+1 for the “clean up and invite the mother in law over”. They love helping out, even when that means giving you an hour to yourself.I wrote this for a Dan John newsletter many years ago now. Hopefully you find it helpful: Training For New And Expecting Fathers
Hey guys,
First of all, congrats!
I'm interested and also thinking how my training will look in 2 months when I will become a father
I've been doing S&S since March and I own the 24kg for both swing and TGU. Definitely will continue and add a 32kg soon.
Beside this I do some barbell work at the gym atm which I won't do must probably in the near future.
Is S&S enough? I was thinking purchasing a Rogue Jammer for some pull/ups. I will have the bells for additional squats, presses, rows, only thing that I will miss with them is the pull ups.
It is pricey, I'm thinking is its necessary and worth the investment.
What do you think?
Thanks!
I love having a pull-up bar. I got one you drill into the studs of your wall for like 50-60 bucks on amazon. Worth every penny. Doing s and s also. And have a 4 month old. Congrats in advance my friend!Hey guys,

Another piece of advice, I guess. Try to get a time you can train consistently and get your wife to agree with you on it. Make whatever concessions necessary to be 100% responsibility free at that point in time. I begrudgingly get up at 4am to do my training. But this way I’m free in the evening with the family and can train guilt free for however long. I tried doing it after work at like 4pm but I could just FEEL the tension if the baby was crying or something and I’m like leisurely shaking my arms between sets of swings whistling and staring at the walls. No bueno. Lol.Hey guys,

Yeah, the newborn is too light
I agree with this (my 4th boy is 2 weeks old).@Jamesjones
I was able to keep my regular training going (5 days on / 2 off) for about 90 days after my twins were born, then I hit the wall pretty hard due to the sleep deprivation. In hindsight, I would have cut the volume by 50% and instead focused on better nutrition. Sleep deprivation will really mess with your cravings, things can get out of hand quickly and you will feel even worse!
