You really can't follow any more or less famous person without it coming out that they are actually really horrible.

Uh oh the trainer now has the group exercise coordinator reaching out to me to figure out a solution to my kettlebell being heavy and their pads being old and beat up.

Are these your own kettlebells you're bringing into a gym to break their stuff?

I haven't played much with kettlebells, but aren't you mainly swinging and pressing them, etc? You'll only set them down when you are done, right? How can it be so hard on the floor?

Well they are heavy and I’m sure they aren’t being gently placed down. Like I mentioned the sidewalk in front of my gym is chipped to poo poo from the kettlebells so its easy to see how the mats are taking a beating.

Exactly, I'm not doing anything crazy and I'm gently placing them down not dropping them.

The trainer was just annoyed that I'm back from paternity leave and taking up mirror space where she wants to train. Her complaint is about the dimple the kettlebell leaves when you sit it down on the pad.

I have my 70lber there but most of the time stick with their provided 53lber as a warmup for barbell/dumbbells.

Nearly all the lifts start or end with the swing position so that you aren't jacking up your back/elbows. It's a very gentle movement at the end of each set.

They go away within a couple minutes, she was just looking grief me because she cant babysit her 80 year old clientele in my mirror spot at lunch. I spoke with the group fitness coordinator and told her to go review the "damage" and get back to me. It's been crickets ever since.

I like hearing those kinds of gym stories, because it makes me feel even better about finally having a nice setup in my garage. I'm going to blast my shoulders and arms in a little bit, while listening to whatever loud obnoxious music comes on my ipod radio and smoking some really dank bud out of my bong. Since its hot I will probably be out there in just my boxers, burping and farting. :feelsgood:

I've also been doing hack deadlifts for awhile and managed to set a PR a few days ago at 365lbs. I have never seen anyone do those in person before, and was always too self conscious to attempt them at my gym.. But man they feel way better than I ever thought they could.

So I packed up my Salvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-Sketch and headed for California.
I was considering getting a power rack for the basement because twins. Less time away from home, more flexibility on when I could work out.

Though recently I
A. Pooped while holding one baby while the other played on a towel in front of me
B. Showered and shaved while holding a baby
on the same day. Pretty sure it was Fathers Day.

Something tells me working out would go to the back burner if it's not something I do at work during lunch.

Just swaddle them with 35lbs plates, not like anyone uses them anyway.

You'll probably have to switch to 45s after a while.

Never stop carrying your kids, the ultimate long term progressive overload training.

Walking with the kid in that carrier thing you strap on was good cardio. I used to take the kid on long 4-5 mile walks every morning before he turned 1 because it put him back to sleep. Having a kid definitely made my workouts more efficient and having a home gym helped

I do overhead or on my shoulders squats all the time with my kids. They love it, and I get a nice burn going. Really, the reason I lift is to be able to chase them around and have fun with them so it all works out.

I was at daycare the other day holding the car seat with one hand and the older one was being naughty so I just cleaned her up like she was a 35# dumbbell. The teachers were all pretty impressed. :wink:

I built a basement gym before my kid was born and it is awesome. I still have a membership for my gym because it's an awesome gym and I can still get there but working out at home is the way to go. I would say the flexibility thing didnt really work out and I now get up at 5am to work out every day but that is mainly because I like routine and trying to work out around napping was driving me crazy.

I'm not planning on having kids but if I did I would totally encourage them to weightlift with me (if they wanted to) because a) bonding, b) it would teach healthy habits, c) maintaining dilf status.

See a sports physical therapist. Don't gently caress with your mechanics up there on your own.
