I have a massive risk averse nature and our current changing future (at work) fills me with fear TBH, some of it is just the way things are but I think we’re taking unnecessary risks.

Sounds like a boys night out in Blackpool is needed to talk it through.

No Spoons though. Don’t live in Spoons, its a way of life (non-life) for some.

I saw something a few days ago extending those if you can do this you’ll live longer\forever etc.!

This was a dead hang as a guide to grip strength and forearms etc., 30 seconds sounded alright, 60 for our age was excellent apparently. Anyway, had a quick go today and got to about 50 seconds. But, I’d done upper arm weights last night with slightly heavier weights, and had also been on the exercise bike so my hands were sweaty and slipping.

Going to give it another go in a few days.

Good for decompressing your back as well. Especially for us office sitters.

Yes, also heard that.

I did that as part of a competitive/fun challenge in the gym. I managed just over 4 minutes, only beaten by one of the trainers by about 20 seconds. Still burns to this day, I could have had him had i known his time :joy:

Regular climbing helps with that particular challenge. That’s not always so good for longevity though :slightly_smiling_face:

Anna would probably hang for ages as well! A few others are climbers on here?

They’re probably not trying to hold up 76kg’s though :hippopotamus:
