Let's try again...

Bar is a 50mm piece of pipe mounted on two steel brackets in the garage wall. It's probably a bit over two metres up and about three feet long. I usually use a grip just outside my shoulder width but tried a little wider for some of the early sets, then went narrow again

Where do you get a sore back? Upper, lower, mid?<br />
There are these cheap manipulators here, I used to use them (basically chiropractors), but since I've been doing pull ups + abs on the pull up bar my back has been much better and I haven't needed to go once. Years, so happy about that, I really had years of pain before the years of absence of pain now.<br />
Still wondering if the chin ups might be twisting your back, but it's just a random guess and probably wrong.<br />
<br />
Do you have any soreness from the dip/pull ups workouts? Are they easy, or tiring, and should you do more? -
Left over from a bad SI joint - hips mis aligned causing issues elsewhere. At the moment the back pain is lower left, right in next to the spine, but I can feel strain on the left neck and shoulder when I'm doing over head press.<br />
<br />
Its long term from a damaged left ankle. -

Not doing enough dips to tell, but definitely sore after pull up work - triceps, lats mostly. -
Hiked in the Blue Mountains today - some really vertical shit going on there including passing a landslide via cable mounted in the cliff wall! About 18 km in under 5 hours - the GPS got most of it OK.<br />
<br />
Altitude varied between 400 and 1050 apparently. -

90.8 this morning without really trying. School holidays and my turn to look after the kids - mini golf, movie, lunch at Gourmet Pizza Kitchen. Tomorrow I might head up the mountains and show them some awesome lookout action<br />
<br />
Did my cat voms routine tonight after seeing the Chiro and getting some muscle release and activation done. Jeez it tires you out!<br />
<br />
Got my next round of arse cam on Monday so a few days of light eating and some light exercise should see me under 90 by the time I've finished the prep... -

Edit: another 5 pushups when I got inside, just to make 50 -
After failing to conquer my desire to sleep in the last few weeks, I finally dragged myself out for a run this morning.<br />
<br />
5.02 km in 24:40 - the 5 km mark was 24:28 which was a new PB by 14s. Not sure how that last 20m equates to 12 s but I'll take it.<br />
<br />
Walked home the long way - 2.81km in 24:50 -
So, sitting here just after 6PM, having fasted all day for the colonoscopy tomorrow. Quite frankly I still don't know why I agreed to go ahead with my second one in 12 months, but then I have a feeling I should trust this surgeon more than the last idiot. He's a specialist in the area rather than the general numpty I got put onto last time. If they find some cancer I'll buy him a beer... not sure I want to shake his hand though...<br />
<br />
But that doesn't make fasting suck any less.<br />
<br />
My advice is, don't ever get in this situation. I like food too much to do it again, and I doubt whether it will do anything meaningful for my weight loss... at least until I have to get up at 5AM tomorrow and start slurping down the colon blow...
