got to get up, got to get out

i fear this same thing, it is a good motivator for double bass foot tapping and nice soothing runs

Just got my first stripe today at graduation training. Speechless... first baby steps but this was very unexpected.

Awesome dusty

I’m running 5 to 7 km’s. Pretty dead after 6 but I do recover very quickly after I finish. Maybe I need a steadier pace.

the dead vote well · Post by **the dead vote well** » 09 Dec 2019, 18:14

what's your current pace

Ostx · Post by **Ostx** » 09 Dec 2019, 19:27

I don't know. It varies as I run with my dog, I just got a fitbit charge 3 so I'll be able to measure that.
I start off easy and slowly work up to a higher pace but try to stay around 130 to 140 bpm heart rate-wise.

Hey Skinner,

You like nogi a little more than gi, right?

I also love nogi. Are you planning on checking out a 10th planet gym some time?

Skinfection · Post by **Skinfection** » 11 Jan 2020, 05:02

Yeah I dig nogi. My professor is actually going for his black belt in 10th planet. He's known Eddie for quite a while.

I think I'll stay away from 10th planet for now because Eddie will literally spend 40 minutes talking about how the earth is flat during class on the regular. Also everyone there treats every roll like it's a tournament, and I don't need to get injured just to satisfy some dude's gym ego.

Ostx · Post by **Ostx** » 11 Jan 2020, 12:30

No idea how the 10p place is here in Amsterdam. Would like to jusr visit for a day.

Still very happy with my school though, not too big and great friendly people who want to learn and grow instead of only destroy you.

back training and motivated

nothing heavy really, body building style weights, lots of walking, working to feel healthier in general.

Going for that goddamned 200kg deadlift this year. at 170kg right now.

DO IT

Ostx · Post by **Ostx** » 19 Mar 2020, 16:14

For those who work at home, at least try this.
Every hour do one set of:
- 15 pushups
- 15 squ.ats
- 30 second plank

At the end of your day you have done 120 pushups, 120 sq.uats and a 4 minute plank.
Beats doing nothing.

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 21 Mar 2020, 02:01

got a few weights at home so i can make things work still.

I lifted a bit of weight this weekend

I want to try again, keep it simple. 15 minutes a day, just basic exercise with moderate weight. I'm so weak now

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 28 Apr 2020, 00:24

How? are there gyms open or do you have access to some weights? Good to see you getting back into it

I have a few bits (bands, limited weights, kettlebells, pull up bar), been trying to keep on top of things, work on some issues I've had with my shoulder again etc.

Ninny · Post by **Ninny** » 28 Apr 2020, 02:15

I have some stuff at home, a rack, a bench, a barbell with 70kg in plates

I'm actually in the market for some bands. Any you'd recommend?

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 28 Apr 2020, 13:21

I've had my bands for about a decade, finally getting significant use out of them! I purchased from Iron Woody but like everywhere with sports equipment I am not sure what supply times are like. EliteFTS are another brand I know that is US based but I'm sure Amazon has cheaper alternatives.

I purchased some some "mini" bands from Amazon which are branded Gritin and while I bought these for rehab they are great for training biceps and shoulders because they're easy to double up and increase the resistance slightly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gritin-Resista ... B07L9WLKZQ

You can get kits from Amazon which I've seen suggested by a bunch of instagram accounts, they allow the bands to be hooked under or around door frames but I haven't ordered as I've got enough kit to keep me going - they come under many different brand names and are probably all from the same Chinese factory but here is an example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06W5RPRTF/ ... _lig_dp_it

Amazing! you can get so much done with that, good luck with it.

I sold my squarsh rack, bar and most of my plates last year for PEANUTS. I've been told that weights are going for £4/kg now, normally it's £1/kg. A fellating lover of mine basically sold his gym just to cash in.

When I get my own place I'll start accumulating a few more bits and pieces with any future LOCK-DOWN in mind but I miss the gym and it being separate to the rest of my life.

diabolik · Post by **diabolik** » 30 Apr 2020, 23:12

Finally did a 160kg squarsh and 180kg deadlift, progress!

bills bro · Post by **bills bro** » 01 May 2020, 00:36

yea, but how much can you curl?

diabolik · Post by **diabolik** » 06 May 2020, 00:35

One solid rep for changing car tires two times a year

Skinfection · Post by **Skinfection** » 07 May 2020, 07:28

Gonna order some running shoes so I can start doing that again. I haven't ran in almost 4 years, but the monotony of inactivity is really starting to get to me.

zim · Post by **zim** » 07 May 2020, 07:32

i ran for about 20 seconds the other day and thought my heart was going to explode, i had to rest for like 5 minutes

User · Post by **User** » 07 May 2020, 15:48

i am running every second or third day, it's nice

User · Post by **User** » 30 May 2020, 20:52

that is the good way

ran 10k this morning in the surprisingly cool morning air

this was doubly sweet as i was quite lazy when i got up & thought for awhile i wouldn't go running after all

going running > not going running

got a stupid scrapple watch so i can force myself to pay attention to how lazy i am all the time in an effort to not be

hitting all them daily goals so far. currently going on walks for a few miles every day, doing the big uphill route near my house this week. probably do it for another week or two after that until i'm feeling a bit more back in shape before i start running properly again

Nice work son of eriK

uphill that shit on the face with the beanpole

I really need to exercise more. At least I'm working pretty regularly so that's a good amount of movement. I miss aggressively hugging in pajamas

Likewise.

My professor is opening up the gym on Monday. He couldn't secure a loan so he's basically forced into it. Even if I hadn't moved, I still wouldn't go train. I wish him the best, but it's still way too early and there are still huge covid spikes happening all over the country.
