welcome back! and congrats on the third (and final, lol) kid. my wife and i are starting to try to have our first and i'm trying to pack in some races and other stuff this year before that takes and we've got a little whippersnapper around to take care of.

it is amazing that this place is still going. adarq hasn't signed in since august 2023. as vag once put it, it seems like he's "loved up" and living his dream life on his little farmstead in florida. although, i stopped using instagram and facebook a while ago so i'm not even sure how he's doing. should check in, come to think of it. anyway, huge shoutout to him for letting us keep coming here.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Thanks, good luck with it. I love being a dad and my kids are great but yeah, it definitely keeps you so busy that exercise usually gets squeezed out of the weekly schedule often. So that's wise to fit in a few bucket-list athletic achievements before it happens for you!

Training update: I've stoped running as much because the weather is shifting (not winter yet, but a bit wetter), and I also joined a gym after a ~5 year gap. One of the parents I know owns a small chain of 24h places and offered me a decent price, so it just felt like a sign to get back to weight lifting a bit.

Over the past few weeks I've been doing a pretty easy program:

Day1: Cardio warmup (5 mins on step machine and 1000m row machine), 4x10 squat / 45 deg back ext 3x10 / single leg on the leg ext machine, ham machine / SL calf raise w/KB and core exercises

Day2: Cardio, BSS 3x10/leg / 45 deg back ext 3x10 / calf and core exercises

Day3: Cardio, 5x5 squat / 45 deg back ext 3x10 / single leg on the leg ext machine, ham machine / SL calf raise w/KB and core exercises

I'm sticking with the squat and 45 deg back extension as primary exercises. I'm not messing around with deadlifts, or much upper body really. BSS is mostly a mid-week break from squatting. I actually feel pretty good and not too weak: I'm at about 80kgs for 4x10 and ~90kgs for 5x5 - a fair way off my best but I think I can get back to ~130-140kg 1rm with a few months of work. I'm keen to try a bit of jumping once my strength is back.  :ninja:
