Just a guy who likes things. I post about anything and everything that takes my interest
Might as well post all of the humbling benchmarks then. This was my max push ups, it’s now down to 20 @92.5kg body weight. It used to be somewhere in the 50s I think?
Hopefully this ages well and 20 looks stupid in a few months time.

A rather humbling beginning to this latest journey. 10 pull ups is now my maximum, down from 25 at my peak. This is at 92.5kg body weight. Time to get to work…
(On the bright side, new pull up set up is awesome)

Trying my hand at using ProRes 4K footage and some colour correction to go along. So here's some super high quality exercise footage featuring Maple in the background

New L-Sit record! Somewhere between 10 and 11 seconds now. Up from about 8 previously.
Followed by some more piano practice between sets

Trying something other than scrolling TikTok between sets today, still learning this one!
Anyone else get up to anything odd during rests?

First pull ups in 18 months! Finally starting to add them back in now, and they feel not completely horrible, just mostly horrible…
Hoping to build back up to sets of 10

Part of this ‘getting fit again’ journey is being humbled by exercises you were once good at. Todays exhibit, like push ups
(They moved better than I thought they would though!)

More parallettes work! Beginning to vaguely remember how to control my body, hopefully a few more weeks and I can post impressive things, got to put the work in first though

Cracked the parallettes out for a quick morning workout, turns out I can still just about L-Sit!
Definitely room for improvement though

Really didn’t feel like doing any exercise tonight, but still managed to get on the Peloton and do something, and that’s a hell of a lot better than nothing!
It’s 453 calories that wouldn’t have been burned otherwise, I count that as a win

Hello to my 11 followers. I hope you appreciate the random two month breaks I take from posting. I don’t know when they’re going to happen any more than you do.
Here’s a photo of my dog over Christmas to make up for it

Throwback to when I could actually do cool calisthenics stuff…
All that’s stopping me from getting back there is my diet, lifestyle and training regime. So not much 😂

The terrifying thing was realising just how much waste there is on our beaches. The one I chose is regarded as quite a clean beach. But waste was everywhere if you looked for it. This one seemingly clean piece of seaweed in the picture contained all of the waste in the second picture
