I'll take a $35/mo garbo gym that's 3 blocks away over the $200/mo fancy gym 4 blocks away or the $250/mo legit PL gym that's a few subway stops away. Yeah, this is how I think about my Y membership. The equipment isn't fancy and the machines (when I'm bored enough to use cable or free machines) are nothing special but it's cheap and convenient and I don't need anything more right now.

After lifting / benching for something like 18 months nonstop now I discovered this morning that if I try to backpaddle on a raft it is so loving weak and painful that I am a less useful contributor than a bunch of 70 year olds

My gym literally just has a bench, incline bench and a squat rack. And I guess a doohickey to row the bar, but that's pretty much it as far as lifting equipment. But it's free and in my office building so I can lift on company time so eh

Getting paid to lift is even cooler than getting paid to browse the forums.

Add a day or two a week of yoga (power or flow) and it helps a gently caress load. Yoga and lifting go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

Sunday yoga is on my list of things to add if I can find a local place that focuses on mobility instead of realigning my butt chakra. Like you Sludge I'm inflexible as gently caress and it's getting pretty embarrassing.

I run tactical manoeuvrability training workshops with a camo pattern dress code. Start with Ultimate Warrior pose, then we'll break out our massage guns.

I think the thing i hate about a lot of yoga is that its supposed to be relaxing. And putting me into a room of attractive women while i make sex noises and faces while i miserably fail to chaturanga and someone keeps telling me to breathe and relax in a cult leader voice is the least relaxing thing i can imagine. I did some private yoga lessons with a lady who just put on some regular human music and talked to me in a regular human way and it was very relaxing and enjoyable

Well over a decade ago a chiropractor told me I had the flexibility of an 80 year old grandma, then walked it back and said he'd seen octogenarians with better flexibility. I have avoided yoga because I don't want to creep on women, and the only way to do that is to take a spot in the front, which would expose my gangly rear end to the back.I know this is a dumb rationale don't @me

Just go in the front no one cares really. Yoga is literally like the least judgmental activity. Also you get real real good at using your peripheral vision.

Honestly if you can do this more power to you but yoga is one of those things where being in a class and having a teacher can really help. Also two days a week of yoga absolutely won’t interfere with gains. Hand stands are awesome and yoga really works your core.

If yoga is not your thing, find a good Licensed Massage Therapist who specializes in deep tissue massage. It has done wonders for me.
