I am 53 years old and start doing exercises again. I am just doing them to stay fit or put more correctly to keep from deteriorating. I have been having problems with my right shoulder for years at night time when I am trying to sleep. I found out that when I do a few shoulder exercises in the evening I don't have the problem.

My primary health care giver has assigned me some exercises for certain joints. It's good that you're continuing to take care of yourself. Also, I'm thinking that these should be called middle-aged person exercises. We're not that old, yet.  |

I just sent for a new set of push up stands. The ones that I currently have I got at Walmart and I hate. I just started using wrist wraps tonite and so far they have worked out. I do push ups then squats then some resistance cable exercises then repeat for 3 sets.

 Got my new FUEL Push Up Stands today. The one on the left is one of my new stands. The one on the right is what I've been using GOLD'S GYM push up stands that I got at Walmart. They have an angle to them that I don't like and they slip on my tile floor. |

I think my arms have gotten bigger. I do my exercises at night before I get my shower.
Our doorways are 36 inches wide. I just found 2 different chin-up bars that should work. I'm going to send for one soon.

That's good, as long as you don't end up looking like Popeye. |

When I went into the navy they ask me if I wanted to change my name and I almost changed it to Popeye.
His arms are strange. His forearms are the biggest part.

I think it would have helped me out greatly in the navy.

 This is my new ULTIMATE BODY PRESS 2-Way Adjustable Doorway Pull Up Bar that I just assembled. I did have some problems with it seeming kind of warped in the doorway after the bolts were tightened. I hope I have it worked out now. Its probably not the bar. I doubt that anything in this place is plumb.  This is it from the other side.  These are the Ab Straps hanging on it. I also got the Push Up Rings which I hope to show you in a later post. |
