SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

I'm a full instructor for reality-based self-defense (Rich Dimitri's Senshido) and military combatives.

The approach to fitness I like best (and which I deem to be most effective) is "prison calisthenics" (hundreds of reps in basic exercises like pushups, squats, dips, pullups, Navy seals, etc) and old-school isometrics.

I'll be celebrating my 54th birthday this year, but I can honestly say that I can keep up (most of the time) with students that are 10 to 20 years younger. I attribute that to the methods I'm using.

 Did the BW routine for a very long time.  I found it caused me more inflammation and irritation of joints than just lifting a heavy weight, especially when combined with all the articulation from training.  So I suspect like many things what is best will vary from person to person.

Congrats! I'm finally getting back into calisthenics (not just endlessly talking about it) after the Army. So, it's been forever. I power lifted for a while, but never got really strong. I'm hoping calisthenics will be a nice addition to the walking/rucking/bicycling I do. I zone out when doing cardio (I think of the best setting ideas!) and feel great the rest of the day.

I can't do shit for pushups these days, but if I stick to it I should be okay in another month or two. If not, then I'll borrow doing pushups from Pavel's writing - basically do them all the time in small increments. Greasing the groove.
Running: HarnMaster, Barbaric 2E!, and EABA.
