New here

[Eedad]

Hi all, new here, been lurking on and off for awhile. First the back story. I played soccer my whole life till 18 was always lean, stopped playing in college, became sedentary, gain a ton of fat over the following 10 years. Ended up hurting my back, had surgery, gained more weight out of fear of moving and hurting it again. In February of this year I was 186lbs and around 28% body fat. I am currently 33yo, and was disappointed with what I became. I decided to get back to who I am(coincidentally) this coincided with returning to school for my MBA. I have additional motivation in that I don't want my children to grow up with a dad that can't move with them. I started working out again in February, I am currently down to 158lbs and 14.57% body fat. My oldest son is going to be turning seven and he wants a membership to the local rock gym, and I'd love to go bouldering with him. I'm currently eyeing becoming an assassin.

My current goals:

Continue lifting on my current schedule, add an afternoon bodyweight session.

Gain flexibility and endurance

Dead hand for 20 seconds each arm

Get to 3x 12 pullups currently 3x 8.

Get up to 3x 15 chinups currently 3x 10.

Begin running again(Dr gave the go ahead to run again, however must be conscious of the lower back).

Maybe yoga?

Finish four rungs on the salmon ladder(best to date is three).

Long term goals:

Weight 165lbs and 8% body fat

Dead hang 20 seconds with 50 lb added weight.

Get agile enough to do parkour.

Improve dismounts on lachees.

Add additional obsticles to home course.

Finish MBA.

Take the kids bouldering once a week for a year straight.

There's a lot more, but think they'll be saved for another post.

Anyways, cool site, look forward to tracking and gaining here.

We are constantly outdoors. My oldest pre my back injury started climbing with me. He climbs everything in sight now, he'll be seven soon and does our 14' rope climb with ease. I gotta work hard to keep up with him lol.
