Just thought I'd pop in and talk about protein... :-)

I’m having a lot of discussion about protein consumption in my house lately with my two sons who both appear to be as obsessive as I in...

Yeah, Mount Torrens is nice in autumn with the colours, there's quite a few smaller vineyards around the town itself and yes we're close to one of the best grape growing areas in the country, being...

I don't actually mind it too much myself. I'm having fights with the wife about the air conditioner. I'd rather get around the place in just a pair of shorts but she insists that I 'put some...

42 degrees in Adelaide today but I still did about an hour and a half of bouldering at the Bouldering Club which is a tin shed :-)

Well, tonight was The Club ( https://www.facebook.com/aboulderingclub ) which is extremely humble in comparison to climbing gyms overseas, but hey, this is little tiny Adelaide, the fifth most...

Hmmm, I should do kettle bells...

Last night's workout after work was a short ride 'round the block'. Shave about 14 seconds off the ride. Only 14 seconds but at least it was quicker! :-) Got to the point of dry reaching as I was...

Well, yesterday's 'workout' was climbing this route (Blue line, Asgard, grade 16) 11 times straight with no rest between climbs on solo top rope. It's an easy climb that comes down to a three finger...

I'm not...

Two hours of bouldering including some harder (for me) problems as well as some traversing and some campussing and I was still able to do 15 close grip chin ups at the end.

Today marks eight days...

My 'workouts' are pretty consistent these days, just different forms of climbing.

That looks like great fun. Do you deflate the tyres? Does the sand seem to wear the gears at all? One of those in a single speed would be interesting :-)

Not doing it to keep weight down as such, more to keep the fat down. I'm trying to be as lean as I can be while maintaining strength. However, I don't want to get 'stringy' so i might need to start...

Hey Jimbo,
150 pushups after 1/2 an hour of bag work? Cool.

Have you done any climbing at all? Seriously, long climbing (I suggest bouldering) with a lot of traversing; or basically just...

Hey, Bee Tee Doubleyou. Anyone do intermittent fasting? Essentially I gather it's eating your last meal at 20:00 and eating again at 12:00.

Generally I don't eat breakfast but have a coffee with...

Part of last night's 'workout'. Two hours of bouldering at The Adelaide Bouldering Club and a bit of mucking around campussing too :-)
Feeling strong for 53...
...

Wow that'd be nice on forest trails....

I use the scales. I'm aware they don't indicate to me my actual body fat content but I use them to monitor how much I've lost or gained. For instance, generally mine indicate my body fat is about...

Cool, yeah that's quite funny. Hardly an authoritative source! Just a few guys talking :-). Also there appears to be nothing on there about chin ups, so I guess the title did fool me. :-)

I...

Whoops I meant pecs. I was referring to the post above...

Of course there is room for 'cheating' on the last few reps, but for 'testing' purposes (i.e. for instance personal 'benchmark' testing) good form is important for me.

I feel for me overhand grip works the lats. Of course I'm not suggesting door frame pull ups (as they may more correctly be termed rather than chin ups) aere an all round great movement, but they're...

Yes, I don't believe in 'flicking' and stuff...

You guys have been busy! I've just been climbing, as is the norm these days. Down to 62.9 kilos the other day and down a whole percentage of fat. I have to go away for a work trip overnight...

Cool looking bike. I also have a single speed and agree with the fitness aspect. I love hitting a hill and REALLY needing to push down on the pedals to move at all, I liken it to a squat workout as...
