75kg!!? Get some kai in ya bro!!
Yeah you need to be pushing a hundie at least.
The most I got to was 90 back in my late rugby days. That's alot for a short arse like me. Wasn't exactly shredded. Would have freaked out at being 75 then, but back then it was all about the GAINZ BRUH!
You mean it's not anymore ?

True. No excuses for that.

Sheet, almost a week. Will start from weekend. So solid swimming sesh on Saturday (ha, try saying that 3 times fast). Then had 10km fun run with gf on Saturday. That went really well. Shows you can train for a run by swimming. Have done very little running recently and still managed around 46 minutes. Could probably have done better but for the ridiculous bottleneck at the start (why do people go up the front if they'll tank after 200 metres) and the fact that no distances were marked on the course. But anyway pretty stoked with that and happy that the swimming is obviously great for overall fitness. Same applies for eldest who despite being very pissed off at having to get up at 6 on a Sunday did very well in his 5km. Youngest couldn't make it so got eldest to take his place in the 1km kids dash with gf's daughter. Yeah, shouldn't have done that. He's 14 and kids run was 11 max. He was about 3 heads taller than everyone. He was supposed to just run with gf's daughter but he got bored and put on the afterburners. Thank Christ he left it too late and came in 4th. So farking embarassing. Shameful, but at least we got another medal. No shirts though. Had to pay for them. Bastards.
Swimming this morning which was perfect for sore legs. Not a particular hard session either so good start to week.

I was really unsure how it would go, but clearly anaerobic swimming training gives me pretty decent aerobic fitness. Wish I'd pushed harder or had one of those pace setter dudes with the balloon attached. Really wish I was into swimming as a youngster.

Changing things up a bit with chest and biceps today. Normally do this on Thursday but I'm finding energy levels are significantly lower by then and I'm not smashing it or enjoying it as much as I should. Felt good today so hopefully it will do the trick going forward.

Been a while...
Covid obviously changed things up a bit. Obviously no gym or pool so had to get creative with buckets full of bricks. Did alot of running with the gf which was nice and thankfully the cops turned a blind eye to the public gym equipment nearby so could use bars etc. But seriously over the running (my farking knees) and was stoked to finally get back into the pool (which only reopened 3 weeks ago).
So back at the gym 4 times a week and 4 times swimming. The Saturday swim is followed by 40 minutes of running/intervals. A mate wants me to get into mountain biking on Sundays but I think I'll give it a miss. My body generally tells me to go f myself if I try to exert myself on God's rest day 😆.
Anyway. Legs this morning then pool this evening.

Bit of mixed bag unfortunately mate. Eldest has gotten caught up with the wrong crowd and has been into drugs and all the rest of it. Just got expelled from school for selling weed to a kid on the spectrum 🤦♂️ Obviously this must be a mixture of the trauma of losing his mother and being a general arsehole teenager (plus the toxic social media environment that is now rampant) but unfortunately all services to help him are voluntary and he refuses point blank. The worst thing is learning how broken the system is. The various services all pass the buck and tell you straight out that the system is shit. And the poor police can't do anything. Sorry I'm rambling.... Hopefully he'll come right eventually but it's bloody tough to go through.
On the plus side my youngest is thriving and my new partner is terrific. I think also all this exercise has helped. Just clears my head and allows me to keep going forward. Drinking would be easier but I get shocking hangovers 😜.

@Rancid-Schnitzel if there is one place in the world that you NEVER have to say sorry for rambling, I think its here!
Damn, having a teenager sounds hard. Yours doesn't sound like he's done/doing anything that half the people round here didn't do as kids, and we all turned out ok.
Ok, that probably didn't help. 😎
Sounds like life is moving in the right direction generally though, hang in there!

@Rancid-Schnitzel Welcome back to the fold.
Jesus, what a shit show to deal with. Sorry to hear that. Keep well and glad to hear there are some positives.

Cheers mate.
Nice to be able to get the workout log going again. Making sure I stay well away from politics....and Star Wars 🤣 -

Thanks Mate.
Yeah, there were some jaw-dropping stories on a drugs thread a while back. That "Say no to drugs" campaign must have been an epic failure! I'm sure he'll come right in the end, but I'm just shit scared of what could happen in the meantime.

@Rancid-Schnitzel if my kids do even 10% of the shit I did, I'll have a heart attack while they are teenagers.
