The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

I’d never pay for nutrition advice. There’s enough online and I’ve learned enough to get me where I am. I’d rather invest my money in someone to cook and prepare what I need to eat. That would add value to my life, but those are just pipe dreams

 

Agree.

Granted, when I first started I wish I had someone just for the simple fact I didn't research at all. If I ever compete I'd want a coach who does nutrition... Know when to add or pull carbs fats etc would be invaluable to me... Or when to add a cheat meal, etc etc.

For what the average person does now, meh. Agree plenty of info online.

 

It’s just been hard for me to find the perfect balance of fats, carbs and proteins and what foods to cook to get em all in. There is a ton of info online and wouldn’t mind someone just breaking it down for me and getting me a diet lined out. I overthink shit.

 

If y’all need a training video for cycling this is great

I feel the same.

Plus when you get really into it, there are multiple different diet philosophies and theres no one diet for all people.
You have to be willing to try different approaches and find out what fits your individual mold.
No expert is going to be able to provide you with that information. Your body will not respond the same way someone elses will with the same diet.

It would be nice to have someone use voodoo magic to tell you what and how to eat so your body responds in the most ideal way.
Truth is, that doesn’t exist.


Never be afraid to try something new and be willing to try something new to test it out. If you get yourself in the same ol same ol nutrition wise you get yourself in the same ol same ol body lol

 

Ran 1.5mi at just over an 8 minute mile pace yesterday. Had to drive 150miles one way for a fucking treadmill.

 

Can’t just run outside?

 

No sir. We just got a foot of snow, it started melting and then froze over again, very crusty and slick!
I normally don’t run because I am lazy but it was for an employer pt test.

 

Do they plow the streets up there? or are there no streets?

 

Only the portion vehicles drive on. Not shoulders. With the amount of idiots around I’m not going to risk anything. There are a lot of sidewalks but they’re buried currently.

 

We're in the melt freeze time and it sucks for running with puddles everywhere.

 

Quarantine gains

 

Yeah I agree. I avoid running on roads. I know people have been hit by cars.

I’ve run on ice and mild snow (yak tracks are the bomb) but cant do a foot of snow.

 

Caught a pretty awesome push/pull pump at home today by getting crafty with a yeti cooler, my shooting sandbags, a couple bottle jacks, and my carport rafters. High reps and tempo make easy things hard. Keep moving people.

 

Also...

me: tried to do push-ups

my dog every single set:

 

Made a 20 lb medicine ball today using an old basketball, a bag of sand, and a roll of gorilla tape.

 

We’re going to be the fittest zombie slayers around.

 

I’m about to go for a jog. Or maybe a yog. I think it’s a soft J. I don’t know.

 

Not enough jiggling to be me
