How often do you hit the "gym" ?

Sprints are good. I like to do them on sandy beaches for some extra perspective.
I avoid military press like the plague due to a fucked up shoulder. C2 rower and bench/push ups don't seem to bother things though.

Your aversion to military press is how I feel about deadlifts. Feels like a back injury waiting to happen. Squats and barbell high pulls are good enough for me.

You can't "pull" fat as John Daly used to say (aka NEVER)
Both hammie’s at the same tim? T’s and P’s. I tore my right hammy in August of 2002 playing soccer. Exactly a year later, I tore the left playing rugby. I then had to drive a stick shift home. Took months to recover enough to run more than 2 miles and even then sprints or any sudden movement scared me.

C2 rower and bad backs don't mix. Fortunately, I didn't screw up my back as a UW galley slave (not true of a lot ex rowers) so doesn't bother my back at all.
That said, I try to limit C2 use to 2 or 3 days a weeks tops and don't so any crazy 2K sprints anymore.

I don't anything requires more complex movements. It's pretty hard to screw up bench press, pull ups, back squats, etc unless you're a total dumbass. I'll let the cross fit bros succumb to all the injuries.

Is “hitting the gym” code for masturbating furiously?

I had four knee surgeries before I graduated from high school. Eight years of football, six asphalt motorcycle crashes (one really bad) and about 100 offroad (worst resulting in separated shoulder). Tendons in my wrist are severed from crashing, so really easy to reinjure them. My lower back is so fucked up that I can't think about lifting anything heavy without being unable to walk for a week. The double hamstring tear and shoulder nerve damage are only the latest to heap on the pile.
I rode myself hard and put myself away wet, and now I'm a turnip.

I get some exercise (e.g., running, walking, pushups, pull ups, sit ups, etc) but never go to a gym
I played hoops, tennis, pickle ball, all competitively into my late 30’s…shut that down after witnessing 2 ACLs and 2 Achilles get blown up, in a 2 month span, all in my age range…

Same. Concussion playing rec ball at age 37. Taking a charge at any age is fucking stupid. Taking a charge in rec ball was a feeble attempt at reliving glory days. Skull meeting hardwood, not good
Thereby avoided the blown Achilles and ACLs phase of middle age. -

No need to throw it down big man after age 22.
Hell, my wife retired from hoops fully at age 22 and still needed a brand new fucking hip some 2 decades later.
