I've not been posting every night, but I have been doing 4 count flutter kicks every day this week.

25 per day.

They are getting easier.

Might have to increase the count per day in November.

Got done with training class early today.
Decided to work out.

So far I've completed curls at 70x15, 80x10, and 90x10.  135x3 and 185x5 flat bench.  Let's see if 225x10 is in the FOV.

The answer is

I haven't slack off lately, just really busy.

Been doing more flutter kicks in the evenings, and now, throughout the month of November, am doing 30 4-count flutter kicks instead of 25 4-counts.

I'm going to be pretty busy through the middle of December.

So far I have averaged 30 4-count flutter kicks every day in November.

Some days have been 2 sets, some 1, and some zero.

But I'm keeping on the path to do the entire month as I have wanted.

completed more flutter kicks last night.

My goal for December is a daily routine of at least 35 4-counts.

Last night I completed 45 4-counts.

Doing these and V-ups, plus a plank here and there is working.

I have followed this thread for years, and I joined it many times only to drop out. At the beginning of this year I didn't even consider looking at it. But for some reason in August, I finally got sick of it and decided to do something about my health. Here is my progress between August 16th and today. Looking forward to making more progress throughout next to year.

only 1 visible picture, but definitely keep up the good work Rusty Carbine.

My wife took a picture of me today after we did some yard work pulling up a bunch of offending tall grass/reeds and such.

my waist line looked awful.

so, tonight, 40x 4-count flutter kicks and 3 sets of 50 pushups since about 2100.

I'm gonna get the f*** after it in 2026.
