Hey man👊. It’s great to get a comment from someone new, so thanks a lot for taking a second to do that! I just had a look at your channel and I’m sure that sandbag hike was a great workout. As for the consistency piece, I think that’s pretty common for us all. It certainly is for me man. Even for the people who show or seem like they’ve got it all together. I’d say they have their tough days too. Anyway, thanks again for checking out the channel. Much appreciated👊.

I’ve reluctantly added pull-ups back into the lineup. I use to have to do 40lb weighted pull-ups when i was on the team for out PT test. When I quit that, I also quit the pull-ups. Never been good at them. Since I’m working out for me now, I’m using a band and getting back at em.

Hey Eugene man👊. Thanks for the question! Here’s the long answer haha. After I reached level 4 there back in December and got the brown t-shirt, I’ve definitely moved on to other types of training. I don’t think I’ve done a 20 minute workout since🤦‍♂️haha. I don’t have any immediate plans to record the 20 minute BDP workouts, but I do think that I will attempt to reclaim those level 4 numbers as the summer time approaches. June and into July month I’d say👍. I really enjoyed the challenge of pushing myself for those numbers but I personally don’t enjoy doing those workouts week in and week out. But you know Eugene, I really do appreciate you saying that you enjoyed those vids👍!! They were a lot of fun to record and put together so I’m glad at least yourself enjoyed them haha. Aside from the BDT vids, are there any other types of videos or topics you’d like me to do? If so, feel free to let me know and I’ll see what I can come up with. Thanks again brother👊💯!

Just for a laugh. Most flight out of Canada fly into Manchester, North of you. I couldn’t find any direct into stoke. I’d prob have to check local UK airlines for those shorter flights. Anyway it was about $2,000 Canadian for the round trip haha. So a little out of the realm of possibility right now. My wife and I will take the kids to Scotland when they get a bit older and are able to remember it. I do realize that’s a hell of a lot further north from where you are👍. For now I’ll take my vacation to the sunny southern locations. Just curious though, how long a drive is it from Manchester to Stoke?

@@SimonTrageser I know you love running, as do I. I wish I still could, and I agree those that can should. But running only trains one aspect of fitness, and it really doesn't do that well. Running will get you an "A" in running. For something to be a basic functional training exercise it's got to deliver at least "C's", but, hopefully, some "B's" across all aspects . If we're talking calisthenics that's going to be Burpee variation, and, maybe, Mt. Climbers. If we're allowing equipment that would be odd object carries.
