The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Dante Trudel has probably forgotten more than I could wish to ever know. Fuckin goldmine.

 

I may have to give it a try if the dextrose stuff bothers me.

 

Merry Christmas fellas. Anyone get anything good? Parents got us a titan Ssb, axle bar, and a bunch of elite fts bands.

 

I got chinese food and some Scotch.



Aka a typical Friday lmao

 

Anyone that’s had hernia surgery get back in the gym a little earlier than anticipated?

 

Hell yeh man. SSB is on my short list. I got some STrong elbow sleeves and a pulley system that attaches to my squat rack.

 

Solid win for Christmas right there

 

Zero gifts this year between hubs and I. Saving our pennies for a big trail running trip in the mountains this year. So fitness gift is still pending.

@mindstar
Pretty cool backyard 100M this guy did after moving to BC. It is beautiful country.

@St. Swervus went for a run this morning in the low teens, my poor head phones crapped out me by mile 2.

Any good recommendation for headphones that last through the elements? Especially rain.

 

I don't use them. As a matter of fact I don't own any. I give the ones that come with any phone I get to my daughters. I'v got a buddy who runs that swears by Jaybirds. He's a pilot and knows a thing or two about audio/headphone/earbud tech. I prefer the environmental sounds and my own thoughts. And even better when I get it all to go quiet.

 

This sounds terrifying...

 

yeah man, I feel pretty lucky to live where I do.

 

Round 2. Comp event training for the few weeks left. Last heavy week. Mentally just want to get the 280lb stone up so I can be half ass confident in the comp

 

x2 on jay birds

 

When I was doing my ultra I didn’t turn on any music but in training if I’m not running with someone I like tunes, podcasts, or audiobooks.

I do hear a lot about Jaybirds so I will check them out.

Thats whatI was gonna say LOL

What alititudes are around you?

 

5-0-3 tempo deadlift is THE WORST thing I've ever done.

 

On the island it’s typically between 0 and 700m...it gets higher mid island but that’s a good average for the rest of the island. There’s a 225m hill right next to my house which makes a fun run if you like silly shit like that

 

299.9lbs checking in. Time to level off the calories and stick right around here until Jan 23rd. I'll probably weigh-in day before comp around 292lbs then fuel up and be 300lbs come show time. We had planned to jump to 310ish but with prep injuries I didn't push it, plus I'm just going to have fun and not really push myself.

I am feeling A LOT leaner this go around at 300lbs. Last time I was pretty fluffy and felt bloated and slow.

Side note: I sure wish my legs would match up with the top half mass...

 

Sounds like a great way to start each day

 

If your shoulders weren’t so huge then you wouldn’t look so too heavy.
