Read this article today and it was pretty awesome. 70 year old man out-doing the young'ns with pull ups....this is the shape I want to be in at that age. Thought you all might enjoy reading (I wonder if he uses kettlebells?)

A couple of years ago I decided to throw the discus and shot put in the state games of NC.  I was in the masters, 30-35 division.  There were about 30 athletes total in the masters (everybody over 30).  There was a man in his 70's who threw All American numbers that day in the discus, and out threw everyone there.  Strong, smooth, effortless.  I asked how long he'd been throwing, and he said since he was 9.   Maybe I'll do something for 60 years, and make it look as easy as he did.

LOL, yeah Dan's a beast and he's been doing this sort of thing for a while.  Great guy!  I'll ask regarding the KB's but I have a feeling that he doesn't use them.

Watching that video I have to say those kids had very bad form. A number of them, well most of them actually, weren't going all the way down and I noticed they also were barely bringing the chin above the bar.
