Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I heard good things, especially about the first season.

And it gave us the Running Ganger meme paired with its opening, so it gets a pass.

We were, if you paid attention to the ongoing conversation.
In any case, most people lack willpower, that was something we agreed to in the conversation before your interjection. I'm not even sure what purpose your original comment (most people weak minded people :D) served.
Or I do have an idea. But the less said, the better.

Man, I'm 100% like that. I set high target and go absolutely berserk at it until I reach it. Idk how to work out just for the sake of being fit. It has to have an almost unreachable target for me. I just benched 315 last week and it was one of the most rewarding things ever!

No need. I am have no interest in pretending to be good people, I thought I made it super clear in RT though? It's only you who continue to expect me to be a good people, seriously, dude.

What do you think the purpose of my original comment is? Please don't tell me it's something positive!

I don't.

If you don't then you wouldn't say "I'm not even sure", nor read my statement as some kind of statistical statement. You'd be 100% sure what I meant from the start!


Your response is just....weird....

It isn't. You're just fixated over an idea.
You just need to use that wide imagination of yours a little better.

So...why did you read my statement as statistical statement then? Yeah it's totally weird to read it that way, unless you accidentally see a % somewhere in the sentence or something.

sorry, my imagination is so bad that I can't imagine why would anyone read my sentence differently!

I need to get back into working out again. Every time I've tried though, over the past 5 or so years, I wind up doing what I think is moderate progression...

And then I get hurt in some way.

Late 2019 I pulled something in my left thigh, and couldn't do power walking anymore.

Late 2020 my Guyon Canal had sudden knife stab like pain half way through my 4th set of 20 push ups. Couldn't do anything related to that hand for months without intense pain. Sometimes it still flares up if I do much with it.

2022 I started into home workouts again, Guyon Canal pain and pain in my upper back had me tap out.

2023/2024 I started taking 20 pound dumbbells to work just to curl/rows/lunges in downtime. No issue there, but wasn't a truly consistent workout, but felt like the only time I could fit it in between job, future(now current) wife, and other responsibilities.

Haven't tried this year, but options are limited at the moment. Plus I had that random *** shoulder problem last December. That was an exceptionally painful week. Intense shoulder pain out of nowhere during a Christmas get together, and then loss of motion the next day. Three days in a sling with loads of ice and pain meds and a trip to the doc that amounted to, "I can't do ***, see an Ortho if you don't get range of motion back in a couple of days." And I got range of motion back and the pain did go away.

But every now and then, especially when barometric pressure drops, I get stabby needles in my right shoulder.

I wasn't expecting this kinda ***until my 40s.

That's sick.

That's sicker.

As I understand it the current theory is lots of light reps for almost any goal. Unless the goal is powerlifting.

Then again I was never a gym rat. I was more of an "it feels like PE" and I used to skip PE at every opportunity.

Vyre, I'd recommend at least getting on a treadmill.. doing squats etc. Just don't stop completely. The mist abysmal phase of my life was when things were going wrong and I stopped taking care of myself. Now I can at least be depressed with style!! ;)

Just the act of doing something is therapeutic, you don't need to bench 315 like PS1 Hagrid if you're dealing with injuries. But, doing something helps the mindset and makes you more likely to scale up as you're able to.

Can stop at 2/3 sets. Less is more when it comes to intensity, IMO.

Stay very far away from failure and results are better too.

Finding something you enjoy, like bodyweight exercises for example, helps a lot.
