Dude has some serious core strength to balance that.

related - anyone else still doing the core commit??

I've been exercising, but about two months something popped in my right forearm when I was doing heavy rows.  I've been going easy since then as I'm waiting for my arm to recover.

Ditto. Been running and hiking, but had a bicep issue that literally kept me limited at avoiding anything that involved bending my arm under load (by "load" I mean like a 10-pound dumbell).

Been trying to run and hike and bike and shed the fat I put on during the fire evac and post-evac travel. Arm is finally feeling better and I'm finally back home and normal. Would be a good time to recommit I think.

Y'all must be getting old?

The proof not being the injuries, but the fact that I actually decided to lay off until it got better.

>getting old

Maybe.  I'm thinking I'm going to have to modify my workout routine.  I've been getting injured a lot in the last few years.   My muscles are too strong for my ligaments and joints.

Hush! STFU! Doing almost nothing these days, but promising myself each and every day that tomorrow I get back in the fight... then Call of Duty WWII on the Xbox says my name..

I typically injure myself within 6 months. I get stronger and ramp up too quickly. Personal training has helped me not do this. I think I've shaved 10 years off my physical ability in the last 9 months.

Still in it to win it, if anyone wants to recommit.
