    I posted a rope climbing vid on Fagbook, took it after work so in jeans, shirt and beanie and pretty much the only comments I got were naysayers doubting it was me cos you can't really see my face.

    fluffybunnies.

    As if I'm the kind of creep who'd film others working out.

    Just had a look. To be fair that could have been anyone. It also appeared to cut out halfway through. Did you fall at that point and do a sneeky edit?

    I wouldn't know how. Just did another climb to silence any naysayers and chucked it on fagbook, got a bit caught near the top and had to cheat with legs briefly but ah well. 95% decent for the rest of it. DOMS flaring up like a mutha fucka as well!

    Joints a bit sore from one too many rope climbs on Saturdee. They can be tough on the CNS so I need to be careful of overdoing it.

    Also feeling pleasantly fucked after an hour or so jumping round with the boys at Jumparama. Awesome workout to be honest although oldest boy landed badly and hurt his ankle. I'm sure he'll be ok.

    Great being out there making it happen with the lads while other fat, douchebag Dads sat 'watching' their kids ( or should I say phones ).
    I don't live with my boys so maybe I feel I need to make an effort but I'd much rather run the risk of being active and potentially embarassing them than sitting on my ass being inactive.

    Chest workouts currently consist of a rotation of dips (weighted ), Diamond push ups, one armed push ups and clap push ups. Some nice variety there to keep thing interesting and getting some good numbers for a heavy 41 year old.

    60 chins ( not quite all in the one set ) at the park at lunch today and not in typical workout attire ( pants and shirt ) guns feeling sore already so I'm sure the DOMS will be flaring in no time.

    Hand grippers and rope climbing ensure that it's the muscles that crap out well before the grip does.

    "Chins" must be the new slang for blowjobs?

    60, close on your PB for a day?

    Yep, my jaw sure does ache.

    If you're into your chins you should give Murph a go:

    1 mile run, 100 pullups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 1 mile run.

    Was planning to do it on Friday but farking manflu might kneecap me.

    Is there an option where you don't have to run?

    Would that also be the option of you not having a cock and balls?

    I remember that abortion of a show. Nearly destroyed my marriage. Any torture is worse than having to sit through 5 minutes of that.

    Bump.........

    Well the Pilates has unfortunately gone the way of the relationship.......Tinder and Bumble have been very kind to me but those stories are for the other thread.

    Fucken women.

    Flexibility has regressed but in terms of good power moves and party tricks to impress my sons and any prospective ladies out there I'm up there with the very best....

    this is always a goody....

    Yes I can actually do these, not as pretty as this guys but I still get some quality airtime. Pretty good for 98kg.

    I'm still working the dips, chins, rope climbs, tyre flips and I've started a few park sprints which are good to keep the legs in check.

    Hill walks are also a staple part of the cardio routine, fuck going on a run any longer than 100 metres like the rest of you sick fucks.

    As I touched on on @Hooroo s thread the intermittent fasting is working wonders. I'm sitting in the home office typing this and looking forward to my first feed at 12ish ( four poached eggs on toast ) and on my third black coffee. I do get it isn't an eating plan for everyone but it is one that agrees with my lifestyle provided I stop eating/drinking by about 8-30ish ( I give myself a bit of leeway over the weekend obviously )

    I'm 42 next month and as each year passes I'm reminded of the importance of good habits and keeping the rig in fighting fit, functional shape. My old man ( just turned 75 ) still swims SIX days a week ! ( 72 year old Mum only does, four, so lazy ). As none of my grandparents made it to 80 my folks are bucking the trend like a motherfucker and are a great example for me and the grandkids.

    People who love running and craft beer seem to be a a pretty happy mix, I have a couple of crafties with them most weeks after the run ( when I say run it's them who run, I just meet them at the pub and save a spot for them ).

    They'll never get me out there much as they try.

    I'm keeping a journal with what I'm doing and any physical goals that I've conquered which is always motivational.

    I'll also try and update this thread more often when not fucking round on other fern related topics.

    Struck down midweek with a spew bug but 14 hours sleep and no food ensured I got over that reasonably quickly.

    I've also got into the discipline of having an intense but relatively short and extremely picturesque walk in the hills each morning, best time of year to do this in my opinion.

    Rope climbs dips and furniture removal ( with the inspirational old man at the other end of the couches ) completed the weeks fitness based activites.

    Been a few months since I've done tire flips but I did some of those and the DOMs is raring up like a mutha fucka. I love them. I wish I had a tire for my backyard !

    Also here is some grainy footage of me trying to be Superman. Please ignore the complete lack of workout clothes.

    EDIT.....and the video didn't even download. FML
