      I’ll jump in…

      Did away with all weights and treadmills/elliptical stuff.

      Body weight only for 2023. If you follow IronWolf in YT you will get an idea.

      100 navy seals a day
      100 prison squats a day

      Working towards 100 pull ups a day.

      5 days a week, weekends off and Ill continue to eat what I want and how that works out lol

        Run a Spartan Race with me!!! No better motivation to workout than putting an event on the calendar where you'll need those gains! I'm doing 4 this year including the one in Houston (5k in March 12), Waco (5k Baylor Stadium April 1), Burnet (12k May 20), and the BEAST in Granbury (half marathon Oct 21). PM me for details. Not a gimmic. Just an invite to join my team!

        Committing to the hardest obstacle course race on the planet will make you physically fit, mentally strong and more resilient. What are you waiting for? Sign up today and race with us in 2024.

          I’m still in the same place as always. 5’10” 185 lbs. I haven’t been able to stay off the operating table for the past 4 years. I’m sick of it. Found out yesterday I have two significantly torn rotator cuff muscles. I’m visiting with my doc next Tuesday but there is no way I’m having surgery to repair them any time soon. My focus this year is going to be functional strength and endurance. Screw everything else.

            I’m back up to 199 which is pitiful from where I was at the end of October.

                  I’d like to consider the March race in Houston but not sure if my knees will cooperate. Let me see how this month goes but I’d be interested in that race possibly

                    Got the year started, 20 minute HIIT Ride on the peleton and then a 26 minute chest workout! Let’s hope my little one sticks to this schedule!

                      Started my training for a 155 mile bike ride in May. Rode 16 miles on Sunday and 10 miles yesterday. Will work my way up to 20 per day in the next few weeks.

                        I'm still hitting it. 63 years old, 6'4 and 240 is what the scales said today. I'm glad the holidays are OVER! Too much food, booze and more food and booze for me this year. I finished off the year on higher rep ranges with moderate weight, and have started the new year back to my 5X5 plan. Chest and back yesterday and hit arms and legs today. The gym was full of resolutioners. They'll quit coming as soon as the DOMS sets in.

                        Preacher curl/cable pushdowns/prone leg curl/incline situp
                        BB curl/overhead rope extension/seated leg extension
                        Bilateral DB hammer curl/bilateral cable pulldown/hanging leg raises
                        Weighted dips/spider curls/front squat

                        Chest and back tomorrow. May throw in some shoulders as well.

                          I'm going to jump in again this year, eventually. Hopefully I will do a better job updating the thread.

                          I am six weeks (today) out of rotator cuff surgery to repair 2 tears and clean up a bone spur and scar tissue on my bicep tendon. I have started therapy and recovery is going good. Hoping to be back at it in February.

                          Last year I was attending Camp Gladiator 5 or 6x a week, was setting about 180 pounds and about 17 percent body fat. I made the decision in August to make some changes because I wasn't getting where I wanted to be - I wanted to be leaner and build a little muscle. Changed my diet to eliminate processed foods and sugars, and started moving the weights around instead of a cardio concentration. Things were moving in the right direction until I had surgery - got down to 170 and lost almost 3 inches around the middle. And then came recovery, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Time to start over.

                              A buddy and I are picking up lifting this year to help with weight loss. My goal is to get sub 280 and stronger so I feel more comfortable getting up in a tree.

                              Get after it, everyone!
