5. 30 min (barely!) Core and rehab.

[monkoffunk]

2. Strength and conditioning. Bicep curls, squat/shoulder-press, bent row, single leg RDL with 6kg dumbbells. Plus push ups. Finished with 4x 10s body weight hangs on a flat jug. Zero pull ups this month. Yoga. Pronator teres rotations evening.
3. Brisk walking with toddler on shoulders and pram+baby. Yoga. Another simple weights session. Few easy exercises from Al Kavadlo’s pistol squat progression. Elbow PT exercises + pronator teres rotations.

Lots of snacks, no booze, but only two more days of Christmas left so snacks will be gone soon.

Bit late to this one...
1 - breezy walk up to Point Lynas
2 - an hour of pretty vigarous housework.
3 - 3 hr session at Preston wall, mostly on the ropes

Baby in a sling seems to be my new thing…

Amazing, I never thought about utilising this ever increasing weight belt when ours were young!

It’s something that I always wanted to do after my 70 year old relative could shoulder press my 40kg niece having done it regularly as she grew. I could barely pick her up!

I’m trying to think of extra exercises if anyone has any recommendations! I’ve added scapular pull-ups today.

Great work, you'll be a fucking wad by the time they're a toddler!

Once they're too big for a sling, I find if you're ever on the floor children always want to climb on top of you, which really helps get deeper into a stretch.

Hope the start of dad life is treating you well 

That’s the plan! Need to put the fingerboard up in the Kitchen and then I can do my normal climbing warm up and hangs as part of it too. Maybe one day I will one arm hang them….

Dad life is great so far. Got another week off work, then the real shock will hit!

Day 4:
More pull ups, push ups and one arm scapula pull ups.

40 mins board session. 3 new problems added. Thought they would be hard ones but went down okay in the end.

Day 5
Pull ups and push ups
20 mins walk run

5 - building home wall for the small child, fun but will doubtless increase the rate at which I get left in the dust…

Ha! Doubtful Nik! Hope the build goes well!

Parkrun with brother-in-law this morn, good start to the year. Cleared out the remaining Christmas leftovers from the fridge, though still going on the homemade mince pies, too good not to.

Aim to start a week's trial at the independent crossfit-style gym my wife goes to, in the next day or so, with the aim of working on the gaps left by climbing and running and just feeling stronger/healthier overall.

Day 2
30 min rainy walk to nursery and back in the morning.
5k run loop to/from the gym (first time in about 20 years) this eve, had a good 1h strength training session. Keen to get stuck in over the next few weeks and see some progress. Mostly used light weights and focused on technique.
Was quite restrained with food, though still working through sister-in-law's homemade Christmas cake.

Day 3 - very wet 1h walk school/nursery run. 1h30 indoor boulder session.

4. 1h walk school/nursery run. 5k run loop to/from gym, 1h strength session. Really enjoyed.

5. Just the 1h school/nursery walk today. And currently doing a bit of stretching.

6. 15 min jog to gym then a 1h beasting. Loved it. Went for a coffee after and managed to avoid the pastries.

6. It was gorgeous out, so 2-and-a-bit hours walking the loop from the bottom of Burbage Valley up to Carl Wark, Higgar Tor, Burbage Bridge and back down the Green Drive.

Low-key fingerboard session on the Ergo edge, just trying to re-accustom my fingers to the idea that fingerboarding is something we do again. And see what makes my elbow grumpy (I'm currently trying to work out if it's tendonosis yet or still tendonitis, and therefore whether I should be trying to rehab and stress it in the right ways or rest it and cool it down).
