Weird, but impressive

This actually makes sense. Lol

Harsh but fair.

Pretty much my M.O., yeah.

Genuine LOL—for the reference, and for the teenage daughter bit!

(I guess teenage girls really are just teenage girls the world over!)

Bunch of different kinds of jumping today, but I didn’t log the specifics. Mostly jumping over boxes, two boxes, etc. Did some goblet squats, too, just to sorta tire myself a little.

Now I’m questioning how corpulent you can actually be if you are doing box jumps. :thinking:

Very true.

If you go back over the years (which you should not do), my log is littered with bodyweight stuff like Muscle-ups, Handstand pushups and box jumps, plus a lot of grief and teasing from my fellow posters as a result. This new, fat knacker version who barely does anything interest is a relatively new thing.

If I tried it, it would be 100% head injury.

Ooohhhh I like your old stuff. There are pictures and videos. All kinds of fun stuff! You never should have told me to look. :wink:

I told you specifically NOT to look. But yeah, I don’t like doing videos. I only do it on occasion to keep these buttholes on their toes.

You gonna do T-ransformation?

Gadzukes, no. I am too old for that stuff. Plus it doesn’t align with my goals very well. Not my thing, I wouldn’t do well.

Bummer.

Yeah, I am 52. And lean doesn’t look good on me.

More pressing. I am trying to increase frequency here a bit. Gentle warmups on the barbell, and then decided to finally go after the 46 kilo dumbbells. Needed a spotter to get them up, but then I was off. The feeling of increased weight was significant, but nothing I haven’t felt before. Now I know I can do it, I can hopefully improve it.

Lean is overrated. You’re a bad MF. Continue being awesome.
