It's a funny feeling to be doing HIIT and actually enjoying it. 2 years of wrecking my lungs, heart and legs with sprints and now it actually feels good to run really fast

probably not doing it hard enough anymore

Your teeth should be numb and you should taste blood in the back of your throat. Puking is optional.

Oh hey, new swolethread.

I'm turning 30 on Tuesday. What part of myself should I expect to self destruct first?

It won't happen while you're lifting because now you're responsible and you've been doing it long enough. You'll warm up and use good form and do accessory work. Your movements will be purposeful and deliberate. You'll use the right amount of weight to complete your set.

You'll ignore everyone else at the gym, except for the really hot 22 year old girls who lift that you're too old to get now, and you wonder why girls didn't lift when you were 22. But the truth is they did and you were too pussy to take steroids back then.

You'll make gains better than you did in your 20's despite your age. You know how to eat and get plenty of rest. Friday night is spent in the gym instead of the bar, because most of your friends have settled down, and you all get together to day drink at 10 am and talk poo poo about the one friend who hasn't and is still partying with the 22 year old girls from the gym.

Then you pick up your nephew's toy and strain your deltoid. The recovery takes 4 months, during which you tweak your knee walking up the stairs and pinch a nerve from sitting in the car too long.

After Reagan tapped Bush as his running mate, a group of us enjoyed breakfast together while visiting in Reagan's hotel suite. The suite had a common room for hosting guests that was sandwiched between two bedrooms on each side. Bush, Reagan, myself, and some others had been chatting with a mayor from a key battleground state.

Wanting to ingratiate himself to the newly nominated presidential candidate, the mayor said, "My, Governor, you sure look great for a man your age in the midst of political battle. How to you manage to stay in such great physical shape?"

Without saying a word, Reagan got up out of his seat and disappeared into his bedroom.

When he returned, in his hand was an exercise wheel. The thing sort of looked like a doughnut with a stick running through its middle. "Here's my secret, Mr. Mayor," said Reagan.

And with that, the former Eureka College football player, still wearing his suit, dropped to his knees and placed one hand on each of the bars protruding from the wheel. In one long, graceful motion, Reagan stretched his body forward, distributing his weight from his knees to his hands, until his chest hovered inches above the floor. With equal fluidity, he then pulled back on the wheel, recoiling his body like a Slinky before returning to his original position.

"Wow," said the mayor. "I guess doing that every day would keep a man pretty fit."

After we had finished visiting, everyone left the hotel room, or so I thought. Savoring the rare moment of tranquility, I sat down on one of the low-slung couches in the now darkened visiting room and sat silently thinking through what the day might bring. That's when I noticed that someone else was in the room. It was Bush. He walked over to Reagan's little exercise wheel. Curiosity, it seems, had gotten the best of this former Yale University baseball player.

Sitting perfectly motionless, I thought to myself: "I've got to see this."

Mimicking Reagan's earlier demonstration, Bush dropped down onto his knees.

Steadying himself, he put one hand on each side of the wheel and began to lean forward. But as the wheel rolled out about two and a half feet, he began to lose his balance. With shaking hands and wobbling shoulders, his elbows gave way, sending him crashing face forward onto the carpet.

I rustled my papers to let him know someone was in the room. Startled, Bush wrenched his neck around. When our eyes met, he realized for the first time he was not alone. He popped up off the ground, and blew by me on his way out the door without saying a word. It was one of the most unforgettable things I'd ever experienced.

2% is a waste of space that could be packed with swole building calories. Furthermore, vitamins you get from milk are all fat soluble. More fat = more vitamins.

Step it up and add heavy cream to your protein drinks. Put butter on everything.

My wife goes to Koko Fit Club and brags about being on the top of the list all the time for their fitness challenges. I asked her to do a pushup. Nope. I asked her to do one on the stairs. Nope. She was finally able to do pushups off the wall. This made her sore for a few days. What the gently caress is Koko Fit Club.

Forgive me swolethread, for I have thinned. It has been three months since my last lift.


Finished all of this moving bullshit and joined a new gym. It's definitely a scrub gym (Fitness 19), but its cheap and mostly empty. I am in better shape than most of the guys but worse than a few of the girls, so its probably actually a good gym. I prob lost about 30% of my abilities, so I'm chugging whole milk and whole eggs right now.

I was able to do about 50 pull ups when I was a 130 pound freshman from just doing literal hours of body weight workouts. Coincidentally I was also v. unfamiliar with the idea of squatting a weight. Leg muscles are heavy.

Yeah I used to climb the rope to the top of the gym and do pull ups on the rafters. I weighed 155 lbs and ran a 5:30 mile.

Probably could have squatted something considering how much running I did.

15 years and 50 lbs later... I'm probably stronger I think.

It was cheap. I'll give it that.

Just need to set up a feeding tube to drip protein 24 hours.

Also need to know the absorption rate of buttchugging protein.
