@jbhoneyangel I hit prs for bench and deadlift going from powerlifting to CrossFit even though I was obviously focusing less on those movements. Some people call it the “what the hell” effect. Really what’s happening is the variety of CrossFit is building you up in areas you weren’t quite...

@redeemedsinner I’m going to guess your wife doesn’t value exercise much? Or maybe you have way higher stress jobs than my wife and I but we were absolutely able to keep it a priority with baby number 1. She still consistently went to the gym at 5 am and I took care of the baby in the morning...

@defd2000 Not really sure how much I spend, these days I home gym it so the costs are fixed not monthly. If we assume I spent $8K over the course of the last 4 years that comes out to about $165/month plus the opportunity cost of a garage bay. The cost of going to the gym is not just the...

@whitehorse I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve cried in the last 20 years and I’m the type to get second hand embarrassed for other people. That said if I saw someone crying during a workout (if I even noticed) my thought would be more like “shit, they’re really going for...

@lep You can gain and lose cardio endurance very quickly, you'll probably be better in a few weeks if you keep going. Or like others have said keto is potentially crushing your ability to do it. Some people can adapt to it and thrive, others not so much.

@farmgal30 Have you ever done the math on how much you spend on gas/wear and tear on your car going to and from the gym?

@renatusfueritexaqua My exposure to sandbags is limited to CrossFit. Have you had any issues with leaking? Literally every bag I used there was leaking sand which is why I haven’t bothered with them at home. Do you have a preferred brand? Would love to get a few for home.

@defd2000 Horse stall mats (you can get them at Tractor supply or a similar store) are the go to. If you're going to home gym it and don't have room for a barbell check out r/kettlebell . They're a much more diverse tool than dumbbells, bit of a learning curve but you can do a lot more with...

@brian7377 Going from 3 days a week to 5 really changed things for me, it took all the thought out of it and made it a habit, to the point where I’d be half way to the gym before I realized what I was doing. Three days a week I could do the whole “I’ll go tomorrow” thing.

@garethmcv Just a heads up KB kings prices include shipping and you get discounts for multiple bells. Your best bet is to put what you want in your cart on both sites and see what the actual check out prices will be. Also Rogues KBs are not made in the USA whereas KB kings are. Lastly I have...

@rawscot If this happens you are the exception, not the rule. Most people who buy treadmills etc... have them just collecting dust within a year or less if they started off sedentary. I highly recommend against newbies to start working out from home, you have no idea what works for you and...

@newbeginning1996 General warm up is two rounds of: 10 mountain climbers each side 10 arm circles in each direction 10 jumping jacks 5 pass throughs with band or pvc. Then start at a low weight if I’m going heavy. Mobility I do post workout or close to bed time.

@passiflora Yes the decline for me has been MUCH slower than family and friends. And I definitely think it's great to pursue new things to improve upon, like you mentioned. I've been doing the big lifts (deads, squats, bench and OHP) for 12 years and haven't really hit any 1 rep max PRs in...

@prestonmcghee I heavily agree with your overall sentiment but I will say there's at least a kernel of truth to what they are saying. I'm 40 and have been consistently working out the past 12 years. There's definitely been a bit of a decline in certain areas, mostly staying up late and...

@nataliekennard Yeah, if I were to live in an apartment again I'd be happy with a pair of adjustable bells. As it stands I have a whole garage bay (plus the outside) when the weather is nice and pretty much the whole basement for winter so space is not too much of a concern for me... At least...

@fionar Based on another comment you said you don't really care if you achieve the goals so I guess it doesn't matter. Everyone's psychology is different and if you're happy and can stay motivated completely whiffing on most of your goals then have at it, most people I know would get very...

@fionar These are some insanely lofty goals for one year dude, especially while losing weight.

@nataliekennard I can't speak to the quality of Titan's KBs but I've heard from others that they are great for the cost. Maybe others can chime in and share their experience but I wouldn't recommend adjustable bells unless money and/or space are extreme limiting factors. I thought about getting...

@shatabj Makes sense, steel is going up in price.

@kitten22 What’s wrong with burpees? Great bang for the buck exercise in my opinion. If this is just an attempt at humor good job, I did laugh even though I disagree.
