@mn5 just wait till the penny drops for them that all that 'activity' is just prep for adult fun times!! the horror!! Almost as bad as the last Star Wars movie lol.
@JK reckon that's the ticket aye. Fit for life, whether the training is the absolute focus, or a key tool in enjoying the rest of your hobbies.
I hate douchebag Dads who take kids to the park and sit their fat asses on the bench playing on their phones. I vow never to be one of them, I'm always on the monkey bars or running round playing tag.
Sometimes my boys join me.
I was at a BBQ years back and witnessed a group of dads refusing to play footy with their sons despite them basically getting on their hands and knees and begging. It wasn't that they didn't love their kids, they were just really fat and unfit. Made a big impression on me and Ive made sure that I'm never that kind of dad. What kind of a role model are you if you're in your late 30s and have already gone to pie?
Hopefully it will have some kind of positive effect down the line.

It's not that hard to stay in ok shape.
But then I guess it's easy to turn to late with bad diet/inactivity too.....

Hard work playing with the kids at times. Im actually glad summers almost over as my lad is a cricket fanatic and demands I bowl to him every night after work. Would usually get 10 to 15 overs in most times and weekends are another story altogether.
The wife and I actually went away for a weekend without the kids a few weeks back and when we came back he had taught the 5 year old how to bowl and shes actually dam good. Took a bit out of my workload thats for sure

A lot of head high full tosses mate. And on an extended run up meaning half way down the track. Doesn’t give me much time to deal with it but I reckon it’s gotta be good for him. Should find a vid as they are crack up!

@jk that'd be gold - tell her to keep up the high stuff, then fire in a yorker. Sounds like her approach is either hit him in the head or the nuts!!
Good luck for the golf - who is your pick to win? I hear Goldie on RS this morning backing Rahm. He thought McIlroy and Reed were playing ok but not as hot today. But a quick glance at the leaderboard shows Reed with a 2 shot lead and McIlroy has dropped off the pace.
Man, the Masters is such a cool event.

We've been doing a bit more shoulder focused stuff lately- must check out the cable variations, I remember face pulls being primo and providing a sick burn if you can get the form right. Off that list of what you trained today what's your favourite/must have exercise?
We did arnold shoulder press last night. oh what a pump!

@jk ha ha love it when the metal soundtrack kicks in! Leaning on the rack etc is a good idea, wonder if that helps avoiding a shrug as part of the movement, so you keep things isolated.
