Going Down Fighting!

Walking a shitload still, seems to be tons of people about walking now, all the time. A few weeks back when all this mess kicked off, my morning walks before work around 5:30am were eerie, roads were dead quiet and not a soul out walking.
Anyhow,

Replaced the cables on my cable thingo the other day and gave her some grease, Soo much smoother now! Didn’t have to line up at old Bunnings luckily, it was dead
The old cables had bits missing on the casing, made it clunk and rough.

Apparently the nation may come out of this healthier than ever for all the boredom exercise people are doing. But what about the loss of gains from all the cardio…

What kind of cable set up you got? Is it part of the rack or some DIY action?

I reckon people will come out of this healthier. At least the dogs are getting a good outing.
Cable setup is a simple standalone high and low pulley setup, bought it for 60 bucks a while back.

Got my TV back in the garage connected to the laptop and home theatre setup, making for a much better time doing weights😁 It has been in the bedroom for a couple of weeks as that tv got moved to the lounge because our main TV shit itself (again). That one got lobbed in the electronic recycling bin at Bunnings (getting sick of chucking TV,s out!)
So, being sick of spending a fortune on TV’s, I scored a 60" from Gumtree, offered 100 bucks because the side HDMI port doesn’t work, the thing has a better pic than the $3k 3D rig it replaced!

Haha, nup, usually concerts and the like, sometimes some 4x4 vids or something depending on my mood. Usually Metallica, Disturbed, Wintersun, Pantera, Killswitch, Korn, Offspring, Grrenday are my go to!
I’ve played this a bit lately while in the garage

This came on today with Auto Play after something had finished, needless to say I was a little distracted :open_mouth: Nothin like a bit of 90’s Hip Hop :smiley:

Didn’t realize you reactivated the log (I’m never looking outside the ā€œsuggested topicā€ option at the bottom, which shows me the count of new entries in the threads I’m already following). Well good to see you posting on here again, will be following!

Thanks mate, I’ve been slack the last couple of days, haven’t lifted. Am feeling thrashed from moving soil, sleepers and a big ass pot around out in the backyard, oh and from garden center to my Jeep, then from the driveway all the way to the backyard! Hams, back and shoulders are feeling it! Plus the digging and other shit, feeling cooked :smiley:

Alrighty, feeling much better, not thrashed anymore, asthma has cleared up a bit and I’ve actually slept quite well the last couple of nights which makes a huge difference, all of last week I slept like shit, waking after an hour or so, and constantly all night, grrr!

Will return to lifting again tomorrow with a new old man plan! Similar to what I’ve been doing but cycling the heavy days as I reckon consecutive heavy days is what’s been killing me, so it’ll look something like this. I know, too much fluff, however I am actually looking like I lift, wife and son have made comments which is bloody good :smiley:and even at my strongest I still never looked like I lifted.

Bloody pity I haven’t been able to go away these holidays, was hoping to do Googs Track or Gawler Ranges.

Light days are good gains too. I do too many heavy days according to my training app. The dip in readiness isn’t quite worth the stimulus.

Beautiful vehicle also. I’ll swap u like 500kg in weight plates for it

Yep, alternating heavy and light days is something I should have done a while ago, hopefully this works out, haha.
Yep the car is a ripper, air con seats are the best shit in the world. I traded in the old Jeep a couple of months ago, looked for ages deciding on what to get next, was nearly sold on a Ranger, but went with the Jeep again, ya get so much car for pretty decent cash. This one is the 3.0 turbo diesel, much better on fuel than the old V8 Grand Cherokee I had, although doesn’t sound as good :smiley:
They cop a bit of a bashing here in Oz, but my last one copped a flogging and took me all over the place with only minimal shit breaking (usually from deep mud and my own stupidity), however cost a fortune in fuel!
