Did a 5K on ol’ skinny tonight. Not the 1st (I think it’s actually the 2nd) but it was brutal. I did walk the 1st 2 1/2 minutes since that’s what I do on the big one, and after the run I walked a 3 minute cooldown. Photos r of the completed 5K, and then post - cooldown.

9/30 Back home & back to reality. Last Tues I nearly broke my left elbow doing this inclined dumbell benchpress. Here I risk it again. Left arm still wobbled on 2nd rep. I think it’s time to accept that this is as far as I may get working out solo with no spotter physical trainer or steroids. #gbear

9/28 Early trip to the airport. Alone in tram from BART station to OAK, in the center seat beside a dude who shut the windows and noisily ate a full meal, back home on the bus from BNA. Overall a great trip. Brief and expensive but I needed the release.

9/27 Late night clubbing after Folsom. Had to make my customary pilgrimage to #LoneStarSaloon where a number of people were nice and talked to me. I met Brett, an insta buddy, & Kieth & his partner Patrick, & their friend Rick. They took us to the #EagleSf where we had even more fun. #gbear

The actual Street Fair. Had a blast. Spent too much money at Mr. S, had buyer’s regret and returned 1 item. Didn’t shop anywhere else but had a blast. Even ran into my buddy Anthony. Briefly. #gbear

9/26 Time for Folsom at last! On the bud headed to the airport, layover at Long Beach’s tiny airport, taking portable stairs to the plane. I entered from the rear. Giggity. Also it was the smoothest flight I’ve ever flown. Kudos to the pilots of Southwest flight 4152!

9/22 With less than a week till Folsom I decided to try the treadmill’s built in workouts. The 5K one burns 500 cal so hoped it would get me nice and lean. #gbear

Added 5s to the 100s and managed 1 measly rep. A few months ago I could do 5 of these without the armband sling thingie. Embarrassing. 🤦🏿‍♂️ #gbear

9/20 Got some new 10s for my dumbells. Helps a tad with balance but not much. Another attempt at crossovers. #gbear

9/20 Single arm pull down. Not sure if I’m doing it right. It almost feels 2 easy. It’s the same weight I use for the double arm pull-downs, just split. #gbear

9/19 So I’ve decided to do away with “heavy” squats. I feel my thighs are already too thick and all my progress seems to go to my legs anyway. Trying to save some fuel for my arms. Here’s regular squats with 190 lbs. #gbear

9/15 Started doing 400 cal runs in prep for Folsom. #gbear

9/15 1st attempt with the 100 lb weights since my injury. Long prep for 2 feeble reps but 🤷🏿‍♂️ #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

9/15 Terrible attempt at dumbell crossovers. Total 65 lbs each, but I don’t have enough 10s so had to double up 5s. The 16” dumbells really came in handy but I still sucked at this #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

9/15 Overhead tricep extension with dumbell. The weights may look impressive but they’re just ginormous 20 lb plastic ones. 45 lbs total. And yes my form sucks. #gbear

So I got a backlog of fitness clips & pix to post. Some require editing which is why I haven’t posted yet. Btw I got new 16” dumbells to replace the 14” ones since on one of them the handles growing narrower. Weird. #Gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Long rant here so I’m posting a clip from insta that no one will read. Hey @bsky.app don’t freak out and suspend me! Posting the usual thirst-ish photos too. 😒🙄 #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

My 1st time lifting “heavy” since injuring my shoulder little over a month ago. Embarrassing. Also, I don’t like the way my shoulder felt afterwards. 😒 Sorry so much of it is preparation for 2 measly reps but I’m no good at editing. #gbear

Sorry for being a downer but gosh, this certainly adds a certain sense of finality. He just wanted to come home and leave that awful hospital. Well, he’s home now.

Got a 2nd weight loading pin so now I can work each arm independently. Not great at it yet & starting light. Still busted my left shoulder. I didn’t work out Saturday & hoped 3 days would help it heal. Evidently everyday motions screwed that up & this morning’s workout finished it off. Crap. #gbear

Hey @bsky.app don’t freakin’ suspend me again. This is actually me. Here’s a brand new typical “thirst” pic as proof. I just got a lot to say, too much for 180 characters.

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

2 things. 1st: I’m back after being suspended 4 posting 2 much about my dying partner & not my usual so-called thirst traps. 2nd: this is NOT a thirst trap. I’m even wearing modesty shorts. Just posting this 155 lb bench press since last week I couldn’t even lower 135 lbs let alone press it. #gbear

Another “funny” (euphemism for “long”) story.

A funny story… actually it’s not so much funny as it is long. You see…

Finally cracked 300 lbs… once… assisted by arm band/sling thingie. 😒 still it’s a record for me. And considering my arms have been shit the past 2 weeks; shocking. This btw was the 3rd set… of 1 rep each. 😒 Also, yes it’s a long video for 1 rep but I was too lazy to edit so 🤷🏿‍♂️ #gbear

Did 5K Mon & again Thu. Nearly skipped tonight. Did plod onto ol’ skinny 4 1.25 m @ 5 mph; no incline, standard for ol’ skinny. Officially made up last week’s deficit but didn’t feel like it tonight. I think my body’s acclimated to & neutralized the cpap benefits. My body tends to do that. 😒 #gbear

My new bench and cable handles allowed for me to do this preacher curl variation. I don’t know if this is considered cheating but it’s less harsh on my left elbow and I seem to feel it more in my biceps (which means I was probably doing it wrong before.😒) Also, not a flattering angle. 😝 #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Was 2 runs short last week so did a 5k yesterday. Was supposed to do another today but couldn’t get myself up. Not a good sign but oh well. Did 1.25 miles but at 5% incline. Only 5.9 mph but at that incline it feels like a 10k. 😝 #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Last week was rough. Had so many appts it screwed up my workouts & I only got 1 regular run & 1 5K. Gained 2 pounds. At least the last appt. was 4 my cpap. I do wake up more refreshed. That’s nice. Still getting used to it, especially the sore nose. This week’s started better at least. #gbear

Leg extensions from yesterday’s full body workout on the new bench. A bit different from the old one but feels more like the one at the gym. I gained 2 pounds this week btw. Was a shitty week that killed my workout schedule & only got 3 out of 5 runs. Had planned a 5K today but screw it.🤷🏿‍♂️ #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Here’s some leg curls using the attachment. Taking some getting used to since it has extra rollers that tend to roll me forward. Going to have to figure out a ‘sweet spot’ I guess. #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Finally got a new workout bench with leg accessory. It didn’t come with a preacher curl attachment but luckily my old one fit it. Here I am doing crunches on it. I tried sit-ups later but they were disastrous so I’ll have to figure out another method. #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

Feeling good after 8 hrs on cpap. Only ran once this week so 5K to make up. Gotta do another tomorrow though. 😒 #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Btw this was from over the weekend. Only ran 3 times last week & wasn’t proud of Saturday dinner so did a 5K. With my appts + hubby’s I only ran once this week so more 5Ks in my future yea. 🙄 Behind on overall workouts too. Double yea. 🤦🏿‍♂️ #gbear

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

And so it begins. After nearly 6 months of dragging their feet and a long day of appointments, I only got 5 hours. Way too soon to tell of it’s a cure-all for chronic fatigue and it will take some getting used to but oh well, here goes.

Reggie X🔜… MWBF @gbear285xxx.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Finally updated my gym a bit. Got a new cheap bench (not pictured) and some new handles for the pulley cables. Face Pulls here. Couldn’t do this exercise before but now I have the room. Starting small to get adjusted to it. Form’s atrocious; I know. First try, okay? Sue me. 😝 #gbear

Any local bears doing Whispering Oaks Campground this weekend? I’m thinking of going. I haven’t been ages. Of course I can only go Saturday after working the previous night so I’ll be half dead but I’m in the midst of a painful bear event dry spell and about to lose my mind. Should I go?

Didn't run last night & wasn’t in the mood 4 a 5K tonight so this morning I ran 2.5K, or 1.5 miles. I also ripped the sole of one of my shoes during the 2nd lap & had to run the last lap with that loose tread flapping under me oh well... Ran my usual 1.5 miles tonight on the treadmill btw. #gbear
