Dchris's Grappling with Age

Saturday
KB Swings
20x40lb
20x60lb
2x30x80lb

30 pushups in between sets.

Will try to hit legs tonight. I have to move my sister and her husband today, then work later tonight. Can’t think of a worse way to spend a Saturday.

This last week was in an Airbnb, but brought the 60lber along and swung it every morning and night.

Sunday Morning

100 KB Swings with 60lb

Sunday Afternoon
41x80lb KB

I’ve been trying to work up to 50 reps with the 80lber. I hit the 41st rep and my back tweak a bit. I definitely had 50 in me, but figured I’d rather lift tomorrow then have another back issue. I’d like to work up to 5x50 with the 80lb before I buy a 100lber.

Back to traveling tomorrow, will be back on Thursday.

Not sure what’s going on with my back, my left hip is constantly in pain. Continuing to do the three yoga poses, stretch and just started ab rollouts. I suspect my abs are week and my hips are tight. My diet has been good this past week.

In other news, next week I’ll have enough to buy my plane tickets to Thailand. So… I gotta get my shit together so I’m looking good at the beach.

Foam rolling has worked wonders for my hips, you trying that?

Chiropractor worked wonders for me. Good luck with the hip.

Yea, I foam roll everyday. It might be because of how I sit in my truck. I’ve been driving 20 hours a week, with my chair angled so my legs tilt up and my back reclined a bit. Think it might be putting my hips in an odd angle. I’ve tilted the seat forward with the back more upright. Also working on core strength and stretching constantly

I’ve spent so much time in a chiro chair. That’s my last resort, but it’s not painful to conduct daily life. Just super tight and prevents me from squatting.

I’m gonna try a light leg day today.

Bunch of KB Rows, pull-ups and lat raises.

Back doesn’t hurt as much. Tho, it hurt when I was rowing. Continuing to try and stretch, yoga and ab exercises.

So… I will be buying plane tickets to Thailand this week. With that in mind, I need to get my semi-chunky ass in shape and stick to it. I’ll be gone in mid January, which means I have 3 months to get abs. If I don’t log my food every day, you all need to ban me from this site.

@robstein do you still take clients?
