally honest and upfront from the get go. Widower, 2 sons, looking for serious partner. Like gym and exercising. That seems to have filtered out a shit load.

Monday: Got very little sleep for reasons stated above but decent leg day.
Tuesday: Nice shoulders day. Actually was on cloud 9. Had a coffee with a friend who I hadn't seen in 20 years and have a date this Saturday. And then the school called to say my eldest is suspended for 3 days for fighting. He'd been messaging a girl. Her "boyfriend" found out and him and his little gang started abusing him. My son told him repeatedly to leave him alone then gave him multiple warnings. He then snapped and smacked him one. He gets 3 days suspension, the other kid gets zero. While I tend to lose my shit on TSF, in this case I was as calm as a cucumber with the school trying to explain the extenuating circumstances (son had found some old pictures of his mum the night before and had been up half the night crying about it). The official report clearly says that he was getting abused and that he gave repeated warnings. Yet they wouldn't budge. Their "concession" was an internal suspension at school rather than him going home. Like that makes any difference. Still goes on his permanent record. I suggested a compromise: a week of detention and probation. No that was just impossible. Spoke to principal who was the biggest cnut I've ever had the displeasure of talking to. Have asked a lawyer buddy to take a look at this and am considering contacting the media. I've given the school an ultimatum that I will pursue other avenues of they don't get their heads out of their arses. Fark me sideways.

Any shirtless selfies on the tinder page bro?
Chicks love that.
My oldest is too afraid to retaliate for a similar reason to above. He got in trouble for smacking a kid who threatened my youngest on his first day of school. It's so tough for kids these days, my ex tells him to tell a teacher if theres trouble but she's obviously never been a boy at school. No one wants to be a nark but he also doesn't want to get in trouble for scrapping.....

This wasn't an isolated thing. This kid has form. As you say, he tells teachers, he cops it more because these little shits know they have immunity. They want to have a safe and tolerant school environment yet punish the kids who stand up to precisely the kids causing all the problems. It makes zero sense.

My sons wanted me to, but I'm looking for a partner not DTF. I'm consolidating right now. Have two dates lined up.
BTW for some weird reason I liked a 5 foot 2 Scottish crossfitter with two kids. She messaged me straight away. Your thoughts on that one?

I'd need to see photos. Preferably nudes. She's Scottish so she'll be batshit crazy.
Even for a woman.

I'm honestly rather scared. I think she'd rip my cock off then leave me for dead.

@rancid-schnitzel kind of like a sexual burpee
Give it a hoon bro, nothing to lose (except your cock) and at worst it's a tick in the cardio box. ahem.

Chest and biceps. This day is getting to be too much of a rush job and that's not on. Might have to swap around. Technically my favourite day but by the time I get to biceps I'm racing against the clock. Still, better than nothing and the pump was rather good.

What do you do for biceps?

What do you do for biceps?
Standing barbell curls
Dumbbell curls (hammer grip then curl) heavy
Piston curls (arm hanging down then swing up)
21sIt's a bloody good little routine but am rushing it too much. If I do that properly, no subsequent arm tickle required.

I personally prefer deads, pull/chin ups and my current flavour of the month the good old rope climbs. Good compound movements and all that sort of stuff. I hadn't picked up a barbell in years and was still able to curl more with better form than I had in years gone by when I did them heaps.
-
As with a lot of training guff I reckon a mix of compound and accessory stuff works well. I got as much arm growth and strength from getting into overhead lifts and squats as I did when we were doing more arm targeted stuff. But much prefer the mixed approach - as you get the benefit of all the other stuff with bigger, functional movements. But topping that off with curls puts that icing on the cake

I had to Google what they are. Might give them a hoon if I can find some dumbbells
-
Back and triceps. Having time makes a difference. Hammered it. I love it when I'm so farked that last set is real bitch.
-
10 laps oval, 5 with pullups and leg ups in between. Went bloody well actually.
Date also went exceptionally well. Christ I was nervous. First time in years I haven't been able to eat breakfast. Fingers crossed.
Spent the rest of the day as some kind of pack muel and bank at kids' fete. The morning was better.

Yeah pretty bloody good Sunday
Still really weird, and mind and body are being shocked to the core by this Niagara farking Falls of feelings that have been surpressed for almost 5 years. Impossible to describe. Anyway she trains 7-8 times a week so I'll have to up my game!Legs today. Good session. Warming up all the time now with ab superset. That's leg raises front chin up bar then on dip section. Works the abs better than anything I've ever done. You have to feel that burn and you definitely feel it with that.
