Workout: What did you do today?

[Guybrush]

I did some biking too 🙂



Its been fun focusing a little more on stamina. Tomorrow will be weightlifting.

I haven't been doing squats since my back got jacked up, so I feel like my legs are probably shriveling up.

Not that I'm anywhere close, but if I was, I'd hate to be one of those top heavy guys with spindly, shriveled legs. It sometimes looks like they're juicing, but like only doing bench presses, curls and pullups.

some biking but no lifting much lately. the shin splint is still messed up to where I cannot walk long or run at all

Im just going to keep biking twice a day, maybe three times if I can

bike in the gym twice today^

[Guybrush]

Did some biking yesterday. My goal was 1000 kcals in less time than previously which I made after 1 hour, 6 minutes and 50 seconds. Distance was roughly 32 something kilometers or about 20 english miles. Won't impress any dedicated bikers, but as it was only my third time really dedicating workout time to a bike, I was pleased 🙂

I wanted to do bench presses and curls today. Curls was okay, but bench press hurt my stomach too much as I am embarrassingly sore after doing modified candlestick leg lifts on Saturday. It's such a great stomach workout.. I did 4 X 17 reps and thought it was a little too easy, but man did I get DOMS. Its been much too long.

I did Push-Ups instead of bench presses. I feel like these pushing exercises, I'm not really getting stronger. I'm at the same place now as I was in march, I think?

But I also haven't been working consistently at this sort of exercise in a while, so I guess it's only natural.

Might be time to look at diet, how much you're eating etc.

Are you getting enough food?

Also just see today, the bald man I follow tore his lat during a dead lift. That looks like a long time out for him. Praise the lord I only have a hernia!

some biking in the gym again today, thought about going down there for a third round but twice is good too. I really sweat way more than walking when I do the biking. Running of course is a whole shirt of sweat but so is 40 minutes or so on a bike with the resistance high so it's hard to peddle.

I probably don't get enough food. I have a protein shake now and then, but only if I've lifted.

I hurt my back on a deadlift, some ache in the very lowest vertebrae. It's nearly gone now, but it was like.. three weeks ago.

I'm gonna be more careful with deadlifts in particular.

Gruelling workout today. It was..

At start and then at every 2 minutes (so after 2 minutes, 4, 6, 8 etc) we were supposed to do 5 pullups, 10 push-ups and 15 situps. With the remaining time we had left, we were supposed to Row. The workout was done when we had rowed two kilometres or reached 30 minutes.

I figured this isn't going to work out for me, so from the get-go I just about halved the reps. This let me finish in just over 20 minutes. Then I catched my breath and proceeded to row for the remaining time as punishment for scaling the exercise down 😄

Many of the workouts are hard, but I did find the way this one was designed to be particularly cruel. Doing less reps, the exercises were fine, but I just get so damn winded when there's no time to even catch your breath.

Got into the gym three times today. Sweating a lot each time but since I've started doing the biking instead of the walking/running. I noticed the calories hasn't been much for the time using a resistance bike. They probably all have a different calibration, but I'm just going off of how much sweat and how I feel after 40-50minutes. It's as much sweat and tired feeling as running a few miles at least.

I took a little break from the gym but was back at it today starting with chest day like I normally do. Even after the break, I felt pretty good. I might need to up how many reps I do in each set.

one bike session before bed last night

[QuantumSync]

steps: 7690

No biking yesterday but I did finally walk again. Shin was tight but I was able to go walk about 30 minutes. I forgot how great walking outside is for mental health and not only some exercise. It was 24 days of not walking or running, but I going to give it another try today. Maybe get 15k steps or something, plus the biking is a sweat machine so I'll keep doing that also

I had a 45 minutes jog today. I'm in a sorry shape. Got winded uphill and most of it was vaguely unpleasant. It absolutely didn't help that my stomach was filled with heavy breakfast. Who doesn't love jogging and burning.

I obviously should do this more..

walked a bit more yesterday

I have well and truly fell off the wagon and I'm struggling to get back on it. Maybe I should use this thread for some accountability 🤔
