Workout: What did you do today?

[DJChameleon]

I'm definitely getting sick. Thursday morning I felt super weak and couldn't get through my sets. I was also sweating way more than usual.

Friday I had planned to take off but I told myself "Fuck it" and went to the gym anyways because it was a cardio day.

Last week I didn't do anything at all. I struggled to eat too but managed 3 meals a day most days last week.

This week I did some benching, squatting and rowing.

I haven't lost any strength so I'm going to take the positives from my week of inactivity, my body had a good rest and I'm raring to go tomorrow.

I'm taking it a bit easy myself in the hopes that doing so will help me getting over this chronic cold / bronchitis / sinusitis.

Taking it easy is like only every third day.. but the sessions have also been a little shorter.

Whars you guys favourite back exercises?

Dumbbell rows from bench for me. With an incline.



You can do them standing up but I am lazy and would rather the bench support me than support myself with my core.

Really pinch at the top and flex the muscles. It's a good one. Sometimes you just agree with exercises and this one is one of mine.

I do dumbbell rows, but I prefer lat cable pulldowns. I feel like I haven't figured the rows out properly because there's usually no noticeable back-DOMS.

What I'd really like is to get both those in during a session, or perhaps swap dumbbell rows for cable rows.

I'd love to be able to do those, but my arms are too long and the stretch is important. I just do barbell rows and pull-ups these days. Something chest supported, to really focus on the back muscles, would be nice but I'm doing just fine without.

I currently do bench and squats with very slow eccentric and pause at the bottom but after watching this I might reconsider.

No they train your tris, front delts and pecs.

Just to be sure post the exercise in case you haven't got it mixed up?

[Guybrush]

Oo, dips might be my favourite chest exercise.

I wanted a dip rack for Christmas. My wife got me a wool scarf 😢

just realized I meant to say pullups.

[jimmy jazz]

Yes pullups are a back exercise. They're great.

30 minute walk in the snow today

[FETCHER.]

I'm running today again, 25mins in one go 🫣 I haven't ran as long as that before so I'm a bit worried about it 😆.

I cancelled my gym membership after hurting my back in Jan, my plans are to continue running and give my back a rest (it's still sore 🥲) and then once I'm a bit closer to my goal weight I'll start getting back to the gym. I do miss it a bit now.

How did you hurt your back if you don't mind me asking?
