Pullups are probably my single favourite exercise, the best way to avoid the embarrassment is an isometric pull up. That way, if you fail on your first, it looks like it's exactly what you set out to do.

Just means you'll have to do a few more, cos nobody does just one iso then walks off.
A bit like stumbling for a few yards after you've tripped up.

This is how I walk.

I've got to start doing them really. There's an assisted pull up/dip thing like you pictured earlier where I go so it's not like I would collapse in a heap after one.

I hope.


Pissing down here, very unlikely to go for that run now!! [HASHTAG]#anyexcuse[/HASHTAG]

I wanted to start indoor climbing, I think I'd like it as I wouldn't get wet/cold... plus, if I fell off, I'd just hit the crash mat.

Supposedly brilliant for upper body and grip strength, but like you say, for whatever reason I always find an excuse not to go.

You still use a rope, as falling 50feet still hurts :)
Its good fun but I have not done it in years, on a good day could climb an E3
 
A rope wouldn't be necessary for me, as I'm scared of heights, so wouldn't go very high.

I'd probably freeze at anything over 20ft.

You still don't want to be falling off of anything from 20ft, even if you have crash mats below.
 
I work and play tons of sports hard , that pretty well takes care of me . I have a speed bag and a heavy bag at home I pound around every day . I'm pretty good with the speed bag . My biggest worry is eating and sleeping . I eat anything and sleep anywhere , from under a tree to back seats of cars at times , which can't be good . But I still feel good .

You play hard sports?
 
I've played a hundred seasons of various sports in my sporting career .. from Baseball to football to hockey to ball hockey to Broomball ( 24 seasons of full contact which is the one I've injured myself the most in . ) At almost 65 , I've fallen off to only ball hockey and Baseball these days , where I still make a diving catch here and there and run into the odd fence .

I'm not taking it personally, not about me its an observation about you...i know how you ramp it up when you want to make a point lol(like a bitch, may i add)....i just know you have been shoving that angle down Roofus's throat all week.
