Why do people hate squats? Are they the most painful one?

squats done right are super brutal, draining, and have the longest and most debilitating DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness - aka the soreness the next day) of all the main lifts some people also foolishly believe that big meaty thighs and a huge muscular butt do not help in the game of love as much as 5 chest and arm days a week

Hey this is a good thread full of positivity. I've been a runner for a very long time (competitive in HS and college) and while I still do it today it's not nearly the volume I once did. I also found a trainer at my gym who I really like and I do HIIT dumbbell workouts in a couple of weekly classes he does, with another class focused on barbell work and oly lifting motions once a week or so on top of that. Running and lifting can definitely fit together and benefit each other, feel free to ask me about it (or either by themselves, though I know more about running on its own). Current fitness/wellness goals are: 1. In bed with electronics off by midnight during the week. I've been averaging six hours of sleep per weeknight over the last month or so and it's rough. Midnight would give me 6.5-7 hours a night which isn't perfect but would really help over a sustained period. 2. Snack less at night/try IF/[insert food consumption-related goal here]. My lunch and dinner during the week already kind of fit into an IF schedule (non-existent snacking at work, lunch around 12:30-1, dinner around 8:30-9), but I definitely need to cut back on junk food after dinner. I'm also not quite brave enough to cut out breakfast entirely like a lot of people suggest for IF, but I do need to get away from my current go-to quick breakfast (banana + berry fruit + tsp peanut butter + skim milk + blender) as it's probably not as healthy as I think it is, considering how much sugar is in there. Might ease into smaller and smaller breakfasts until I can wake up without it during the week. 3. Go from 175-180 lbs to 170-175 without cutting back on weightlifting/GAINZ (for scale, I'm 5'10"). Shouldn't be too tough if I can actually stick with 1 and 2 there, though I weighed myself just now and I'm a solid 180  BONUS: Get my wife to buy into these goals. Without putting her on blast, she's definitely worse about these factors than I am. She does lift and run with me sometimes but she also works a lot and tends to fall into these bad habits as a way to unwind after a stressful. I think it starts with me setting a good example for her to follow which I admittedly need to work on. tl,dr: Please work out C-Euro has issued a correction as of 00:01 on Oct 11, 2018 |

if anyone has trouble shutting their phone off at night i recommend the app Freedom (https://freedom.to/), it's really good and cannot recommend it enough. at 8pm my phone bricks entirely. way easier to get to sleep without noodling on instagram or whatever for an hour. im in bed and head to pillow almost immediately now

I just made a hot sauce that is more or less equal parts local grown garlic/trinidad scorp/ghost pepper puree/lime in a cider vinegar with some other spices, bit of madras curry and paprika couple days to condition in the fridge and it's gonna be ace. Was tempted to use a curry paste but want it to be shelf stable

My building at work has a nice little gym with one glaring flaw. no power rack. just a smith machine. one of the struggles I’ve had at just about any gym is not enough powerlifting stuff. is there a decent workout plan for when squats/deadlifts aren’t available?

Once you're able to run 5 miles in a row like that, it does get boring unless you start training for something Find a half marathon or charity run and set a goal Or start trail running. Don't step on rocks tho

I find small ways to vary my route without changing the overall length, plus I add new audiobooks to my headset because apparently I've not made it clear to you all just how much of a nerd I am. If you're talking about treadmill running then yeah, it's going to get dull as hell after about half an hour. Even if you've got a TV or something there's not a ton you can do about that.

I've never done a class, but spin bikes in general are awesome and are one of the two things keeping my gym from being perfect, the only bikes it has are those air bikes where the front wheel is a huge fan.

I have either a track on the way home from work or down the sidewalk of the busy road by my house being blasted by road noise. Any place that's actually interesting is like a huge ordeal to drive to. I envy people who like, live near parks or whatever. There's one like a mile and a half from me but a lap there is like a half mile. I've never really been that ambitious so I'm not really that goal-motivated. It makes sticking to poo poo pretty hard.

Any place that's actually interesting is like a huge ordeal to drive to. I live in a big city so I'm kind of in the same boat. There's a really nice running area on the other side of town but it's two miles on foot just to get there and the thought of driving somewhere to then run just feels kind of wrong to me. Managed to be asleep by 12:30 last night which isn't where I want to be but is an improvement over the past week. Then my wife came to bed like an hour later and was goofing around on her phone which woke me up  "Breakfast" was a single mandarin orange which is still probably too sugary but fewer calories and I haven't keeled over dead at work yet. Have a little bit of a headache though, which I'm sure is related.
