Have you considered rowing? Nice, low impact rowing?

i do the ol' concept 2 maybe once a week.  but it doesn't go far enough toward my triathlon dreams.

If you can't lift it unaided it don't count. 

That's ridiculous!

If I'm doing exercises that would help me grip the weights or squeeze out a few more reps (good reps too btw), i.e.: shoulder shrugs, hanging leg raises, etc.  then I'm going ot use them.  The MAIN reason though is ..safety!!  I've seen too many dipshits drop weights!   



BTW..nice sweater!  Is that your daughter standing next to you?

went out to run, got about 2 miles in before the knee got ornery. 
let's count, shall we?

Oh come on, I run:










Anyway, unfortunately I took the last few days off. But today got back into it. Did a few sets of situps then pushups, then spent 20 mins (low speed) 1.6 miles on the eliptical, 10mins forward, 10mins backwards. After that hopped on the treadmill and ran for another 10mins 0.8 miles. I started on the eliptical to get some good low/no impact for the knee, but it doesn't feel the same as running. Since I don't do my Physical Fitness Assessments on the eliptical, I need to work up a little more towards running.

But, I am down about 5 pounds since last week. That is probably mostly due to diet. I have been eating less for lunch and stacking healthier (fresh broccoli florettes and sliced peppers)....

No problems holding the weight.  Like I said..safety!  20-30 reps on shrug days..I'm going to protect my feet and those of others just in case!

I got a bottle of tequila says you can't do 10 muscle ups straight by February. You're too old.



The gauntlet has been thrown down.

*GASP*

gasp indeed!  i'll be impressed.

Ok, so what's a muscle up?  I've not heard that term before.

I've been working on upper body, tricep pushups, regular pushups, curls, shoulder presses etc.  I've also been stretching extensively.  If you're flexible, it hurts a lot less when you throw down a bike or motorcycle ~

meh..can't swing a cat around here without hitting a bottle of tequila...but one more can't hurt right?

(But can I have until the 22nd?  Then I'll be even older).

hey wait....didn't you just sing the praises of a BMW GS, someoldguy?
