It’s gets easier mate as they get a little older, think it was around 4 months that the routine really settled in for us so it’s easier to predict when you will get a bit of spare time.
But you have 2 so maybe you are fucked lol

Haha I keep hearing 4-6 months, and I have no doubt it’ll settle down, but this gave me an outright laugh haha
You should check out Alan thralls new videos then
Also means you could win in a fight. Don’t know don’t know if Janae would be up for that though.

Yeah I don’t know if the same rules apply to twins!
Our boy used to have his morning feed at 6am and then sleep again until 8am, which although it sucked training in the morning at least it guaranteed me a guilt free couple of hours while my wife and baby slept.
I confess that I still remember when calisthenics meant push ups and sit ups, and as a result I get confused when people are curious about how they can possibly work calisthenics into a weight training program.

Have 2, can confirm.
Yep.
You get to train still, as long as you don’t like sleeping. If you want to train and sleep, you’re shit out of luck

Mine are older and I can predict when they will sleep but it’s usually at the end of a day involving trying to explain to them for the 50th time why they can’t chase the dog around with a broom until it’s cornered then start pulling on it’s tail*. Then dealing with the explosion that happens after taking the broom off them.
Having to spend close to an hour getting a tiny bit of food into them and a lot of food everywhere else.
Then there’s the running around. The non stop chasing, climbing whatever other acrobatics they decide is fun. It’s non stop, literally non stop. How these fuckers dont get tired until they crash and burn is beyond me. I suppose you could just not get involved but they friggin peer pressure you lol
My little guys also did me the pleasure of dropping any day time naps before 2.
Sometimes people ask me how I can have the will to train in the morning but honestly, I could not muster up any level of energy or motivation to train in the evening. I have no idea how others manage to.
*God bless dogs, how they hold such patience with us is a miracle

I’m far too selfish to even consider having kids right now (not that any women are lining up for the opportunity #Beta)

I had a girl first and she’s way more mellow than boys. My boy doesn’t know any better so he’s kind of chill too. His favorite thing to do is push an airplane back and forth like he’s pushing a prowler. I’m tempted to start adding weight.

I’m trying to lose weight so I track my food every day. I had 400 calories left after dinner tonight. I’m hungry but my wife brought home some beer. I had to choose between eating or drinking beer. I can’t do both. I chose beer.
I think I made the right decision.

I like that when people talk about tracking apps and falling short on macros or calories they will suggest eating rice cakes or chicken or carrying it over into the next day or twhat not.
If I am short on macros/calories then let me tell you… it is on. If I met my protein needs and there is fats and carbs left over, then the party begins lol

Yes! I actually broke my plateau by eating more a few weeks ago. I’d been considering those leftover calories a bonus. I think I actually slowed my metabolism down with that approach.
I started eating all of my calories and finished my days with a bowl of oatmeal as an evening snack. Carbs before bed isn’t such a bad thing.
I confess that I have no idea why I want these, but I want them
The standard plate ones would be especially dumb, since I don’t own any of those.
I feel like Ironmind knows that I’m a sucker.

I feel like the real ticket to success with these types of handles are these plates:

What the hell kinda bumpers are these? I remember when they first came out and people thought we made a hack for circus dumbbells. Not so much.

Lol, I didn’t read the description but wtf?
It’s already pretty gimmicky but that kind of removes the entire point of them.
Taking a page from strongman and understanding that making a lift LOOK cool is just as important as being heavy.

Well I’m dead … If my wife finds out I made another Rogue order last night. Mind you it was only $75.00 but it’s the principle of it.
