happy birthday

 

I'll take a SPoD with a side of elbows. Thanks for being you, my friend. You make the world that much better.

 

Thanks guys!

A few weeks ago in the smb/social_ruin birthday thread I suggested they commemorate their birthdays with 30 sets of 30 pushups. I posted in earnest because I figured those guys like to workout a bunch and it isn't everyday (for most of us) that you pump out 900 pushups. I say most of us because my local gym has legend of a former backup New Orleans Saints fullback who would do 1500 pushups with a 45lb plate on his back daily. Perhaps apochryphal, perhaps just how backup NFL fullbacks roll.

Anyway as often happens, I felt like kindof a hypocrite because it wasn't like I was going to do 900 pushups that day and I certainly wasn't on track to doing 38 sets of 38 pushups on my own upcoming birthday.

So I had this fabulous idea. Get on track to do 1444 birthday pushups. I looked this up on the internet and it's called Early Onset Midlife Crisis.

There's no real suspense here. I did the pushups. I wrote down the time and reps completed and generally gave myself two minutes for each set. I say generally because things started getting interesting in the final 1/3 as mind and matter conducted their negotiations. I was actually ready to give up at 1144, as Matter's Ambassador raised the spectre of long term injury. Their Finance Minister posited that 300 would be a burden on the economy. Towards the end, the Department of Water and Power saw to it that I would break a sweat inside of 20 pushups though it had been 45 minutes since my previous set. I knelt doggy style for 90 seconds at 1439. 90 seconds!

And 90 seconds doggy style is pretty fucking good.

Maybe by the time I hit 45 I'll be ready for 45 sets of 45 pushups with a 45lb plate on my back.

I'm thinkin situps next year though.

Peace fellas!

 

ahahah. i missed the suggestion, or i would have surely made that my b-day chest workout. Oh well, 31 sets of 31 next year it is.

congrats on 38 sets of 38 thats boss and half. and congrats on still playing VF. and happy birthday (belated of course).

 

My radar is picking up something... And it's old!


Congratulations. Bets of wishes for this and your future years.

 

Happy B-day Fred! Props on the inspiring and motivational workout. It takes mental toughness and self-discipline to push yourself like that and it sounds like you're still master of your dojo.
Looking forward to kicking it again at a future gathering, cracking jokes and bugging out with people like yourself makes for cool memories

 

Happy birthday! and GGs last night! sry i had to leave like that
