The Workout Thread

So today I finally succeeded in putting together multiple sets of muscleups on the pullup bar (youtube it if you don't know what they look like), and felt pretty freaking accomplished to be honest.

They've always been something I've wanted to do, and the last week or so I finally knuckled down and figured them out.

When I can get a set of ten down I'll post up a video of me doing them, plus some of the other wacky stuff (clapping pullups, pullups with a 75 pound kid on my back, etc) I like to do.

Pullups with two midgets playing cards hanging onto his legs, etc.

By doing nothing but eating a little better I lost 10 pounds in 2 months. Last night I decided no more sodas, period, and to do an hour of cardio every night after I put Lily to bed. I don't particularly have a goal in mind other than to just see what this does.

That's great man. I predict you will be surprised at the results.

Ever since I got this my cardio has improved DRAMATICALLY. I feel like I can go for hours and don't really want to leave the gym. It's also kind of addicting. Thanks for the recommendation.

I ran 2.5 miles today in 27 minutes which is kind of amazing. I was averaging 23-28 minutes for 2 miles without the white flood, but not I can hit 2 miles in around 22-24. I do do intervals, usually 2-3 minute run, then 1-2 minute jog.

You may also want to consider kettlebells, since there are one-armed exercises that you can do with a kettlebell that will give you a good workout. However, you definitely should speak with an RKC-certified instructor first to see if it's even feasible to train with kettlebells in your condition.

I started looking into finding a specialized trainer to help me get a workout that would maximize what I can and cannot do, hence why I am still shying away from weights. They are kinda expensive but I feel like it would be a great investment.

I don't recommend alot of supps, but a good pre-workout is definitely on that list.

And also, with your list of specialized needs, you definitely want to research trainers in your area and see what you can find. I have a variety of clients that come to my place, and depending on their needs I'll put them with special trainers (sometime requiring additional physician input or approval).

One week later 8lbs dropped and a belt loop tighter.

I stopped drinking soda and switched to black coffee about a week and a half ago.

I've gained four pounds.

Fuck you.

I'm doing cardio and am also much fatter than you. Take your pick.
