Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I'm in the same boat bro. I can pan in miles and miles, but I've got all the upper body strength of a wet fart.
Keep going though bro. Today nine; legs tomorrow; ten on Tuesday. Same thing next week. Eleven, on Sunday, twelve on the following Tuesday.
If you want some advice that's more than "do more, bro" then check out Shaun T's Insanity or Focus T25. I loved those programmes and I developed arms and chest more than I ever did do half-arsing weights or resistance machines.
Nail it bro.
Just remember your diet while doing it. Nothing worse than training without the diet pegged. Treat yourself to your protein of choice. It’s both necessary and delicious!
My diet is a random mix of beer, roast beef, ham, cheese, and beer. Oh, did I mention the beer?
LOL, I did manage to get 10 pushups in tonight at least..
I vote you add some beans for fiber (huevos rancheros are pretty bomb for breakfast). When you drink, alternate drinking beers with waters, ideally with a low-sugar electrolyte mix. In college, I would just finish a beer, walk to the sink, fill the can or bottle with water, and drink it again - I always ask myself why I stopped doing that.
Also, you said bmx is your main hobby. I assume the mechanics are somewhat similar to riding dirt bikes, which I'm more familiar with. You probably actually have some pretty decent pushing strength from holding yourself up on your handlebars, but have trouble expressing it at end range because you never spend any time there. I would bet that after a couple workouts, your nervous system will get used to it and your push up capacity will shoot up.
If you wanna turn this into an ongoing thing, I recommend Pavel Tsastouline's program The Naked Warrior
I'm just gonna drop a couple links here from 2012, this is literally me..

Memories!! Gahhhh! I haven't touched a bike in like 20 years but I used to love doing flatland!
I haven't given up yet!
Apparently I just need to take my time getting back into it and somewhat slow my pace.
There's more on my YT channel though if it interests you.
I was sorta joking about my diet, that's just basically what I've eaten in the past couple days. I love diversity in my meals and generally hate eating the same thing even two days in a row.
One day I might want pizza, another I might want a burger, another I might want a salad and yogurt...
I've found diversity in diet yields diversity on the throne LOL! 🚽
Yeah man.
I mean, they say you can't outrun a bad diet.
It's fun trying though!
I mean to say, if you don’t maintain proper macros, you’ll never cease being sore. Your body can pull protein from elsewhere but it gets dicey after a while
