also i have always been pretty fit but I was very resistant to weightlifting for a long time, it was actually one of the byob fitness threads that convinced me to give it a try and helped me realize that as a phd student i had free gym access DUH anyway I'm chiming in to say that the hardbodies you see in the gym are less intimidating than you think! They are super nice in fact! I was honestly expecting some major jock bro meathead poo poo when i went to the gym but goddamn even the really muscley dudes, if you ask them for a spot or for some advice, they are super friendly. They never were judgemental at all when I asked for a spot to benchpress some tiny amount of weight after I watchwed them benchpress more than I weigh. And not only were they not judgemental but 75% of the time they were even like "yeah yeah good set man! you got it!" that is my story, i call it "the tale of the friendly hardbodies"

alnilam posted:what kind of tshirts are there Oh just different colored shirts for different levels so you can wear it to the gym to show off all the hours you've been in the gym in case your body doesn't reflect that already It's the equivalent of giving a kindergartener a sticker for attendance but it works on me because I have the emotional needs of a kindergartener when it comes to exercise

t-shirts are actually extremely important and useful at the gym since they get destroyed over years of use. I wish I was given free t-shirts - i'm p envious. I keep going through those faster than running shorts (which admittedly I prob should be using heavier shorts for other activities I do)

Unless you are some kinda super focused human being, home makes for a bad spot to train in, the gym is the place to go, and preferably with someone that doesn't hold you back but pushes you constantly. I could never do the gym poo poo at home, too lazy. I could never hit the gym without a partner either because I wouldn't get pushed hard enough. Thankfuly I've got an amazing gymbro pushing me hard, and another beast as a backup.

I'm really interested in trying it but know nothing about it. http://youtu.be/5UY2aTIok50 but that's cuz I don't like standing up and drying off the whole time I'm (not) in the water. however, since you're standing up you do a great service to any surfers around since you can motion to or call out any incoming waves. they handle p much like a longboard and i would be lying if I said they're great for people who can't stroke as well since everyone I know who SUPs is an established swimmer/surfer already. it's tough. I respect anyone on a SUP at north shore Chill la Chill fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jun 26, 2016 Apparently I'm #1 Kotori fan |

Chill la Chill posted:it's neat but IMO boring aside from when you're one of the guys who can ride one in intense waves. like this: North shore's where I first saw it back in like 2010. It seemed cool but I saw some girls doing it on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga a few weeks ago. They looked super bored. One of them brought their dog and the little guy seemed really freaked out. I was in a duck boat so that was cool at least. |

Went surfing on the weekend, it was Ok but the wind was onshore and hella strong so it took hundreds of years to paddle basically slower than the retreating tide, which sucked a bit but I got a few good waves so it was a good time. My new wetsuit arrives soon though! |

I haven't hit the squat rack in a minute but last week I managed to do about 3 or 4 reps of 225 low bar and I did 5 yesterday my form is good now, quads are barely sore. A lot of it is in my rear end and inner thighs. All day yesterday it felt like I had stood for the last 10 hours because I lifted in the morning then after that I did some rows and poo poo

Hey buddy i ride so much on my commute nowadays that after that + getting around town for errands and stuff I really don't feel much like pure recreational riding anymore  I mean I get to enjoy my commute and my errands instead so it's not a bad thing I guessBut if you want to ride somewhere fun and not crazy far sometime, like to the barge on the Mon to go rope swinging, I'm definitely down. I could also be convinced to do an overnight bikepacking trip on the GAP |

Someday... Ack, summer's too short, I wish I could commute by bike. I really want to try gliding sometime too , it looks like a very fun + relaxing way to spend an afternoon, plus way easier + cheaper than getting a pilot's license: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=715E0OTEWuk |

I've started doing Rodney Yee yoga DVDs and I love it because it's quiet, it calms me down, and makes me way more flexible. My kind of workout. I could do this my while life. I love the steady results and gains and that it's not something to dread, but to look forward to. |
