When the playground is empty and it's not raining, I have to take advantage of it. Okay, I did scare off three teens who were sitting at the picnic table behind me, though I told them I'd be gone soon and they didn't have to go on my account. I like my form from the third rep on; not so much the first two.

Nice climb up the grade over Breckenheim past Wildsachsen to Bremthal, then back—woosh!—down to Auringen, through Medenbach, and across the multi-use recreation paths to Nordenstadt (home). Taunus foothills, greater Wiesbaden, Hesse, Germany.
91 decline push-ups in set one today for a rep record at this level of difficulty and also a new best set time — beating my time to 90 reps from four weeks ago by 58 seconds. I'll knock out another 1–2 sets tonight. 100 reps coming soon! Meanwhile, I'm off for a challenging ride on the road bike.
Video is 4x speed in the vast middle to keep you engaged.

Beautiful spring day, so I took the most ambitious ride yet this young year and climbed the long grade up to Langenhain and back down the sweepers through Breckenheim and back home. Supper and a long nap followed immediately.
I'm still not quite believing it myself, but I just pushed out a new personal best with 5 handstand push-ups. I started this journey five years ago, losing 50 pounds and putting advanced heart disease in remission. I'm 69 in 2025.

I just saw someone named @senada.greca on Instagram doing this and thought I'd give it a try. It's going into my repertoire at once! Try it and tell me what you think.

Where I feel these most is in my brachioradiales (anterior radial forearm, plural)—not, surprisingly, my quads. Halfway through, they're screaming and I want to stop. But then, miraculously, the urgent ache goes away! I'm not sure what the mechanism is there. But that muscle will help you immensely with pull-ups, dead hangs, general grip strength, etc. Video is 3x speed, and this is the last bit.

Continuing to work on Nordic hamstring curls. I did 1½ today. Here's the first one. I'm 69. #seniorfitness #nogym #calisthenics #fitness #noequipment #hamstringcurls
Four handstand push-ups today! I've done 4 four times now, the last time being five weeks ago. This felt solid today. Five reps are coming! I'm 69.

4 handstand push-ups today. It's my third time hitting 4 reps. Maybe I can get to 5 by my 69th birthday in 13 days. #seniorfitness #nogym #calisthenics #fitness #noequipment #handstandpushups
Back to 4 handstand push-ups, tying my record of some weeks ago. I'll turn 69 in four weeks.

March 2021. Pants fit a year before and were bought in 2019. That's a 50-pound difference. I have stayed stable since X-mas 2020 and am not going back.

Playgrounds are for us old guys, too! Nine bar dips. I'm 68.
I'm tired today after overtraining yesterday in all week, but I couldn't resist this chance to get in a few bar dips.

Neutral-grip, set 5, finishing the day with a weighted set. 💯 on the day and 310 on the week in 16 sets across three days. Today 2024 is ⅔ over! I've done 6,097 pull-ups (all grips), 28.7% of them weighted. I'm 68.

This is set 5, the last set, and the only one with weights. I hit 17 for another new record with weights. That made 105 on the day. I'm 68.

"Only" 87 of these today, first set. (I'll bet that's 87 more 'n you did. 😉) I'm tired today. I'll still probably do a second set tonight. I'm 68.

Neutral grip pull-ups today. This is the sixth of six sets. I did 102 on the day and 310 on the week, all grips, across three days. I'm on track to surpass all of 2023, which was 5,339 pulls, next Thursday. 28.8% so far this year have been weighted. Age 68.
