I haven’t done any races for 5 years. Strictly lifted weights. Now I’m doing a little of everything, running, weight lifting, biking.

Handstands and stretching in between handstands today.

Slower than usual & probably not 1 second 45 count handstand x5
LONG rest periods in between each 45 count hold.

Need to go help in our kitchen and will see if I can shuffle step for a mile afterwards.

EDIT: Got dismissed after the wife got irritated with me sooner than later.
13 minute & 27 second senior citizen shuffle step for 1 mile.

Have a good remainder of the weekend everyone!

Doing a mile run tonight before the 20 degree cold front gets here.

I finally started my routine again.

squat: 135lbs 3x5
Bench: 135lbs 5x5
Sumo Deadlifts 135lbs 3x5

Add 2.5lbs every successive routine for bench and squats, 5lbs for dead’s.

Work, work,...more work.
Managed to 'eff off between work for 5 handstands. Just chipping away at & putting in the work.

It's my Friday finally!

Started work way too early today but at least I can go home earlier if work doesn't blow up.

No endurance today. Changed it up to ten 15 count handstands over the course of 8 hours between work.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Boys....not new but don't post much. 34 and just tore my acl playing soccer. Been playing my whole life. Any pre/post op recommendations?

Surgery went well I guess. Never had surgery but I wouldn't have guessed how much it sucks after. Also paying out of pocket wasn't much fun. Therapy starts tomorrow.

Bigalmalloy Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Get well soon Bigalmalloy . Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to recovering from surgery or injury.

Get well soon, Bigalmalloy ! I'm sure acl repairs have come along way since mine 25 years ago. Looks like we'll have matching scars, though!!

Heal well!
Therapy hurts. Therapy works.

Thanks guys! Its weird being a grown ass man crying in front of a young therapist.
Also probably time to take up a new sport, any suggestions for minimal impact and no twisting?

Swimming is the only thing I can think of. Blade sports, martial arts, weight lifting, hand/eye coordination sports (handball, tennis, baseball, bowling, etc.), gymnastics, all involve impact and twisting that I would assume would be off limits until you're fully recovered. Does your PT have any suggestions?

My geriatric training routine for today:
5 x jump to handstand (30 count, 35 count, 45 count, 40 count, 45 count)
Stretching in between handstands (support front split, pancake & forward fold)
1 mile shuffle step completed in 12 minutes & 47 seconds.

Cycling or rowing.
Also fishing.

Going back a bunch of pages. Take a walk before work and a walk after work to get some exercise in. Make it a habit if possible.
I keep my wife company on her infrequent 1 mile walks and I try to keep up with my son when he joins me on my geriatric shuffle steps.

Blues Thank you for moving this where it belongs.
