Pole Monkey Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Howdy all. I stumbled across this site while rehabbing from a recent bicep injury at work. I've always considered myself relatively strong. I have a very physically demanding job (I'm a telecom lineman), and never had any trouble until the injury. I was just amazed at how little weight I could move. So I decided to take a good hard look at my life and the choices that have led me here. January 1st I cold turkeyed a 15 year dip habit. Hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I started training for my first 5k the next day, and started the Beginner Bodyweight program a few days later. The results have been phenomenal! More energy, no more stomach cramps, and I can actually pull my fat butt up! Now to clean up my diet and really start pushes some plates soon...
