Did you ever formally train as a gymnast or did you teach yourself all the cool tricks?

No, I did not, but thank you anyway.

I pick stuff I suck at and try to get better at it.

Rope jumping, TGUs, the hand balances, the bar stuff, etc.

I even consider dancing at some time in the future.

That reminds me to practice the firefly a bit more:

The legs should be straight actually and I need a slope to achieve that anyway.

That is cool. My one nephew does that every time he gets up from a sit, then swings his leg around to “dismount” the chair. More stuff I’m missing out on.

That’s a surprising ab burner, but I wouldn’t dare to pick up that rock.

It is funny about that rock. It used to be a ball breaker I used to pick and carry back when I was big. A few years ago one of the kids pried the lid off the well, and I decided that was bad, and rolled/pried the thing on top of the well to keep the kids out. I picked it up yesterday and it wasn’t that bad. Either I have my rocks mixed up, or that last 531 sequence did me some good.

^^^That sounds like some well earned success to me. My kids are not that strong (yet) - kettlebells would be enough here.

2013-11-06 Wed.: Swim

Was away during the day and had the possibility to go swimming after work - very much appreciated. Push/ pull tomorrow.

Tried my first protein shake after maybe 10 years or so. Grabbed one on the go, out of curiosity: Bleuarrrgh! Artificially disgusting. Cottage cheese, whole milk, eggs, tuna, ricotta, curd cheese, meat, here I come, I will never betray you again, ever!

I lack a fridge at work and haven’t figured out a low sodium alternative to protein shakes. I agree on the taste!

^^^that’s a challenge, but atm it’s cold enough for cooling stuff on the windowsill (maybe)
