Rhino, you did this to me!

My music tastes are probably pretty tame compared to some of you but I just found this song and literally looped it for my entire gym session. It's like my ideal workout song.

Which may also be because it has the same kind of feel as Heavy Day, one of my other favorite workout songs.

Do you want to continuously row or 2 on 2 off?

I can’t row for 20 min so I sprint 2 min do some other poo poo for 2 min. Essentially attempting to keep my HR in the 140 range for 60-90 min.

Rowing by it self is boring as gently caress but if you start throwing other poo poo in there it will kill you and make you want to die for sure.

You don’t have to do 2 min you can also go for calories or distance. Whatever target you want.

Edit: for reference I’m gonna attempt to break the C2 world record for 500m in the next few weeks. I’m about 1.5 seconds off of it right now.

That actually sounds perfect. I guess it doesn't matter if it's something like sled pushes, push ups, etc?

Na honestly it doesn’t matter just keep moving.

I’ll do squats, bench, OHP between as well.

I absolutely know I’m slowing my progress on those lifts but I’m trying to keep my cardio up.

I used to do it with my ex as well. She’d row for 30 calories and I’d do pushups / kettlebell poo poo / sit-ups whatever and then we’d switch and I’d row.

It was a great way to spend 30ish min working out with a partner.

If you row continuously, that will make you want to die too. The furthest I’ve ever gone in a single session is 24k, averaging a 7:20 2k split. Just put some headphones on, start rowing, and hate every second of it.

And when you stare long into the abyss, you become aggressively, terminally chill

Been doing a 5x5 program off of the "stronglifts" app for novelty's sake. Ratched my resistances way down to get form right. I don't know how often you're supposed to use the program, but I've been at it five days a week. Squats every day with a 5lb increase will get me to my old max (realistically only doing like 60% range of motion) of 375lbs in a month and a week, though that's probably too fast an increase to keep parallel. Still, it's been a nice change. OHP has been my bane, lol.

I think those programs are usually run 3 days per week. That rate of progression is pretty wild (100lb per month!). Unless you're starting wayyy below your current maximum you'll likely hit a wall in a couple weeks i think. Or unless you're on tren or some poo poo :shrug:

This is realistically what's going to happen. I did go way, way under my old maxes but that was a deliberate attempt to make sure my form was proper.

Coincidentally more than a couple of the residents living in the building I work in have asked if I've been juicing and it's flattering but it's just protein, creatine and amino acids. An acquaintance is on five different cycles and I'm very concerned for their health. I know in the competitive world you need to do what you need to to be the best. It's just not for me.

Not really gym specific but I had to drop a deuce and both stalls were occupied with door open standing pissing dudes. Guy one came out, I went in, seat down with piss on it. I yelled “Dude, come on, lift the seat!” but he just kept walking. Dude two finishes, same deal. He stops and says “man, it was already like that - I didn’t touch it” and I said “yeah, you need to pick it up next time and not piss on it” to which he said “it was already like that” I asked him if his wife accepts that excuse when he pisses on the seat at home and told him to learn to be civilized.

In short, if any of y’all can’t lift the seat with your foot before you start peeing you’re animals.

Well that's my story.
I'm with no-piss on seat guy, I already hate having to poo poo at the gym because

a) you've probably already done at least a few sets to get the blood moving, so sweat = swamp rear end and

b) it's making GBS threads at the gym

I'm not gonna lecture the seat-pissers though, just bitch and complain about it loudly

The last time I wound up discovering that all three stalls, one right after the other, were out of toilet paper. After I finished they ended up being out of toilet seat covers too, which might have had thicker ply than the toilet paper did.

So part of this app i use is support via questions answered by, I dunno, the stronglifts spokesman or whatever the gently caress. Spoiler alert, he's a tool.

What did he say before the PS?

Does strong lifts actually need 2.5kg plates? I noticed they are relatively expensive compared to lbs. If it's just some stupid marketing gimmick making kilos sound like magic to Americans, and you can use lbs, then just get some 5lbs. They are cheap as poo poo. Cap barbell has ones on amazon for $4 each, per the other poster.
