However, I do miss playing beer league. Great workout followed by downing a beer faster than I normally would. Same here, nothing like downing a few cold ones in the locker room. Beer just goes down like water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping up with the cars I’ll be the guy at Stanley Park crashing into cars barely going 5km lol. I had no idea bikes were this expensive, thought $500 I’d have a bike and runners. Instead I have to fork out at least another $500 for a decent entry level bike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This home workout is getting to me. For the last 5 weeks, I've been focusing primarily on chest, shoulders, and arms. Can't work back a whole lot because I don't have the adequate equipment. Also, when my father gave me his weight set, he decided to keep his 20lb dumb bells, which eats into my standing tricep extensions. I'm doing squats, but I'm using 45lb dumb bell, so it's more than uncomfortable doing it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try doing other variations of squats instead...goblet squats, sumo squats, jump squats, side squats, Bulgarian split squats, etc...so many different styles. For some reason regular squats were just brutal on my shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find good trails it is essientally fast paced hiking but you can still go at your own pace. Bring some goods, go with a buddy or your lady and have a nice lunch somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Went from 280 to 240 since the new year. Barely worked out. I have been lazy in that regard, but I have changed my diet. My weight fluctuates a lot when I am 240+ Still look the same though. Being 6'4'' with 6'8'' wingspan will do that. Probably should start doing some home workouts. Most of the weight I have lost is fat but I don't doubt I have lost some muscle. Gonna aim for 195-205. gut would probably be fully gone and abs would probably show then if I start working out now. When gyms reopen up I am gonna go hard. I could probably do a lot with 20lb dumbbells. Find any playground to do pull ups. Chest is gonna be an issue since I only got pushups and flys, can't really go hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Does anybody here use greens powder, or specifically chlorella powder? What are your thoughts on hemp oil? I tried this today instead of the usual fish oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Ever since quarantine, I’ve gone from 178 to 181. Not sure if it’s because of the increased work on arms and chest, or because I’m getting fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 While my workouts at home is going fine, I really need to meet with a personal trainer, again. Arms, chest, and back are certainly the areas growing the most, but I want to start pushing more and ensure I’m progressing. Not positive at all that what I’m doing is working a whole lot.

Should still be strong enough to do them especially with dropping 40ish pounds. Could bench 2 plates to 10 before I stopped. Didn't really push too much more than that since I was always alone and wanted the rest of my body to catch up with my chest.

Ended up grabbing a road bike, but now I’m thinking I should have just grabbed a hybrid. We’ll see if I actually stick with it as I’ve been neglecting cardio for sometime. I may just upgrade quick and hand down this bike to my nephew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
