Lifting tomorrow after a week of not doing so, looking forward to it v much

Today was my normal barbell class but I had orchestra rehearsal instead. It's good to have mental fitness too!

I normally work out at home and don't have a bench, and am moving around too much in the next 6 months to join a gym

I did a bunch of broad stance push-ups today

diamond pushups are better for your boobs. bad for your shoulders though so be careful.

Dips are good for Chest too and easy to do at home. You can do flies by getting in pushup position with your hands on two of those furniture slider things and moving your arms in and out.

Every moment that I'm alive, I pray for death!
The weather this week would have been perfect for some long-distances morning runs, cool but sunny and not particularly windy. Unfortunately I caught a wicked head cold over the weekend and can neither run nor work out as I'm congested as hell and gross to be around.

anyone got advice on transitioning from back to front squats? I can’t get my goddamn torso to stay upright and not immediately go into that forward leaning back squat pose. I assume it’s a hip flexibility issue

i thought doing front squats was supposed to help with this because you'll fall over if you lean forward. try dropping the weight?

same

I've found anger to be a pretty okay motivator to work out, I was really pissed about the whole 'proud boys get to bring an armed reaction force and the cops will keep it quiet' thing in Oregon yesterday so I went home and jogged around and did pushups and poo poo

in the military folks used to throw around the phrase 'while you're resting your enemy is training to kill you' and it really seems to be disturbingly applicable domestically these days

Make sure you have the bar as far back as you can get it, I have to have it pressed up against my neck to eliminate any tendency to lean forward. Hip flexibility definitely plays a factor too, I have to stretch my hip flexors out a lot because they get tight which is a really common problem.

Was driving around at work today tuned into NPR and they actually had a good story.

quote:

Emblazoned on Solstar's T-shirts is the motto "Training together for the struggle," with a giant star with a clenched fist. 
"'Sol' is for "solidarity,"" said Lamont. Solidarity among different kinds of people and political groups, she means.
And the star? 
"It's obviously the socialist star."


Now I want to join a socialist gym.

Ive started working out today at my colleges gym, it is hard. I basically havent moved since april and gained a tub as a result. That sucks.
Besides the gym once or twice a week, im following a fitness class every fridays, but not much else, besides soft stuff like yoga.
I dont have a daily routine of sports also

I like IF diets, fasting and then eating a shitton is easier than having evenly spaced small meals and it's more convenient too.
