@nowhereman Goal setting. You are not setting specific goals you are just doing programs. How can you even know if your progress is too slow or too fast without setting a goal? Really cmon now. Too slow relative to what? A specific goal is measurable, has time constraints, is realistic, and...

@lilyheart lol as if I’m going to tell.

@sharkbait13 I like pull-ups. They tend to stretch out my back which feels really nice. A nice dead hang with leg lifts is a great way to work the core in many ways. Progression is fairly simple with a weight belt or one could work their way up to a one arm pullups. Archer pull-ups are a great...

@sassygirl61 Not really but they notice if you are not available consistently then they start wondering why. It’s not a good idea to draw that kind of attention to yourself. Most office environments suck ass and are not happy places unless the leadership is fantastic. But typically good...

@becksblue I can't think of a way and see this as a benefit worth keeping. Unless your work sucks and you are just trying to avoid working by pooping on company time. The unhealthiest result is not having a bowel movement in the morning. At work or at home your body won't know the difference...

@sharkbait13 Why not some bodyweight exercises. Those are quite functional. Weighted dips are great for putting size on all the right spots for me.

@rnstaplesattnet Herbal tea mostly. Great flavours and some have nutrients. Orange tea is not bad for potassium.

@kuroba I get the frustration. 10 years and no progress would bother most people. You didn't mention your diet or training much in your post. There's not a lot to go by. If you don't follow an organized diet, manage macros, then that would be a significant boost to your health. If you have...

@becksblue Sometimes that’s the easiest thing to do. Just find more time by making more available. My cutoff is 3:00 am if I wake up before then I definitely go back to bed. In my opinion, the only benefit to waking up late is staying up late the night before. Late night TV, a decent social...

@sharkbait13 It’s worth it. I would suggest that because it involves lots of “functional” training but there are so many opportunities for coaching and classes. That one factor increases the safety factor by a large amount. Socially it would definitely take me outside of my comfort zone. At a...

@sharkbait13 Yoga is perfect for that. Bodyweight exercises are pretty good. The stuff is tough but involves very little clanging and banging of weights. Just need to be extra careful with that stuff don’t want to be the guy at the yoga studio who injures himself and now someone has to drive...

@sharkbait13 The “functional strength” stuff is more of a fad. It was a term thrown to market fitness programs to people who buy gluten free food despite not having celiac disease. AthleanX was the worst for this. Doing one legged squats while standing on a bosu ball saying things on camera...

@olives The number on the scale indicates only one measure. There is a lot of good things going on underneath the skin. It's just hard to see. Look in the mirror after a set of pushups and you'll be impressed. Flex as well. Appreciating a good pump that you worked for is important. Find...

@confuzn Go on a diet and work on your fork putdowns.

@gm0nkx Taking advice can be a sign of weakness. It's unfortunate. Why be taught to do something when you can go look up the information and teach yourself?

@2preciousgirls Woops!

@impactb13 That’s a humongous amount of food. Even Jay Cutler at his largest would have 280 per day. You may want to double check your math on that. I would still suggest it for the convenience can just slurp down 20 g of protein in little time after a few shakes of a shaker. I find mine are a...

@impactb13 Protein powder and maybe creatine. Sometimes creatine is included in the pre workout powders but not always. If it’s not go for it it makes a slight difference over time. Protein powder is fantastic just for the convenience. Also it typically provides high quality protein for a low...

@hightechredneck Try to strengthen your muscles that are involved. I had a similar problem and through trial and error I found that my hips were tight and my glutes were weak. Likely it was due to a mostly sedentary lifestyle. I worked on both and bam sayonara training plateau. Then I hit...
