I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

Beth:
Thanx I will start this tonight.:bow:
I don't mean to be dense, but I have a question on #2:
Do you mean 4 and 8 not 10 and 2? If I am standing with my arms at 10 and 2, I have to lower them to be parallel to the floor. I presume this is done with straight arms that are kept in-line with the shoulders. So I'm flapping my arms from below shoulder height to shoulder height, right? Or is it from above my head down to shoulder height?
How often do you do these: every night, on non-swim days, every other night regardless of other training?
I'm not sure how to explain it! I wish I could draw a diagram! Pretend there is a clock wrapped around your body and parallel to the the floor....like an innertube around your waist. You want to bring your hands, with straight arms, out in front of your body parallel to the 10:00 and 2:00 times. Does that help? Don't hesitate to ask for clarification again if it doesn't. You definitely need to do these right so you won't hurt yourself!
I do these every other day.
