i anticipate becoming a regular contributor to this thread in 2013

I, for one, look forward to your contributions to this thread as well as the general health population.

i can't wait until i can do a pullup

All are welcome here, thodoks.

between photography, sculpting my lats, and honing my turkey brining/smoking regimen, 2013 looks to be the year of thodoks

Strat would like to put 2012 behind him, sure.

go on...

t2b would like to put the last 2 weeks of flabbiness behind him.

Well we dont want to drag the past with us do we?

it works for me. *shrugs*

You wear your scares like a coat of armor, no doubt.

yeah, I'm pretty scary.

i actually wear my armor like a coat of scars though.

t2b, do you do any weight lifting/core exercises?

I usually do my "vanity" workout when I do treadmill work. Planks (both regular and side), sit-ups, push-ups, curls of some sort and lat pull-downs. Sometimes I'll substitute a swim for this, but my current gym has a shitty pool.
I wish you would actually post your runs/workouts.

i should consider doing some vanity planks sometime.

how far/long do you swim, when you have access to a good pool? i really wanted to incorporate more swimming into my routine, but i am not a gifted swimmer.

I usually do a mile or 34 laps (most pools are 25 feet not meters) in the pool. Usually takes me about 30 minutes. I'll occasionally say fuck counting laps and just swim for 45 minutes to an hour.

i usually doggy-paddle in place for 20 seconds

You must be a triathlete.
