<p>Funny, I had similar thoughts too JK! I was a 'shore boy' from age 5-11 (Glenfield). </p>

<p>No shit? I thought your boganess was from Wellington but clearly not</p> -
<p>Yeah bro! Sunnybrae Normal School, Coronation Road, etc, etc</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got my boganess from living in Paekak and the Kapiti Coast during the grunge era!</p> -
<p>Small world aye! Next we'll hear Wairau grew up in the same area!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>ha ha I finally found out that 'normal' schools were connected to teacher's college. Always used to wonder wtf was up with that name!</p> -
<p>ha ha when you are a little'un even the small storm drains look pretty big!! </p>

<p>I think we are doing the 100 pull-up challenge again this weekend so I'll be paying my dues lol.</p> -
<p>Friday afternoon went for a hike run with a mate, up a mountain (big hill) from sea level. Great fun, plenty of stairs and free plus technical running on trails. Midway we did 3 sets of pull ups, bench and dead lifts at a workout area. The bar exercises were light, but the pull ups were 15/11/8 with not long breaks so that's ok.</p>
<p>Saturday afternoon found time to get up my hill close to home, did 10 hill repeats as fast as possible, 17:45, HB 225~ at finish. Then 15/12 dips and 14/12 pull ups.</p> -

Amusing to see the connections. I know it rains all the bl**dy time in Auckland, but it must be a big storm water culvert for my picture to remind you of it.</p></blockquote>

I've forgotten what rain looks like here in Auckland, never ending summer

<p>OK, guys, I will do this week. Lots of trees (with some birds and squirrels), views of valley/other hill tops, pull ups are done in two places, one solid and strong bar, other rickety and wobbly, both just the right height for me so at full stretch with flat feet I am 1-2 inches above the ground.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week did 10 hill repeats fast, and about 40 pull ups midweek.</p>
<p>Today did 15 hill repeats and 78 pull ups. First 6 hill repeats done fast, @ 1.35 pace, last 9 @ 2 minute pace.</p>
<p>Pull up....78 in 21 minutes: 15/5/5/5/5/5/4/4/4/4/4/3/3/3/3/3/3....only stopped to prevent calluses from ripping. They're white yellow now, but should stay whole. I need to cut/file them down this week.</p> -
Was sore for 4-5 days after those workouts last weekend. Went up on Saturday and did 75 dips, with under 2 minute breaks, 15, 12, 12, 10, 10, 9, 7. Also two quick easy sets of 30*55kg bench. <br>
Sunday did 80 full pull ups in 24 minutes.... 15, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, was struggling on those with around 45-50 second breaks. Cheated a little on both days to complete some sets as got tired. <br>
Left knee has a minor niggle from running up the stairs last weekend so will rest it till ok. <br>
89Kg at moment, will aim 86-87 in the summer. Cutting the excess skin off my calluses helped. <br>
Pics of the workout areas are on page one of this thread. Saw a 1m green snake on way back today. -
Thanks, been a bit busy, but will buy some when have a chance. <br>
Saturday did 80 dips, decent breaks:18, 15, 10, 10, 10, 9, 8<br>
Sunday did pull ups, felt unfocused at start but persevered, decent breaks:8, 10, 11, 10, 10, 9, 8, 7=73<br>
knee is feeling a bit better, might resume hikes next week. <br>
Didn't trim the calluses before todays workout which is a mistake, doing that allows me to do more pull ups with shorter rests -
<p>Midweek did 15 hill repeats at untimed speed, knee felt ok, and 18/15 dips, 14/12 pull ups</p>
<p>Saturday had mild food poisoning, body felt awful...made myself vomit it out, by Sunday 80% better, did maintenance workout: 5 hill repeats, 14 pull ups, 18 dips. Weight dropped down to 88kg, will restrict meal sizes this week to keep the reduction.</p> -
Yes, even when busy should still do some exercise to maintain the level. I don't think I am doing enough, but it's ok. <br><br>
Saturday went up with some friends, just did 5 hill repeats, 1 set of strict pull ups (15) and 1 set of dips (16).... <br><br>
Sunday jammed my toe, no blood just pain, so no hill repeats. Did 91 strict pull ups, maybe cheated a little on 5 in total. Took 26 1/2 minutes. Sets of 15, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2. Trimming my calluses helped a lot, the one I didn't trim enough has a small blister on the side. A decent and achievable target would be 100 in less than 25 minutes.
