Walk around with a c-note sticking out of your pocket and you'll have plenty of opportunities to run in the French Quarter!

Hey dswithers, this is the first time I have seen your journal - amazing for anyone, but especially amazing for one of those rare forum members who is older than me!

13 pullups is amazing. Those are consecutive, right? And, handstand pushups... are evenmorefriggingamazing!:eek:

You got it going on. I am going to bust my butt to hopefully be like you at age 52, but I will have to start working really, really hard right now.
 
Yes he certainly does. Keep on going Mr. Withers......> :)


ROCK ON!!!!!!!


Best wishes,

Thanks for stopping in Chillen and g8r80. I love pullups and handstand pushups. They are real "horsepower to weight ratio" type exercises, as well as working balance, coordination and core strength like nothing else. It is always nice to take some 275 pound guy who shows off benching 300+ pounds to the pullup bar and see what he can do there. Most of them can only grind out 3 or 4 if that many.

I arrived home from N'Orleans Tuesday in the wee hours of the morning, so today was my first day back at the gym since last Saturday. Didn't do much on my trip except a little stretching and 5+ miles of walking everyday, and a lot of eating and drinking.

Stayed up too late last night watching the Red Sox! I keep waiting for them to disappoint, it seems like they almost always do!

I have to go to NYC tomorrow on busniess, so probably no workout tomorrow or maybe Wednesday either, so I had to work out today no matter the lack of sleep.

And, of course, our Patriots looked pretty good yesterday too, although we just expect them to win a lot (and win another Super Bowl this year)!

Missed the last 3 days due to business travel. Spent 6 hours in the car driving back from Rochester yesterday, everything is stiff from too much sitting and too little moving! My right hip and right knee are especially sore.

Light recovery workout and lots of stretching today:
