Fucking Nike, and the Uyghers just nod in forced agreement. There has got to be a better and more free option out there. SKOL!
I am disappointed in myself for real. Should have got more recs on here
China counts on your blind loyalty and they appreciate your business! No SKOL for you! aha
You'll do physics? That doesn't sound like a physical activity that will get you warmed up. Must be studying entropy, enthalpy, or heat transfer or something that gets you fired up.
Lmao. EditedYou'll do physics? That doesn't sound like a physical activity that will get you warmed up. Must be studying entropy, enthalpy, or heat transfer or something that gets you fired up.
Getting a warmup in now on the treadmill, then into the weights. Thinking today is a pull day mostly. Lat pulls, pull ups, rows, etc, then mix in some leg stuff. Did squats yesterday, so maybe some weighted lunges and farmers walk today. Not sure what else yet.
Impressive forum post on the treadmill
I actually have a rowing machine too, but I haven't really thought of doing it as a warmup. I like that though and may do that next time. I typically just do it as a part of a workout. 30 minutes on there is a lot!
The 30 minute thing I don’t do much. If my workout is to run a 5k, I do it on the rower. Stuff like that
I typically just walk or do a light jog on the treadmill to get the blood flowing, but I think the rower would warm up the whole body. Thanks for the tip!

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate
Train harder, get stronger, work out longer and see better results with 1st Phorm’s Creatine Monohydrate.1stphorm.com
I bought this because I had a hard time finding creatine at all (supply chain) but it's been worth every penny. It's super fine so if you breath into it too hard it will blow out the container but it mixes perfectly. There is not gritty or graininess at all, something that cheaper options typically have.
It's so nice that I will look at other products from them. Yes they are expensive but so far it's worth it to me.
Skipped the workout today to do some upgrades to my planter in the back yard. Hopefully back into it tomorrow.
Whats your daily/weekly schedule for working out?
I know this wasn’t direct at em but I’m answering anyways.
Question applies to everyone. Can you expand on what your routine is on those different days? Don't have to get into too much detail if you don't want to, but what do you do on those lifting days? How long is a typical workout, and how many different exercises do you do? Do you combine back and biceps on one day, then chest and triceps on another day? Legs another day?
Strength training is by far my highest priority. Maintaining muscle mass as you age has many benefits. I lift “heavy” 3-4 days a week, depending on the program. For cardio, I push or pull weighted sleds, walk with a weighted vest, or jump rope. I do this 3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes or for distance (e.g. 2 mile walk with a 40# vest).
You jump rope for 30-45 minutes straight? Thats beast mode if true
Yep, the older you are the more warmed up you need to be. When lifting, I spend 15-20 minutes warming up before I begin my lifting warmup sets. I’ve done many different types of warmups over the years but my latest and favorite is the Wenning warmup by power lifter Matt Wenning.
No. Sorry. I usually start my workouts with a 3 minute jump. Then, sometimes, I’ll jump for 5-10 minutes after a lift. On off days, I’ve jumped up to 20 minutes with stops. I strive for different jumps like sprints, high knees, double unders, etc. I am ok with a rope but definitely wouldn’t be mistaken for a boxer.
Good stuff, I'll check out that program, thanks! Also in the same boat on HBARSure, I am doing this program now: https://www.barbellmedicine.com/shop/training-templates/powerbuilding-iii-template/
I only use their programs, mostly because they work for me and I'm used to their methodology of sets, reps, exercises, etc.
I've purchased just about all of their programs and I've liked them all.
They have a free program so you can see how they structure stuff: https://www.barbellmedicine.com/the-bridge/
They are barbell based workouts so the it's one main lift a day (Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Overhead Press) along with supplemental lifts. Each day would be considered "full body" for this program. They do have a bodybuilding focuses template which is more muscle group focused.
Each workout is around 45-60 minutes, some of the higher end volume days will probably push past 60 but those only last a week or two.
I do bis, tris, abs, and calves on my cardio days. I prioritize those over doing the cardio because, well abs and calves > cardio.
My warmup is doing whatever lift I'm doing up to my working sets. I don't do any typical warm up or stretch, I literally just do my lift to warm up. It works well for me and I know how to structure it so I'm warmed for my lifts. No cooldown either, I workout at 5:00 am so by the time I'm done, my son is up and needing breakfast, as am I so I take my shoes off and start cooking. I've never had any injury or strain or anything like that so I'm not concerned about it from that standpoint. I lift in my garage which has a barbell, plates, some bands, curl bar, adjustable dumbbells, and some pads I made to do deficit deadlifts, etc. off of. Once HBAR pops off I'll buy more stuff
When you went keto, or cut out carbs, did it screw with your heart at all? I did that a while back, and lost weight fairly quickly, which was good, but it seems like it made my heart have palpitations sometimes.
Here is a sample of my workouts. I think there is a total of 5. With my 1st Phorm app I can set the type of workout. In my case I go to the gym vs at home. They have several programs based on what you want to do (strength, general lifting, cardio, CrossFit, etc.) plus beginner, intermediate, or advanced. I’m sure others are similar. Important thing is to select what YOU want to do.
To add to this, waist measurement would be the "one" if you are going to do measurements.
I did some shoulder press stuff, maybe 30 minutes. A little light headed, a little out of breath, but all good. I started mostly feeling better yesterday as reference
Hell yeah dude looking good.
I think you're doing the right thing. Doing whatever training you can while being aware of how your body is responding to it.
