Strong man is strong

The legendary John Gill (incredibly strong climber, father of modern bouldering, mathematician) has made a little video of himself exercising (aged 76).

A little gentle hiking, a round of pull-ups to warm-up, a few push-ups with his feet elevated, and then it's time to play ...

His website includes sections on bodyweight feats through history and interviews with senior athletes (and by "senior" he means "over 70").
