Isaac doing some exercises...

After the success of the "Isaac-presses" I have tried to broaden Isaac's exercise regimen....



Here we tried some "weighted" jumping on the roof, (it was weighted b/c that little mane-fro is worth more than 5 lb ankle weights)
































CHECK OUT THE VERTICAL!!!










Like I said, 5 maybe 10 pounds...


Well after his mama made us cut his hair(in a non-mullet-esque hair do) the weighted jumping lost its effectiveness. So we moved to a more routine exercise...



I know what you're thinking, pullups at his age may be a little advanced, or maybe your thinking why his father is letting him hang on his own several feet above the ground. Let me just say I was responsibly spotting him the whole time(keyword being responsible) and...

...his mom let him do the same thing, so there. In fact it was her idea, she put ME up to it.(alright that may be stretching the truth a bit.. but still she was an accomplice, after all who do you think took the 1st picture????) Anyways, as you can see he had some trouble with the whole pulling his whole body weight up so we decided to move to a machine and help him work up to his whole body wieght-that's right-bring on the lat pull downs:





In the video I drift back so you can see the 10 lb plate he's pulling. Yes I saw he was cheating a bit on the counting which is why we had to go all the way to 15. As for the 11 - 15, I didn't teach him that directly. Kid is a sponge everything you say is coming out at some time or another.

Overall I think he is coming along nicely in his progress as a UNC linebacker class of '29. Now I have to start planning the mo-hawk and one word linebacker name for his jersey. Reed has dibs on Clank, but maybe Hammer or Wedge. Oh well still got a few years before i have to submit the paperwork for the official name change.

I didn't think they made gyms for two year olds. He's very advanced!
