Good work!!!

BINGO. I've started with this for two weeks now. My phone charges under my bed, I cover the clock and make sure all the twinkling LEDs are turned off. The other night, it was so dark, I honestly could not tell if my eyes were open or closed, there was no light for me to see. Out like a light(yeah, terrible pun) and the deepest sleep ever. Woke up feeling so much better.

YES!! I had stuff planed around a sharehouse I once lived in. FYI, a blackout is a good way to see who will wander out into the street and have a look. Generally, they are the people who will die/be killed first in any proper disaster, so you can safely loot their house on day two. So did I, I was looking forward to links of hot sauces and whatnot. Maybe we should start a thread on it.

I had some home grown broccolli the other day, cut it fresh from the garden at 8am, was eating if at 13:30. I had stored it in the fridge inbetween and then I was eating it, I noticed a couple of caterpillars. As there was a group of us eating, I calming took them off my food, put them to the side and continued to eat. As they got warmer, from being out of the fridge, they started to stretch and be more active. One of the girls in finance freaked out and demanded that I take them to the bin. A little over the top I thought, but never the less, I didn't eat them, but I will never know if there was three of them there to begin with...

Start to add meat slowly, have a small piece of chicken. The white meat is not as 'heavy' as red meat. Give your body a chance to deal with the protein. Stay away from extra strong spices that you haven't had in a while, if it doesn't feel right, stop it. Know what you are are putting in. step up to, say, 800 calories for a bit and make sure you are doing something to help use it. Good luck & let up know how it is all going.

Good work. I'm doing Convict Conditioning and finding it great. Yet to start the handstand moves, but working through the push up and pull up stuff.

Good work!!

So pretty happy about that. I ordered a medium with it to be my goal T. I'm currently an XL (they used to be tight, but not som much now) The goal is have a small waist, broad shoulders and have the T pretty snug. Action photo to be posted in June.

Good work, getting it all out on 'paper' is a good way to see the big picture. Don't worry too much, we have all had a terrible relationship that near destroyed us but have mosty soldiered on and came out the other side. So far, personally, I have found this community a great place to sort stuff out and get your sh!t together. The support here and the great advice, far outways any naysayers in the real world. WELCOME TO THE REBELLION!!!

That's great news. I'm happy that you reached a goal!!!

Measurements also depend on how far along you are and what you are trying to achive. For me, at the moment looking for fitness and weight loss, it's all about three things, pounds on scales, inches around my belly and my body fat % according to the US Navy. I want all these numbers to go down. Once they are in the zone I want them to be, in order, 219, 34, 12, then I will look into more of the other like, max weight lifted, number fo reps, vertical leap inches.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HASN'T BEEN POSTED YET...

Bruce Wayne/Batman - As a training partner. Mace Windu - To learn the ways of the Force and Teräs Käsi. The Doctor - For the adventure. Quinn Mallory – For the adventure. Barney Stintson – For the adventure. There seems to be a fair bit of adventure that I'm looking for...

I have to admit, it is a pretty sweet deal to have a family of tradies. Their tools and skills are mighty helpful. After doing a mere 4 incline pull ups, the larger 10 foot chin up bar is on hold, I am now designing a set of parallel bars that are horizontally flat, but when seen top down, they are bent.[terrible ASCII art] | | \ [/terrible ASCII art] Like real parallel bars, but the flare out at the end will allow me to, one day(August) do pushups that end up with my chest lower than my hands!

Good work!!

UPDATE!!! So the first one, the smaller of the two is complete. As you can see that I will be able to, at the moment, do incline push ups and pull ups on it. This will be then used to to jump over, both with hands and hands free and, hopefully, one day, to get a 3 foot vertical leap and balanced landing... The other bit of kit I built was a board with a blue camping mat glued down with tile glue. This will allow me to do floor based stuff outside without the pavers killing me. So there we have it, Useful kit and a full w00t Now to start Convict Conditions step 2...

Awesome work, I'm also into building my own stuff to work out on (see here). But I have to ask, what is it and how does it work?

Hey hey, from one Aussie to another, welcome aboard. This site is full of useful info and great people sharing their success, and sometimes failures. But all are leaning experiences.

From one Melbournian to another, welcome. You're right, 5 minutes isn't much, but it's a start, and you have to start somewhere. Don't let anyone tell you that 'only' 5 minutes isn't worth it. Turn 5 into 10, then in to 20 and you are winning. When I first started, I had a 40 second squat routine every morning, then that became twice a day, then four times a day. Now I'm doing a 20 minutes workout four mornings a week and a quick 5 minute routine 4 nights a week, plus all the little things, like taking the stairs, walking to the further kitchen, these all add up and me moving more and doing more. Stick with it Brother, you'll see results soon enough.

Good work Sharkie. Good to see things moving in the right direction for you.

Good work. Keep it up!!

Planks. Steady slow breathing and just hold them.

I'm all about proving the naysayers wrong. That extra rep is a massive F%#K YOU Naysayer!!!
