Also, I think I’ve a rotator cuff thing. Can still do everything but sure hasn’t healed.
come on up and do my mulching for me every Spring.
The post above was my last entry in this thread. It was right after I started Camp Gladiator. I've been sticking with it since. I've done 3 CG workouts this week and will get 1 or 2 more in. Overall it's been a good thing. I'm leaner and have added a little muscle. I've only dropped a few pounds but losing weight wasn't and isn't my primary goal. The better I do with my diet the more results I'll see. I'll do OK for a while with my food and the get bored and start to eat more poorly for a while.
CG is the first in person, trainer led fitness work I've done in a while. I'm enjoying the workouts and the social aspects of it with the other campers.

Congrats that a big number as far as I'm concerned. I'm a pretty small guy (159lbs) and I'm getting old (turned 56 last week) so I don't do anything heavy anymore but even when I did I didn't come close to 270! Anyway, it's all relative so I'm happy for you to hit a PR, that had to feel great.
I'm still doing Camp Gladiator a few times a week so I'm staying in pretty good shape. Been at it since September so I've seen some decent results. It's fun to go to camp and try to keep up with guys much younger than I am.
Whoa! That's bringing it! 🔥 strong work!
I have changed up my workout routine after the 500 pushups a day routine for 3 years. Back into lifting in a more traditional sense. I do a ton of burnout with biceps, triceps and chest. I have historically had shoulder issues, so I do lighter weights there. The pushup routine kind of rounded my shoulders and pulled them forward a bit. Trying to counteract that with more back and chest work. Weight is up slightly, but I am thinner in the waist. Chest definition is much better. I have probably put on 3-5 lbs of upper body muscle. Lost an inch in the waist. I'm not as strong as you. Bench up to 250 and I weigh 173. I also box 3-5 times a week for cardio and try to get in 20K steps a day. Will be 50 in August.
Thank you and return kudos/nice work. I checked out Camp Gladiator. Looks fun!
Beating/hanging with 20/30-somethings at my CrossFit gym is also what keeps me going. I have a borderline unhealthy competitive drive. I think I have some advantage, as they all go out drinking on weeknights and I get good sleep.
Played full court basketball, six games in a row, for the first time in many years on Wednesday night. I run on my own pretty frequently, but realized when I woke up the next day with my calves on fire that I do not jump very often anymore.

so many great ways to keep yourself motivated and fit...i find myself in a rut, but a very happy, enjoyable, enduring rut...5-6 brisk walking miles each day with the hound, rain or shine or nasty cold, it keeps me on the rails.
Some light weights thrice a week, too.
I’m ashamed to admit I’ve started doing the chumbuwumba tubthumper burpee finisher.
