It’s kinda like NYC in that the public transit is good but you still gotta use your feet to get from a Tube station to your eventual destination. Amazing what walking just a few miles a day can do to cut down on obesity.
I kid
Not really
Americans eat too much. If I exercise less I eat less
It's science
Being fat is still a math problem at the end of the day.

@YellowSnow on the peter puffer row machines, what's considered bad, good or elite? Pre covid gym steam room rendezvous I could hammer out quite a bit. Post covid it sad to see how far I've fallen body, not so much. That being said I've always wondered what were good numbers. Used to play ball with an elite peter puffer rower and another guy who did like those row machine comps and they were in amazing shape. -

We have a rower and an elliptical. Wife will work out on occasion, me, not so much. I have a physically demanding job for 2/3 of year and am skinny by nature. I really should get my ass in gear and row for __min a day.... I think when you turn 40, most of your motivation for that kind of shit goes out the window, I'd rather drink beer and smoke cigars(why not both.gif)

I drink beer, smoke cigars and erg regularly. The latter allows for the former. -
I have a C2 at home, but I can't go two weeks without injuring something, so it's mostly a coat rack. Kind of a catch-22 of wanting to be in shape so I'm more durable but not being durable enough to get in shape.

You can’t out train a shitty diet and the way clothes fit never lies
I signed up with Anytime Fitness for a 50+ dude challenge. 12 weeks to knock off 10 years of rust and 3 years of working at home. Money well spent. While the workouts were more fast paced, it is what I needed at the time and used stuff in the gym I wouldn’t have looked at before. It mainly got the go to the gym habit back in motion
Now I am just back to lifting heavier weights four days a week. A Push/Legs/Push/Pull split. I weigh less than pre-pandemic times which is a good thing I guess
I have some Powerblock adjustable dumbbells I throw around during the day and a 10lb medicine ball to twist around in and some bands as well.
I bought a shit ton of those muscle milk protein shakes and power protein shakes from Costco. Lots of protein. If you do weight watchers they are only 2 points which is great.
So get back to the gym or moving! Perhaps there will be Kiana Tom boob photos in the Wam??? -

I’ve found that the key to successfully enduring old man C2 work outs is that you have to build up the connective tissue very slowly. It’s a process of 3 to 6 months. Most people try to crank too hard from the get go and get broken.1to392831weretaken said:I have a C2 at home, but I can't go two weeks without injuring something, so it's mostly a coat rack.

I’d also add sleep and stress management as the prince and princess. Almost everyone I know who struggles with fitness/health is lacking in these areas. I do so much better with eating right and exercising when I meditate and get in at least 7 hours of quality shut eye. -

Up until about 49, I was a well oiled machine and functioned very well on 6 hours of sleep. Now I’m at 7-8 hours a night.YellowSnow said:

Squats trump all of the upper body strength training exercises.Fenderbender123 said:My gym is starting to get crowded and it's irritating. For the first 7 years I was a member, I could go in anytime before 7am or anytime after 8pm and there would be maybe one other person in there, if that. Now there's like 20 people in there all the time. Not sure if everyone is suddenly on a kick to lose the COVID weight, but like I said it's irritating.
Still better than going in around 4 or 5pm. That's when all the high school and college guys swarm the place. They're loud. They're always crowding around each other and talking, making it hard to get through. They're often on their phone while sitting at a machine or bench while other people are waiting. fuck those guys. Get out of my gym.
I have noticed a lot of dudes that only workout their upper body, too. They look silly having arms bigger than their thighs, but to each their own I guess. I spend 2x as much time working on my lower body than I do upper, because I'm smart.
TL:DR I just wanted to brag that I go to the gym. -
I skied some thick and sticky, off-piste spring snow back on April 30 and my left knee feels a little gimpy ever since. Taking a squat break to heal.TurdBomber said:

Blew mine out as a HS Frosh. Never surgically repaired, but re-injured as a HS Sr which kinda fucked my wrestling career. Ever since, I biked, ran and skied a lot of black diamond runs without incident, by staying on my inside edges at all times. Turns out that ACL thingy isn't as important as people think. The meniscus, however, can hurt like a mother-fucker after a lot of use.YellowSnow said:

Thank God for Rum and Bourbon treatments. -
I screwed up my lateral meniscus on my right knee when I first hit the road (5th day out) and then this past November it really started getting bad. Went out about 4-5 times. Finally got an MR right knee. I have an appointment on the 23rd to review the MRI - not looking good for Lebamdawg as far as knees go.
This is the analyses
IMPRESSION:
1. Bucket-handle/flipped lateral meniscus.
2. Knee osteoarthritis.
3. Grade IV chondromalacia involving the lateral tibiofemoral compartment.
4. Grade III chondromalacia involving the medial tibiofemoral compartment.
5. ACL degeneration sequela from remote partial tearing
6. Small joint effusion.
Number 3 suggests I kneed a replacement. Got the MRI in San Antonio and will get surgery up in Centralia this July if that is what I kneed. The doctor in San Antonio wanted to do it in February but I was leaving Dodge. Won't be anywhere to get it done until July.
The entire process I have used as an excuse to increase my alcohol consumption.
No exercise or long walks to gain perspective for me.
