The workout thread(Weighlifting/Running)

Stay with it and don’t worry about the numbers.

 

Honestly am not. Still feels good to hit a level youve not seen on over half your life.

 

just being active is all that matters everything else is just pissing Match stuff.

 

Wife ran New Orleans half marathon this weekend............

I got jambalaya and a king cake made by a downtown New Orleans bakery out of it, so everyone wins.

 

@Volst53 did you squat low bar? I’m thinking of making switch.

 

I mix them up. Throw in some Zercher squats too.

 

What sort of Kegel routines are you guys doing these days?

I'll put 2 coconuts up there and walk around a couple of hours

 

I do NYY Squats.

 

Yeah that’s how I back squat. I use a milk crate for depth on them.

 

I gave them a try on some warm up sets and just felt so weird. I’m sure I’d grow accustomed to it. Either way, I want to gravitate to less depth.

 

at gym yesterday and saw a guy that I hadn't seen at his regular time. He had the widow maker heart attack a month ago. 55 years old, benching 225 for reps, had all the pre tests done, ate well, non drinker and smoker. Felt like he was gonna pass out, stopped the car and fell out in middle of the street. He was dead when they arrived. 21 days in icu, 35 lbs lost and he's back home. Scary.

 

I know a guy that had that heart attack. Same thing, slim as a rail, doesn't drink or smoke, mountain climbs. BAM, widow maker. Luckily he was with people and they were near a hospital. He is fine now.

 

I had the same thing happen, except it was for a poop.

 

I got the dumbass idea I’d start running again.

I’m just going to run twenty minutes a day twice a week. I’m not going to set a distance, so I don’t get addicted to running again.

I did a little over two miles today and my legs are feeling it.

 

I prefer using time over distance to start out or start back.

 

Anyone here ever done a sugar fast?

 

I did a chicken/raw veggies/water/boiled egg 17 day cleanse a couple years ago. It served its purpose, but I've yet to want to do it again. Sugar is my nemesis.

 

I intermittently fast.

16 hours plus fasting period followed by 2 meals in that variable 8 hour window.
