Since today is my 48th birthday, meaning I am rapidly closing in on the dreaded half century mark, I thought it would be appropriate to inject 50 pull ups, push ups and dips into the front of my work out. I have been laying off pull ups for around a month because of some left forearm issues. I was glad knocking out 50 reps didn’t seem to carry a big pain penalty in the forearm although I could certainly tell I have not been working the movement like I normally do.
I already gave my thoughts about growing old in my main blog so no need to repeat them here. Let’s just say I don’t have a very mature perspective about it.
