That doesn't seem expensive at all. That's like 25/month

no, i agree it's ridic cheap. it's also a crowded, single floor gym with minimal equipment. happens to be a block away though, so no real excuses except old tired lazy.

Get a couple resistance bands - easy to pack. Do circuits of those and body weight exercises. You can also mix in the nytimes 7-minute workout, which I find pretty effective if repeated a couple times through and/or mixed with other things.

Been thinking about switching from a Leg-Chest-Back rotation to an A/B rotation, which might make more sense given my schedule (since work has made it harder for me to have 3 lifting days every week, it'd make sure I hit every muscle group regularly).
Was thinking of sort of combining the legs/chest stuff into one day and then doing back and abs on the other -- does this make sense? I also thought it might have the added benefit of being able to move from exercise to exercise more quickly by alternating muscle groups within a workout.
I guess it would look something like:
A: barbell squat, bench press, weighted lunges (or step-ups), dips, incline dumbbell press, machine front squat, cable crossover, calf raisesB: Deadlifts, pulldowns, cable rows, some fourth back exercise (dumbbell rows, delt fly, etc.), and a circuit of ab exercises (usually some combo of plank, side plank, leg raises, russian twists with medicine ball, etc.). Maybe would also do my stability platform stuff on this day if time.

I like jumping rope at the gym for a few mins at the end of a workout.

It gives me a quick rush/sweat at the end and feels like I'm "sealing the deal" somehow.

happy sw0le year. i don't believe in resolutions but i resolve that it is preferable to lift once a week consistently than it is to go 3x/week and stop when work gets too bad then get anxiety about taking time off and not go because of that. i also resolve to get a new job or at least the same one closer to my house.

oh man, the lacrosse ball on the glutes thing is unspeakably painful, too much so to be useful for me.

The rule I made for myself when I started lifting about 5 months ago was that I would only use work as an excuse if I had an actual deadline immediately pending (like was expected to finish something same day/by next day). I have "too much work" to go like 50% of the time, but going makes me do the work more efficiently.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Saturday, 2 January 2016 04:52 (eight years ago) link
yeah but i literally have 10 billion clients and my schedule is unpredictable so there is never not a deadline :/

Sw0le goals for 2016!
Back Squat - #350 deadlift - #400 Overhead press - #200 (probably unrealistic) happy lifting in 2016 everybody
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Monday, 4 January 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link
When people state goals like that are those one-rep maxes? I've never actually tested mine for anything.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Monday, 4 January 2016 17:22 (eight years ago) link
yeah for me those would be 1RM
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Monday, 4 January 2016 17:25 (eight years ago) link
Right now I'm basically at the following weights:
High Back Squat: 155 for 5-8 repsBench Press: 145 for 8 repsDeadlift: 225 for 5 reps
Progress is slow but I really don't mind the slowness. I'm 36, married, kids, this is a real body with curves nah mean.

My midsection has started to feel hard though, which is a cool feeling. It still has a layer of fat on it but it feels tighter than it ever felt.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Monday, 4 January 2016 17:26 (eight years ago) link
that works too. Basically just so you have a baseline to test any progress. Dude i'm turning 40 in a week and i don't have a long history of lifting. I had a lot of quick gains early on but now they come a lot slower. xp
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Monday, 4 January 2016 17:30 (eight years ago) link
Even those I don't think are my max though bc I do them for multiple sets. So never really tested my max, guess I would want a spotter there.

my Y just reopened after renovation (we were in a temp location all year). i was worried they'd have only limited free weights, given what you hear about gym priorities, but i was blown away. they have an olympic platform! bumper plates! brand new squat racks! i haven't used any of it yet, the open house was just yesterday, but i'm pretty psyched.
i went to a Y in another part of town yesterday; younger and more upscale. saw a guy doing 135 lb squats on a bosu ball. ohh lord pac.

my sw0le g0al for 2016 is to lift my new set of completely ridiculous-looking (but well-regarded) weights in our very small spare room I mean luxuriously appointed home gym.
