    Reasonable workout schedule involving running and lifting?

    From 2019 to 2021 dedicated ako sa workout, as in nagi akong lean and slightly muscular. Skinny fat pa rin pero muscular ako tingnan sa tamang damit.

    Condo Gym

    I used to have a trainer before sa isang gym around P.Campa, I think around 2k per month yung bayad ko sa kaniya so not bad. Ang naging problem ko lang is hindi na ako sumusulpot, especially noong finals ko which was around December. Ever since non, I became physically inactive most of the time...

    I don’t count calories

    I’m a firm believer of “one diet doesn’t fit all”. I see food as medicine: needs to be adjusted to each variable in a person. That being said, I’m wondering if anyone agrees? If you do, how should I figure out how many calories I need?

    Anyone did the 10,000 swing challenge after completing simple from s&s?

    I just completed sinister with the 32kg bell. Do you guys think it's a reasonable idea for me to do the 10,000 swing challenge with a 16 kg bell? I plan to stick with it throughout the challenge to avoid injuries. Has anyone done it?

    What’s your relationship with alcohol?

    I’ve been wondering about alcohol consumption in my life. What does a healthy consumption of alcohol look like? Is it complete abstinence or is it still considered normal and healthy to have a few drinks to celebrate life 2-3 times a year? Nutritionfacts.org always makes sure to remind me that...

    I don't understand S&S strength standards

    Basically it is: 32kg which is "simple" and 48kg which is "sinister". So just numbers without taking your own weight and height into account? How can that be realistic ? Age could count too. I'm 171cm/5'7 and 63kg/137lbs, 35yo male, been training KB for a few months, started with 12kg and I...

    Kaizen Program Failures

    7pm yung webinar, I got in at 9:30 & di pa nasasabi yung price, which is the most important detail anyway. Comments say they spent almost 3 hrs just talking about testimonials. Sobrang MLM talaga ang galawan, yung they’ll prolong the presentation unnecessarily. Baka nga may commission pa ang...

    Surge Eastwood

    I had high expectations with the club but man, I’m disappointed with how limited equipment and space have. I mean, they dont even have other cable attachments like rope or v-bar, just the default one. Compared to their other branches, it is severly lacking. I am not sure if it’s due to the fact...
