I feel I'm actually getting weaker. Haven't been able to keep up my 3 times a week routine lately. And as tupper said I was away a lot. So it's noot really surprising but it still sucks. I feel like I look more muscular than a year ago and weight increased by about 3kg but I don't see any significant strength or endurance increase. At least not in the past half year. Looks like I hit a plateau. Trying to work out more at home with body weight exercises on days I'm not at the gym now.

I have been addressing this with some success.

1. Diet matters, more protein seems to help energy at the gym. I always carb-load 500 calories which is about how much I will burn, so that's never a consideration. Don't go hungry or too tired.

2. Go more, obviously this works

3. Concentrate. So I worked more heavily on my shoulders and they gained huge in the summer. My legs are still getting sore the next day, and my shoulders, but almost never anything else and I physically can't lift more weight so you instead can do exhaustion sets, that will do it.

4. Switch up your routine, throw out exercises that don't do much and add ones that trigger unused secondary muscles.

5. Don't worry about it, just be healthy and carry on.

I think it's all about 2.
Really haven't gone a lot over summer as I was constantly away and now I'm busy with the garden making new flower beds and planting trees so I barely manage to go to the gym once a week.

How old is this guy? I remember him from when I was a kid.

Good fight, I liked the show of respect at the end. Jake Paul did really well, took some really tough hits early.

Tyson didn't have the stamina, he chose the 8 round format. 

Okay, I'm done with sports for another 20 years.

Back to going to the gym every 2-3 days. Managed to extend leg day to the point of soreness. Left adductors got a bit too much, I really felt that for 2 days. All gone now.

Haven't measured in a while. I gained about 2-3kg from a year ago. I do  think I look more muscular but nothing spectacular. Next medical DEXA measurement that's actually accurate wil be in early spring. Then we will know more.

after more than a year i discovered the gym actually has that diy wrist tool lol
not an abs pipe but a short wooden pole of same thickness with a rope around to attach weights. was hidden is a basket with other tools. clearly some gym regular made this but it works. more difficult than i thought. feels more like an abs exercise just holding your arms straight.

I pinched a nerve in my neck about a month ago and it's finally feeling 90+% but holy shit, that hurt like hell. It sent pain down my arms like cramping for weeks on and off.

My neck bones are full Neandertal, I'm not kidding, normal bones look all nice and compact and separate and mine are just like bone Czech hedgehogs. Sturdy but oops all bone. I always felt like my neck didn't have the full range of motion it needed, it does but it feels like it doesn't. Anyway, if I look hard down, it still pinches the nerve but barely now. Thankfully it didn't interrupt things in my life but if I had to shovel a few metric tones in the garden, last month would have been awful. 

Most definately I have Neandertal neck bones. They're chonky on the X-rays.

How did you manage to pinch that nerve? During workout or some unusual movement?

Something similar happened to host last summer when he exited his car. Strange turning movement, back hurt like hell in certain positions for 2 weeks. Could barely drive but it wasn't noticeable at all except in certain movements like getting up. Not sure if it was a muscle or never. I was short of dragging him to the doctor but it went away gradually.

We helped a friend install solar panels yesterday, they're bear-sized huge plates weighing about 25kg. Not heavy but very cumbersome and hard to grip because both broad and tall. It was a good exercise and host didn't break anything. I did have to yell a few times though so he didn't trip over his shoelaces or other clown stuff. You cannot let his child unsupervised.

Nah that would cause a police operation here, evacuation of the building and cavity searches for everyone.

I've seen people with nazi tattoos, usually white trash, but not in our gym. It's bad enough with 'normal' tattoos though.

Double cringe

We've been able to keep up our schedule in the past 2 months, really going almost every second day, 3 times per week 2h each. Feels good man. But now in summer gym attendance will drop drastically because we'll be away several times. Probably will affect D&D but not drastically.
 >>/7252/
It's just about going there. The bodyOS is a lazy procrastinator. Once you're on your way, it's not an issue.
I experimented with dragging host to the gym 4 days in a row, 2h each. It does have an effect, no pronounced soreness but tiredness. Doesn't affect abilities on the next day though, on the contrary. We've got a good gym record for September, basically every 2nd day.
40 hour fast because I want to make fucking French toast and I didn't have enough time today to do that and I refuse to eat just anything. Anyway I'm not even hungry at this point in hour 29 so tomorrow morning it is.

I think the best way to lose weight is to be too busy to eat.
With great sadness and shame I have to admit that host gained weight recently. Mostly due to the heatwave which curbs any activity. And the AC-less gym didn't help. I'll do my best to get this under control again.

so bc you gotta try out new stuff - i bought 1kg of creatine. it was expensive but im not eating some rebranded chink toxic waste. its german so its gotta be good shit. right? right!
not feeling anything yet - ill let you know if i go berserk
 >>/7465/

I don't recommend that because I don't feel like it does anything useful. 

Supposedly you will have more endurance but if you didn't have a problem with endurance then why?

Another supposedly, you have to take 20g+ a day to outpace the body's natural levels.

I took that shit 14 years ago? 5g a day. I had bloodwork done before and 3 months after, not a god dam change at all, zero effect on blood creatine levels.

I have a feeling it benefits those who work to exhaustion to last a few percent longer, otherwise it's just pissed out. 

I'd be surprised to hear that it does anything but retain water. But you tell us.
 >>/7470/
yeah im not expecting anything to happen. just an experiment. i wanna see if i can do more reps with this shit. doing 20g loading for 5 days to saturate the bodys deposit now. then 5g daily for maintenance.
 >>/7578/
the fuck are you doing? i bet you were just lazy all summer

creatine did nothing as expected. still finishing the package. theres still most of it left. lets see if does something after i ate 1kg. probably not.
 >>/7617/

I had my blood tested before and after taking that when I was 22, my blood creatine levels were exactly the same. But pro athletes swear it helps so who knows. So after looking at studies, I believe it's only in things like the pacer test or running or strenuous exercises where you work to exhaustion that you'll see a difference.

It's fucking ridiculous how weak the body became over summer! This sucks so much. Literally like we had never been in a gym before. Back to the 2-3 days routine now. I wonder how long it takes to reach late spring levels again. Or if it's only going downhill now, straight into the grave...
